I missed out on tickets for Gang of Four at Brudenell - if anyone has any spare, give me a nudge; I beg you 🙏

Omg hahaha that’s actually quite funny!

A woman sees another woman minding her own fucking business in the bathroom. She wasn’t talked to or approached in any way and YET it is still an issue for the terf.

Get the fuck out. Respectfully

Apologies for bringing screenshots from such a grim platform to Bluesky 🙏 x

A TERF upset that someone made a beer that’s not for bigots, tweeted “Went to a gig last night. This was one of the beers they had on tap. Women who belief in biological facts are not welcome”

Hey (beer) peeps!
The lovely Anthology Brew are getting a lot of hate from TERFs/bigots in the Other Place; so I need you all to go give the brewery some love and drink all of their amazing beer!

Don’t be afraid to Like people/send messages. Some will ignore you or conversations dwindle but always all worth a shot. Don’t take things personally

I was more than ready to give up (it’s draining at times) but I met someone & we’re still together almost a year later.

(PS ALWAYS smiley photos!) 💖

Take it all with a pinch of salt- it’s tough but at least you’re meeting new people and it can be a bit fun.
I tried Hinge (was ok) and Match (also ok) - last time for 6months which I think was my limit (all profiles shown start to re appear over and over & it’s pointless after a while)

Be honest, have recent pics of you doing stuff you love doing (that’s a huge plus and great/interesting way to show who you are!) avoid pics in gyms, toilets (you’d be surprised how many men do this!!), inside or in front of your car or pics of just your cats or dogs

Ok here goes - been on and off on dating sites so I have A CHUNK of advice.
The bad news: Online dating can be soul destroying. There’s people that misrepresent themselves, that are mean, ghost you or just don’t click with you & disappointment is guaranteed.

Ah no I’m so sad to see this 💔 sending loads of love x

Ah shit sounds like our pine tree 😭 it was so SO tall too (you know, I don’t know if it’s still there!)
Don’t beat yourself up about it- we were/are “natives” to southern Spain and that shit still managed to take us by surprise and we had to ask for help!!!

It came back some times (not many - a couple of times in a bunch of years) but by then we knew to look out for it & catch it before it spread much.

PS. Your new house looks AMAZING. Don’t let the caterpillars convince you otherwise (plus those trees are super lucky to have you guys there!)

Ah mate I’ve just seen this- got procesionaria at my parents house when I was young and I feel your pain.
It’s a ballache (you know this) & you have to cut and burn it (you know this too ofc); good news is, after a few weeks/months of hard work, we got rid of it!! YOU GOT THIS 🙏💚

Btw yes I am fully aware this is outing me as a “double whammy”geek (games & LoTR)
And yes I also know it’s a small thing but it’s that kind of micro aggression that really can fuck up your experience. Specially with a game that requires you to read instructions every 2 mins

War of the Ring board game which according to developers is only played by men because instructions are all addressed to “he or him”

Recently started playing this game & FFS WOULD IT KILL GAME DEVELOPERS TO ASSUME WOMEN PLAY BOARDGAMES TOO?!? Instructions manual is all addressed to “he” for the player…🤢

The YEAR IS 2025 FFS

(rant over…for now)

BrewDog: how the anarchic brewery went from progressive to problematic The unorthodox Scottish brewers have made a name for themselves over the last 17 years by making headlines with bold and outlandish marketing strategies, often in response to rulings and criticisms. W...

Here’s a bit of background on how not nice they are

I hear you but for the record, Brewdog has never been and indeed isn’t a nice company

Dunno but try blocking AI profiles*

*(You can’t!)

AH so Bluesky just confirmed it’s just as shit as X.

My New Year’s resolution (ie social media detox), is going to be a doddle 🥳

It is happening, folks.
Go buy that special someone the present they always wanted for Christmas 😜🥳🥳🎄

A Christmas tree shaped Victoria sponge with a humongous amount of whipped cream and raspberry jam. The cake is decorated with colourful sprinkles on the top in shape of candy cane & flowers

Last weekend my 7yo niece & I baked the best Christmas cake there ever was (Victoria sponge ofc) & it was fluffy & delicious thanks to @nigella.bsky.social recipe.
Also can we all agree that my niece’s cream to cake ratio was PERFECT 🤩 🙏

I will mute/block/hide any transphobic comments on my mentions.
Go do that bullshit somewhere else

Guardian article: Cillian Murphy as Voldemort? Everything we know about HBO's Harry Potter TV show Details are beginning to emerge about the 'decade-long' adaptation of JK Rowling's books - with some starry actors reportedly in negotiations

A section of the article in the guardian: Will JK Rowling be involved? Yes. Warner Bros is producing the series in association with Rowling's company Brontë Film and TV, and Rowling is one of the series' executive producers. Rowling has ownership over key aspects of the Harry Potter IP - namely, the characters - meaning Warner Bros had to make a deal with her in order to green light their series. More on this topic Harry Potter fans boo as King's Cross ends back to Hogwarts' tradition And from the get-go, her involvement has been divisive. Rowling's opinions about trans people in recent years have drawn criticism from the LGBTQI+ community, fans of her books and even some of the stars of the Harry Potter films.

And article continues: Despite this, Bloys said on Thursday that he's "totally comfortable" with Rowling's involvement and "not concerned about consumer response". Who will be in the show? HBO hasn't confirmed any cast at this point, though various trade publications have begun saying who is in the running. Variety reports that Warner Bros has reached out to Mark Rylance to play Dumbledore. The Hollywood Reporter reported sources confirming that Paapa Essiedu has been offered the role of Severus Snape. There are also rumours that Cillian Murphy is being considered for Voldemort.

Pretty sad thatcertain actors I love may actually be involved in this nonsense.

Aside from further enriching a transphobe, having another HP film/series is just very fucking dull specially when there’s plenty of better (written) stories about magic & wizards.

So Fuck this all the way off

Some peeps on Bluesky may not be aware so here goes:

Leeds Town Hall is closed for refurb (new spaces, restoring Victoria hall decorative scheme and organ renovation, etc).

If you/your company have some spare funds here’s some info on how to get involved www.leedstownhall.co.uk/support-us/
🙏🙏🙏

Someone replies with “better than paint enema guy” to a tweet (?!) that consists of 3 vignettes/drawings which basically poke fun (and rightly so imho) at the guy famous on IG for spilling paint off a suspended bucket on to a canvas

The person who mentioned the “paint enema guy” replies to someone asking about it with “you heard me. Google exists”

Can someone Google this for me & give me a brief summary?
Thanks 🙏

KATE- hellooooooo 💖🥳

What?! You don’t shout at the TV or chip in to radio debates/news etc etc?
High recommend - very therapeutic 🧘🏻

Oh WOW - I didn’t know he was playing the Brude 😭

Thank you so much 🙏

Thank you!!!!! 🙏🙏
