This has taken me back to being 15. The first new German I learned on an exchange holiday was "Close the door! Watch out for the goats!" (They liked to come into the mountain hostel, chew towels and bedclothes, and shit on the floor.)

Ich glaube bei meinen Latein-Lektionen ist was schief gelaufen 😬🙈

They're all dead, Dave.

"Am I joke to you, Sharon??"

I'm not quite sure how to process the fact that we've had a over a decade of screaming at the left in the UK on behalf of making the ideology this guy represents basically illegal to criticise.

Ben Gvir posted this video on twitter today which shows fat and happy Palestinians on a conveyer built going through the Israeli "prison" (torture camp) system and coming out emaciated and maudlin. This is textbook genocidal content.

Really excellent piece drawing the battle-lines between state and corporations, with us in the middle:

The red patent heels with all the strappy straps are off. Weddings are WORK tho

This year was the first Foyle Pride since I started taking photies that the bible bashers didn't have their big yellow "Homosexuality is Sin" banner to let anyone with a camerw position a lamp post so it reads "is in". We used to be a proper country.

Foyle Pride photos are up on the site now. brendanjharkin.myportfolio.com/foyle-pride-...

I've done three sober Prides this year... Derry is going to break my streak as expected 😆

Been poorly sicky but decided (after taking today off and sleeping without a flicker until half two) that I'm well enough to trek to Derry for Pride in the morning, with a wedding doo to get back for on Sunday. Sure what can possibly go wrong? *optimistically fecks random shite in a rucksack*

I think it’s only fair that we each get to name our own side.

it's impossible to be a woman in a way that passes everyone's test and that's actually one of the most fundamental shared experiences of womanhood

I've just had a flashback to the early days of Twitter. I think one of the first times I had a ding-dong with a random was with someone who called I Will Always Love You a Whitney Houston song 😂 #HowVeryFuckinDARE

“Late Fragment” — Raymond Carver And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so? I did. And what did you want? To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the earth.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

still one of the greatest conversations ever put on TV.

Ok imma do it. Cardinal rule (do not recommend a show unless you've watched to the end) about to be broken. Furious is fucking excellent so far and probably the most feminist big budget show I've seen. I ❤️ Lola, and they're superb in it, but damn, the performances all round are quality.

And for a quick hit here’s one from my personal library of obscurely comforting TikToks.
