Transphobes are always misogynists; and those who will attack trans healthcare will always deny, reduce, downplay or dismantle women's healthcare.

Always.

Wonderful news for community heritage

The clock is ticking.....

What gorgeous folds in the fabric here

Well indeed!

Visited The Met Museum on our recent visit to NYC & thought of you @museumbums.bsky.social when we saw Perseus #MuseumBums #MuseumMonday

We've not long returned from New York City and a visit to family. This is such a vibrant and exciting place. I hope that it is not ruined by the forces now in control.

This worries me greatly. Such a backward step in the museum world.

I work in a visitor attraction and every year we remind ourselves that, almost certainly, one of the children visiting us this year will end up running a site like ours in the future.

Our future is in their hands.

Happy #BurnsNight

Warm wishes for #BurnsNight 2025 from me & snowy Albany NY’s own bard incarnate.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Cauld blew the bitter-biting north
Upon thy early, humble birth;
Yet cheerfully thou glinted forth
Amid the storm,
Scarce rear'd above the parent-earth
Thy tender form.

It seems to be the way of things at the moment. We have lost a fabulous restaurant in our area. The location is sublime and the food too. So sad.

25 January is the day on which Robert Burns was born and here I am portraying his wife Jean in their first home in Dumfriesshire, Ellisland Farm where he wrote some of his most famous work. #BurnsNight #ScottishHistory

That is a great shame.
