Another day, another vehicle used as a weapon. Solidarity with the queer community in Berlin and everywhere, and all those traumatised by this violent act this evening.
I just want to mention that one my primary school classmates got hit by a car on her way to school, and it was absolutely traumatising for all of us. Well most for her, but it was awful, we were absolutely terrified. (Thankfully she made a full recovery but she was in hospital for several weeks!)

Don't know why Christopher Nolan is trending, but he better give me some good IMAX format Charlize Theron screentime tomorrow to make my trip to London worthwhile between all the men fighting. To put it in my partner's words: "I think you are gay for Charlize" - d'aaah, yeah, what else is new.

They are calling on the City Council to support their rights in the face of “overly simplistic approaches to sex, gender and sexuality”.
