If Manchester Pride taught me anything, it’s that when someone asks, “Fancy afters?” saying yes can mean either being sandwiched between three guys you know, absolutely hammered, or waking up passed out on your mate’s kitchen floor the next morning, wondering what the hell happened. 😂

Channel 4 are opening a huge can of whoop ass this week! Andy Burnham could do the funniest thing and actually hold both reform and the electoral commission to account even if it means expulsions and a new commission being born.

Four days of Manchester Pride and suddenly I’m judging my body like I’ve undone everything I’ve worked for. 😩 The gym has lost its spark and I’m struggling to get my head back in it. I know it’s probably just a wobble, but fuck, it’s frustrating.

One thing I’ve noticed at Manchester pride is the sudden rise of the aggressively straight gay fringe. I can’t work out whether we’re all collectively trying to hide our foreheads or if this is simply the latest gay haircut we’ve all silently agreed to adopt 😂

I don’t feel remotely bad about accidentally creating an opportunity for people to ask me about protection and DoxyPEP. I have so fucking much of it that at this point I’m basically a badly regulated sexual health cupboard. Please consult an actual clinician, obviously. 😂

I survived night one of Manchester Pride. Walked home at 3am fully convinced I’d wake up dead. Plot twist: I did not. Anyway, I’d like to make a public announcement: I have just poured the milk FIRST into my English breakfast tea. So there. I said what I said. 🫖🏳️‍🌈

My political views came up in conversation earlier, and I proudly said I’m not pro-Republican and I’ll always speak out against anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, whoever says it. “Well, you wouldn’t get on with my parents then.” Maybe not, but I’m not on the wrong side of history. They are 🤷‍♂️

Week 2 of 8 and these military-style workouts are testing my patience 😂 My knees are screaming, bending down and standing back up is becoming a full event. At least the serratus muscles are starting to show! Six and a half weeks to go. Jesus Christ. 😭

The day Sir David Attenborough dies, I genuinely think the gays will fucking riot. There is nobody else like him. His legacy, his work, and everything he has fought to protect are beyond measure. We are absolutely not ready for that day.

It’s genuinely sad about Dolly Parton. She’s an absolute legend, a gay icon and an incredible human being. But we also have to remember that people die. Old people die. We can’t expect anyone to live forever. Celebrate her greatness, but also remember she had a long, extraordinary life. ❤️

Walking down the Piccadilly Village canal path and occasionally getting absolutely eyeballed by a gay, only to realise we’ve spoken on Grindr before and I either forgot to reply or never did. The silent eye contact makes me feel like I’ve committed a crime 😭
