'This battle needs to be fought on the beaches. This battle needs to be fought on the beaches of France.'

Radio 2 'discussion' about the migrant boats coming over the channel because Trump said it's destroying the UK from within and we should use our military.

I can't even.

Teachers are so often a glue that holds society together.

“My trans friends have brought nothing but joy, kindness and light to my life. Hearing so many of their journeys of pain, fear, loss and exclusion to get to where they are now, their authentic selves, and seeing how happy, fulfilled and full of hope they now are brings me much joy and respect for them.” #WhyWeSigned Image of a Black woman in pink workout gear.

Literally at the bit where Scipio's setting fire to the camps!

Enjoying listening with @chairleg.bsky.social to the latest #YoureDeadToMe episode with @gregjenner.bsky.social - all about Hannibal of Carthage and his war with Rome.

And then we saw this... 👀🐘

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

I once read a comment saying something like "if you choose not to laugh at farts, your life will contain less laughter but still the same amount of farts". I think about that a lot.

That was a rollercoaster of a penalty shoot out. Lucky lucky lucky!

But also YAY!!! #lionesses

YouTube video by Rick Astley Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Music Video)

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable.

The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found':

People have genuine, serious, concerns which need to be recognised and addressed. The problem is they keep being told that these concerns are caused by immigration, and when you are struggling you will take what you can as a reason.

I can't even...

If you want to live in the UK, you should speak English. That's common sense. So we're raising English language requirements across every main immigration route.

Spain, you could do the funniest thing right now...

Dont worry about Reform. I know that Led by Donkeys is about to project something so scathing, that every Reform voter in the UK will be crying and trying to swap their vote for Sir Keir. Trust the process. 💪

Everything. Else. Is. A. Galaxy.

But where are Metalla and Quintus??

Discussing people listening/talking on phones without headphones. Invited etiquette expert basically blamed immigrants, saying the drop in behaviour standards was because of them and 'they' didn't understand 'the ways of our country'. This went unquestioned. BBC doing Reform's work for them.

Pretty sickened by UK's Supreme Court 🤮

So I'm opening my submission inbox to unagented trans authors in the UK until the END OF APRIL. I'm not currently open to general subs BUT if you're a trans author writing folk horror, weird, experimental, mystery, literary/upmkt fiction, take a look below 👇

This was enthralling

Katy Perry blasts off with all-women crew on Blue Origin rocket Six women—including pop star Katy Perry—are set to blast off into space as part of an all-women suborbital mission

I hate this. An entire generation is growing up seeing space as a pointless indulgence of the rich while the planet burns. One giant leap for someone else.
