I was accidentally on the 'discover' feed - relieved to discover I'm not following someone posting 'protect her as your daughter, respect her as your mom' etc 🤢

#TheTraitorsUK needs more menopausal women bringing chaos! And everyone accuses them of being rude and aggressive - yeah, try it on with a menopausal woman and you know it, fuck you.

Everybody that's objecting to video podcasts is offering transcripts of their audio only ones for us deaf people, right? Video might have crappy captions but it's better than nothing.

Found what could be a relative of the Glastonbury thorn. Maybe Joseph visited Bedlington too 😂

Love this line "Many are calling it "super flu", but it is not more severe nor harder to treat."

I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't... www.tom-cox.com/the-village-...

Luckily, it was a nice day for a dog walk because I lost my door key and had to wait for my husband to come and let me in.

THREAD. A Deconstruction Of Ladybird's Well-Loved Tales Books, 1964-74. You will find the analysis of these beloved books in the alt text below. 1. The Gingerbread Boy.

The Minister for Equaliies replied to my MP asking about the supreme court ruling on Trans people. The last paragraph isn't bad - if they mean it.

Blue sky autumn is the best

Why 1.2 metres of cake? Why not 1 or 1.5M? #GBBO

But that's the whole thing about the monarchy, they could be a mass murderer and still be the monarch because of their birth! That's the main reason why the monarchy should be abolished.

This book is great - so creepy!

Videos without captions. I will be fucking everywhere, taunting deaf people.

Surely, it's more about who they think they can sell their products to? I'm deaf and noticed a while ago that Specsavers audiology ads eventually got subtitles. Presumably because they weren't selling hearing aids because deaf people couldn't hear the ads rather than them being inclusive.

Just went to look at my #revpit #10Queries entry and I seem to have left one of my beta reader's comments in - oops!

Menopausal potionista, Cass, needs a job–magic costs are sky-high. Petsitting her cousin’s wyverns sounds easy–but she's embroiled in murder, race fixing, and her teen son’s kidnap. Hot flush-powered rage saves her job and her son. For fans of Kim Watts’ Beaufort Scales. #DVpit #A #F #Mys #Dis

No one gets power over me - I haven't got a middle name

How can it be 'tokenistic' to have representatives of 51% of the population FFS?

3. ⁠this is not the moment for an incredibly expensive increase in state surveillance infrastructure to be run for profit by private tech firms just before Labour ushers in an (even more) authoritarian right wing government. FIX THE GODDAMN COST OF LIVING INSTEAD YOU FREAKS.

Yes, having tests will definitely make kids more keen on reading FFS. Providing money for school libraries and allowing more time for reading in class would be far more effective. But if kids read more they might think for themselves. Can't have that.

My diet of warfarin probably adds a few decades tbh

The Reform party conference is in full swing. It'd be a pity if they suddenly got thousands of emails asking them to stop pushing toxic narratives 👀 Email Reform 👇 https://action.goodlawproject.org/tell-reform-stop-exploiting-women%E2%80%99s-safety-fuel-attacks-migrants

The Labour playbook is basically do the authoritarian fascism but shaking your head the whole time to show you dont agree with it

Labour are being racist and paving the way for fascism. Pretty sure they don't have morals. They are grown ups.

Trying to get my 90 year old Dad to take his coat off in 25C heat earlier, and waiting for my teen to come back from an epic trip up Ben Nevis with my brother today - definitely feeling like a stroppy teenager

This book is so cute!

This sounds amazing!

Every UK petition is like this

What can these mystery words be? Does anyone wonder what f*ck means? Even a 10 year old can tell you that it's fuck

Staying with my Nan who had no bathroom and only an outside toilet.

There are many British commentators who have made several posts showing deep concern for Rachel Reeves over the last 24 hours but apparently lost their phones whilst hundreds of thousands of disabled people were terrified of losing the benefits they need to live.

If you're not celebrating Disability Pride Month this year, just remember that you will, eventually.

Can someone tell the Israeli embassy that we are "deeply disturbed" by its genocide and the best way to stem increasing anti Israeli sentiment to stop murdering innocent Brown people.

Needed to change my hearing aid battery at warfarin time - I had to triple check I put the battery in the hearing aid rather than a warfarin pill! #chronicillness #deaf #brainfog

One of the more terrible things Starmer has done - made me support the king

I am indeterminate sex, and so is my son. My husband is female 🤣

WTF? They'd better change this in the next 3 years (yes, I am 57)

My husband followed the Dirk Gently method of navigation by following the car in front of you. You might not get to where you wanted to go but did get to where you needed to go. He still ignores the satnav to do this sometimes

Just got a FB ad for AI beta readers. FFS get a human!

Intersectional feminists know that trans people are just a wedge issue for the patriarchal forces trying to push back abortion rights, gay rights, assisted dying and the emancipation of women and people of colour. We stand together or fall apart. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

After due consideration, having weighed up the relevant evidence, assessed the balance of arguments and gamed the likely implications, I have reached the conclusion that Keir Starmer can fuck off from a great height.

The Green Party don’t get as much media coverage as Reform because the continuation of civilised human life on the planet isn’t as interesting as cunts.
