Happy #TwinPeaks Day for everyone celebrating!

"When you see it on Truth Social you know it's directly from President Trump, that's the beauty of this president in his transparency and relaying this administration's policies."

So says Trump's Press Secretary.

Unless it's a racist meme feature Obamas, when it was posted by a "staffer".

Horse's mouth. Horse's ass more like.

To all of the #trans folk here - I want to say you are trusted and you are loved.
💚

@amyfou today, Roo went to the Queer Emporium in Cardiff and had whipped cream from a paper cup. He's so stylish.

@amyfou just for you...

Just watched Weapons.

Apparently a #horror #film.

Got to be honest, it went downhill after about the first half hour.

There's no innovation in the genre despite the reviews.

So. Sigh. Next!

@humanhorseshoes that's a great pic!

@humanhorseshoes well played!

I am not obsessed with Roo.

No.

I am not.

Goodnight.

@dan weird. Sounded clip and extract was posted? Either way, vile content from an official, influential account...

@dan I can't even........

Fucking hell. Words fucking fail me.

"A staffer?"

Yeah. Right.

Going to the hairdressers today.

Haven't been for a few months (it's one of the first things I drop when I'm out of work, but it's getting unmanageable now).

So there's a lot to work with.

And I need to change style. The upbrush/retro quiff styling hasn't exactly brought me any good fortune in the last year.

So I'm researching shorter styles.

And I don't think any will look good.

And I want to cry.

Is this normal?

I might just say 'F'ck it' and stick with what I have. When it styles well, I like it. But it's increasingly tied to a time and a space that I need to move from.

Sigh.

First world problems. Pass the snivelling cloths and I'll pull myself together.

Hey folks - is anyone checking out Upscrolled? (New #SocialMedia platform)

If so, how are you finding it?

Morning everyone.

Well Schitt me.

RIP to a vocal legend and fine, fine actor.

While this High Court decision is obviously great for #trans folks' access to #Hampstead Ponds, there's a point that I'd like to particularly pull out. A point which strengthens the decision.

Quoting from the BBC:

"A consultation run by the City of London Corporation and published on Thursday found that nearly 90% of respondents backed trans-inclusive access to the ponds.

More than 38,000 people took part in the consultation over a period of two months.

Of those, 84% of respondents to the consultation had swum at the bathing ponds and 74% lived in London, the City of London said."
[The exact figure is 86%]

The point to raise is that this isn't a piffling consultation that no-one bothered with.

38k respondents is significant, as is the % support.

This is a clear vote of confidence in #TransRights and #TransEquality.

Everyone should feel safe and secure, and have their voices heard.

That's been done now, so I hope everyone can swim in peace & comfort.
