Growing up in NE Fife I understood that my dad’s family were all teuchters from the north, & that my grandparents moved down to FIfe in later life. Turns out that my granny had ancestors from here - today I found my great great great great grandparents’ grave in Cupar: where I went to high school.

Fucking hell, #Tiptoe was bleak.

Remember as Tony Blair gets up to say we need to do more oil and gas drilling that we actually have more solar manufacturing capacity than we are using, in the middle of an energy crisis. Capitalism is not rational and its apologists will never see the light of heaven.

Man, all these stories about Anthony Head...it reminds me of when George Michael, Ray Liotta and Burt Reynolds died and there were endless personal stories from people who had wonderful experiences knowing them. Just anecdote after anecdote about top guys. RIP to another good one x

"won't someone think about the white people??" was absolutely on my 2026 bingo card btw

Big mad racists, pointing at anything and saying: "this is the fault of you trying to stop racism." The press: "have the big mad racists got a point?"

I see only a very good boy 🤷🏽‍♂️

Sesame Street posted, “Happy Pride” and conservatives lost their minds (again) over a photo of different colors of fabric. 🙄

It's incredibly dire that @kezdugdale.bsky.social did everything she could to bow to the anti-trans lobby and it still wasn't enough. Sacrificing your siblings didn't work and now it's a real possibility that you Kezia Dugdale might be the last chair of Stonewall.

Happy 3rd of June to all who celebrate. Pass the biscuits, please.

White nationalism is on the rise in this country, and it is being openly peddled by politicians who are now considered mainstream

So so so so so bad that this stuff is now something mainstream politicians feel comfortable saying.

One of the best things about being alive is that there are dogs. Remember, if you're having a tough time, there are dogs.

This is foul

Happy Pride Month from Labour! Enjoy a generational rollback of LGBT Rights making us the least LGBT friendly nation in Western Europe! 🌹🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈

Both of which happen to be the same positions as Reform UK's. Why would anyone who doesn't care about either the living planet or distributional fairness vote for Streeting, rather than Farage? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Mind when Tony Blair sorted out the Middle East? Simpler times.

Twin Peaks: The Waiter, ‘Señor Droolcup’, giving Cooper the thumbs-up.

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

For the record: if music sounds good to your ears then it's good music. Stop letting people tell you otherwise.

Anas Sarwar has appointed Carol Mochan, who called the recent EHRC guidance which deeply harms trans people's ability to participate in society "a victory for basic common sense", as Scottish Labour's equality spokesperson. Scottish Labour continues to betray its LGBT rights supporting membership.

⚠️ Weather stations in London today recorded highs of 35.1°C, a new May record for the UK. Such extreme heat represents a serious threat to health. Modelling by @gkonstantinoudis.bsky.social estimates that we could see 250+ additional deaths during this heatwave in England and Wales. 🧵[1/6]

Record-breaking heat in May and we’re still treating it like a novelty weather segment rather than a stress test for housing, transport, and an underprepared city. Britain keeps being surprised by things it’s already been warned about.

Is it some sort of record to have every front-page story an example of misogyny?

a lot of people really do say ‘twink’ because they’re not allowed to say ‘faggot’ any more

At the Whangie? 😖

Did a yellowhammer tweet this?

I’d have preferred they reworded the Beastie Boys ‘fight for your right to party’, but we can’t all be comms geniusiuses 🤷🏽‍♂️

Me in my Blue Rose, sorry *Bluesky* bubble …

There are no circumstances where you need to give credit and respect to Cherry.

Woman, 86, shoved headfirst into wheelie bin by man who thought she was trans Typical of the Anti Trans violent thugs metro.co.uk/2023/05/25/i...

Put all the purchases from the SNP fraud case in a museum and call it the Murrell Collection

I think we're just one step away from calling trans women "degenerates" being completely normalised in the UK.

Aw no. Wee love will just have to get back to his Instagram account

"Sharks are competing with the fishermen" Well, no. It’s the other way around. Tough luck, mate!
