I am not an angel and do not pretend to be. That is not one of my roles. But I am not a devil, either. I am a woman and a serious artist, and I would like so to be judged. #MariaCallas
Hope you all enjoy the Big Parade today, Earthlets.

"Writing is finally about one thing: going into a room alone and doing it. Putting words on paper that have never been there in quite that way before.”
William Goldman, who died on this day in 2018
I have to feel what I do. I have to like people to be with them. I just cannot learn the art of being a hypocrite. I wish I could. #MariaCallas
Unlike its domestic rivals, Chrysler opted not to design its own small car for North America at the start of the '70s. Instead it imported the Hillman Avenger from its UK subsidiary, rebranding it as the Plymouth Cricket. A fairly short-lived model, it mainly sold as a 4-door sedan. #weirdcarbs

Referring to the BBC reports is repeating myths. The reports were mendacious. Please watch the video I posted. Facts are boring, but they remain facts.
Please watch the video. Tge contemporary BBC reports were a bad faith hatchet job about something that had happened some time before the reports.
Both, I think, plus trying to get hot dates with Hitler in the case of Unity; but Yorkshire has no need of evil autocrats with personality cults. It's already got Geoff Boycott.

Gin and tonic? Not Happy Shopper Valu Vodka? Sounds like the sort of thing the Mitfords would get up to.
Saw someone strutting through town today, ostentatiously swigging Perrier straight out of a litre bottle. Very aggressive act - white cider is appropriate on Briggate, NOT Perrier.
Hey, we've all done that.
This is a hate crime.
This is the oppression ladder in action. A black lesbian counts for less than a white man who claims to be a woman.
BTW: this man has served time for drug dealing and has domestic abuse on his record.
How can anyone think this is OK?
The power of pub myth!
It is disappointing to see you repeating long debunked pub myths. The Beta survivor rate is greater than that of its rivals.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
So the Renters' Rights Bill completed Parliament today. It has taken some time and I think we've forgotten what an important and really substantial piece of legislation it is. A huge and valuable change is coming (even if we don't know exactly when yet).
