I like to think there's a little something for everyone here. There isn't, but I can think what I want.

Took the kids to a bday party yesterday. One of the kids kept whispering in the ear of other children at the party, dragging them off somewhere for a few minutes at a time. She did it to my youngest, and when I asked him about it that night he said, "we were just going to see the god in the mirror"

Cultivating a deranged detachment from global affairs where everything is "terrible news for the world" and I think oh that must suck for the people who live there

The state of mainstream trans discourse is that a morning show presenter will conspiracise about carceral consequences for transphobia while the West has declared a crusade against trans healthcare and trans existence.

Snowy ledge overlooking a town far below shrouded in grey cloud.

Battled to the edge of what I thought was a cliff edge here to admire the view. 30 seconds later some bloke pops up from the other side, jogging. And wearing shorts.

Yep Hadley Freeman reprinted this lie in her Guardian column, and refused to apologise for it.

The Graun printed the most graceless retraction possible, never retweeted it or apologised z
