when you own cats every song becomes a little song about your cats *cut to @thefatpotato.bsky.social absent-mindedly singing while putting ginko & lulu to bed 10 minutes ago, shortly after watching the producers* 🎵 it's bedtime, for dickheads, who are stinkyyy🎵 oh.oh no. cut! cutcutcut!!!
I've ranted about this many times, I know, but the one that really bugs me is the fake Hunter S Thomson quote about the music business that's endlessly shared. What he actually wrote is in the image.
pickwick@pickwick.bsky.social · 5d ago3k reposts and nearly 10k likes for a misattributed quote that's super easy to check. It's from a 2014 stage adaptation of 1984; that's why it's so uncannily relevant to the 21st century
Glasgow pals is anything fun happening this weekend? I am bereft cause there's no local markets or community things on and I want to get out the flat!
If we're going to be denied the most basic human dignity, why should we be dignified in our response? 60 bottles of piss in 2022 weren't enough to change the hearts and minds of our transphobic establishment, so start eating whatever runs right through you, grab a lunchbox and get creative.
Trans Activists Left Over 60 Bottles of Piss Outside the EHRC

When someone is described as "often controversial, never boring" in 2026 it just means: full nazi but also part of the establishment.
Wow. This is my shocked face,
Ben Schwarz@benschwarz.bsky.social · last wk.Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage.

Trying to dodge the germs alongside the endless crowds of the Fringe? Or want to be right in the middle of the action, but stay safe from covid, colds, and everything else going around? Grab a mask at one of these spots!
This is a beautiful vision of love, rage and resistance.

Been a week from hell. Had multiple allergic reactions and shitty symptoms continuing after, but I did manage to get out and get my nails done. T4T nails is a fucking magician. I love him!

If you are a @theguardian.com reader you wouldn’t know that the largest ever gathering of trans people in history yesterday was protesting against the Burnham government’s transphobic hate-policies. It had an article about making an omelette though.
Lee Hurley@hleehurley.com · 2w ago150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.
fash trying their best to paint glasgow as a no go area when it is them who are making people feel unsafe.
Did not make it to yell at fascists today cause I woke up to the right side of my face, neck and jaw all swollen. That's a fun new symptom. Whatever my body is fighting off is flooring me cause I just constantly want to sleep.
One of the organisers on stage has stated that their current attendance estimate is 150k people.
What The Trans?! 🏳️⚧️@whatthetrans.com · 3w agoThis concludes our reporting of London Trans+ Pride 2026. Only time will tell what the true attendance numbers were, but it definitely feels significantly larger than last year. Thank you for coming.
Hi pals! Doing this great event with Pride House Glasgow next week: I will be talking about Orlando and my adaptation after a screening of Sally Potter’s beautiful film from 1992 - it’s gonna be so much fun! Tickets are available here: leapsportsscotland.beaconforms.com/form/d1ede9ba
Anyone else going tomorrow and wants to meet as a group then poke me. Fuck these fascists.
Going to London Trans Pride on Saturday? Don’t take SWP or Stand Up To Racism (an a SWP front org) placards/flyers/newspapers; walk past and don’t engage anyone promoting them. If you need help, ask a steward. [CW for sexual abuse in the Wikipedia article] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociali...

The Fat Potato@thefatpotato.bsky.social · 4w agoThe documentary my pals made about me (called Pretty Sick) is showing as part of this. I can't believe me ranting about community care, organising and also being a general clown queer is gunna be on that screen. Ironically I am too sick to make it down for it, but it is SOLD OUT!
tfw you’re rachel reeves and you lose your dream job at the department for killing disabled people.
My dysphagia has been so bad lately that I've been back on Huel for nutrition 😭 but yesterday I actually managed a (soft) solid meal 🥳🥳🥳
Watching a Korean variety show where they visit a different country (But stay in Korea) every week. Last episode *Non, je ne regrette rien* starts playing to indicate the next country. "This week we're in!... ITALY!" FUCKEN HOWLING!
Pain levels are so high today I don't think I can drag myself to any of the Glasgow Solidarity Pride stuff. I got confused by that and the Glasgow green meet up. Are they connected?!
