Not that I mind.

Managed to escape a chugger at the bus stop just now - she came up to me, started her pitch, and then said "oh sorry I think you're too young you're in your 20s aren't you" and you can bet my 36 year old ass said "yes"

Going to rename myself 'Emotions'.

Confirmation today that World Athletics treatment of Caster Semenya crossed the line and became an abuse of human rights: https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/11/sport/caster-semenya-wins-appeal-discriminatory-testosterone-limit-spt-intl/index.html

Watching Twitter’s functionality for disaster communication crumble before our eyes is real unfortunate.

This is one of the few places on social media that isn’t horribly punitive to sex workers, and yet people are already arguing that porn should be banned so that they can comfortably scroll at work? Grow up!!

I hope the Napoleon films begins with a screen reading June, 1815, Napoleon is master of Europe and only the British army stands before him – battlefields are now battlefields.

I feel this. What's the trans version of a retirement home?

Petition to change all Fraktur font to Octopuss

someone get this person a bluesky invite

I love that someone thought this was Dad's Army

Introducing someone to a certain show with "Enjoy the adventures of: Captain Dad, Traumatised Military Dyke, Trans Science Thot, Slutty Medical Twink, Goo Cop, Eternally Suffering Irishman, Capitalist Gremlin, Pope Karen, and Gay Alien Spy"

Glasgow summer feels like London summer this year so I presume London summer feels like Rome summer and god help Rome.

Someone has probably already done this but hey.

They just meowed at me until I let them into my lap and then they curled up and fell asleep happily. I adore them and want nothing bad to ever happen to them.

It's very sunny and warm today in Glasgow

follow me for more fancy pig

And quite frankly if this app is to have a future it will need to cater to these communities that are using it rather than to the wider community who are largely going to Threads anyway. Recognise your audience while you still have them.

I don't particularly want to talk or think about threads, but I want to spread awareness of this risk. My expectation is that meta will take little/no effort to control actors engaged in stochastic terrorism against trans women, and the insta connection makes it even more likely to explode IRL.

Promise I'm not a weeb, really.

I don't feel that Bluesky will be the next Twitter but that's fine, I don't necessarily need a next Twitter, I just want a place I can talk to my friends and others without having random drive-by bigots appear and call me a groomer for going out to eat ramen or something.

That's what we call a pro gesterone move.

in case you’re wondering how Threads is going, it’s people responding earnestly to stolen dril tweets

This is why I say I like Bluesky for its userbase, not its admin.

OUO what's this?

I guess we've gone international

Just Glasgow graffiti things

Movie pitch: comedy writer loses platform she spent 13 years building overnight & has to start over from scratch but winds up in a charming online small-town community where she goes back to her roots & learns to be funny again without having to constantly argue with Nazis about why she should exist

THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE.

you can actually just change the homefeed settings to disable it as well

Cheers, Bluesky

Someone on Twitter going through everyone's photos of Trans Pride today and sending death threats and bringing up Nazis in reply to every one of them, and damn, that's just what the site is now. There's not even any point reporting, and the guy doing this even follows Musk.

Nothing like curling up by the window listening to the rain fall outside and distant thunder roll between buildings all around, and feeling snug, cosy, dry, and extremely pleased not to be at the loud music festival in the city right now that must now just be nowt but mud and despair.

If you want to stop seeing your follows reply to people you don't follow in your timeline, you can use this feed.

Deanna Troi had the easiest job on the Enterprise. It was all: ROMULAN: "You have tested our patience too far, Picard! WE WILL ELIMINATE YOU!" DATA: "They've terminated communications, captain" RIKER: "They've raised shields and and arming weapons!" TROI: "I am sensing...great anger from them"

If they made Colombo today he'd have to be a femboy. He'd be all like: "It's just bothering me uwu ;_;" "My daddy always tells me..." "Just can't think when I'm not wearing these thigh-highs" "The boys back at the salon, they're very particular..." "Oh...just one more selfie"

It's a shame because I look super cool here and I found the photo again last year and just couldn't share it because Joanna Cherry would be in the Scottish Parliament trying to claim it was a death threat or something.

Fucked up that every DreamWorks or Pixar movie these days is "imagine the secret life of birds/aircraft/tools/planets/colors/etc." and they're all boys and girls versions of that thing, living in the exact same kind of culture as some city in the Midwest.

Enjoy this picture of me a decade ago posing with a prop gun I was always afraid to post on Twitter because I knew I'd be reported for violence by bad faith actors

The energy I'm trying to bring to the skyline

Let peace reign

Everything about this Telegraph piece is so splendid, right down to what this man has named his poor daughter. Archived link: https://archive.is/0Bfvp

On the one hand I can't attend London Trans Pride today on account of being in Glasgow. On the other, I got to top my gf in public last night so, swings and roundabouts.

I think it's very telling how fucked trans healthcare is in the UK that the TERFs haven't really had to target it at all, compared to the US where this has been the main goal

I keep seeing friends claim Threads is free of Twitter's bigotry and has everyone forgotten it's run by *Meta*? Have you seen what Facebook is like these days? Yeah.

when jk rowling finally crosses the line for the average lib-brained goon it's gonna be quite something to see the sensible, reasonable, adult in the room types who have defended her over the last few years try to distance themselves. she's not that far off. she rt's nazis now.

Folks I really need Bluesky to succeed, I cannot do this

this showed up in the Bird Pics feed, which is technically correct in two ways, I suppose, but I still don't think it's quite right.
