On the way to #brighton - these are some colours in the way to the station #photography #wall #flowers

If Labour lose seats to Reform they can say “see, told you everyone is horribly right wing and racist so we were correct to get more right wing in our country of strangers “ whereas when they lose to Greens it’s “we thought betraying almost every promise Starmer said he stood by was a genius move , but turns out people aren’t the arseholes we want them to be but we are “

I am fascinated by how some in the anti trans movement cannot see how useful they are to the far right who will then remove all women’s rights. Each week, I seem to find out more about the mansion meetings of the anti trans activists who were determined to erase me from the BBC, and others complicity in this. It has been an important lesson in how power and hatred work together. Solidarity to all those whose lives are seen as collateral in this aggressive hatred .

Some people may well think I was never good enough (I was frequently one of them ) to be called a stand up comic - I think my inconsistency has finally got the better of me #comedy #standup

I am starting another bookshop and library tour in late April - tour dates here and more being added - including Devon and Cornwall at end of June

@kristiedegaris@mastodon.scot depressing to read that one in six female comedians have been followed home after gigs

@kristiedegaris@mastodon.scot your experience seems to match so many of my friends - thank you for writing this , I am sure it will be helpful to women facing similar crap

Change for women in comedy still moves sluggishly

I put this up precisely because I thought it was fascinating and very different to when I thought - the answer is 1930

Thank you for support from Monkey Cage listeners - I am asked many questions - this by Skepchick is the beginning of some answers - to be supportive of trans people & trans allies made me an extremist and too political - this explains some of that process

Starmer gets worse every day - this apology is no good at all - Mandelson took up Epstein’s hospitality while he was serving time for child trafficking - this was well known - see also Zak Polanski’s letter to Wes Streeting #epstein #starmer #mandelson #greenparty

Love this photograph last night of Paul McGann and me at Slapstick Fest - we’re ready for our Joe Orton play #comedy #slapstick #movies #cult #culture

Come see me in Leicester in a couple of weeks - only a few tickets left

Last night on stage , I announced my resignation from the Infinite Monkey Cage - here is my statement #science #radio #bbc

After a gig, went to the pub - there was a gig on - so took to the stage with Paul Hartnoll of #orbital to perform a poem about his work #poem #poetry #dance #music #livemusic
