Oh, what fun. Someone's got my credit card number and trying to spend £804 in Glasgow. So I have to do the usual dance of updating loads of stuff. Glad they caught it, before it was approved, but still a nuisance.
Just got one of those fake robocalls about Visa fraud, offering the choice of pressing two to speak to one. So I did, and once he said "thank you for calling Visa fraud department, how can I help you?" I said "I'd like to know if you've got a big cock." He hung up on me without answering.
From today, if you see a well-known TERF going to the toilet, you should challenge their right to do so, to protect other people from their vile ideology. May they never piss in peace.
New transphobic guidance comes into force today in the UK. Based on a twelve year old's idea of biology, and rooted in TERF delusions, it will empower bigots to harass trans people even more. Look out for people. Stand by your trans.
Speaking of baked goods, I think I've almost perfected my Swedish cardomum buns.
Have ordered two of these little e-ink displays; they have an ESP32 built in, and I think one would be ideal as a remote control for some of the playroom bits and pieces. www.seeedstudio.com/reTerminal-S...

So, it turns out this swingers club is known as "Chunky Muffins" I worry about straight people.
subdirectory.uk@subdirectory.uk · 7d agoHave you ever dreamed of running a rural swingers club? This could be the dream property for you.
Just saw a shop called "Cheeky chickens" from the bus, and now I'm wondering whether a gay bar that caters to twinks and sells fried chicken is a viable business model.
So, I'm looking for someone who's a member of Qualgeist to write some words for me, about what it is, why it's special, and so forth. Drop me a line if this appeals to you.
Me at the @lmi.bsky.social BBQ. Photo by @job2000.bsky.social My own photos should be back and ready to scan early next week.
Realised I didn't share pictures of my cakes. Vanilla and cardomum sponge, with printed toppers.
Watch this space over the weekend for an update on my zine project!

Madame Pinkness@madamepinkness.bsky.social · 7d agoAny time I see a noteworthy house listing, oh has @oldenoughtosay.com seen it yet? "Extensive entertainment facilities" indeed. www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/9...
FB reminds me that it's a year since this glorious encounter on Recon, which at least got me a recipe for brownies, even if it didn't get me laid.
Ugggh. Still almost 26 degrees outside in London. And after two bus trips today, my dizziness is back. Going to have to stay in with the Aircon tomorrow and do meetings online, as it's forecast to touch 34, which will make the buses unbearable (and unsafe)
A community member said to me during this week's leather festivities "When I get a title I will _____." Another person the next day said "Maybe If I join a club I can contribute _____." I hear this all the time and it saddens me people think this way. bannon.substack.com/p/the-power-...

You don’t need a club, organization, title, or anyone’s permission to make a difference.

May add an extra item to the style guide for my forthcoming zine: "Mention of the film Pillion (2025) is strictly forbidden. Little good ever comes of it. Save it for a Media Studies zine instead."

Tonight: Vigil for Berlin Pride at Soho Square, London.
Why spend money on an expensive trip to Berlin for Folsom Europe, when I can get the same experience by taking the 254 to Holloway Road?
At this stage, there can surely be little doubt that Meta is deliberately targetting queer accounts.
