LexyNeedham

@AmaraJLynn @LGBTQWriMo My first novella comes out this week from @CarnationBooks. Part of a compilation of three sweet stuck together romances. twitter.com/CarnationBooks…

@guardian Everyone cheering for this decision making clear that they don't actually know what it is. No surprises, awareness and transphobia don't go well together

@AngelzLT @ryanjohnbutcher Same, though. He can come and hang out with me, outside trying to avoid the loud music and the smokers, and we can talk union organising during the Civil Service Strike or something until it's acceptable to go home.

@LexyNeedham @ryanjohnbutcher Yeah he does not give me "straight friend at the gay bar" energy he gives me "goes to the quiet local pub, has one pint and then leaves" energy.

fwiw i once interviewed keir starmer for a queer publication and asked what he’d be drinking and dancing to if he went to a gay bar urmm…👇👇

@OwenJHurcum Their wives and daughters will object when they can't get their lip filler at the salon any more

@Rolo_Tamasi @UKLabour How do you define criminal?

@UKLabour But not a criminal

Says the man fined for breaking the law twice.

@HazelAppleyard_ @UKLabour Oh grow up. You're like a toddler who's learned a new phrase and just as useful

@UKLabour Least he knows what a woman is

@mushycrouton @Glinner He's coming for Michael Cashman? I'll say it as politely as I can, "Fuck off, Glinner"

Hi @Glinner I will put this as politely as I can YOU ARE NOT A GAY MAN. YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR GAY PEOPLE. SHUT YOUR MOUTH. YOU DO NOT GET TO TELL GAY PEOPLE THEY ARE TRAITORS TO GAY PEOPE. STAY IN YOUR LANE AND LEAVE GAY PEOPLE ALONE, HOMOPHOBE. Regards, All gay people

@kalaelizabeth Taash!!

@PolitlcsUK It's alright, the Reform spokesperson says he was probably right

🚨 NEW: Reform UK candidate Ian Gribbin has now apologised "I apologise for these old comments and withdraw them unreservedly and the upset that they have caused" "I myself are upset at the way these comments were taken out of context especially when my mother was the daughter of Russian Jews fleeing persecution"

@KemiBadenoch Likewise the repeal of Roe Vs Wade would never have happened if Donald Trump hadn't been able to put hyper conservative judges on the supreme court. Doesn't matter what's right or safe if you hold the reins

The third reason was having gender-critical men and women in the UK government, holding the positions that mattered most in Equalities and Health. You only need to look at what the SNP did in Scotland to see what would have happened had we not intervened. The Cass Review would **never** have been commissioned under a Labour govt. Labour did not want to know. We had incredible opposition from the system on everything. It was when the ministers changed that everything changed.

@SamL_218 @VigilanteWizard @s_mayta @collnsmith Same and I'm 33. I even struggle with an exercise bike, though, and that's less painful to get wrong.

@VigilanteWizard @s_mayta @collnsmith I live in the UK and I was never taught to ride a bike.... And I still, at 29 can't ride a bike.

@manysuchcases None, the bullies like you made sure of that

Fellow Millennials: How many "trans kids" did you go to school with? There you go. It's a social contagion. A fad. And it's causing lifelong harm to confused, vulnerable youth.

Rick Riordan set up an entire imprint to uplift the voices and stories of minority writers

@AuthorCRitchey So she doesn't use her platform to boost other authors. She doesn't read anything current (she cites the bible, the Illiad, Shakespeare and Chaucer, but only one writer still alive this century who doesn't write in her genre). And yet her work is remarkably derivative.

@LexyNeedham And? Not every author has to have a living author as an influence. I certainly couldn't list one for when I started writing because I was not an avid reader at the time. And now it would be difficult to list a single one that I would consider an influence beyond vibes.

There's literally a Wikipedia page dedicated to this topic. Do these people just hate her so much that they can't take two seconds to think that maybe them being unaware of it doesn't mean it's not there? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Pot…

@vanillaopinions If only they'd invented delivery services

y'all love walkable cities until you need to get groceries

@Aresvonzeus @lord_rowde @Daveyp1967 @BiscAnemone @fesshole Maybe it's Farage's wife

@lord_rowde @Daveyp1967 @BiscAnemone @LexyNeedham @fesshole Just found out. She likely wouldn't be surprised if it had happened before

Just found out my husband has been selected as a parliamentary candidate for the general election. I hope he loses because I don't actually want to be the wife of an MP.
