transphobia: the gateway drug to homophobia, misogyny, racism, antisemitism, ableism...
#RecipeOfTheDay is My Mother’s Praised Chicken, as it always is on this day. Happy Mother’s Day to those who celebrate it happily, and so much love to those who find it, for so many reasons, a difficult day. www.nigella.com/recipes/my-m...
The Venn diagram between anti-blackness, anti-LGBT ideologies and colonialism is a perfect circle.
Kudos to @tbij.bsky.social for exposing the deployment of a fake, Al-generated “rapper” by Ben Habib's far-right Advance UK party to promote anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, and pro-mass-deportations messaging.

Some great tips here on making Google work for you rather than serve up stuff tailored to existing biases and sponsored links: open.substack.com/pub/cardcata....
1. Don't snitch-tag.
2. Don't explain to people what they just said.
3. Don't "correct" people's jokes.
4. Don't respond seriously to silly little posts.
5. Don't respond trivially to obviously serious posts.
6. Don't "jocularly insult" people you don't know.
The rest is commentary.
It sucks a lot
Thing is, if you’re part of the food world (or want to be), you’re not allowed. See the rest of my thread.
Sounds good!
I did not know you had been, I never wanted to go. A friend went and the ant thing... she did but her husband did not and it felt like he was made second class.
Ha!
Me too tbh
Some relevant Instagram stories I posted recently.
In all honesty, I was scared to say anything bad because the food world is mean and I was too scared to rock the boat back in 2011.
Though, at the time I was blogging about literally everything edible, so the fact that I never wrote about the experience should have given people some idea.
I’ll hold my hand up here.
While I never said Noma was incredible, I also didn’t particularly enjoy the meal I had there, but the closest I came to saying anything publicly was this:
I just got this ad and I blame you and your mother
![The Scottish edition of the Sunday Express newspaper published a front page article by Paula Murray on 8 March 2009, "Anniversary Shame of Dunblane Survivors",[1] which was critical of survivors of the Dunblane massacre, by then aged 18 and 19, for posting "shocking blogs and photographs of themselves on the Internet". The "shocking" content, read from the survivors' social networking pages, with Bebo being mentioned in the article, included colloquial language and some swearing, mentions of sex and alcohol and joking references to a confrontation (interpreted by the tabloid as a "boast" about "getting in fights") and to being a "Scottish terrorist" in London. The article received a great deal of negative attention given the tenuous grounds for making the attacks. Survivors and members of the public complained to the UK Press Complaints Commission.[2][3][4]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5ifz3soyxgoapvdef74tulbx/bafkreibs5mhl3mgr5c3ctfjbqebq2zjz3p2jqosfj7b5nqb6ns44zn2x6m)
Today was the 30th anniversary of Scotland’s first and only school shooting, which is also a day to remember how a right-wing tabloid cyberstalked the survivors waiting for them to turn 18, in order to run a front page smear attack on them for…having grown up to be normal teenagers on the internet.
Can’t believe nobody wanted to read the articles nobody bothered to write
Look wake up this is serious. Chatbots are driving people insane. It's happening to people you don't think of as mad people. This is a serious danger of the technology that should majorly concern you. It's not safe for vulnerable people, & you don't want to find out the hard way that's you.
"You boy, what day is this??"
Such a dismal tale about the UK govt: so obsessed w competing with far-right to keep out foreigners that it won’t let in the brightest & best from war-torn countries even when they’re hand-picked by the FCDO, lest they ask to stay. Soft power sacrificed, but how many Reform voters will it convert?

We are not that far away from a 5 way split of c20%. This, if translated to an election result, would be utter chaos.
Anyone who doesn't think we need electoral reform must have their head buried firmly in the sand. Or is called Starmer.

Surprise to no one, a group of people who repeatedly complain about invasions of their spaces spend their free time invading other people’s spaces
Remember to believe the accusers. They’re the ones without money, without PR, who’ve put their reputations, careers and futures on the line to make his abuses public.
