I also found a torn up Jeff Stryker โ€˜lifestyleโ€™ publication in pieces along the disused railway track near home ๐Ÿ˜‚

Why WAS dog poo white? ๐Ÿค”

Iโ€™ve just found outโ€ฆ

โ€œWhite dog poo was common in the 70s-80s due to high-calcium dog foods.โ€

Irish man held in ICE detention says he fears for his life and asks Ireland for help Seamus Culleton describes conditions as โ€˜tortureโ€™ as he pleads with taoiseach to raise his case with Donald Trump

Seamus Culleton said conditions at his detention centre in Texas were akin to โ€œtortureโ€ and that the atmosphere was volatile. โ€œIโ€™m not in fear of the other inmates. Iโ€™m afraid of the staff. Theyโ€™re capable of anything.โ€โ€

Was thinking exactly this when I read about this morning. In their hurry to pull the ladder up, the 'gay not queer' types have enabled this but I just know they're going to blame us for 'kicking up a fuss' and not keeping quiet.

These rules don't apply within the Oval Office, Air Force One, the White House Press Briefing room or basically anywhere Trump and Vance happen to be at the time (if it's being said by them, rather than to them).

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeareโ€™s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Sounds precisely what Trump is doing to Harvard.

Why don't Reform just ask Trump to run the UK too and be done with it?

Freedom of speech should be the freedom not to listen to hate speech. The far right ignore that bit.

10. The History of Sound (2026)

A recent, but immediate inclusion. This is one of those visually, aurally and narratively delicate, deftly crafted movies that stays with you... ๐Ÿ’•

There'd be no threat from Reform if you did what was promised, and you can't still blame this on the Tories.

You're doing exactly what the right does, creating fear and division so you can cling to power. You don't have to pander to bigots to help the sick, disabled and those on low incomes.

It happens to them all unfortunately. I can think of very few MPs who've been in it more than a year who doesn't appear to be courting votes to get re-elected over doing their actual job. Their priorities should be honesty, decency and service over polling figures.

That'd be such a dumb move even for him. It'd also show how much of a narcissist he's become if he did that as it'd all be about him and not the party, or the country.

It's such a huge change for everyone isn't it. I hope it'll be a positive thing for you all though ๐Ÿซ‚

9. Hightown (2020-2024)

A show set in queer paradise (aka Provincetown) with a deeply problematic (like seriously fucked up) lead trying her best. Monica Raymund shines in this ๐Ÿ’•

Goes to show that people in that sphere with that much money and that many connections think nothing of this high level of abuse. They've normalised the commodifying of people, mostly women and girls, for their own ends. It's like they're still living in the 18th Century.

In spite of the huge backwards step recently, it's still unbelievable to many of us (of a certain age) that representation like this can exist and shows what we have is worth fighting for ๐Ÿ’•
