You know that thing fascists are doing by ordering Charlie Kirk's Starbucks order and then giving their name as "I am Charlie Kirk"? It turns out his order was mint tea & honey, the thing I tell patients to drink to soothe voice disorders Terrifyingly - I legit could have fixed him

"You don't understand he's totally different when we're alone at home, he's actually really shy"-ass post

JUST ONE MORE SHIFT TO THE RIGHT BRO JUST ONE MORE SHIFT TO THE RIGHT BRO JUST ONE MORE SHIFT TO THE RIGHT BRO JUST ONE MORE SHIFT TO THE RIGHT BRO I SWEAR BRO JUST ONE MORE, I SWEA

*looks at the headlines while queuing at the shop* We really are a vile little island aren't we?

PERRY THE WOMAN!?!?!

Fun fact - my Irish birth certificate lists me as "F". Under the CTA that document is as valid as a UK birth certificate. There is no consistent way to apply this guidance to me

Reddit is an interesting place

Hello. I am a hero in an action movie. I've been knocked out, which has just been like a little nap for me to pass time. I never have additional head trauma, and don't show any signs of concussion or brain damage. I'm walking around fine a minute after opening my eyes.

In honour of the biggest trans pride in history, here's some of my favourite signs:

Average r/transgenderuk post: "[Bad News] Keir Starmer makes it legal to hunt trans people for sport" Average r/transireland post: "All the girl names I like are my cousins' names"

University? Completed it mate

How tf are any of youse medically transitioning? I cannot budget this shit

If this was the average labour announcement and not "Kier Starmer declares the UK's continued support for the organ blending machine" we'd be in a much better position

By the end of the year it's going to be de the default to refuse people like me service if it upsets a transphobe I don't think trans people, collectively deserve this. But I keep feeling they wouldn't be winning cases and support of they weren't right on some level. That I actually am the problem.

I do look at that man and think "goodness he's hard"

I don't often get deadnamed. I frequently get "Clara"ed

Transing your gender as an Irish person living in the UK is wild because the Republic not only recognises you but also gets your name right 100% of the time, while the UK can be distracted from how much they want you dead by presenting them with too many vowels

RIP in peace @samfromwendover.bsky.social

in 1989 a British man, Tim Berners-Lee, invented the World Wide Web. it is now commonly accepted to have been a grave error of judgement. truly, he is one of History's Greatest Monsters.

Misgivings about big pride aside, it was notable that the front of the parade was a trans flag. At least there's some awareness there

Predictably they're more upset about being banned from pride than they are about the SC ruling out the PB ban

My "My comments are nothing like Enoch Powell" T shirt is raising a lot of questions answered by the T shirt

It's amazing how Labour learned nothing from what happened to the democrats last year

It's wild how Labour just had no vision whatsoever with getting into power. Real "we want to win the election... Because reasons" energy

You know, given we're communication specialists I feel like we could have used 600 odd words to actually say something of substance www.rcslt.org/news/underst...

The UK in the spring/summer would be a nice place if it weren't trying to erase me from existence

Absolutely disgusting. When people ask what we're protesting, it's this

CW: Keir Starmer

A unique form of torture where people from other countries can be forced to look at England

You should boo Labour at pride btw

REALLY not looking forward to coming back to the UK tomorrow NGL

The feminine urge to try to renovate this abandoned building on an island into a hotel, shortly before being knocked up by one of 3 men

Humanity saw views like this and somehow still decided to invent England anyway

RCSLT's podcast series on AI has been legitimately fascinating. A small peak into the world in the 5 minutes between AI going public and AI being the latest weapon in class warfare

It's Cherry Blossom season baby!

People who don't move at my specific pace at the very least simply shouldn't be allowed to use the airport

"Do you even INDEX MATCH bro?"

This being said, travelling with checked luggage sucks. My next trip after this is a one bag trip and I cannot wait

Birmingham Airport is brilliant, y'all just can't see it

For the record, I do actually blame America, as a whole, for all of this

The fact that the Beryl bikes app doesn't let you change the email address on your account combined with the fact it requires a phone number confirmation and you can only have one account per phone number has been a significant annoyance this morning

None of my lecturers follow me here so I can be a little bit more gloves-off about how the last few years went down

Right wing views break my brain a little bit. Recently I've seen "moderates" complaining about people with allergies, and that they very occasionally can't eat nuts on a flight. I genuinely don't know how you get to a place in life where someone else's allergy winds you up so much.

In the alternate universe where I wound up getting married, I hired a magician called Michael for my Hen party, so that I could entice guests in with the promise of seeing Magic Mike, only to truly spellbind them with top-notch illusions

The decision to not build a proper metro for Birmingham might be one of the most ridiculous urban planning moves in British history.

In case you're wondering how speaking French for the first time in years is going: Me: *orders at a cafe in French* Barista, who clocked the last two English speakers: "Voulez-vous du sucre dans votre café?" Me, very Spanishly: "Ay no"
