“If we view feminism as the struggle of gender-marginalized people for bodily autonomy, rather than just calling these things “women's issues,” then we make room for all trans people within feminism.”

'Richard Ashcroft is as much the Scott Walker of Britpop as David Baddiel is the Spike Milligan of comedy is the new rock ‘n’ roll. You’d think someone who is a million different people from one day to the next would have more than a couple of ideas'

Making our politics group chat approximately 1000% less depressing by sending a kitten photo every time Labour does something we don’t like.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Worked over the weekend to do something for a client who absolutely *definitely* needed to launch something today, no of course it couldn't wait until I had more time, why would I even ask such a thing? Anyway, have they launched it? Have they bollocks.

Kittens cementing their status as household gods already by accepting our offering of (a tiny amount of) shredded duck in return for letting us eat our meal in peace.

Smokey’s found a new favourite spot

A photograph of a sofa against a wall. The sofa is covered in an orange throw and there are two cushions on it. Peeking up from behind the sofa are two pointy ears and a small paw.

The Hampstead ponds have REPEATEDLY voted to include trans women. But the officious pricks at Sex Matters don’t care what other women think and are forcing a public consultation anyway. Throw the ponds some support.

Helen 🏳️‍⚧️✊🏻💕 @mimmymum.bsky.social · 8d

🚨 Consultation survey launched on whether trans people should be able to access Hampstead Heath ladies' pond following Supreme Court ruling

The consultation is open until 12:00 on Tuesday 25th November 2025.
