Speaking as a former food service professional, this is deeply misleading. You need SOME salt, like a 70/30 mix of concrete to salt is perfect

Scunthorpe are playing Clitheroe in the FA Trophy and I feel like we should get @vaginamuseum.bsky.social to be the match sponsor or something

"It's racist to use Arabic words. You're in Britain so you should speak English" a definite racism understander speaks

Would it be funny to get one of those surveillance elves and nail it to a fence through its neck and just leave it there for people to wonder what the hell happened?

"Find your friends" good idea, I'll do that "import your contacts" no fuck off

Dear media, you do not actually have to report on every senile brain dropping he blurts out. You can try using some judgment to figure out which ones are actually important

Apparently xCLP has friends who think she's judging them for being promiscuous and she's like "You're not even as promiscuous as my mum"

Not saying I'm obsessive about 8-fold snowflakes but xCLP just messaged me to assure me that EMR coffee cups have the proper 6-fold design

xCLP is here and she played Merry Christmas (War is Over) Me: now we should have Paul so he doesn't feel left out xCLP: what? Me: Wonderful Christmas Time xCLP: that's Paul McCartney?!?

If Sunderland don't chant "Brobbey Brobbey Brobbey" in honour of Brian Brobbey I am deeply disappointed

Me: I have herpes Grindr bloke: damn, how did you get that Sir, it is sexually transmitted and I'm on a sex app. Take a wild guess

It must be weird being a soft transphobe these days because you say something you think is sensible like "trans people can use the disabled toilet" and the rabid transphobes go "trans people don't exist and any that try should be immediately locked up"

Some cunt with an Israel flag in his display name thinks it's inaccurate to say trans people are being banned from all gendered spaces because most trans people don't pass. I don't know what I expected

At what point do you just give up calling it the 1806 and admit it will never arrive before 1810?

The closest human equivalent is probably periods, so it would be like if you left tampons stained with red ink in someone's house and it made them come on

Good morning, I missed the bus because I was five seconds late and the driver refused to wait. I wanted to spend the hour until the next bus in Costa but the barista misheard me and sold me a less cheerful drink than the one I was trying to order

It comes back to the asymmetry, that "woman" is considered degrading and can be used to punish anyone but "man" is high status and a reward that is carefully gatekept

If I follow all the advice and it somehow works and I survive Christmas, my reward is Boxing Day and I have to say it hardly seems worth it :-/

Boss: I can lift this armchair on my own Me: oh that's right, you show off that you have functioning bollocks Boss: I was actually going to lift with my arms Boss: it's a lot easier

Love to put ClassicFM on for some carols while I wash up and hear a film score that doesn't think I should be allowed to pee 😡

No, see, if he didn't have ChatGPT to ask, he might have to listen to ... A WOMAN

Autocorrect doesn't recognise "terf" and keeps changing it to "term". Trans Exclusionary Radical MRA?

If you're worried the average cis person won't know what a trans woman is, even something like "man who transitioned to a woman" is better than "biological male who identifies as a woman"

Jesus, looking down on earth during the Christmas season: oh Dad, so many embarrassing baby pictures, I can't!

On Saturday I witnessed a particularly appalling refereeing decision, or rather non-decision. A Tamworth defender very obviously used his hand to block a shot on the goal line, which should have resulted in him being sent off and Scunthorpe being awarded a penalty. The referee did nothing

My favourite would probably be The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club. The most culturally significant is also worth mentioning though: Steamboat Willy

Transphobe: trans people should just use the toilet of their actual sex Me: trans people who have medically transitioned are also banned from those Transphobe: *irrelevant rant about how medical transition is mutilation* I'd say they aren't sending their best except that I rather fear they are

I went to a work social on Friday, drank more than was wise, and asked two of my also drunk fellow volunteers if they thought I'd look good with a soul patch. They didn't say no...

Christians: the central figure of our religion was born in poverty, lived simply, and was arrested and executed by a repressive state Far right: we hate the poor and think anyone who gets arrested deserves it, but we will still pretend we love this guy

Boreham Wood beating Newport hardly counts as an upset because there's only 5 places difference between them #football

I've invented a new depression meal. Couscous, pesto, and creme fraiche. Eat it from the pan to save washing a plate

"It's the most wonderful time of the year" Maybe in Australia...

Fluffy: I thought the referee was not as bad as some we've had this season Me: he missed the most blatant handball on the line that I have ever seen Fluffy: but apart from that one decision Me: it's kind of a "you fuck one goat" situation #football

I'm in Wetherspoons Grantham (table 24 in case you can still do that thing of sending drinks)

[Redacted to avoid a TOS violation]

Fellow volunteer was doing a recall check on a Hoover vacuum cleaner Him: what brand is it? Me: Hoover Him: what brand? Me: ...Hoover Me: were you not aware that Hoover was a brand before it was a generic word?

Team Frosty or Team Olaf?

Here's a cool thing you can do if you don't understand why people are upset about something: you can read what they're saying about why they're upset and you can refrain from saying anything until you've finished reading

Do neurotypical people feel validated when someone says words in reply to what they said, even if the words are a cliché with no relevance to their situation?

Wait, Chip The Glasses And Crack The Plates is a sonnet?

"Imagine if gee cees used their resources to solve a real problem" they don't want to solve real problems, they just want to hurt trans women. That's why they're gee cees

When a bloke messages me on Grindr and uses a kind of femme pet name for me, in a way it's a relief because he's not thinking I'm a cis man and storing up transphobia for when he finds out

Just got an advert for some weight loss thing where the before picture looks perfectly normal and the after looks frighteningly skinny. What is this world?

Snapchat bloke: why are you banned from the showers? Me: can't use the women's because I'm a man. Can't use the men's because I have tits SB: you'd think they could sort that in this day and age Aw bless. You must be new

When I was being interviewed about The Incident, my solicitor said I should make no comment to a particular question. So I literally said "on the advice of my solicitor, no comment." Felt weird, but the officer didn't ask further so win?

Some fucking 18 year old just messaged me saying he has no limits and I'm coming across like a dad telling him that's an unhealthy attitude to have

CPN asked me what would make me happy and it feels like if I could answer that I wouldn't be in quite such a bad state

Tonight on Grindr: one dipshit who allegedly can't find my address and one arsehole I've been with before who wants to argue about the words I use for my genitals

Isn't it funny how "happy" can mean joyful, but it can also mean not minding

Sanes apparently have two responses to unpleasant things: "Pretend it isn't true" and "Pretend it doesn't matter"
