A phrase you don't often hear: I just had a delightful chat with my cab driver! Brexit, politics, the gig economy, council housing, racism. I knew I was on safe ground when I saw his GMB lanyard.

Definitely got a thing for patterned linen shirts this summer

It's true. I am a shameless filthy quiche eater.

Google appears to have a higher opinion of me than I do

Phwoar! Fresh, lovely Velvia. Costs twice as much as it used to, but it's worth it for the amazing colours.

Happy Bastille Day It’s also the anniversary of my mother’s divorce, so «Vive la République» & “Smash the patriarchy”

would v much be interested in filling my East London sports pub (Stratford) with women/nb/queer people for the next few World Cup games if anyone would be interested in our currently quite free table ressies (fiver per four seats, goes to CALM charity)

For the love of perversion Kinksters, make a will and tell your close friends about it! Even when you are young, just make a boilerplate one! A couple of weeks ago a dear member of the German community passed away way before his time. His parents turned his mid 5figure gear collection into landfill

Any analogue photographers care to venture an opinion on whether this #Fujichrome #Velvia is worth trying? It's been in a warm garden shed, and the original usage date was 7.5 years ago #photography #analoguefilm

Have got some hydration salts to add to water. They're supposed to be lemon and lime flavoured. Much in the same way that MoviPrep is orange flavoured.

Think I should practise taking these glasses off in a portentous way, while uttering crap puns, like that guy in CSI: Miami

Mother always told me not to take QR codes from strange men

Have a poem. This might be a nice stop on my Ireland trip. youtu.be/jt_ibAqQbso?...

This charming tent effect is caused, in part, by the weather being so hot that the glue holding the fabric to the roof of the car has melted.

Finally got round to trimming some leather trousers I got in May..but what to do with the offcuts?

Absolutely no one deserves murdering, however much we dislike their opinions or politics. I've seen many who commented on the death of Widdecombe delete their posts once the manner of her death was known. Maybe, if you celebrated it, that's a wise thing to do.

Crafty Friday evening Perdomo Lot 23

Absolutely do this! I am suffering with heat exhaustion (dizzy spells are the worst) after a few really hot bus trips this week. It's really not fun

The news today reminds me of the power of prepositions. There's a hell of a difference between being sucked off a Ryanair flight and being sucked off on a Ryanair flight.

Doctor has given me something called Brandt-Daroff exercises to, essentially, reset my ears. God, I had this hot weather.

Awful people have often tried to rehabilitate themselves via light entertainment - Trump's first press sec. went on Dancing with the Stars, Farage on I'm a Celeb, etc - but we shouldn't be fooled. Anne Widdecombe defended a policy that saw pregnant women shackled while in labour, amongst other evil

Weird spam email suggests making custom plushies or 3D toys for the BLUF store. Hmmmm... maybe we could do a plushy version of a boot, for subs to cuddle in bed at night?

Please be careful in the heat! After my sweatbox of a ride on a bus yesterday, I'm feeling drunk when I stand up today despite not touching alcohol for four months!

Kinky feet! Available at store.bluf.com

Wednesday message: "Have you hugged your faggot today?"

I'm one of the backers for Wrath Month, an anthology of queer writing. This story of how @bonabooks.bsky.social were duped by some AI submissions is wild. Kudos to them for weeding them out, and shame on those who tried to take space from real authors. www.bona-books.com/news/we-boug...

Uggh. A really hot day in London and I forgot the milk was delivered this morning. It's been outside all day

Cat on a bondage chair.

Just filled the car up for the first time in two years. £94!

The woman from Sky TV, which has just bought ITV, is definitely not to be trusted. She referred to Coronation Street as "content," so that's going down the shitter, isn't it?

Just filling out forms for annual travel insurance. Now, there's a way to make you aware of your ageing!

Are these shorts slutty enough?

I think we can all get behind this guide from @girlonthenet.bsky.social for slutty summer looks

I've been covered. I'm a Master now.

This is an amazing account of IMsL and IMsBB, and other things. Leather dykes go hard. I feel IML may be a vicar's tea party compared to this: defector.com/finding-frie...

Thoughts on the Pride Parade #PrideInLondon

Here's a photo of the bus advert I mentioned the other day. I just don't see the point of it. "I was dithering about where to buy my next death-copter, but that bus advert swung it for GE Aerospace"

Well, this is quite pleasant - I registered yesterday for Quiet Pride. So I am now in the WeWork space in Holborn, where there is a reading area, crafting space, silent disco. Plus Aircon and the march streamed to a big screen. Happy Pride

Lots of gays on this train. I guess it's a bit like snakes on a plane, except they're not all poisonous and no one's going to be bitten unless they really want it

Does the shopping bag make me look gay?

Gay shoes day

Friday night Perdomo Connecticut 10th Anniversary

Only just discovered there's an official Quiet Place for London Pride tomorrow, but you have to register beforehand.

Even left in the car on a hot day, the water inside this stylish aluminium BLUF bottle was still cool and refreshing!

On this day in 1981 the first mainstream media report of what would come to be known as AIDS was published on page 20 of the New York Times. The epidemic has now taken the lives of more than 710,000 Americans out of an estimated 43 million AIDS deaths globally. And it is not over yet.

As I was trimming my beard just now, I looked in the mirror and it made me think of Father Abraham. And that, of course, led me to YouTube, where I found this absolutely joyous clip, with so many people clearly reliving their youth: www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7Ha...

You know what gives me the horn? Reporting issues with a site or app, and then seeing the changelog reporting them as fixed within 24 hours.

Another photo of my giant gay car

Funeral for a friend

“I just couldn’t believe it,” said Joe Homo – a Masculine Gay – as he recounted his story in the hospital ER. “After the first punch, I yelled ‘I’m gay, not queer’ but they just carried on as if it didn’t make a difference.”
