Petition to ban Christmas until I personally have retired from teaching

I challenge you to think of one thing you would less like to do

Shoutout to the teachers, the unsung heroes laying the groundwork for this counteroffensive for months

epic will pay for every game that gets claimed this way so yes, you are still giving money to rowling (and by extension an international campaign against trans people) by claiming this there are other, better franchises - let this one go

Petition to go back to calling food ‘nice’ instead of ‘good’

📢 NION Women Statement on trans women and girls being excluded from Girlguiding and the Women's Institute. We are deeply saddened that both Girlguiding and @womensinstitute.bsky.social have been placed under pressure that has resulted in trans women and girls being excluded from their organisations

*sigh* Another day, another British bullshit

Can you lovely lot song and share this around please @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social www.change.org/p/allow-tran...

Right, I have decided. I am going to enjoy Christmas this year. Not going to let fear of right-wing relatives sap my festive spirit. So each day I’m going to post something nice and festive. Let’s… MAKE THE YULETIDE GAY!

Your seasonal reminder not to be a dick to retail or service workers at Christmas. Or any time, really. Maybe just don’t be a dick to anyone ever, that should cover it

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Got in last night and hung my trousers up instead of putting them in the washing pile, and now I feel sad that I missed out on the Friday night joy of putting my trousers in the washing pile instead of having to hang them up

I've never directly called Farage a prick but I can assure you I think he's a prick www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Weird the way the entire world went mad and only the creator of the IT Crowd was unaffected.

This is the best bit of advice I’ve seen on the internet 😂

I miss looking forward to Christmas. Wrote this last year and I’m not feeling all that different this year.

Just snort-laughed at this on the bus

There are plenty of links between the anti-trans “women’s rights” movement & anti-feminist conservatism. And opposing abortion is a logical conclusion for a movement that says no, you should not have agency over your own body; no, you do not know best about yourself; no, you have no choice.

whoever selected the photos for this article deserves an award for photo selection, this is peak photo selection, unsurpassable perfection, all other photo selector people can just get their coats and go home because this selection will never be bettered

Okay

In these busiest shopping weeks of the year, with everyone under horrible pressure over money, job security etc, try to be nice to retail staff (who likely have unreasonable sales targets from HQ to make up for a lousy retail year). Far too many stressed customers will behave appallingly right now.

Just gotta say as a trans person who gets death threats couched as "jokes", I'm glad that the rules are being applied this way. When mods are left to make subjective decisions about who is joking and who isn't, threats against marginalized ppl go unmoderated and we are told they dont violate the TOS

Just cried for the first time in ages. I’m tired and a minor setback at work just opened up a trapdoor underneath me and suddenly all of the horrors of the world and the pointlessness of it all got too much. I’m fine (and the crying helped) but it was a shock how much hurt I was suddenly exposed to

Just swiped left on someone solely for using the word “scran” in their biography #standards

I know it’s not the most pressing issue of the day but stop calling recipes “marry me stew” or whatever, just pack it in you clingy bastards

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

We're pleased that the loathsome comments carried by GB News, which equated being LGBT+ with being a paedophile, have been found in breach of the Ofcom code, following 71,000 complaints collected by @goodlawproject.bsky.social. pressgazette.co.uk/the-wire/new...

Tom Ravenscroft’s brilliant podcast ‘The Sheds at Peel Acres’ - where he plays records from his dad John Peel’s ginormous record collection - now has 100 Patreon subscribers, but really deserves many many more. Spread the word and, if you can afford the £4 a month, consider becoming a supporter

The world needs good LGBTQ+ representation right now, and this show did it so well. Really sad news 😔 www.avclub.com/fox-cancels-...

All the others are busy doing their actual fucking jobs

Can no one see what’s happening here?

Fuck me, you can FEEL the full-on spiteful joy with which they typed this headline

After a less than encouraging day I have realised this evening that I’m now older than Hank Hill, thanks universe

Emma Watson: Friends don’t have to agree on everything ☺️ JK Rowling (vein in forehead throbbing so hard it tricks facial recognition software): When you flatline in your hospital bed, I will hear it no matter where I am and writhe in sexual ecstasy

Am I online too much or is everything genuinely really shit

Now would be a good time to turn off the internet, read a book, listen to the rain, swim in a river, eat a jar of peanut butter, take up heroin

let me tell you this: margaret thatcher would not have stood by peter mandelson for being friends with jeffrey epstein! she would have befriended epstein *herself*, had home over to christmas dinner several times, and knighted him against official advice!

this is called "doing a streeting" which is to position yourself firmly on the wrong side of an issue for no reason and to no one's benefit

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Just walked past a group of vaping teenagers. Only one of them, just ONE, had the decency to smoke a real cigarette. A good man who will go on to do great things
