To the nice man who offered me his seat on the super busy train to Leeds today: you're my hero thank you 💜 Would have been in agony by the time we got there and everyone else was doing the "God don't pick on me to ask for a seat" stare

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

The copy of A Wizard of Earthsea which my teacher gave me in Year 5 and which is probably responsible for my addiction to fantasy worlds and failing heroes

When it comes to politics, it's always better to fight and lose than to simply acquiesce.

2025 has been a real mixed bag for me. Lots of highlights - new job, trip to Korea, seeing art exhibitions and going to concerts, but also just a very bad year mental health wise (despite all the good things!). Hoping for a kinder 2026🤞

Fucking new year timetable changes have screwed up my commute aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

An excellent rec! It arrived this afternoon (a delightful belated Xmas present) and I have inhaled it immediately

We are doing monsieur Poirot a disservice

Christmas preparations have begun! Lovely carol service at the cathedral, the tree is up and the wreath is on the door!

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Incredibly brave. Imagine the faceless bores the BBC will have making their programmes if they continue down this path.

Also, if I have any trusted friends or friends of friends who knows one of the following languages and is willing to donate time to translate a flyer to help support teachers/trans kids/disabled folks in AB, reach out 🥹 Arabic Tagalog Vietnamese Tigrigna Yue (Cantonese) Amharic Punjabi Spanish Urdu

[pls share!] putting out a call because i am prepping for next year's trans rights bundle - i'm looking to focus on Idaho or Arkansas, both of which have had 10+ anti-trans bills passed this year. So - ID and AR residents, what are some local queer and trans organizations you know and trust?

Come work for TransActual! We are recruiting a Communications Lead 🤗 We will also soon be advertising for a Fundraising Officer. Full details here: transactual.org.uk/jobs/ @transactualuk.bsky.social

Guys everyone needs to go and watch these videos recapping Lord of the Rings (the films) because its so good and somehow made me emotional even just in recap?? I think I just like watching people be passionate about things www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIdE...

4. 자기 꼬리를 물고 있는 설표들…

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'. One wonders what *would*.

Hello gays and theys, the end of the year approach-eth, so you know what that means: The second half of 🏳️‍🌈2025 Queer Adult SFF List! 🏳️‍🌈 Organized by month again, because that seemed to work pretty well last time!

Refreshed my hair yayyyy now I look like the ocean again instead of seaweed 🥰

Introducing: the Beres pork sandwich! Sliced roast pork, crackling, stuffing and apple sauce in a bun. Delicious. Has to be from Beres (a local chain pork sandwich shop) to qualify. Looks terrible but tastes incredible

Had the best time recording the first episode of #HeartforgeSiege over on @thetransmissions.bsky.social 💜 Can't wait for you all to meet these characters!

Devastated to share the news that was broken to colleagues in Music (and other departments) at the University of Nottingham yesterday. This is obviously a very difficult time for us and our students. Please contact us on [email protected] if you would like to be involved.
