Now excitedly awaiting the recording on the TedX channel!
Now excitedly awaiting the recording on the TedX channel!
Isnβt it weird? It was just a few days ago that I thought βGareth Dennis would do a great TED talkββ¦ there you go! Hope it went well!
The kind of stuff I write down on tissue paper in GCSE Geography π
What a week! Iβm not usually found on the other side of the camera, so being the host of a video series recorded over four days was a fantastic opportunity for me to solidify my presenter and interviewing skills. Thanks to the incredible team behind this production, I had a really great time! π
Instagram account! Different content!
@garethdennis.uk At some point in the future, I could get a small film crew to follow me around my home country (Poland) as I interview lots of people to gain insights as to how the Polregio and the other devolved operators deliver such a great service. Good idea?
My editing setup for the day. If only I had this at homeβ¦
goodnight?? what a lovely sunrise, Australia is definitely on my bucket list.
Still the same documentary Iβve been working on for seven months π
Cheers for a crazy but awesome day out today @mikewillsee.bsky.social - β€οΈ
Trans people donβt want attention.
We just want to have adequate support, to be treated like humans and left alone by the media.
Trans rights now! π³οΈββ§οΈ
Never lose hope β€οΈ
Guidance like this must not be treated as blanket policy and schools must try to maintain as much flexibility as possible.
Trans kids are trying to live their lives, which have become the subject of political football.
The societal pressure leads to this kind of guidance.
Trans kids must have their say.
Gender is not black and white.
We canβt push trans lives away.
This is not the right way forward.
This is regression.
Publications like GB News are already trying to push the narrative of this being a βlossβ for the safety of [cis] children, and by doing so are looking more stupid than they ever have done. Parents are allowed to express themselves, but their opinions are clearly influenced by the media.
Having painful memories of a time when I was in a school environment where I felt unsafe, wasnβt respected, and was made to feel βotherβ, I know what consequences this will have for thousands of kids who are already dealing with enough.
New trans pupils guidance came out today. This is a huge loss. I am grateful to be in a supportive school that will continue treating me with respect and dignity regardless. I can only imagine the horrible effect this will have on those already struggling enough in an unsafe school environment.
@geofftech.bsky.social Iβve figured out a plan- would love to chat.
Have been speaking about this with many people- somethingβs going very wrong here, and I think someone needs to get to the bottom of it.
The film received a 23-minute standing ovation at the Vienna film festival, well deserved for the important topic that the film tackles, in a way that brings an entire auditorium to complete silence.
One of those painfully difficult ones to watch, itβs a sharp reminder of the horrific consequences of war, by telling the story of one child, who amongst hundreds of thousands, has been murdered by a political agenda.
Not exactly the kind of thing to watch on your birthday, but just came out of the cinema for a screening of the docufiction drama film βThe Voice of Hind Rajabβ and would say itβs well worth the watch.
π
Thatβs insanity.
Oh no! A major new railway with major benefits for the local community and economy is being built and a couple of people arenβt happy about it! I mean, really? π
@clondoner92.bsky.social yes, itβs now available here:

I swapped the same old lenses to a new pair which was already in store ready to buy- they did it in just five mins!
Update.. I have new specs
Glasses just snapped in half⦠last thing I needed to happen right now.
Iβll see you all soon when the time is right for the film to be released. For now, take care and have a lovely rest of your week.
Below is one of my favourite shots from the film. Enjoy!
