I'm taking a selfie every day to practise doing a decent photo face ahead of my little brother's wedding in August. Also Warwick Castle is great, especially the falconry show.

As it's in the news already, a reminder that Sissy kink CAN be a way for trans woman to sublimate their repressed gender needs, but can also just be a kink that cis men enjoy. And no kink shaming either way, but so much of it is full of white America's sexual obsession with miscegenation.

The Government can revoke the Tory rule that Public Sector workers have to be in the office for 40% of the time even if they are in roles which can be done from home or are peripatetic like Social Workers. That would be a smart move

Most beautiful thing I have ever heard regarding trans people is from @postoctobrist.bsky.social on a @wtyppod.bsky.social bonus episode: "Trans people are the strongest argument for the existence of souls. Like, a person exists and is like, 'yes, this physical manifestation of me is not who I am."

I don't if it's the magic of TDoV, but I really am feeling myself today.

Being trans is fucking beautiful

It's Trans Day of Visibility, but a shout out to the invisible trans people - the ones who haven't realised, the ones who haven't shared it, and, sadly, the ones for whom it's just too dangerous to be yourself in public. I might not see you, but I know you're out there.

The veil between the cisgender and transgender worlds is thinnest on March 31st, which allows trans people to be visible for this one day each year. They will disappear again at midnight, so be sure to go outside and see them today!

The new frontier of sexy literature is homo sapiens fucking neanderthals- even though their tribes both forbid it.

Celebrating TDoV by going to go see Sooty! I identify a lot with Sweep; I also make a higher pitched squeak when someone's hand is inside me.

Also she was the inspiration for Leela on Doctor Who, who was in turn the inspiration (or at least namesake) for Leela on Futurama.

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

I hate Keir Starmer. Repost if you also hate Keir Starmer

Labour's approach now is basically pretend that the Greens don't exist and pray that the media go along with the pretence.

Looking for 'happiness' as an outcome is missing the bloody point: parenting is fulfilling despite being exhausted and never having any time for yourself.

can we make this the new #1 most blocked account pls

For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.

No wars are fought over sunlight.

"Stay woke. Wokeywoke. Wokest of the woke. Wokeyliscious. A cacophany of woke".

And there were children who identified as holograms, and I saw one of the holograms and it smiled at me.

List of all the countries in the world that ban all Afghan women from studying in their sovereign Higher Education institutions: 1. Afghanistan 2. United Kingdom Must make you proud to wave your flags, UK patriots with legitimate concerns. Wave them!!!

1979: Relinquish your collective bargaining rights for cheaper consumer goods, and you might get a house 1997: Also, a bit of self respect and some social liberalism 2024: Fuck you, you don’t get the social liberalism or the house. Also, the country you live in is utterly fucked because of 1979.

Seeing "trans kids given deadline to segregate themselves" and "trans women banned from yet another part of society" headlines *every single day* while everyone you know and every organization stays breathtakingly silent takes such a damn toll on your heart.

Gonna set up a Transphobia Offset Scheme that libs can donate to, so that they can spend money on Harry Potter shit whilst smug in the knowledge that their bigotry footprint is net neutral.

It' so weird that the settled attack line for now is to accuse the Greens of "not caring about the environment any more", because I genuinely don't know who this is supposed to appeal to- are they expecting a bunch of single issue environmentalists to jump ship to Labour or Reform?

Look at me, today I could actually be arsed to put on a sports bra and shorts to go on the treadmill.

I know a lot of really well meaning people are still involved in the lib dems, but they've just repeatedly demonstrated that they can't be trusted- trans people are just the latest in a very long list of betrayals.

I still cannot believe I have the tits to carry off a dress like this.

Also tiny Bella Ramsay is in the recent-ish BBC adaptation of the Worst Witch (not the 90s one that I grew up with) and they are ADORABLE in it.

Guys, people should be allowed to consume Harry Potter, otherwise they'd miss amazing plot points like: 1. Fat people bad 2. Man in turban bad 3. Protagonist wins sport designed for protagonist to win 4. Protagonist occasionally lose at sport, but never fairly, that would make him less special.

A reminder that The Worst Witch predates Harry Potter by about 20 years, is way cuter and has not been associated with any hate campaigns.

Severe clinical depression. Acute anxiety. And when the oestrogen begins to feminise their bodies the reaction is visceral and often violently distressing. They experience a profound, catastrophic loss of self. buff.ly/6c6qzCZ #LGBTQ #Transgender #Hormones #GenderStuff

update to our equality and diversity policy: trannies banned. we remain committed to dignity, respect and inclusion.

Men need to women up and know when to help. This is the domestic violence hand signal.

The language in Lola doesn't quite match that we use today...because it was written in the fucking 60s, but it clearly feels affectionate about the trans woman in question. The worst you could say about it is it could come across slightly chaserish? Eminem was right about Moby in the 00s.

The cousin of the king was actually a Scottish MI19 intelligence officer. His noble title didn’t exist. Some of their fellow prisoners, who they believed to be captured high ranking luftwaffe officers were in fact German Jews who had fled the nazis pre war and recruited by British Intelligence.

I hope the nurse who came to my house to take a blood sample was impressed that I had a sharps bin all set up, I want my good grade in having bloods taken.

The idea that attacking fucking AMBULANCES does anything at all against the Israeli state is preposterous, all it does is make Jewish people feel even more scared and under attack, as well as putting everyone in North London who might need an ambulance at risk. Clown shit, knock it the fuck off.

Deploring Israel's actions as a state isn't antisemitic. Attacking Jews and symbols of Jewish culture in supposed retaliation for Israel's actions is however *textbook* antisemitism and these are not complicated thoughts to simultaneously hold in one's head.

"Bunch of guys obsessed with Ancient Sparta can't beat the Persians at sea" was probably one of the known-knowns, come to think of it.

My Son, Unberogen, is so based he would order breast milk, not just from waitresses but from every female he meets. This would always stun them.

This tracks, along the same lines as them being convinced that bacon is kryptonite for Muslims.

Fitting a cat flap feels like the most lesbian thing I could do that doesn't involve fucking a woman.

A lot of stuff is said about Xander being a proto-incel, and he definitely does show some of these tendencies (as do a lot of teenage boys, I did when I was one). But I don't feel like these are depicted positively, and part of his character growth over time is being less weird about women.

This is terrifying, and a particularly chilling aspect is that the lazy shits leading the school didn't even bother to write the justifications themselves, they made the decision using what an LLM said about books.

To this day I am disgusted that my Mum wanted to call me Christobel, because there was exactly one cool Pankhurst and it wasn't fucking Christobel.

Post a GIF of who you wanted to be as a kid.
