An autumnal track to follow

From the lane to Staveley yesterday. Some trees are showing green, others not so much...

Woman of the Day suffragist and philanthropist Margaret Brown (1867-1932) of Missouri, a passenger on RMS Titanic when it sank OTD 1912 in the Atlantic Ocean after colliding with an iceberg. She urged the Quartermaster in charge of Lifeboat No. 6 to return for survivors and…

If you've had enough of experts, here's Billy Bragg. Hard to fathom why he wasn't asked to conduct the review rather than Hilary Cass, former President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health & Great Ormond Street consultant. I mean he did write 'Sexuality' so . . .

Mine's a Jay btw.

Hello everyone, I'm not planning on coming back to Twitter / X but Ruth Hunt's comments were just too much. Please know that I am very well & looking forward to the appeal against Stonewall next month. What a difference you have all made. Justice is coming. Bye for now xx

This is my 22 year old bedbound daughter.

Who has (wrongly it appears), been told she's not entitled to same-sex intimate care.

Only same 'gender'.

Or her 24-hour care package is at risk.

This is the reality of 'Trans Rights'.

Of denying that biological sex is real.…

J.K. Rowling “I’d have got involved earlier but I was busy calling you hysterical”

Yellowhammer dart! 😁🐦

Spring green, coming soon.

Every. Single. Word.
