I usually follow back if you reply or like my post.
I remember some friends here “nominating” me. In an ideal world, I might have been an ideal candidate. However, I can’t do this, as I quite enjoy my complete freedom of speech and don’t wish to give that up.
It’s not too late, and there is a real desire for people from the trans community to apply

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Hong Kong fire update: 128 people have been confirmed dead, and 150 remain unaccounted for.

The two towers with the least damage have been fully searched, with no human remains found. Five towers still need to be searched.

What?
I read an article on the BBC a couple of days ago where they quoted a study claiming adolescence lasts until 32! I’m not sure many 30 year olds would appreciate being called children!

Minister defends 'pragmatic' U-turn on workers' rights.

It was a manifesto pledge

Why no 'pragmatic' U-turn' on nationalising water, energy, rail rolling stock companies and freight; ending privatisation of the NHS and social care; taxing the super rich?

Bridget Phillipson told the BBC the climbdown would enable wider benefits to be delivered quickly.

But of course the sex that is changed as the result of gender reassignment is not the same sex that doesn't change as the result of gender reassignment, and this is because of the need for consistency and clarity.

1/🧵 I appreciate this message of condolence, and many of my friends in Hong Kong feel the same.

And hey, I study colonial history. It may be a small detail, but can I point out the nearest hospital to the Hong Kong fire was the Prince of Wales Hospital and named in honour of Charles himself.

Maybe everyone misheard, maybe the judge in the Graham Linehan case was calling him an "incredible witness", as in "difficult or impossible to believe; extraordinary"?

I’m sure a landlord must have a profound connection to Britain’s working class.
This is quite literally “I could not post normal on Twitter dot com for just a few months, so I made an absolute cunt of myself and then flounced off in the huff because members of the public told me I am an arsehole. Again, to be clear, all of this happened on Twitter dot com.”

Sweet and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the firefighters from Hong Kong are now serving with Cheshire Fire and Rescue. There is a very sizeable Hong Kong diaspora community in Warrington. When I was covering the Brianna Ghey murder trial, I actually stayed at my Hong Kong friend’s place there.

People keep saying "young people have had it hard for ages in the UK" without realising that means that anyone under the age of 35 has had it hard their entire adult lives.

LBC currently: Former army veteran now business owner, leaving the country with his family and business to go to Sweden, because of a series of corrupt, vitriolic governments here.

Because...of FARAGE and LABOUR, lack of leadership, and vitriol. He's consciously going to a HIGHER TAX COUNTRY!!!!

1/🧵 My friends in Hong Kong are furious about reports suggesting that bamboo scaffolding contributed to the massive fire there. One of them, a well-connected lobbyist, has even been messaging journalists to request corrections and has publicly called the coverage orientalist.

Throughout my 20s, I wore an AIDS awareness red ribbon pretty much everyday.
My friends were dying. It’s what we did.
AIDS is not over.
630,000 people died of it last year.
1 December is #WorldAIDSDay.
