So I have a passport, a drivers licence, a national security number, a government gateway ID, a birth certificate, bank statements, mortgage statements, utility statements, tax records, and a p60 - but I will now need a digital ID card on my phone to prove who I am?? Fuck off, Starmer.

Well this is RACING along and means compulsory ID will be debated in Parliament soon. Needs more Brighton Pavilion signatures in my opinion. You know what to do: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

I hurt from last night's pilates and I don't know if that means I did it right or not.

Oh so now we're trusting doctors. Where was this energy when the Cass report came out?

Anyway, we hope nobody needs to hear this today, but... ✨Please never ever squirt Lysol up your vagina✨

The UN has confirmed what we already knew: Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. Only last week our government were denying this reality and continue to sell arms to Netanyahu's genocidal regime. They must wake up and act now to end the genocide.

Tiny Gonzo 🥺

I am reading a book set in Scotland and I had to pause to check if the author is American, they are. It's otherwise a very good book, but there were four Americanisms within a page and a half and It ruined the immersion for me. Do editors not catch these things, or do they just not care?

"autism is on the rise" no no no we have always been here, friend, are u not familiar with our work

Good morning everyone, I'm sure today is going to be a very Normal Day on the Internet.

They erased Banksy’s mural in London — just like they erase Gaza’s story every day. 💔

Today in The Internet Used to be Good: I'm trying to find something fun to do today and every search returns the same five Guided Walks and that Concert by Candlelight I'm convinced nobody has ever attended. Went on the local news website and found out there's a festival on in the city centre.

If anyone cares: I went for a Garmin Instinct E

I am being exposed to the Jeremy Vine show against my will. Send help.

Does Streeting know he's the health secretary? How is this in any way his concern, and why aren't the BBC pointing that out?

Being so transphobic you get arrested for it on Terf Island is an accomplishment if you think about it.

1. The UK doesn't have 'free speech' laws 2. He was arrested at the airport. Airport police are routinely armed. They didn't send 'gun cops' as a special treat 3. He was arrested for a tweet which contained both hate speech and incitement to violence 4. 'genius' is a choice there

Now he's just making it weird.

This is a stupidly privileged thing to say, but I was planning a holiday on the Manchester date, and I might reschedule because these are two of my favourite artists, and this is too good to pass up.

It finally happened! My mum is watching K-Pop Demon Hunters!

I've been struggling with a project for a while now, to the point where I felt I couldn't ask for help on it and was resolved to doing it wrong and hoping for the best. Today I realised I was doing it backwards.

They're wearing high-vis over camouflage. There's a metaphor in there somewhere.

Could somebody please tell the BBC and Nigel Farage that Nigel Farage is not PM?

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Sex Matters has managed to raise the 50K to take Hampstead Heath's Ladies' Pond to court for being inclusive. Let's spread the word and encourage people to donate to GoFundMe to help combat this bigotry. www.gofundme.com/f/working-fo...

I found a mushroom that looks like the Enterprise.

In case you're wondering why racists are scrawling the George cross everywhere instead of the Union Jack, it's because it's much easier to draw and they're all very thick

I found a mushroom that looks like the Enterprise.

Who's coming with me to the K-Pop Demon Hunters Sing-Along at the cinema?

Anybody want some cross-stitch trinkets?

I am once again looking at my bank account and wondering how I can monetise a hobby :/

this 3 act story has something for everyone

I was on holiday in South Africa a couple of years ago and the guide told me a similar story about a hunter killed posing next to a buffalo he'd shot. Apparently, 'The buffalo isn't dead until the biltong is dry' is a saying in South Africa.

Women.

If you go down to the woods today you’re sure of a big surprise. The woods are gone. There’s a road called ‘The Woods’ there instead, containing a load of fucking ghastly overpriced executive houses with identical shiny light grey interiors and pointless giant clocks in their living rooms.

But my favourite liquid is tea. How am I supposed to make tea if I need tea to make it? Help, I'll never be able to drink tea again.

I was in the city centre this morning and while I was there I saw people queueing outside Pop Mart, queueing to get in a newly opened Sephora, and a huge queue down the street to play a game to win Nike trainers. Consumerism is out of hand. Society needs a hard reset.

My niece wants a Labubu for her birthday so now I'm researching how to tell the Labubus from the Lafufus. I don't object to buying her a knock-off, but I don't want to buy one believing it to be authentic.

Not now radioactive wasps! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I still haven't done this. I fixed up my bike to make sure she's in working order on Monday and I might do a practice run to the gym at the weekend so I know how long it'll take.

Given how much society loves capitalism, buying things these days really sucks. I want a swim cap. Just a friggen swim cap but not one retailer I've seen online can tell me the size of the sodding thing. Sure, it says 'small' but there's no dimensions. What's the average size of a human head?

I love how when I search for crochet patterns on etsy half the results are AI. It's so great. I especially love the idea of buying a pattern to a design the seller clearly has not made.

Keir Starmer is using Palestinian lives as a bargaining chip by only recognising Palestinian statehood on certain conditions. Playing cynical political games during a genocide is shameful. The UK government should recognise the state of Palestine now.

I am still researching this because I overthink everything and one thing I've noticed is that most swim watches are waterproof to 50m but say nothing of the duration. My local pool is two meters deep. I need to know how long the watch can be under water, not if I can wear it to meet a giant squid.

It's over! I finished it!

I am reading a book that I hate. It was off to start with, then I thought it was okay, now less than 100 pages from the end I hate it, and I want it to be over. It won awards, but I can't fathom why.

I didn't renew my phone contract before it ran out so now I have no phone service. I tried logging into the app to renew it, but they want to authenticate my account by sending me a text message :/
