Yeah I've read the little pamphlet that came with that one. Being trans wasn't mentioned a single time, which seems to surprise people way more than it should

Quick, somebody pass me my frilliest dress and teach me how to drop my voice *real* low, I wanna try something

They're called Cool Original in the UK, assuming they're functionally the same thing

I'm pretty sure that the only reason that a bunch of them haven't been challenged left and right already is because the people most likely to do the challenging are on their side and recognise their faces

It's true, we delicate cis women cannot possibly be expected to bear such an indignity. You must exclusively access the wooly hats via a grotty back staircase that smells of piss and has "TRANZ" scrawled hastily on a wall in red crayon

Exactly. All cis women doing the painting at the one we go to but cis men go there to get their nails done no problem. Funny how the bigoted shitbag who rang up to complain only cared about trans women having nice things though. The salon basically told her to go fuck herself, which pleases me

This sort of horseshit has emboldened local transphobes to decide that fucking *nail salons* are somehow single sex spaces. They're clearly not above lying about any old bollocks they please. Look how well rewarded they've been for it, after all

Oh no, no TV Tropes? D:

This is a grave emergency, possibly necessitating an underground bunker full of assorted desserts and tinned pasta

I already don't have the space I need to house all of my physical books so e-books are a fantastic solution for me. I'm not a big fan of audiobooks but that is very much a personal sensory preference and not at all a statement on their validity. They're all worthy methods of engaging with literature

Every Christmas ad in the UK:
How do you feel about…
Old people? *sad* old people?
Babies? Pregnancy! Nostalgia about babies? Children with nostalgia? Um…
Talking vegetables? *sad* talking vegetables? Characters from your childhood books? Talking to babies? Nostalgic babies?
Uh
Um
CRY DAMN YOU, CRY!

This is incredible! This might actually be my favourite rendition of Meadowlark I've heard!

Same. The more they nag me, the more they radicalise me against them

"Digital asbestos" is such an evocative way of describing it. It truly is everywhere, seeping into the groundwater and tainting everything it touches

I rewatched this film recently for the first time in over a decade and I was very struck by how, if anything, it feels more relevant now than when it came out. Or maybe I'm just paying more attention now than I was 20 years ago

Oh wow. All of my grandparents are long dead and I got literally nothing. My uncle just died too and I don't think I'm in line to get anything from that either. Even when my parents go there won't be that much to inherit. It's almost like most of us have to make our way without such things

Every time I see somebody unironically saying something akin to "we don't do that here" in the wild, I treat myself to a quick check of how old their account is. Invariably they're more of a newcomer than the person they're chastising. That always tickles me

Bloody hell, I haven't bothered keeping up with Glinner lore but he just gets worse doesn't he? Is this racism new or was he just doing a better job of hiding it before? And you'd think he'd have learned by now that sniping about appearance is not a glass house he should be throwing any stones in

I went the other way. I was pretty centrist as a teen/young adult but actually having to move through the world drove me leftwards with every new bit of bullshit I was obliged to engage with

Close-up of a ginger cat from the above image. The cat wears an inscrutable expression of half-lidded boredom. As if breaking humanity's silliest tech for its own good is all in a day's work

The cats have come to save us. Behold, puny human, gaze upon the face of your salvation

I remember. It was a helluva thing. At least we were all watching it together

Bloody hell that looks well tidy

Oh bugger. That is a long ass time to wait

Yeah, it's been over 2 years here and nobody's called me a groomer or gleefully fantasised about me getting raped in a public toilet yet. That was a several-times-a-week occurrence before

Yes! Exactly! My hair is past my bum and I fly through conditioner at easily 2-3 times the speed that I get through shampoo

Maybe the fact that I'm married to a trans immigrant and all you have to offer either of those demographics is hostility renders anything else Labour has to say utterly moot, hmm? Far too little and far, far too late

Each day we stray further from god's light and usually I'd be fine with that. Usually

Please, yes, I will take one of each

I used to keep copious notes, but then more and more games started keeping a log of important information for me so I fell out of the habit of doing it myself. I should get back into it. My notekeeping has never been *this* pretty, however

You were so fantastic in them. In the hands of a lesser artist Joey could have come across as grating but you gave him just the right mix of gravitas and charm to make him compelling

What the fuck would he know?
