Welcome, teens coming here from tiktok. I think you’ll find that through the magic of the written word I am able to craft sentences that are as vivid and compelling as any short-form video!

Word of the day is ‘catch-fart’ (17th century: an obsequious individual who will always follow the political wind.

I have only once. I made a garlic bread that was so spicy it burned the mouth on consumption. Not something I thought was possible.

Garlic in my cooking and vanilla extract in my baking share one guiding principle: I add them with wild abandon, defying the recipe with a mix of audacity and playful disdain.

Petition: Automatic fast track benefits for anyone diagnosed with a terminal illness. I call on the government to automatically fast track anyone diagnosed with a terminal illness, not just those in their final year of life, so they can get essential financial support. We think this wo...

Afternoon Reece the petition has finally gone live,can I ask you to personally ask your followers to sign it & also verify the email they send or it won't count.This affects us all as anyone can be diagnosed with a terminal illness

On this day lets remember the wise words of the late, great Dawn Foster

And now I’ll never sleep again. 😱

nobody was bothered about trans ppl existing 7 years ago.

everything that pisses you off about us is entirely fabricated by news media and politicians.

every concern you have about our healthcare being ‘experimental’ is a lie.

nothing you think you know is accurate.

Banning puberty blockers for trans kids but still allowing them for cis kids feels very much like discriminating against a set of patients based on their protected characteristic.

That’s all the “cheese bought for Christmas” eaten again. Will have to buy some more cheese for Christmas now. And then I’ll eat that too, and be required to go out to buy some more cheese for Christmas. Stuck in a Christmas cheese loop.

All I want is a cottage in the countryside, a newly-fallen snow, a crackling fire, a riveting novel, a kettle on the stove, and a healthy amount of freshly-baked scones.

Sorry we’re not riding at dawn. We’re having coffee and catastrophizing the day at dawn. Then we’re doing Wordle. Then we’re doing 35 minutes of doomscrolling, then we’re taking the longest hottest shower, then we’re sitting on the edge of the bed staring at nothing for a while, THEN maybe we ride.

Have you considered bribing him? I hear that’s what it takes. You can buy an MP for not much these days.

The two panel scooby doo meme where Fred reveals the identity of the villain. The top panel has Wes streeting’s face over Fred and says “it’s really difficult to be a transgender young person in the UK. Let’s find out what’s causing that.” The lower panel features Wes as the revealed villain

Listening to Wes talk about how trans people are unheard particularly annoyed me and I turn my irritation into shitposts unfortunately

With me it’s hotels. Now I’ve had a taste of men in bowler hats opening doors for me, free mini bars, cocktail lounges, silver service breakfast in bed, riverside views etc… the Travelodge doesn’t land the same way. 😂

4 panel comic Panel 1: Pink guy and White guy are having a chat. White guy: Urrrgh! I’m so sick of immigrants! I’m moving to another country Panel 2: Pink guy: So, you’re gonna become an immigrant? Panel 3: White Guy: Well yeah, but I’m white, so y’know… Panel 4: White guy: Not like, an immigrant immigrant

what right wingers mean when they say immigrant

Here are my book recommendations for the new year:

Read the books you already bought.

Never give up hope that, one day, you will pull a book from a bookshelf and that secret door will finally open for you.

When I see the news stories about the puberty blocker ban, I think about the little guy on the left. He's about nine here. He already knows he's a boy. His year group are having relationships and sex education at school, covering in detail all the changes that someone assigned female at birth can expect as they progress into adolescence. Most kids in his class find it quite funny. They're talking about sex and body parts with nine year olds, after all. He's not laughing. He's hoping, praying every night, that by some kind of magic he'll wake up one day and never have to go through that. Puberty blockers are that kind of magic. They would have stopped all the pain he's about to go through. The tears streaming down his face at a Travelodge in London as his period comes on early and he's tormented by his birth sex a week before he anticipated. The despair he experiences as he progresses up another cup size and an oversized hoodie isn't enough to hide his chest anymore. Hiding at his university halls instead of exploring a new city and going on adventures with friends because he's too afraid his body will betray him and he'll be misgendered from sunrise to sunset. It's too late for me. By the time I was able to start medically transitioning, they would have had no effect. It's not too late for today's trans kids. Fight for them.

JKR’s tweets are disgusting and increasingly demented. But unless you’re on Twitter - that’s the bulk of the UK public - you’d have NO IDEA what she’s like. Because Brit media ignores it. Unless of course it’s something they can spin as “Women’s Rights champ JKR attacked for no reason whatsoever.”

if you like christmas so much why don’t you merry it

Kiss me passionately in the secluded corner of a used bookstore on a cobblestone side street in Prague during a raging thunderstorm, or kindly stop wasting my time.
