These are perhaps my best ever charity shop finds… I bought all four #Kylie 2015 CD reissues and the 2007 #Dannii CD reissues for 50p each in a shop in #Edinburgh. I also bought around sixty other pop classic CDs (lots of rare CDs) for the same price. Bargains!

When I die, I want to be known as a supporter of trans people. That will be my legacy.

Rest in peace @JaneyGodley Thank you for all the laughs, and for being an amazing LGBTQ+ ally. My thoughts are with her family and friends.

I spotted this in @JohnLewisRetail yesterday. Their #QualityStreet Christmas tree baubles have been recalled due to the risk of them being mistaken for real chocolates. You’d think people would at least try to remove the wrapper before taking a bite. Madness!

We proudly joined the @pridemoray march in Forres, Scottish Highlands, yesterday. We were beaming with #Pride all day! Thank you to the team of volunteers for all their work making the event happen. It was amazing seeing so many allies show their support too. Pride is a protest!
