Someone get Kim Wilde outta retirement quick! #NoKings
Not them singing a @lizzobeeating.bsky.social banger at this event?! Get her words out your mouth!
It’s a shame Diane didn’t pop into the event to hear the experiences of trans and intersex people in NI and to learn about the barriers they face. A vital conversation and event.
This is great advice. And happy big birthday!
My weekend listening is sorted, new Jamie Muscato live music. This man has the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard in real life and he should be a global superstar. But I’m kinda glad he’s not. For now. #JamieMuscato #MusicalTheatre #Heathers #MoulinRouge #LDNGatsby
Nothing more humbling than having to call the bank due to suspicious activity and the lovely fella walking you through all your (genuine) recent transactions. Yes I’m part-boujie, part-garbage person, don’t judge!
Said this before, but every time the "biological woman" circus kicks off I think of the millions of women, including myself, with conditions like PCOS who struggle with "masculine" features like facial hair, and how the only women I'd be afraid to meet in a bathroom are gender-policing creeps.
It's straight cis men with a history of domestic abuse. We don't need an algorithm
Being chronically ill is not lazy.
Resting when your body needs it is not lazy.
Saying “no” is not lazy.
Taking care of yourself is not lazy.
Ableism teaches us to guilt ourselves for respecting our body & its limits. Change the narrative.
Taking care of yourself is powerful.
Table from NI audit office report on mental health spending in NI
The impact of Social Security cuts will be worse in NI.
We have a significant history of trauma & high rts of PTSD (6.1% now, compared with 5.1% in 2005) (4.4% in England)
We spend a lower % of health budget on Mental Health than other UK regions - 5.7% in NI vs 14.1% in Eng
These are *stun-ning* but the one pair of irregular choice boots I ever had hurt my feet so badly I had to seek physio 😬 Never again. They were so so pretty but so impractical. So then why am I here convincing myself that these might be different?! 🤣 Toxic shoeicity.
Daisy’s white paw sits on my open palm

Happy #caturday! Daisy cat has actually been pretty sweet this week, I’ve not been feeling well and she held my hand through it all. And enjoyed our first sunny days of the year. Bestest girl. 🐾🐈⬛😼

Pass it on.
I tell my cat “I know” when she meows at me but if I’m being honest? I don’t always know
I haven’t laughed out loud *this much* in a long time.
Daisy cat is staring into the camera. She is a mainly white cat with black markings on her face and ears. She has gunk on her eyes that she refuses to allow me to remove.
Happy #caturday - it’s the best day of the week! Daisy loves that gunk near her eye so much that she clawed me for trying to remove it; I respect her autonomy (and my skin) too much to argue. Suits her anyway #catsofbluesky
A movie you've watched more than six times, using only GIFs.
I feel like if French classes had focused on excellent phrases like this it may have stuck more. Feck the past participle!
I think this is the best thing I’ve ever learned on social media. Poor Hannah.
Daisy cat, a white cat with some black markings, is shown with a Lightning McQueen (red sports car from the Cars movie) birthday cake. She is not thrilled about it.
Daisy cat, a white cat with some black markings, sitting on the top of the stairs staring in at me, very defiantly. She is not allowed in that space. She does not care.
Happy #caturday! Here is Daisy cat out in the hallway (where she is definitely not meant to be) looking pure innocent. She also attended a birthday party this week and was not thrilled. I love her rebellious, pissed off little face and spirit so much. ❤️🐾 #catsofbluesky
Lisa Sterle's incredible Ten of Swords tarot card from the Modern Witch tarot, depicting a woman with long hair lying on a jagged landscape under an ominous sky. She's stuck full of swords and looking at her phone. It's captioned EVERYTHING IS FINE.
Ireland is now at 84.91% of it's threshold to count as one of the seven #EU countries to get this initiave to ban LGBT conversion "therapy" which means we need 1,383

This level of cruelty actually takes my breath away.
Unparalleled Limerick energy here. Lunatic sandwich prepared on the bonnet of a taxi
The logic of the coup that is going on now. And how to resist it.

The Toy Show was good craic over here last year, I’d a special tab and all for it so could just dip in and out. It felt very Twitter circa 2012 that night so fingers crossed it can replace some of what was lost when the cesspit emerged, esp on Big News days.
A black cat with white belly and boots lounges on a wooden church floor, snoozing oblivious to the thousands of tourists there to see him.
Southwark Cathedral in London has a famous resident “mouser”, who even has his own line of merch in the gift shop. Lovely little fella and people go just to see him, so could be a good way to lure people in.
