I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it.

So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

we honestly expected the gap to be bigger - but then we're Old and the uk didn't used to care much about hallowe'en

point - we hadn't noticed they were equal in that bar

therefore not so sure about "he didn't lose the cishets" but turns out it didn't matter - and perhaps the cishets not voting for him were just racists instead anyway

this is very telling (even though it's only an exit poll)

we were referring to "speak" because we were specifically writing about the eleven ways to say "ough" out loud and the absence of rules as to which is which - but more broadly we would use the word "learn" to cover all the aspects you were rightly mentioning

New Research Reveals How the Nazis Targeted Transgender People Last year, a German court acknowledged the possibility that trans people were persecuted by the Nazis

this was an intense read, and vindication that queer and trans people were victims of the holocaust too (and also the first time we've ever seen use of the bald term "murdered" to describe what happened in the nazi concentration camps)

we didn't join in yesterday but we have had in our head the following for the last couple of years "look on my works ye mighty and play despacito"

okay we shit you not, we just had a dream in which we were perched on a sumptuous ottoman, giving Oscar Wilde a foot massage - and (why??) we asked him if he'd ever seen a cybertruck, and he smiled demurely and murmured "ah, the picture of delorian gray"
