Your local angry transmom and a former Bristolian. Now a girl of Valencia 🥳 I usually follow back if you've engaged with my shitposting, more so if you are trans or trans adjacent :P https://www.instagram.com/aidaa.paul/

A white statement graphic from Women’s Rights Network Northern Ireland, dated 21 July 2026, titled “Women’s Rights Network – Feile cancels the voices of women.” The statement says Féile an Phobail cancelled its planned event, “Respect, Rights & Reality,” about women’s sex-based rights after an online campaign. It criticises the decision as silencing women and says the organisation remains committed to holding the discussion. A circular Northern Ireland Women’s Rights Network logo appears in the top-right corner.

Two smiling women sit closely together on a dark leather couch, leaning their heads toward each other for a selfie. One wears glasses and a dark green top; the other has red hair and a black-and-white striped sleeveless top. Large windows with partially closed shutters are behind them.
Bristol, you were my first home; twenty-five years of belonging nowhere. No place to rest, no guiding star, until you shone, and warmed what was missing inside. I arrived at fourteen already leaving. It took almost forty years to say my own name out loud, and I said it first in your streets. Then you were taken. In the season of my greatest joy, torn out; from me, from my family's hearth. By people who would not let a woman be. Now I learn a new word for home in a language none of us chose.

A hand holds a torn orange-and-white “Organic House Blend” single-serve coffee bag packet. The packet says the coffee is sweet and full-flavoured with notes of chocolate and malt biscuit, and gives instructions to add the bag to a cup, pour in boiled water, stir/squeeze, and brew for 3–5 minutes.

The image is displayed in a drawing app, with the iPad and Apple Pencil visible in a dark room.
Screenshot of a Facebook post from “Estranged & Rearranged” scolding adult children for going no contact with their parents. The post calls estrangement “deserting your parents,” frames leaving as abandonment, and suggests most people cut off parents because they are mad, offended, or influenced by online support groups, rather than because of danger or abuse.
A red-haired woman smiles mischievously at the camera in a pink “Be Gay!” shirt, looking joyful and self-assured. Behind her is a cat tree wrapped in rope and faux ivy. The image accompanies text rejecting the idea that transitioning after your 20s makes happiness or beauty impossible, noting she came out at 35.

Alt text: Screenshot of a Facebook post by Keir Starmer, posted 4 hours ago, saying: “I know you’re worried that a social media ban could affect the tools your kids use to learn. If it’s built for kids and keeps them safe, it’s not what we’re talking about.”
A historic two-story stone and brick civic building (the town hall of Catarroja, Spain) on a sunny day. Several banners hang from its balconies: vertical rainbow flags spelling "CATARROJA" and "ORGULLOSA," a blue Pride banner for June 28th LGBT Pride Day, a banner supporting public education ("amb l'educació pública"), and an anti-war banner ("No a la guerra"). A jacaranda tree with purple blossoms stands to the right, and an empty fountain with blue and yellow ceramic tiles sits in the foreground plaza. One person walks near the building on the right.
