what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

When a cop murdered my big brother at a road block 21 years ago, their post-facto justification was that he tried to run over a cop. His foot released the brake after the officer shot him in the chest, and the car bumped an officer.

hahahaahahah subway have come out with a new sandwich for veganuary!!! it’s falafel

he got scared away by another squirrel before i could get a picture or a video so you’ll just have to believe me when i tell you i saw a squirrel earlier that was basically spherical

diva down :(

i’m not crying you’re crying!

going to see my friend today!!!!! going to PUT ON A T-SHIRT!!

Long shot, but does anyone know of any UK triathlon competitions that don't have exclusionary gender politics? The one I raced with two years ago seems to have fallen into line with British Triathlon.

grab your beverage of choice and caramelize some onions for two or so hours. you’ll feel better

To my understanding, in a lot of places the recommendation extends to even if a bat is in the room with you.

Glasgow-ish folks: don’t let the rain fool you, there’s tons of black ice around because of it.

Just checking with how Starmer's crusade to ban apps that produce deep fakes is going

I'll never understand how working class "gender critical" activists, who are struggling to get by due to a deliberate widening of the gap between the wealthy and the poor, have been convinced that a billionaire smugly smoking a cigar on a superyacht has a keen interest in making their lives better.

reminder again that i spent almost three years not changing my name at the bank of scotland bc the website says it needs a statutory declaration which has to be signed by a judge and that was too much faff, but i eventually did it and took it to BoS who were like?? what’s this where’s your deed poll

the only part of changing your name in the UK that will cost you any money is renewing your passport, which costs money anyway. literally just go to freedeedpoll.org and show it to any institutions that need proof of a name change (you may have to be a bit insistent about it)

ENRAGED by Taskmaster spreading misinformation about changing your name. CHANGING YOUR NAME IN THE UK IS FREE. IT IS FREE. ANY COMPANY PURPOTING TO DO IT "OFFICIALLY" FOR A FEE IS A SCAM. you can change your name in the UK FOR FREE and you can do it as many times as you want.

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

bc of The Times i’ve mostly been in big bulky layers since surgery, but earlier i was just wearing one long sleeved top bc i was cooking and it was hot, and i looked down expecting to hate everything about the experience, and i DID NOT. because it was FLAT.

I also want to remind you that the leading cause of death post partum in the UK is suicide. One question, in a tiny clinical space without a chair, in a rush “how’s your mood?” Luckily I have my existing MH supports. And they wonder why the birth rate is dropping. /7

I just had the most horrible experience with my postpartum health check. The GP was running an hour late. My baby was exhausted and screaming. I had to stand up in a tiny clinical room and got asked 3 questions. “How is the baby?” “Are you breastfeeding?” “What’s your mood like?” That was it. 1/

pleased to announce i’ve just opened my third jar of cranberry sauce in… eleven days

Martin Freeman: a smug, sneering, snarky git too many people read as "cute, funny British guy" rather than as "sanctimonious, mean-spirited prick". Many such cases! And ofc a guy who jokes about rape and marries a TERF is going to bung swivel-eyed bigoted weirdo Graham Linehan £2000.

If you're even a little bit sceptical about whether these are worth it, take 2 minutes to read the replies and quotes! If I'd known it would be nothing but glowing testimony, I'd have tried for an affiliate link 😂

there’s something a little sadly poetic about the fact that three of my fancy prismacolor colouring pencils from my big art days are being worn almost fully down, not from using them for art, but for coming up on eight years of filling in my colour coded headache diaries

do you think it is worth pointing out at all what the response would be if a Muslim politician said Allah told them to remove human rights

Generally if you could chuck some money their way I'd appreciate it The charity formed from a personal place of finding strongfolk training after experiencing terrible abuse and wanting to help marginalised groups have the same They're helping start a non-gendered powerlifting federation soon too

In the spirit of doing what I can Glasgow based private gym/charity who run trauma informed strength courses (when funded) and sliding scale private PT sessions (if spaces available) Focusing on those who experience barriers to mainstream gym spaces It's the only place I feel comfortable lifting

anyone have any personal experience taking bromelain for chronic pain stuff? i just got some for post surgery swelling as its apparently good for that but i’m just reading it can be really helpful for any inflammation, and even osteoarthritis! (which i do not have but i do have Large family history)

I know January is a tight month, it is here too, but I'm making some big transition related expenses in Feb and it'd be great to clear a little more of the debt

I am once again prompting you to buy my shit mostly shoes I cannot wear anymore, nice NWT stuff that didn't fit, jewelry, and a few odds and ends posh.mk/YMOvMtV1EZb

GOOD NEWS! A group of patients with an otherwise incurable form of T‑cell leukemia have seen their cancer driven into REMISSION by an innovative immune therapy known as BE-CAR7. 82% of patients reached deep remission and 64% of patients have now been disease-free and OFF therapy for THREE years.

any personal recommendations for a metalworker/jeweller in glasgow? have a very sentimental piece of gold jewellery that needs fixing, it's a crack in a st christopher so will probably include.. melting stuff i guess? but would much prefer to go somewhere trusted and recommended!

Ah hell yeah, we did it!! $5,000 raised to build capacity to help Venezuelans. Thank you so much to our generous matching donors and everyone who contributed. Now it's time for me to stop posting and get to work researching sanctions. Will report back with results in about a week. 😎

i forgot i had this bear suit, i’m a lot cosier now

these poor guys started flowering bc december was so weirdly warm and now it’s freezing 😭

Just to be clear, the sanctions I'm referring to here are about sending a shipping container full of material aid. That's the sort of stuff I do professionally, and I have experience dealing with sending aid to other sanctioned countries. No one who donates is at any risk of violating sanctions...

I need $5,000 ASAP to: - research sanctions on Venezuela, Columbia, and Brazil - lawyer up - hire a Spanish speaking logistics coordinator - develop local contacts - start planning an aid shipment Can you make it happen, Bluesky? www.omprakash.org/global/distr...

So my silly little photo of the Queen's Park ball kicking took a turn when I was informed the organiser is apparently a known serial abuser Below is the original screenshot of a twitter post I was sent about two years ago, which includes two aliases I was told about today when the info got to me

fair play to starmer no other PM has so openly admitted "we are completely subservient bootlickers to the US and have no sovereignty of our own"

Friends, enjoy Moose, who has a huge crush on Walton Goggins and does this every time he hears his voice:

How is this even more pathetic than I thought it would be???

Usually love a Tim Onion take, but Greenland isnt "white", the Kalaallit (specific Inuit tribes of the lands) and Trump sees the country very much as a non white nation ripe for the theft. The fact that Kalaallit are vying for independence and gaining traction from Denmark is relevant here.

i am soooooo glad that i’m at the stage of my recovery where i’m able to get into my thermal long sleeved tops i tell you that much

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"
