Text post screenshot. A transgender M&S manager addresses recent articles about them. They recount an interaction in the lingerie section where they offered help to a woman and teen. The customer declined, and the manager, who isn't a bra fitter, proceeded to put away returns. Weeks later, a complaint was filed citing the manager's "deep booming masculine voice" and "masculine facial features." The manager clarifies they never offered bra fitting advice and that their colleagues are supportive. The manager's boss dismissed the complaint, affirming their support. The manager expresses distress over the complaint's personal attacks.

A screenshot of a text post from a trans woman detailing her positive experiences working at M&S after undergoing Facial Feminisation Surgery. She describes receiving support from colleagues and management, including gifts and messages, after the surgery. The post addresses a newspaper article that insinuated M&S was not supportive, clarifying that the company has been overwhelmingly supportive. The author emphasizes that M&S allows any colleague to train as a bra fitter and any customer to book an appointment, regardless of gender identity. She also clarifies that the lingerie department and walkway to menswear are not "women only" spaces and that she does not enter occupied fitting rooms. The author concludes by stating that M&S respects her as a trans woman and a valued colleague, and that the real issue is tabloid newspapers twisting stories for profit.

Information relating to the M&S complaint, reportedly from the trans woman whom the complaint was about. Almost everything claimed in recent articles is extremely inaccurate. 1/

I can't think of a better compliment than *interesting* tbh.

Grizelda the cat, a tortoiseshell demon, lazing on a grey carpet, reclining like a roman senator, with a look of utter contempt on her face.

Good morning to everyone from this little demon, who decided to wake me up by letting a mouse loose in our kitchen at 3.30 in the bloody morning

A sentence for the ages, that one.

I'd go back to the 90s - Johnson writing EU critical stories that were obvious lies (bendy bananas etc) and being lauded for it. The point where facts and reality took a back seat to "yeah, but it FEELS right".

Philomena Cunk against a collection of classical statues. "Antigone's death is even more tragic than it actually is, which makes her a tragic hero"

Philomena Cunk looking thoughtful. "Goya continued to paint tapestries until 1792 when serious illness left him dead for life"

Philomena Cunk looking thoughtfully into the distance. "Society is slowly becoming more contemporary now"

Philomena Cunk looking into camera on a beach. "Diderot's Tahiti represents a typical male fantasy in which attractive young women are eager to engage in sexual activity with the French"

@gralefrit.bsky.social You have to see these! A friend of mine has been collating a series of images entitled "Things my students have written turned into Philomena Cunk quotes" and they're just glorious.

Personally, my favourite bit is Pipedream-> Ravi Shankar -> Pete Seeger & Big Bill Broonzy. Loop pedal doing a lot of heavy lifting there...

TL - below

Record sleeve for Rob Clouth - Zero Point. A ring of light appears in the centre of some textured organic images.

Record sleeve for Organ Jazz Samba Percussion by Andre Penazzi. A naked woman is lying down in a pile of coffee beans, her faced turned up to the camera with a slight edge of 'Do I REALLY have to do this?'

Record sleeve for Eddie Harris - the reasons why I'm talking shit. A balding middle aged black man in a blue suit stands in the middle of the road holding a saxophone and looking irritated.

"Discourse" is Latin for "disco bear"

I'm somewhat ambivalent about golf as a sport, but the pure physics of this is lovely 😁

Women's Open Golf: Mimi Rhodes hits hole-in-one England's Mimi Rhodes hits a miraculous hole-in-one on the fifth hole at the Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl in Wales.

'Oh my goodness' - Rhodes hits a hole-in-one with a difference - www.bbc.com/sport/golf/v...

Two bags containing an obscene amount of vinyl records. Like, 50 or so.

AGYEMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!!!!!!!!!!!

Performing one last massive farewell hometown gig to tens of thousands of people and then dropping dead just a few days afterwards is an incredibly metal way to go out.

Amazing news. I think of the records I've lost over the years - to get a bundle like that back is incredible.

Also - banging Autonomic 12 at the front there.

Lovely show again this week - Archive is up now on Mixcloud at www.mixcloud.com/ursa/hangove....

Full tracklist:
The Tornadoes - Bustin' Surfboards
Corker Conroy - Can Of Worms (Opened up by Xela)
