Imagine you’re a pioneering gay and civil rights icon and almost 50 years after you were assassinated a corporate fast food business uses your name as a pun to sell a seasonal dessert - I would be off the charts levels of Conjuring and Insidious pissed off haunting

Screenshot: “PantiBar, too, is out of the question, as I profoundly disagree with its owner when it comes to issues of gender identity. And anyway, finding an actual gay man or lesbian to talk to in any of those venues these days would be like hoping to run into Drake at a Kendrick Lamar concert”

I take it as an enormous badge of honour that professional whinger John Boyne refuses to go to Pantibar. And indeed clearly he has never been there if he thinks you won’t find “actual” gays and lesbians there lol

The maths behind the public votes at Eurovision 2025 Pollster Kevin Cunningham explains how the nature of Eurovision voting influenced the outcome

The maths behind the public votes at Eurovision 2025 -

Makes sense, particularly when you consider the people who definitely wouldn't vote for Israel are most likely boycotting #Eurovision so the voting pool is smaller and easier for the Genocide supporting voters.

… I am *once again* asking everybody else to have the same energy for boycott when it comes to the Olympics and the World Cup and all the other events *you* enjoy that aren’t closely associated with the gay community. Cos every year I have thoughts about that

Pantibar is not showing the Eurovision again this year and we’re sad about that. Was always a brilliant night and the community has always thoroughly enjoyed the camp extravaganza. But showing it doesn’t feel right for us in the current circumstances.

However…

If people feel like chucking a little money at a feline cause, my friend & neighbour rescued a pregnant cat, and is trying to get them to the vet, and then rehomed.

Or if you want a kitten in London, I guess?

And to be so very clear, JKR has openly stated that the money she makes from Harry Potter (in all its forms, right now) goes directly to conservative and specifically anti-trans causes.

Do not financially engage with Harry Potter. Don't even engage with it for free. It's a Faustian IP, do not.

If it walks like a Nazi, talks like a Nazi, and salutes like a Nazi…

Keep the online pressure up, friends. And boycott Tesla.

Ex-U.S. Ambassador To Russia Names The 'Giant Winner' In Trump-Vance Clash With Zelenskyy Michael McFaul said he's never seen such a "colossal failure of American diplomacy" after the contentious White House meeting.

Michael McFaul said he's never seen such a "colossal failure of American diplomacy" after the contentious White House meeting.

Trump-Zelenskiy clash ‘very unsettling’, says Taoiseach ahead of White House trip Micheál Martin says he was ‘looking forward’ to meeting US president, stressing ‘two-way relationship’ between Ireland and America

Trump-Zelenskiy clash ‘very unsettling’, says Taoiseach. unsettling, he says, respect the person you’re meeting, he says of Trump - respect an adjudged rapist, a misogynist, a racist, & an authoritarian #putinpuppet!! not in our name, no respect for the orange 💩

Two photos: One shows Zelenskyy in a black quarter zip at the White House meeting, the other shows Elon Musk in a black graphic t-shirt, black topcoat, and black ball cap, also meeting with the Trump cabinet.

One reason why I think respectability is stupid is because it's often used as a mask. Such judgements are rarely about the clothes themselves, but more often about the bodies beneath them. To wit, no one raised an issue when Elon wore a graphic t-shirt and ball cap to meet the Trump cabinet.

Spero che quello che è successo con Zelensky sia catalizzatore di un'Europa unita che si liberi di usa e russia una volta per tutte.
