I was working on Irn-Bru when their first Fanny advert landed, so couldn’t resist the new Xmas merch. It’s just as well I’m not going to my parents this year.

I have an elderly neighbour who loves me to pop by with the dog, but she sends pointless gifs from 6am to midnight every day. She’s also started forwarding every Google news article about the weather. I’m too polite to tell her to stop 🥴

I don’t know how anyone in London can feel festive with this mild winter weather. My heating hasn’t even come on yet. I won’t feel Christmassy until the grass is covered in frost.

I'd pay good money just to see her argument for these biscuits being "biologically male"

Just leaving these here without comment… Take whatever you want from them.

Skipping the work Christmas party because I did not sleep at all last night and feel awful, and not because I have somehow become our oldest employee and it just feels weird being around all those twinks.

this is whose reputation they're trying to whitewash www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/...

Does anyone use the NHS app to order repeat prescriptions? There is a notes field which must be filled in which seems pointless. I put in a dash just to get past this, but I always feel like it wants me to thank my GP or something.

New York friends mock London & British weather all the time but what is this. I’ve been sweating every time I take the dog out this week. I don’t think I’ve ever actually experienced it go as low as -6 here.

The Heron who spends his life staring into the gloomy ponds of Clapham Common might be my spirit animal

No surprise but Cat Burns is my top artist of the year. Her album is beautiful. But very surprised Tate and Addison are on there, I’m not sure I could name any of their songs. #AppleMusic

Beds that are made and have a row of cushions in front of the pillows. What’s that about? I’ve never understood it. Do people take them all off before getting into bed and then put them all back on once they’re up?

English kids never get to experience watching Danger Mouse - Donnie Murdo - in Scots Gaelic on days you were off school sick.

Farage is officially on the Naughty List 🎅 We're delivering a massive sack of coal straight to his front door this Christmas. But we need your help. £5 donation = 1 lump of coal in the sack 👇 https://goodlaw.social/59ea41

Pluribus had 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, then The Spectator does what it does and sucks the fun out of things

When I was a kid in the late 80s and early 90s I remember books would smell amazing. Like a really distinct earthy smell. I remember I used to open a big Secret Seven hardback omnibus and stick my nose right in between the pages. But new books have practically no scent. What happened?

“The ban on puberty blockers last year has left trans youth and their families feeling desperate and gives a message ‘you cannot be trans’. But of course we are trans regardless. The first thing these young people need to see and hear is that it’s ok to be who they are.” https://bit.ly/3LFSrzc

Yesterday I shared this interaction on my insta stories. I wanted cis het friends and family to see what we have to put up with, constantly. I was just explaining to my nail tech that as sad as it is, I’m kind of used to it & the only way I get through it is to be stronger than they think I am ❤️

Following our complaint, the charities regulator is investigating the rightwing lobby group Policy Exchange – first chaired by Michael Gove – because of its transphobic campaigns 👇 http://goodlawproject.org/charities-regulator-opens-case-against-policy-exchange

My Apple Music all-time top replay chart is… exactly what I’d expect. I got deeply obsess with Hamilton. And Years & Years. Some Grimes and Dua Lipa too which is wild, I barely listen to Dua now and haven’t loved anything Grimes has done since that album. Glad Sigrid sneaks in there though.

Watched an episode of Pluribus then The Beast in Me and realised both have main characters who happen to be authors who are lesbians. Means nothing of course, just thought it was interesting.

Missed an Evri delivery by ten minutes today, they left an M&S package on top of some builders rubble outside our building in a very busy area, during school lunch hour when the area is full of kids so of course it was gone by the time I could grab it 😮‍💨

Last nights Drag Race IK was in probably the best episode of the season so far, and one of my favourite family makeover challenges in the whole UK run. Totally fabulous.

