if anyone was looking for "all of the water possibly in Europe right now" it's currently in the sky over south London, I think we've got all the water right now, falling on us, cheers
Watching wealthy Americans posting about how we all need to declare a side in Team Library vs Team Bookstore is demoralizing. When the decline in literacy is literally costing us our country and our hopes for the future... How about we all get on Team I'd Rather Just See People Reading Whatever?
At a time when divisiveness, hatred and exclusion dominates the political and news agenda, Bake Off reminds us all what Britain is really and should be about.
"No, same-sex marriage will not entirely dissolve in the United States if Obergefell should be overturned, but it will be much, much more difficult for millions of LGBTQ families if that happens."
If Same-Sex Marriage is Overturned
An explainer for the worst case scenario.

Legally, there isn't the slightest basis to the complaint, even on the most extreme possible interpretation of the Supreme Court judgement. A shop floor is not a single sex space, regardless of whether they sell bras or not. This is just hatred and spite, unleashed.
Patrick Ness@patricknessbooks.bsky.social · last yr.The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.
Maybe...just maybe...getting tens of thousands of responses despite a ridiculously short two week window indicates that they should actually...read those responses?
Today, our capital proudly marks seven years of London Trans+ Pride. As trans rights come under increasing pressure across the UK, this year’s march is a vital reminder: London is a city that stands for equality, dignity and pride - for everyone. 🏳️⚧️
We don't talk enough about what the bowl plate has done for us as culinarily inclined gay people
Despite now being cooler, He-Man has decided he quite likes the bath as a day bed and will continue to nap in it #catsofbluesky
I have a new hero. This owl stole a child's hobby horse and flies around with it!
One thing social media has taught me (though I have definitely experienced it in other media too): a lot of people, even quite smart people, are worryingly bad at reading comprehension. For instance: many have trouble distinguishing between someone *describing* a thing and *advocating* that thing.
You betas just don’t understand that real men fight by whining about each other on their own dedicated social media sites they own specifically to insulate themselves from public mockery
I cooked dinner today inspired by #starwars: Steamed bao from the Halcyon Star cruiser Tip Yip, Mustafar tubers, Corellian sea leaf Ghorman choux, macadamia praline,blue milk mousse, white chocolate web #food #cooking #starwarsfood #andor
If you buy her products, this is what you fund. An actual hate movement based on misinformation and right wing substacks. A movement that any even slightly non-conforming woman is now literally in danger from. Actual lives are more important than your Hogwarts House.
think we should turn this into a global thing, once a week Jeffrey Goldberg gets to hang in a different group chat, then maybe at the end of the year he can write about what he's learnt
Fascinating evening last night at the Bishopsgate Institute queer archives. If you're queer and living in London book yourself onto the tour ASAP, just an amazing insight into decades of queer joy, history and daily life. @bishopsgateinst.bsky.social
This is something I don't understand. How can it be safe to prescribe puberty blockers to some groups of children, but not to others? I can understand if there was a specific issue (immune system, heart problems etc) but what is the reasoning beyond just "yeah not for trans kids"?
Having a cat at Christmas is magical because you get to decorate your tree 30 times
