He/Him, Deaf. Trains, science & human rights!

In Czechia railways have influenced the names used for some towns. More than one Benešov - so the one near Prague becomes "Benešov u Prahy" (Benešov near Prague) after its station. This is so established that it took ages for a Czech friend to learn it's not the official name.


I used to think well of @PinkNews. They reported on a protest I made against weapons companies elbowing their way into Pride. Sad to see how much they really seem to care about #pinkwashing a corporate image to hide a rotten core #BoycottPinkNews

When I was 17, photos had about 5 pixels and my hair mostly looked like it had been dragged through a hedge

It’s absolutely wild that Kirstie allsopp is getting this much hate from terves when she’s literally said she doesn’t agree with puberty blockers or trans women in single sex spaces. She’s not even an ally she’s just someone who thinks you shouldn’t threaten trans people.


It will never not be funny when newspaper writers have to invent imaginary people like "Davina Dripping-Wett" to make whatever point they think they're making

‘But they know it’s going to happen so it is their intention.’ @mrjamesob is astounded by caller Michael, who likens Palestinian children being killed to accidentally spilling paint.

It's a shame that it took British aid workers dying for newspapers to realise that killing people in Gaza is bad. This had better make some kind of impact on our craven government.

The absolute state of Germany right now. This gay man who fled Iran got in touch with me. Because he backed a ceasefire in Gaza, non-Jewish Germans racially abused him. They then demanded he put the Israeli flag on the door of his shop. What do you even say?

Ur fun fact of the day: the insect population is declining by roughly 2.1% each year and nearly 40% of all bug/insect species are slowly creeping into the endangered classification. It’s the biggest, *unspoken* mass extinction we’ve witnessed in 250 million years :(

Older people remember well that, any car trip on most roads meant a windshield/grill covered in bugs crushed by impact. Today this no longer happens in the same way. Where did the insects go?

Had to check this wasn't posted this morning (it wasn't) because who would seriously believe this? If this actually worked, protestors would be stringing up batboxes at their protests.


Well, no. Removing yourself would make the news and bring Israel's very own "special military operation" back to the fore. Cowardly statement.

Queers for Palestine sent me their letter asking me to withdraw from the ESC earlier this week and I responded to them directly, I’m sharing my response here alongside this mornings collective artist statement 🩷

“LGBT indoctrination is responsible for the increasing rates of LGBT young people”. No. The abundance of 55 year old men with wives asking for “discrete meets” on my Grindr just haven’t told the census.

Keir Starmer has waded into the Nike England shirt row, proving to critics that he is capable of taking a principled stance on an issue, just as long as that issue is utterly meaningless

Yep. A party that doesn't favour nuclear power and HS2 is not one I can vote for.
