In 2012, a Conservative government awarded April Ashley, a trans woman, an MBE for "services to trans equality".
How far are we from a Labour government revoking that award, because trans people don't deserve equality?

the bbc changed their article from saying 'trans woman' to saying 'biological male who identifies as a woman'.
even if you don't care about trans ppl it should alarm you just how captured the bbc has become.
they will no longer even say 'trans woman'. that's not normal and shows massive bias.

Pineapple ham is one of my favorites that I rarely have so I am saving this for a special occasion
Since everyone asked, here’s the recipe:
- bone in raw ham
- preheat to 350
- pin pineapples and cherries with toothpicks all up and down it
- save the juice and add a little pineapple juice and a bag of brown sugar
- cook for 3 hours
- score it 1 hour in
- baste it every 30 min
- cut, soak, serve

Mmm made my dad’s cherry pineapple ham for the first time for an early thanksgiving dinner and it’s incredible.

Okay but this late night bender scene was a formative moment for HOW MANY of us?
The concept of him flying never comes up before this.
There is never any "maybe his ears are so big he could fly!" at the beginning of the movie.
It only happens at the very end because he somehow ended up in a tree after a late night bender with a mouse and they're like "how'd he get up here?"

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.
We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.
We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

FWIW: Mention books you like or you think others might like. You never know what'll happen:
I saw The Sad Bastard Cookbook here so I mentioned it on Masto (in a "in case you need this" sense). It kinda went viral (1K shares). It jumped to a high ranking on Amazon and then they got media attention.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
