speaking ill of the dead does zero harm They are dead - either their faith system was accurate (in which case what you say is irrelevant unless its specific forms of ancestor worship/reincarnation) Or they are worm food Speak your truth and ignore those who benefit from silence

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

It tells you everything you need to know about the state of British society when the Anne Frank Trust has to step in because of the dehumanising attacks on the LGBT community. What a disgrace we’ve become

So I’m at Blenheim for the food festival and saw a stall advertising ‘Big Ginger Hot Sauce’ and I thought oooh ginger in a hot sauce, sounds interesting! So I walked over and it’s normal hot sauce made by a 6’2” red-headed guy

pondering a lot the importance of community, especially with the government's attacks on trans people in the UK becoming almost daily occurrences. Only together will we survive this. wasnt expecting to discover at willowmoot that St Thomas Aquinas agreed with me!

#Tolkien fans! Needing help for #TolkienTrewsday. 🏳️‍🌈 June is Pride Month in the UK and this year it would be nice, as an ally, to put a whole month of themes into celebrating our LGBTQ+ fans and the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. So... themes? 1/

Wes streeting is a great example of what internalised homophobia does to some gay people - to cope they project their shame and self hate onto others Therapy helps, but you have to have the courage to be vulnerable and sit with the shame, not shit all over trans people
