So how are all my former gifted and talented kids who used to read several books a day and now rot their faculties doomscrolling while ignoring a TV show doing tonight

Me trying to enjoy my social media bubble

As of today I've been going out with @gquail.bsky.social for exactly half of my life xxx

I've read Queer As Folklore and found it hugely entertaining and informative. Would highly recommend!

We'd be a more successful species if women consumed the man's body after sex.

Solo holidays are great and I'm honestly having a blast. Fun fact: I'm the same age as Shirley Valentine. 🏖

At the airport, about to go on a wee solo trip to Gran Canaria while @gquail.bsky.social is at Warhammer World. Oscillating between excited and anxious. Never done anything like this before or spent this much time apart in 21 years. Sure I'll be fine but having a smol crisis of faith! ✈️

🧀Some (very Friday in August) polling. Does your favourite cheese affect how you vote? Reform have huge leads with fans of Stilton & Cheddar, but also people who don't eat cheese at all. Labour dominates among Feta fans. Tories best result is Brie & Greens with Camembert.

I've been thinking a lot about this post since I read it a couple of days ago. Broadly speaking, left/centre voters believe Brexit followed by Covid are the points where "everything went wrong". But if you're right wing, you think Blair's election was much worth for the path of Britain. 1/x

Here is a video of viennetta being made in the factory set to darude's sandstorm to emphasise what they took from us. How much we lost. 🙏

Why I 🧡 the web. drawafish.com Just draw the fish. Trust me. 🐟

My Bluesky patter in a nutshell

I defy anyone over the age of 40 not to imagine themselves in a Queen music video when doing the hoovering.

Ten writers by whom I've read more than five books: Terry Pratchett Ben Aaronovitch Douglas Adams Sue Townsend Ira Levin Agatha Christie Grant Morrison Kurt Vonnegut Alan Moore Shirley Jackson

I regularly buy a dozen bottles of Badger Ale and 2 packs of mushrooms at my local supermarket. I put them on the conveyor belt in that order hoping the cashier will burst into song as they put them through the till, but they never do.

With The Sandman returning to Netflix, the reality is you can't separate this art from the artist, thanks to Neil Gaiman's abuse allegations.

Post your favourite Doctor Who, wrong answers only.

We're back! New episode drops on Monday 😱 #ttrpg #dndpodcast #ttrpgfamily #ttrpgpodcast

"You see, these Spice Girls, they challenged this man and said that if he wanted to be their lover they would have to get with their friends and....and....men have been under....this pressure....now.....since 1996. And I'm sad for them"

i'm sorry, i do just kind of think you're a bad person if you value human lives differently based on where they were born.

I'M GONNA KEEP ON DANCIN AT THE

terfs will never be happy bcos trans women have never been the source of their misery.

“Guidance” Sounds Harmless. But We Know Better. Is Section 28 repeating itself? medium.com/@karlacross0...

Just announced by a coalition of Glasgow groups - lunchtime protest outside the local office of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, opposing their call for trans segregation. Friday 2nd May, 12pm-2pm.

“define a woman” fine ok, so you know when shania twain says “let’s go girls”? if you go then you’re a woman

😂😂😂 I needed this today

Next up is an open letter that has been put together by TransActual and FGEN that you can sign! bsky.app/profile/park...

If you wanted another option for a letter writing campaign. There is one here from Trans Legal Project: bsky.app/profile/tran...

One of the first things you can do is email and get in touch with your MP. Fortunately Trans Solidarity Alliance has put some guidance on how to write to your MP, and what to write to your MP about. bsky.app/profile/nanc...

Whilst there aren't any protests until the weekend. There is a lot you can still do to fight. For example there are numerous letter writing campaigns you can take part in. Follow this thread as we show you what campaigns are running.

Want to contact your MP about the Supreme Court ruling? @transsolidarity.bsky.social has created an MP letter template to help get you started docs.google.com/document/d/1... 🙂💪

An amazing collection of links and resources here. I've just donated to Switchboard LGBT+ Helpline and Not A Phase. 🏳️‍⚧️ #transrightsarehumanrights linktr.ee/BeATransAlly...

I know everyone goes on about George Michael (and yes he was fantastic) but as a kid I was utterly blown away by Annie Lennox and David Bowie's cover of Under Pressure; one of the most powerful and emotional performances I've ever seen. Annie in particular looked and sounded absolutely stunning.

🧵NOT BY ME, this is a post from someone who wants to remain anonymous but works extensively with trans people pre-transition. They were asked by someone “why do you think that’s so much [coverage of trans people] in the news at the moment?” This was their response:

One of us today turned up with an appropriate badge to the rally at George Square in Glasgow. The other had to improvise. 'Freedom is the right of all sentient beings' #transrightsarehumanrights

Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up. I’ll add more as I find them. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Continuing the thread! Protest in Glasgow!

Following today's UK Supreme Court Ruling we wish to reaffirm our position that Geek Girl Brunch Glasgow stands in full solidarity with the trans community. Trans women are women. #Transrightsarehumanrights. Trans women are welcome at our brunches any day, any time. 🏳️‍⚧️ #geekgirlbrunch #ggbglasgow

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Without revealing your age, what video game did you play most as a kid? 🎮🕹️

I was today years old when I learned about the existence of KnitTok. What a wild ride. 🧶 www.independent.co.uk/life-style/k...

NOOT NOOT 🐧

I have a large burn scar on my chest from an accident, which I used to be hugely self-conscious about. My absolute worst fear was something like this happening - I would have been crushed beyond repair. I hope this woman buys the lowest cut top she can find and wears it while dumping his sorry ass.

🎶 You I wanna take you to a trade war I wanna take you to a trade war I wanna take you to a trade war, trade war, trade war🎶

This song makes me want to vom 🤢
