I don’t really know how to be. Trans rights are human rights.
Incredible moment just now on the train platform. A bloke cracks out x2 such loud farts that his girlfriend storms away in disgust. When he follows, she gives him a colossal bollocking, of which I only heard the following excerpts: “It’s not funny… I’m sick of it… Not just tonight… At the funeral.”
Watching Heroes again, this time with Libby. Fascinating (a) how gripping she finds it; and (b) how much I’ve forgotten.
You’re telling me England sat on a one-goal lead, contented themselves with defending their third, AND STILL LOST? Well, I never.
I may be drunk, madam, but in the morning I will be sober. Whereas you, who are beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on, will no longer be so beautiful in the morning when my drunkenness has worn off.
A dog who has been cruelly filled with ten and twenty pound notes by her local bank, and is annoyed by people taking money out of her stomach, and my joke, "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read. On the plus side, you can sometimes withdraw cash."

Well done Brobbey – although I imagine the orange kit will clash with pink with yellow spots.
Gotta love La Marseillaise. “Shopkeeper, shopkeeper!” Great stuff.
If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts
So Burnham wants to drop net migration further, and Streeting wants to play cakeism with the EU? Perhaps let’s stick with Starmer…
Happy London Marathon Day and congratulations to all those competing. I’m not doing it myself this year but as a sub-three hour Marathoner, here are some top tips to make your day go gangbusters. 1. Treat yourself to a brand new pair of running shoes as a treat for your feet.
For all of the interest in pretending that inequalities are a function of will or that structural racism is in the distant past: 12 million people were born in Jim Crow states before Jim Crow ended — and still live there today. Gift link:

She sometimes did drugs But she wasn't a junkie She crawled down the street Her gait slow and clunky Her head pounded like It was kicked by a donkey Her eyes were on fire Her stomach felt funky And then she saw it All grinning and spunky It was surely not real but
@scriblit.bsky.social, what’s that anime you occasionally recommend? I always make a mental note to watch it, but with my brain, that’s like making a note on the wind.
A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain. A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones. The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...
