Fab time with @moxymcr playing with @salfordprideuk. I've been going to pride events for almost 25 years. From small fetes in village halls to mass parades through city centres they are great opportunities to come together celebrate life, affirm our collective solidarity and amplify agendas of positive change. For some it's a party, for others it's a protest...for me it's both, one and the same. I have watched the pride's in my home cities of Birmingham and Manchester grow from niche events attended by hundreds into prominent profitable parts of our cultural calendars that attract 10,000. There's good and bad to that. Whilst its a wonderful achievement, (I like a big pride just as much as everyone else!), It's easy to loose loose focus of prides purpose in their sheer scale! That's why It's so important to continue to support smaller events like Salford Pride. For those outside of the area, Salford is Manchester's lesser known sister city and the home of my drag families 'drag Lab'. These smaller events, away from the distractions of major headliners and the pressure of the four day bender (or 4 day shift if you are a drag), are sometimes better opportunities to connect and enjoy the presence of each othe, our local talent and achievements. So thankyou @salford pride and @moxyhotels for having me and helping to make these events happen.

Had a blast taking part in this fabulous pannel for @jomalonelondon with @ryan_zaman, @junobirch & Jennifer from @stonewallhousing talking inclusion and corporate responsibility. By far one of the most rewarding parts of my work is getting to engage in dialogue with such interesting people. Conversation is one of our most effective tools. The willingness to listen and share experiences, discuss our differences, find commonalities and debate evidence is essential if the human race is to survive. This world is a messy place, striving to make it better sometimes feels like a never ending process, untangling the threads of thought, determining their usefulness and weaving what remains together in a way that might bear the weight of our competing needs. It is a task destined to always be incomplete as we make and remake the world together. But with company like this who wants the conversation to ever end!

PLEASE READ With sadness, but necessary resolve I am unable to accept my nomination for @britishlgbtawards 'TV moment of the year' for my discussion of the Pink Triangle on @dragraceukbbc The event unfortunately has a number of sponsors with questionable track records on climate change, racism and inequality, including @bp_plc and @shell. These two in particular have consistently failed to back up rhetoric of low carbon transition with actions to that effect. It has always been my belief that drags visibility has a unique power to intentionally and unintentionally draw attention to issues that matter. Whilst I recognise the importance of representation and celebrating our communities successes it should never be at the expense of others. Given the nomination was offered for an act of creative advocacy, it wouldn't feel right to be part of the event knowing the damage these companies are still doing to the environment and communities most affected by climate change. I wish to extend my thanks to all those that nominated me and to the panelists and organisers who I know have to balance moral platitudes to fund these events. However in this instance the cost of compromise was too great. There can be no pride if there's no planet 🌱 Special thanks to @tippingpointuk and @fossilfreepride for pushing us all to think about this!

Such a hoot being part of @glowupbbc and painted by the fantastic @nectaroon for @maccosmetics #vivaglam . Swipe for spoilers, the campaign and to find out what @trixiemattel really thinks of me...👀

Serving tea (cup) in @united #polaris. Big thank you to the crews, ground staff and London team for looking after me and the other half on our recent travels. The luxurious service made us feel proper famous for the day! Travel is an unavoidable necessity of our interconnected world. @united were the first US airline to invest in developing and testing more sustainable airline fuels. In 2020 they committed to attaining net zero by 2050. They are aiming to put less CO² into the atmosphere through a combination of fuel innovation, carbon capture and improvement of aircraft efficiency, thus avoiding less effective 'carbon offsetting' techniques. They acknowledge that they and the wider industry has a long way to go...fortunately they have some experience in the long haul, and I applaud their CEO for moving in the right direction! 🧥@lizziebiscuits

Pleased to see meaningful legal protection for kids happening in the US for a change... The Algorythm, distorter and accidental architect of our social reality, the unseen villain of our age. In collaboration with digital platforms designed to exploit our brains limbic systems, algorythmic technologies have the power to distract us, make us docile, enrage us and dose us with joy, all in service of a global attention economy. They have infiltrated every corner of our sociality, the ways we meet each other, communicate, organise politically, express our experiences and fall in love. They have transformed the realm of human social connection into an ever more exploitable marketing space, with devastating collateral effects. Polarisation of opinion, radicalisation (left and right), misinformation, the loss of context, democracy and nuance. They act upon our lives without ethical or moral compass, with the sole purpose of making us click, swipe and slide. We work to fuel them, listen to their whims and create without consideration of the consequences, and then bemoan their impact. The sad irony is that these technologies with better masters and greater regulation with could be redeployed to better serve humanity, create connection, encourage mature debate and amplify evidenced information. However until that day we are held in the shallow whims, subject to the lowest common denominator of our most basic dopamine driven impulses Unfiltered and unedited pic at the end to allow you to appreciate the work of: 📷@paradise 🧥@malonfashion
