MD @Nexerdigital.bsky.social. Interests veer wildly from pop culture and TV/film nostalgia, to LGBTQ+, Eurovision and digital inclusion. Cumbrian. LWithTheT

Don’t ban people from football, from wards, from park runs or from spaces. Find a way to include. Fund the research to understand levels of activity and need, then redesign things to accommodate. What we are doing to trans people is horrendous #LwithTheT

I look at ways to make it less American and relentless, through muting, and decided I’d just not click on Discover for a bit

RIP JILLY COOPER! A queen who wrote THE most readable books in existence. People saw my thread of epic Jilly quotes and decided I was saying the books are shite. You COULDN'T be more wrong. Go and watch Rivals today.

🧵Some real Jilly Cooper quotes from her Rutshire Chronicles, the series of books that Rivals is from.

1) "Her breasts swayed like party balloons when the front door opens"

Party 2 - We will deport you all, twice!

Party 3 - We will deport some of you and arrest the rest!

That puts the chalky roundabout efforts here to shame

hilaryonline.bsky.social @hilaryonline.bsky.social · 3d

It’s UK only for now I understand.

I’ve said that about so many “thought leaders”. I’ve often thought what would the Queen Mum do as well.

Well we get to celebrate their differences I guess. Nothing discovered on that front. It’s just nice to see them both navigating more grown up things.

Nope

Yes, though all shares welcome. Some men have signed of course

30 more women to tip this over 55k today? The calm, compassionate, inclusive feminists, who might not have seen the amazing support received for the trans community and the rejection of hate so far? Go on…

Not In Our Name (NION) Women @nionwomen.bsky.social · 6d

We expect to hit 55k signatures in support of our open letter this week, perhaps even today. Thank you to everyone who has signed or shared. Let’s keep this going:

Tbf, I thought the police officer gave a vocal eye-roll when she said they certainly weren’t getting an escort. Such a waste of energy, and the wrong policy to allow it.

But LOOK at your life Sharon x

Hard, when one is basically just a massive grabber. Younger one salivating over chores and reward on the Rooster app! We did nickname her “Weights and Measures” from a young age tbf

hilaryonline.bsky.social @hilaryonline.bsky.social · 4d

All kinds of stuff in the mix I know, but it’s quite amusing to watch. 12 year old will return from Stockport today with all manner of Halloween tat, while Scrooge McDuck ogles her balance

Have given both kids a debit card and app. Older one blags money and spends it all as soon as it drops. Younger one has itemised list in head of all money ever received, and will make us check the app statement monthly in a family meeting like it’s 1987. Some weird nature vs nurture shit here

Storming and timely. I wish stuff like this would cut through, against even a tiny percentage of the crap I’ve read this week, on political party posts, local community groups and worryingly, LinkedIn! It’ll be the school WhatsApp group next

Was really rather pissed off when I wrote this - substack.com/inbox/post/1...

'Look What You Made Me Do'...

... When creeping fascism in society is blamed on 'the left'.

Actor Patricia Routledge dress as the character Kitty, wearing a coral sparkly top, gold jewellery and a tiara. She’s holding a small sherry and pointing at the camera while frowning

Deciding to watch The Substance as a 52 year old recovering from surgery might not have been my finest film choice yesterday. Need to go “lighter” today
