    Now that Thr*ads and Bl*eSky have picked up and given M*sk’s antics and general bots and right wing horror of this platform I’ll mainly be posting on the other platforms, plus Link*dIn, as well as monitoring this place like. Hopefully see you on the other, better side.

    Hard to explain the relief to have a video of one of the most senior politicians in the country marching previously in pride in front of all the LGBT+ flags. I hope fervently it means better times for my trans family members and trans friends.

    I came out as a gay teacher in a whole-school assembly in 2010. Today, 4 years later, I just received this email. Wow

    Absolutely wonderful example of pendulum waves and how different frequencies go temporarily in and out of phase. x.com/ZonePhysics/st…

    12 years ago today a woman who I don't know passed away and, as an organ donor, gave me the gift of life, with my liver transplant saving me from a potentially fatal disease. I'm raising money today for @LiverTrust if you'd kindly consider it. facebook.com/510354811/post…

    Just heard that my 85-year old Dad is scheduled for the vaccine next week and that's some of the most heart-warming news I've heard this year.

    Had to withdraw from a future speaking engagement because the organisers had a line up of 8 men. Fortunately managed to get them to agree to replace me with a superb (female) speaker. To their credit they're now overhauling policies BUT it shouldn't happen in the first place.

    I know there’s people celebrating tonight. But since I can remember I’ve been a proud European and Europhile. I’m sure there are benefits and I accept democracy but, for me, this is a treasured part of my identity that has been forcibly taken from me. 🇪🇺💔🇬🇧

    Have just heard that my nephew (9) is newly obsessed with Excel and is currently creating a data table to record the likeability factors of his various teddies. This is the most amazing news I've heard this year - the future of civilisation looks bright.
