attention seeking x

No 10 aggressively briefing against Andy Burnham is so funny. How much do you have to have fucked up to have a landslide majority in government and be spooked by someone who currently isn’t even eligible to challenge you 😭

This is not born of concern for women. It is pure unadulterated hatred of trans women and men. May he rot in hell.

Have we ever found out what the hell this is for yet? #PokemonTCGP

Looking at my social calendar over the next 8 weeks is exhausting me

Podcast suggestions for the gym - go!

What a lovely crisp autumn morning 😌

day drinking on a Sunday can surely only end well

Here’s the truth: Twitter no longer exists. X is something else entirely. It’s a megaphone for extremism, controlled by a deranged oligarch who has declared his hostility to sane, democratic politics. writesbright.substack.com/p/why-you-sh...

Not a Lib Dem voter but the BBC News channel just announced the start of the LD conference then went straight on to Reform having held their conference earlier. Then an explanation that polls show Reform would win a general election with graphs and a diagram of the House of Commons chamber. What?

Watched the new Nosferatu last night. I hadn’t actually seen Nosferaone, but it didn’t seem to matter.

It’s 18:13 on a Saturday and I’m falling asleep on the sofa

finally recovering some of the progress I lost over August when I was injured

Have an urge to get something pierced

Canal Street, Manchester, 1963 (Manchester Libraries).

Hosted my first ever dinner party last night. It started off very sophisticated with champagne and discussions about a recent High Court judgment. By the time dessert was served my guests were asking Alexa to fart. All in all a great success.

Everyone say goodnight to Louie

finally recovering some of the progress I lost over August when I was injured

'I'd like to stand for Reform please.' 'What are your qualifications?' 'I'm a gobby attention seeker who is energised by other people's misery.' 'You're in.'

woke up at 6:30am to go to the gym and was greeted at the gym by this 😭

Need to stop lowering myself onto the gym bench for a bench press by straddling it like I’m about to give it a lap dance in my slutty little gym shorts

House fell apart again. Cost me £400. Don’t buy a 100 year old house kids.

That desperate housewives podcast with Teri Hatcher and her daughter looks fucking abysmal

It has officially been 14 years since I moved to Manchester for uni. My ever loving mother told me she reckoned I’d be home by Christmas. To that, I once again say: 🖕🏻 (Yes I’m bringing my annual post over from twitter, sorry to people who are sick of me)

should probably stop pissing about and finish getting ready for work

Appreciate it’s still stormy outside but having to turn the light on to have my morning shower when it’s only mid-September is unsettling

A misogynist and homophobe defects to reform? Colour me shocked etc.

I spent much of yesterday at the Tommy Robinson march. I couldn’t find a way to write about it that didn’t sound contentious and maybe even condescending – so I didn’t try. www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-t...

Sky News says police are "overwhelmed by the numbers". Met coped perfectly well with 2x as many at the pro-Gaza rally, 5x as many at the anti-Brexit march, and 15x as many at London Pride. They're not overwhelmed by the numbers. They're overwhelmed by the ratio of violent thugs in those numbers.

Also bars that are doing 2 for 1 cocktails should have a bartender dedicated to just doing pints

Gen Z’ers forming queues at bars will be my 13th reason

More than 100,000 people went on the trans rights march in London in July and it did not get the same level of rolling coverage

That three major British newspapers jumped on the poorly sourced (ATF to Steven Crowder to WSJ) line about the bullets having ‘trans’ symbols (actually a, wait for it, Helldivers 2 code) is such a tell on what they really care about. They really need to apologise (they won’t)

I may be 34 in 6 weeks but apparently I’ve still got perfect eyesight so clearly I am beyond aging

off out again it would seem

This mii game is ... terrifying

I’m so happy that it’s cold at night again I won’t lie

Is she playing the author?

Oops I slipped and bought tickets for abba voyage for my birthday

good morning I am running late

He’s trolling us, right? He must be.

Went a bit mad when mancscaping and not gonna lie it’s gonna look like a sundial at noon

3 Years 🤍

Can’t believe I’ve been married for 3 years

🚨 BREAKING | 1,339 people have now been arrested on "terrorism" charges in 2025, with almost all of them busted for holding signs at pro-Palestine protests. This is more than any year on record, by far. (Source: Home Office)

Ahh. This time 3 years ago, after congratulating myself on how organised I was earlier, I was frantically ringing my wedding venue/registrar to ask if weddings could still go ahead during national mourning. Nobody knew and it took 2 hours for anyone to work it out. I’ve never known stress like it 😭

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

It might be time for the velvetiser to come out of the cupboard for the year

oh my

Asked Reform about whether it can possibly be appropriate to have a doctor spreading misinformation about vaccines and the Royal Family speaking from their conference stage. Their representative didn’t resile from it. A bit of our exchange below.
