Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

nope, it really happened. was it a supply teacher who was duped?

i think we watched the whole thing? must have been more than two minutes 🐽

i think you're confused – that's clearly a biscuit

[predictable argument about US/UK terminology ensues]

Donate to Help Peter David, organized by Graham Murphy Hi, friends. I'm restarting a fundraiser for Peter David and his family. Peter's health issues continue… Graham Murphy needs your support for Help Peter David

I can't imagine how many Americans are undergoing this sort of suffering and worse. Peter is a comics hero so maybe Comics Bluesky can help in some small way.

Unlike you, I get my news from a reliable source

still, i created a new wonder: mince pie mess, as it’s become known by my family

Screengrab showing posters for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, Pan’s Labyrinth, Life of Brian, Queer

pan’s labyrinth= still amazing; life of brian= still amazing but some jokes are cringe today; queer = stellar performances from craig, melville and schwartzman but overall disappointing; wallace & gromit = unadulterated joy #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

A baking dish containing a half-eaten mince pie pudding

salvaged it by adapting @nigella.bsky.social’s stale croissant pudding and was delicious!

A baking tray with spaces for 12 mince pies, containing 12 destroyed mince pies

went a bit wrong, probably shouldn’t have pressed *quite* so hard into the tray

is this the sort of thing? more of a pre-written set of answers to oppose than decoding bsky.app/profile/jake...

not quite #letterboxdfriday: sky peals = k*pax in a service station; gamara vs gyaos = kaiju kraziness courtesy of @tokenhomo.bsky.social; in camera = imtriguing; guinea fowl = quietly devastating and astonishing

* never happened

i’m jealous. working in a comic shop is / was one of my dream jobs that never had (although with the concern about making your passion your job etc)

Holy mother, just what I didn't know I was looking for. Trying to rekindle my love of comics after some years away and this is a fantastic starter pack

mixed bag - conclave and uncle boonmee were great, taxi hasn’t aged well, madagascar 2 was inflicted by my nephew (kinda fun but strong neo-colonialsit vibes)

something worthy for any spare cash lying around
