Gwae fi fy myw mewn oes mor ddreng, A Duw ar drai ar orwel pell; O'i ôl mae dyn, yn deyrn a gwreng, Yn codi ei awdurdod hell.

Nope, me too…

Share transphobic posts, you get unfollowed. Trans men are men. Trans women are women. It's not difficult.

Getting pissed off now... New House had phone line and broadband up until previous owner's demise. I am now trying to sign up for phone line and broadband but no provider is able to provide said service because there is no line. And not one can do a new connection. So no phone or broadband pour moi.

This evening, I shall mostly be: > making chilli for tomorrow > packing yet more things (mostly clothes) > taking said clothes to #NewHouse > where I shall sort them > deciding what to take with me to Manchesterfordshire at the weekend > selling a kidney. Thank you for your attention to this matter

This is the type of honour that I can get behind. And seriously hope someone with direct knowledge of events has already submitted the application...

Thank fuck for that...

Farage just gave a press conference, and claimed that the red tape on businesses has risen since Brexit. You know what? He's right. But he's wrong about the reason! It's not because Brexit was done badly. It's because Brexit guarantees more bureaucracy because we have to duplicate EU institutions.

Want to know why the prisons system seems to be suddenly falling apart? Well, it's not sudden. It's just suddenly being REPORTED. This rot was a deliberate policy choice, and I kept the receipts. Because I'm not the BBC. (A note on what Tories did to cause this, from The Decade In Tory)

36 years ago, almost to the hour, the Berlin Wall fell, probably one of the most significant events in modern history that changed Europe forever. I remember it happening, but the 10 year old me didn’t understand the significance.

Tonight on the Bear Cave menu (top table only): braised pork with chestnuts, roasted potatoes, parsnips, kale. Lower tables: braised spam without chestnuts. Vegetarian/vegan option: potato peelings with chestnut shells. Scraps & scrapings that get past Bailey available at the cave mouth as usual.

Smirk 😏 #parsnip #wonkyveg

Funny that…

Tonight on the Bear Cave menu (top table only): paprikás csirke with Spätzle. Lower tables: Corned beef with Spätzle, but without the Spätzle. Vegetarian/vegan option: There is no vegetarian/vegan option. Scraps and scrapings that get past Bailey available at the cave mouth as usual.

If you're in York, head down to St Helens Square for 1200 🚨TODAY 🚨 to join a big pro-trans rally. Get your raincoats on, get out and get loud - we'll be there, it would be great to see you there too! 💚🏳️‍⚧️

Even I thought this was one of mine!

60% of the British public agree: our voting system is not fit for purpose. The upcoming Elections Bill is a chance to fix it. I just signed a @makevotesmatter.bsky.social petition to the Democracy Minister, calling for Proportional Representation. Add your name: actionnetwork.org/petitions/pe...

Sorry I’m late. I had to scroll to my birth year on an app.

Where’s your fuckin’ poppy?

Which one is more English?

Important Public Service Announcement!

It was the fuse. But of course, ALL gas cookers have a battery so it CAN'T be the fuse. Sometimes people accuse me of being smug. Which is true, I can be. When people expend so much energy telling me I'm wrong, it is beautifully sweet when it turns out I was right all along.

Turns out there’s a boatyard do this evening. Everyone’s been invited. I’ve not even been told about it.

WHY THE FUCK IS EVERYTHING SO FUCKING DIFFICULT! Taken 10 mins to go round & round in circles on website to find phone number. Ring it, we didn't recognise your number, enter the number on your account. I DON'T HAVE A FUCKING ACCOUNT! I'VE RUNG THE NEW ACCOUNT NUMBER OFF YOUR FUCKING WEBSITE. TWATS

Gas cooker. Plugged to mains electricity. Oven lit fine earlier, 40 minutes later no spark and no oven light. I think we electrician. Reasoning: light would need mains. If spark was on battery, why is neither working. It could have mains for light and battery for spark. But why would you?

Looks like the good burghers of Lancashire got what they voted for. And it's not as if they weren't warned. Thoughts and prayers.

Ffs, they’re not even trying to appear competent…

Bloody Muslim immigrants coming over here being heroes! And I seriously hope someone from LNER/BTP or with first hand knowledge of events nominates him (and the others who went out of their way to protect others) for a gallantry award.

Thoughts and prayers #SamirZitouni

The head of security at the Louvre

He must be gutted! I mean, that’s cut off a valuable grift for the pathetic little creature…

A lighthearted but accurate and deeply depressing take on how the BBC push Farage and Reform at every opportunity.

Earlier today we published the Ringways Map, in collaboration with @maps.sabre-roads.org.uk. We are beyond excited to finally put it online - below is a thread explaining why it's so special, but to see it for yourself just follow the link: www.sabre-roads.org.uk/maps/index.p... 🧵

Kiosk sales, balanced. To the penny. After only 3 small adjustments. Gint would be proud. And Brunt won’t be happy. Ah well.

Yesterday, one of my posts took off. Relatively speaking. Rarely do I get more than a dozen interactions, and then generally only on replies to other people’s posts. Usually it’s single digits. If any. Given the topic though, I’d rather I didn’t have cause to post what I posted.

I know someone else like this…

I've seen comments along the lines of why did the police not shoot the perpetrators of the #Huntingdon atrocity, because it's cheaper to kill them straight away than keep them 50 in gaol. Turns out, that may not have been a good idea...

Won’t anyone think of the rich people…

Still could be worse, could have had a woman of colour in charge instead

Tonight on the Bear Cave menu (top table only): chicken risotto. Lower tables: Bernard Matthews turkey drivers. Vegetarian/vegan option: rice dust. Scraps and scrapings that get past Bailey available at the cave mouth as usual.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK... 78% are murdered by a partner/ex Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety In fact, they voted against them...

Any day now…

Daily Mail being disingenuous? Never, don't believe it...

Oops...

Awkward for Zia Yusuf, who keeps being sent out to lie as cover for the Reform UK leader Who did Nigel Farage have lunch with after resigning as UKIP leader 4 July 2016? Why, it's Russian bribe enthusiast Nathan Gill, who then did the important news briefing on his behalf (to Russia Today) #BBCQT

Tonight’s second feature presentation… #FryingTonight

"It is up to us, a new generation, to carry our European flag with pride. We are a beacon of freedom and human dignity in a world on fire. Europe is the most beautiful place on earth" Rob Jetten, incoming Dutch PM, is a national leader speaking as a European; let’s hope he will also act as such

Inspiration needed for this evenings televisual entertainment. These are the options. You have the 15 minutes it’ll take me to wash up and shower to make your suggestions. And go…

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once...
