Men like whatever they hear other men say they like. Ain’t been an original man since Adam and even his ass was taking directions..

This is exactly why we have Pride. Because a few years ago this would have just been a hateful fringe figure - but this is where our politics is heading with a Government that kertows. We will resist. And bring hope (*and* electing progressive politicians.) We will win. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Bless her. I'm hoping my final form will be Toksvig-esque

If you're in the UK and consider yourself an ally to trans people, please sign.

My new theory is that romance for white people is bound up with incest, because the western romantic canon incepted in the 18th century, with an emphasis on maintaining familial wealth, 'good breeding' and avoiding miscegenation. From Pride and Prejudice to step-sister stuck in washing machine.

Looking for a new bag for a wedding and at this point (6 months into my search) I'm just clicking on whatever Google wants me to buy. But why are all the cute bags SO EXPENSIVE 😭😭😭 Google ads, I do not have £200 for a bag. Repeat. I do not have £200.

Practicing reading with Kiddo & her library friend yesterday. Library friend's mum asked me if I work with children, the nicest compliment 🥰🥹

Don't tell my mum, but I'm stood in front of a fan with wet hair.

Superman (2025) was for the girlie pops. And Supergirl (2026) is... also for the girlie pops ✌️😙

She fucking lied. Yes, we knew it. Yes, we knew they knew it, but here she is, many years & suicides later openly admitting she fucking lied. Anyone citing the Cass Report as a valid document is a despicable, rancid cunt. No exceptions. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Been waiting MONTHS for an audiobook at the library. It's finally my turn. I press play. The Narrator is very grating and annoying. I return the audiobook. A very specific kind of heart break 🥲

Shout out to my neighbour who, despite knowing we have a young child (as do most of our neighbours) and despite being around their home the entire day, always cuts their grass at like 8pm. And by shout out I mean fuck off you twat.

Not officially autistic but on a re-read as an adult... Mia from The Princess Diaries

People are desperate to escape the quickstep towards facism that Starmer is happily dancing. But unless all of Andy Burnham's policy positions were outright lies, he won't make any of the changes needed to stop it.

This is so fucking cool.

New: Keir Starmer to introduce an 8pm bedtime for 16 and 17 year olds.

I needed a nice giggle today

i'm so spoiled because my husband actually likes me that I forget other people just live like this. girl, get up off the ground and hit him with your car

It's time for Elon Musk to pipe down.

I’m so frustrated that I have to argue 20th century philosophy about whether machines are people and 18th century science about whether germs are real and fucking 15th century colonial bullshit about whether people are human beings.

🗨 @zackpolanski.bsky.social: "The Climate Change Committee warns that within 25 years we could see temperatures above 40C. That doesn’t just mean more people getting sick from extreme heat...it has terrifying implications for the most fundamental need we all have – food.” #ClimateActionNow

Been laughing at this for 45 minutes straight

Remember how you used to just know everyone’s phone number? Then cell phones came out and you could barely recite your own number? That’s what AI’s endgame is but for every aspect of your life.

Where do I get the bracelets, asking for a friend ☺️

Thank you very much to the Independent for including me in this year's Pride List. Great to be at the event hosted by the wonderful @queerbritain.bsky.social 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

important to remember, since the press will rarely remind you, that the UK supreme court is not supreme in the way the US one is. Parliament is sovereign and can overturn or legislate counter to court decisions, they just choose not to

At the start of my terrorism studies course, I ask students what most terrorists have in common. They always say: 1- Mental illness 2- Religion. They are, of course, wrong. The two most common traits of violent extremists are: 1- Gender 2- History of domestic violence and online mysogyny.

I stand with trans and non binary people. This is a difficult and scary time - and the Govenrment must reject the framework. It's vital that everyone is treated with dignity and care and far too often trans and non binary people aren't. Solidarity always 🏳️‍⚧️

And he got a cute ickle hat 🥹

Second this time! Only by 1 point! 🎉

Solidarity is where it’s at. ✊🏽🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Hotel logic. Asked if they could put a sheet on the two singles in our bedroom so we didn't fall through the gap in the middle during the night. Two rooms to pick from, 1 full of adult women's clothes, 1 with teddies and tiny kids clothes. Guess which bed they made into the double?

Amazingly marginalised people would rather name ourselves than use the slurs that feel more comfortable to old white guys.

Who Raised This Kid, Holiday Edition Me as a child: eating my half burnt half raw pan fried chips in a tent in a field and liking it. My kid on holiday: Mummy I only had a main, can we order more room service so I can have a starter and a pudding.

Currently dressed like a picnic blanket, I'm also 5'8". Important context. Been sat down in the sitting down area for 45 mins and I've been trodden on 3 times. To repeat. I'm dressed in bright red gingham and I'm very tall. HOW HOW?!?!?

I love how he must have been told "go like that with your fingers" and he didn't realise he was meant to be holding the nail, not just making a strange sign for good luck or something. It's like a human form of AI, being shown something and not quite understanding what or why you are being shown

Love seeing proof of how far the garden has come. Used to be bare grass, hardly any wildlife, you had to really look for it. Now, I went out for 10 mins and saw: 5 birds of various kinds, spider, 2 types of bee, hoverfly, woodlice and a queen ant! Can't believe they chose my garden ❤️💚🌱☘️

Kiddo's school: you must not miss a single day of school to come back from your holiday, very bad, she will fall behind! Every second matters! Also the school: you're gonna hate us but we just did skipping all day today!

"the R slur is coming back" not within slapping distance of me it's not

We’ve been lucky to receive high-profile support since we started our campaign, and we know visibility and vocal allyship matters. It doesn’t come much higher than Sandi Toksvig, who’s done so much for women’s equality and inclusion. Thank you 🙏 notinourname.org.uk

Every time I think of something useful I could do with the 100 Microsoft programmes on my work laptop it transpires that they've been retired recently. Are you fucking kidding me? Can't sync my Planner tasks to my Outlook calendar BUT, FUN, I can choose from a bunch of AI backgrounds 🫩

WAHHH WHO WILL TIDY IT UP Me, bloody muggins over here. Who tidies up basically everything?!

Kiddo had a playdate today at our house with her little friends and their younger siblings. Safe to say she's not going to be bothering us to have another baby any time soon.

did you hear about the horrifying thing that youre powerless to do anything about

"Do you imagine yourself as Prime Minister when you masturbate?"

Car with shiny "not all disabilities are visible" sticker constantly parked over the tactile crossing. Being part of a community doesn't necessarily make you a good advocate for others. Please look after your neighbours folks ❤️

Labour MPs calling for an orderly transition but unfortunately their government needs to be at least 18 years old with four doctors to sign off first
