One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Maybe this is a bit obvious, but:
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

I love Mariah Carey, which is why I often joke about her. Someone told me she’s also a musician
Mariah Carey is probably the most visible person who owns their Bipolar and my heart absolutely breaks for what she’s going through.
I hope she has support. I typically bring a lot of disdain in to my celebrity commentary but I just love her for how open she has been.

There was a trans character on Coronation St in 1998(!) for a decade and no one gave a fuck apart from a small minority of bigots who were largely ignored.
Image the #discourse if Corrie, or EastEnders introduced a trans character at the moment.

It is incredible to me how made up this issue is. No one gave a shit ten years ago. Sure there were your individual mad, ignorant bigots but *Theresa May* was pushing for self-ID because it was the last little bit of logistical sorting out of a settled question: we're ok with Trans people
