Just a reminder: you are NOT unusual, weird, or unlovable if you have:

- no one to see on Christmas Day,
- no presents, or
- no contactable relatives.

Very few people live the idealised version on TV. Those of us who live differently—whether by choice or trauma—matter as much.

🎶 I'm dreaming of a Red Christmas, like the ones we've never known.
With slave wages risen,
Housing and hospital systems and maybe, if we're lucky, some snow. 🎶

The day after Hitler came to power there were newspapers announcing that nobody needed to panic, he was just exaggerating to make an impact and in power he’d be fine.
this - from the BBC on Elon Musk - is inexcusably naive a month out from the second Trump presidency

Wendy Alexander is a new peer, I met my friend Shona after she switched seats to get away from Wendy on the way to a CND demo in 1981. Shona lied & told Wendy I was her friend cos Wendy was a boring Labour hack. 45 yrs later Shona and I are still good friends & Wendy is still a boring Labour hack.

England uses more electricity than it produces, yet manages to export 5.1 TWh to Europe.

Scotland produces more electricity than it uses and transfers 19TWh to England.

This 'export' appears as income to England, but they are re-selling electricity from Scotland!

A 🧵 on #AIDS in the 80s/90s:
I was 15 when I first had sex with a man.
I’d snuck off to London’s Heaven nightclub with the express intent of ridding myself of my ‘gay virginity’, a goal I achieved easily with a visiting American photographer.

There were trans women at the Stonewall Riots.
There were trans women in the Gay Liberation Front.
There were trans women at the first Pride rally in London in 1972.
I marched with trans women on Section 28 protests in the 1980s.
Our communities, our activism and our histories are intertwined.

(For the most part) People who fought for gay rights in the 1980s/90s fight for trans rights now.
Gay men who distanced themselves from gay rights activists in the 80s/90s (they told us we were too camp/too political etc.) oppose trans rights.
If you fought for gay rights you see the connections.
