Just started watching House of Guinness and half of the characters are literally dressed like this. 🤦‍♂️

Me walking in public and what’s in my headphones. The face doesn’t match the music. This is what it sounds like. #huntrix #kpopdemonhunters

I love the sound of this!

Paul Bloomer @bloomeroid.bsky.social · Sep 8

I’m so sorry. I hope that things turn around

Paul Bloomer @bloomeroid.bsky.social · Sep 8

Oh a bit like a cherry ripe!

Show me a picture or I won’t believe they exist.

I just wish Government would get on with it, and tackle the big issues facing society. Like bringing back Vice versas and Secret bars.

This looks painful.

Pretty little baby

He’s not talking about me by the way.

Paul Bloomer @bloomeroid.bsky.social · Sep 5

I’m so sorry. Wishing you every strength right now.

My wee pal Milo. 14 1/2 years old, still a goofball and very good boy.

I swear to God, if I actually graduate in December, I’m going to buy myself one of these things. Even if it means I don’t eat for a month.

This is Ryan! He’s an artist and creator what goes by @bearlygoin.bsky.social online. He has created this lovely series of ‘inner bear’ portraits. Check out his art and drop him a follow! #innerbear #bearsofbluesky

Yes!

Paul Bloomer @bloomeroid.bsky.social · Aug 20

I dream of this.

Paul Bloomer @bloomeroid.bsky.social · Aug 19

The abuse LGBT+ people face for sticking up for their own community should shock any reasonable person. The vile harassment comes from an army of bots & well funded trolls who pretend that they’re victim. I’d love to see actual critical journalism covering this, not framing them as false victims.

Since the BBC article about the Polari Prize I've been receiving some 'lovely' emails.

1. Calling me a bully whilst sending threats is a choice...
2. You're literally all men!
3. Consider using an anonymous email as you might be easily findable on LinkedIn. Hi Kevin. 👋🏻

The media’s talking points are that those who are anti-trans are inundated with nasty messages & threats. In fact it is the fans of transphobic extremists that behave with vitriol. Here’s how Sacha has been treated. I have also experienced similar. Transphobes are obnoxious bullies with no humanity.

I had an amazing time trying out the cocktail making experience at McConnell’s Irish whisky, I’d definitely recommend it, McConnell’s were kind enough to give a code to my followers, Bloomeroid it gives you £15 off the cocktail experience. Link in my bio.

Lady Portia is a Belfast icon. Following a drag queen storytime event she has been harassed with anti LGBT+ hate. There’s an effort to attack LGBT+ people in public life in the hope of making us less visible, Lady P is making a stand against it. Please help support her. Donate at gofund.me/8f898742