Honestly terrifying that the BBC can run an unhinged story about lesbians being forced to have sex with trans women, with one of the main sources being a rapist who responded to the story's publication by calling for trans people to all be hung, and the Official Consensus is they are too pro-trans

A colleague yesterday commented that 'Adele is doing a movie! But directed by Tom Ford, a fashion designer, so I have low expectations'... He'd never heard of A Single Man?! The most beautiful, sensual gay love and loss story in years. And Nocturnal Animals was pretty decent too.

Guys do the music charts make sense anymore? It seems weird big artists can release albums and half the tracks become charting singles.

How many trans people have the BBC had on this week discussing the BBC's pro-trans bias? Zero.

Like the Guardian, people view the BBC as left wing and, as a result, their combined anti trans campaigning has done more damage to trans people than the entire right wing media machine, because they legitimised the right wing's lies.

I'm usually invested in media industry news but the entire BBC-Trump thing coulnd't interest me less. But the fact the leaked report suggested bias on Trans issues - but then it turns out it suggests the BBC is too PRO TRANS?! That just sums up how ridiculous it is.

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion. So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

Love love love this

I know PTs have to drum up business but this is bloody annoying and leads to me unfollowing. One message saying they’re open to talking fitness if I want is great but sending them over and over is tedious.

If only Debra Messing had posted ONE more story 🙏🏻

All's Fair blurred the line between absolutely awful and so-bad-its-good and I will be tuning in for the next episode.

Booked tickets to see Tilda Swinton in Man to Man at the Royal Court Theatre in a years time and they've just emailed me pdfs of the ticket. What kind of psychopath manages to keep emailed tickets findable for a year. I struggle to find digital receipts for stuff I bought a week ago 🫠

A couple of years ago my Facebook advertising account was banned because I linked to website that sold condoms. Today every flipping ad is for sex aids.

Just saw someone on Facebook getting wound up the Royal British Legion dares sell a Progress Pride Poppy, when on the very same store they have 76 football themed poppy pins for sale. And they're all on offer too, so you're not even donating the full cost 🫠

Whenever someone online says fireworks should be banned, people chime in with "It's just for one night!" and "It's just a bit of fun". They've been going off every night since the end of August here and it's fucking miserable for my dog, spending every night shivering in the hallway.

Can't tell you how excited I am to see Two Doors Down live in Glasgow next year 🤩 It was one of my 2020 lockdown discoveries that stopped me feeling quite so homesick trapped in London.

It is only a matter of time for Farage and co to join in and kick this off here

I made a comment about some friends thinking Riot Women was a comedy about menopausal woman starting a band and I've never had to many replies saying that's what other people had assumed too. it is absolutely not a comedy - it's a drama up there with Happy Valley. BBC have messed up the marketing.

It's going to be massively overshadowed given all the other new music out today, but Sigrid's new album is beautiful. her last two have both ended up being my most played albums of the year, and I know this one will be up there again.

When you pre-order books online, they arrive on publication date, or even a few days before (thanks Waterstones). But when you buy physical albums, they seem to only ever get dispatched on release date. You can stream everything, but it would be so nice to get vinyl delivered on release day.

This coffee-fine story doing the rounds today has baffled me - I though pouring a liquid into a bin would be worse, it's just going to make gross bin juice and spill over whoever is emptying. I'm always pouring coffee leftovers into drains before throwing the cup www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many ads online and on billboards across London for a new Apple TV launch so have for Down Cemetery Road. Very excited.

I don't think I'm ever going to get to see The Line of Beauty at the Almeida 😭

Millennials please tell me i’m not the only one who remembers this guy.

5 years ago I thought a dog would be so good for my social life, but I've got the only dog in London who HATES walking. Won't get up in the morning until I bribe her, won't go out in the evening incase there are fireworks and at lunchtime isn't keen on passing any dog bigger than herself.

Why are horror films so gay? A brilliant documentary by a colleague. youtu.be/dSE3LbbvfYY?...

How do I save episodes from iPlayer? I need to keep Tom’s Traitors shower scene for posterity.
