Went in for hydrocortisone injections on Wednesday. She did once and my body went NOPE and I passed right the fuck out.
BUT it made a difference almost immediately and my knee feels AMAZING

as we watch bluesky have yet another full-scale moderation meltdown over whether or not you're allowed to say "rip in piss" about a dead nazi podcaster, i'd like to take a moment to remind everyone who sent us death threats over cohost's moderation that you don't know how fucking good you had it

Im rewatching the first Captain America movie because dammit sometimes you need a story about heroes. In it, the scientist Erskine says, "So many people forget that the first country the Nazis invaded was their own."

I mean, dang. That's good writing in any case, but right now? It hits hard.

UK friends, those of us eligible for a free flu jab can now books in a lot of places. Even if you're not eligible for a free one they're pretty cheap and it's absolutely worth it, please get one if you can.

Noted previously unvaxxed man dies shortly after receiving his first shot.

Alien: Earth is really good yo

Looking up a recipe and I have encountered the worst possible phrasing I've seen: 'pour in approximately one-fifth of the quantity of your chosen fluid'

Why

The fact that my new card had to come with a warning not to post pictures of it with the number visible 🙄

Delighted to announce that I am EVEN more hated by the Daily Mail than I was yesterday as my PIP application was APPROVED! 🎉

It might not seem like much to you but I promise you, you will make a difference to someone, and you might not even notice.
The world is becoming a very frightening place for LGBTQ people and it can feel very lonely. Knowing there are cishet people who support us makes a huge difference.

If you are cishet, and an ally, please consider wearing something that lets queer people know you are. It doesn't have to be big, or ostentatious, even just a little pin or something.

It makes my heart happy when I get someone visibly queer or wearing a 'you are safe to be yourself with me ' pin or something.

And I only remembered yesterday but a customer came through my till the other day in the BEST dress I have ever seen. Sky blue fabric with hot air balloons all over and all the balloons were different pride flags.

This is my second favourite. I always knew Kevin was an ally. #pride #queer #photography

Person in a rainbow pride tshirt, hat and sunglasses, carrying a small terrier type dog who looks like they are enjoying it. The dog is also wearing a rainbow bandana.

Still going through my photos from yesterday but I think this is my favourite so far #pride #dogsofbluesky #photography

Bristol pride today. It was so lovely I cried at least twice. Plenty of support for our trans family too which made me happy.
I got talking to a group of disabled trans lads who were so welcoming and invited me to march with them. One of them does WHEELCHAIR FENCING. How awesome is that 😮

'Decanted' is a great word for unboxing a clone.

Unrelated, I started watching Foundation.

Nonbinary flag with the words "BACK PAIN RELIEF"

I wish all of my nonbinary friends relief from back pain

Oh absolutely not. I just find gigs and stuff like that difficult 😂I meant no shade to the Thekla

It's pride tomorrow and I am SO goddamn excited. I haven't been since 2022, I think.
Also I am delighted to learn that political parties have been banned from Bristol Pride since 2023.

If “sexually explicit” books aren’t allowed on the shelves but the Bible is, what are they going to do about Song of Solomon? Someone ask them please, I want to watch the mental gymnastics.

Man it's a hot one

'Important' phone from gay helpline on display at Bristol Museum A phone used to support thousands of LGBTQ+ people from 1975 until 2012 has gone on display.

So I am absolutely going to this exhibit

Bob Vylan are playing on Bristol tonight and if I wasn't ♿I'd absolutely be going

6 pictures. One is a collection of shots of the SH Figuarts Superman action figure, the rest are pictures of Shooter McGavin from the movie Happy Gilmore. The face of the superman figure really does look like him.

For reference

There's a bunch of figures for the new Superman and someone pointed out that the headsculpt on a few of them looks way more like Shooter McGavin and I cannot unsee it

You really can just delete your twitter btw. There’s no way the algorithm is still working for you if you’re an even halfway decent person.

FR though WTF were they on when they recorded the french pokemon dubs?
