Fuck it, I'm going to download an Amiga emulator and disappear into the past Save me, Turrican II
She can fuck off. Disgusting (again).
Far-right agitator Kellie-Jay Keen deliberately disrupting two Muslim men, as they prayed in a corner of Hyde Park. When government, politicians, media and pundits stay silent about this, they’re condoning it. As this would never be allowed, had these been Jewish worshippers

BRAND NEW VIDEO: not only my most thorough take-down of these anti-trans talking points, but it explains why women & minority groups are often stereotyped as "contagious" & "excessively sexual." it compiles a decade of my work, so please watch & "like" & share so others see it! youtu.be/rJq9ran4Sdc
