Every fucking gig there's maybe one song played that I somehow don't know, and then a week later I decide its the best song ever and am furious I can't hear it live again. My brain actually hates me, I think.

Asking Nick Clegg anything results in my brain imploding and my spine dissolving so you know whatever.

Will be honest, as an immigrant living here, now naturalised, the way we get spoken about really makes me quite sick

Lol cunts.

Whether it's demonising trans people, sportswashing reputations, being bribed like your life depends on it, being greedy cunts, being hypocrits, removing clubs from their communities, turning fans against each other, they just love to ruin the thing they claim to protect. Sports is absolutely done.

Fuck the FA. Fuck the ECB. fuck UEFA and FIFA and Matchroom and Queesbury and the IOC and LIV and TKO. Fuck just about every big team owner. Fuck multiclub ownership. Fuck the players that wear rainbow laces then help to uphold authoritarian bigotry.

I would say “these transphobes won’t stop until they get someone killed” but we already know that even that won’t stop them.

They already have blood on their hands and they don’t care.

The Telegraph NHS to test all 'trans' children for autism Every child referred to a gender clinic will be screened under new guidance following Cass Review The NHS will test all children who believe they are transgender for autism under new plans seen by The Telegraph.

Remember all that time I spent on Twitter banging on about how “gender critical” fascists keep talking about autism because they wanted the ability to deny autistic people, as well as trans people, bodily autonomy. Well, thanks to the widely discredited Cass Review, oh fuck, we’re heading there.

It's so deeply, deeply horrible and depressingly unsurprising :(

LEAN INTO IT GODDAMMIT

She wasn't even a good writer, you were just 12.

Emilia Perez getting so many Oscar nominations is perfectly reflective of our time — the voices of actual trans people are being drowned out by the roaring applause of cis people congratulating themselves for performative support.

Hello friends! I think, for me, social media is just gonna keep making me unwell. I thought it might feel different in different places, but I'm not sure it does. So if you'd like to keep in touch drop me a line, and I'll catch you all somewhere else. Love 💜

I suppose the good thing about Musk doing the salute is that it did actually distract me from my current existential dread with a different type of existential fury for a little bit. So, yay?

i hate the “x is a distraction from y” formula of thinking. different things happen at the same time. you can pay attention to multiple things at the same time. buying into “distraction” narrative exists just to give you an out for deciding to ignore things.

BBC Politics tweet from today: "She needed to make sure that everything that she was spending, she could afford" Chancellor Rachel Reeves tells @bbcnickrobinson about childhood memories of her mother's budgeting at home.

absolutely insane that every single chancellor trots out some version of this story at some point in their tenure to demonstrate that they’re qualified to handle the economy, when even *pretending* to believe these are relevant experiences should actually be *dis*qualifying

The Gaiman article doing the rounds is not a fun read, regardless of having first-hand experience of abuse I'd imagine, but it is extraordinarily brave of everyone involved and entirely distressing that people keep having to divulge every grim detail to be heard.

Just about everyone who is a survivor will never be surprised when it comes out that ANOTHER fucking person is capable of these sorts of things, truly.

Politics ‘Mainlined into UK’s veins’: Labour announces huge public rollout of AI Plans to make UK world leader in AI sector include opening access to NHS and other public data

Technology companies including Microsoft, Anthropic and OpenAI welcomed the plan as Starmer said the “AI industry needs a government that is on their side”. Regulators will be told to “actively support innovation”, setting up a potential clash with people who believe regulators’ primary role should be to protect the public from harm.

Either Keir Starmer is the biggest mark to ever live or he's still hoping for a few 'freebies' from his corpo mates. I cannot understate how atrocious this is.

Non-consenual BDSM isn't a thing! That's just rape and assault! A core part of BDSM is consent!

Repeat after me: the billionaires use divide-and-conquer to protect the wealth they stole from everyone else.

I'm honestly more invested in this happening than any sort of greater good in the world

Ricky fucking Gervais being dead edgy and cool and daring with his homophobic rape jokes.

From a room above a pub to The Golden Globes, there is no level of attainment a woman can achieve as a standup where there won’t be a bloke sat at the back with his ‘edgy’ mates saying what brilliant jokes he’d be telling if he was on stage.

Lol jesus h christ

please spread my craft,
only one sale in a month! 💓

Following this up in the cold light of day makes me want to say.. actually mum gets it now, because of what we all had to go through, so not sorry mum. Love you mum, love you dad xx

It's not often that you can say "someone lived far, far too long a life" but there are enough people we can be glad died i guess. Fuck off you dead piece of shit.

Thank you pal, it really does mean a lot 💜
