A while ago, I thought to myself 'if planes and birds and stuff are flying over us all the time, why do we never notice a momentary shadow passing over us?' Anyway, since thought that I have noticed these momentary shadows passing over me all the time and I find it very cool
Robin says 'your money may buy you security but it will never buy you freedom'
It must be said that Heinz and Thea Lachman and Irene and George Engle really did choose the best spot on Hampstead Heath on which to situate their memorial bench
Inventory management and carry limits are by far the worst part of RPGs and we as a society should have moved past them by now
I am convinced there's a secret station between Victoria and Green Park that has some sort of memetic field around it so we never remember it, but it's THERE, I know it!!!
I know that having phone signal underground is a modern miracle and we should be grateful for having it at all but the black spot around Euston makes me so angry on a daily basis 😭
15 weeks of 2026 left and I've got 13 more books to read to hit my target, can I do it? (Unrelated but if you have any short books to recommend, please lmk)
True, but Smoggie Queens is genuinely brilliant and I don't see it getting enough support from the community so please go and watch it and celebrate it and tell all your mates to watch it too xoxo
Steven Perkins@stevenperkins.bsky.social · last wk.Incredible BBC-ing from the BBC here, responding to the axing of their queer-led shows like I Kissed a Boy/I Kissed a Girl and Drag Race UK by pointing out they’ve got Mr Loverman (a one-off miniseries aired in 2024) and some token gays in Amandaland
The phrase 'Picky Bits' muscling out 'picnic food' is endemic of the infantilisation of society in the UK.
We have reached the delightful stage in the year where I could, if I chose, take every Friday off between now and the end of the year with my remaining holiday days 😌
If you weren't paying your license fee you're not allowed to complain about Drag Race UK being axed by the BBC
Ocarina Of Time looks absolutely stunning, Nintendo has come to slay on that one!
Spent my day in meetings with charities pitching themselves to us to be a part of the Christmas appeal this year and I feel like I've been through the emotional ringer fackin 'ell
A few years ago on Drag Race UK, one of the queens got a sliver of positive feedback and replied "ooh, I could cum" and I quote it all the time and always have to remember this is not acceptable chat in polite company
Started two Bluesky posts in a row with the words "by the way" might have to kms 🫣
By the way, I had a Greggs Steak & Stilton bake earlier and it was honestly one of the tastiest things I've eaten in ages so I thoroughly recommend!
By the way, I am aware that it's rude to eavesdrop on other people's calls. However, making calls in public so loudly and so long-form that passers-by can pick up your annoying turns of phrase is gauche and vulgar
Jack 🏳️🌈@jacksayspurple.bsky.social · 3w agoThere's a guy on the phone near me bitching about his staff and he keeps saying "they just stand around like lemons", "they're like lemons they just stand around", "it's like working with lemons all the standing around they do" I mean, if there's one thing lemons famously do not do it is, uh, stand

By the way, if you're a London gay who didn't even attend, no one would blame you for not posting your disgust about Manchester Pride putting "profit before politics" just because they charged an entrance fee to help fund security and crash barriers and stuff to keep the community safe
Me and my bestie had a cute trip to Stratford-upon-Avon to see #TheMadKing - second viewing for me but significantly better seats so very magical 10/10 recommend
Conquering the post-Manc Pride blues the only way I know how
Overheard on the Manchester Pride main stage just now: "we've just been talking about global conflict and genocide, but what conflicts have you had in your relationship?" 💀💀💀
Gen Z/Alpha cuspers are bringing back huge eyebrows and I for one welcome our new Frank-N-Furter-looking overlords
Lot of people moaning about the rain in Manchester, what are you guys? The Wicked Witch of the West? A bit of rain isn't gonna make u melt, mom
I actually deeply love the idea of major plotlines in movies being a total secret until they're about to launch. Ideally they shouldn't have mentioned this at all until the film was out
