On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

*CW: Homophobia, hate speech GB News is no stranger to spouting hatred and toxic lies. They take pride in it, and pretend the rules don’t matter. But they do. And they must be enforced. On 22 January,...

Panic and despair without an outlet can be self-destructive. Interrupt the doom spiral:

-Do 1 self-indulgent thing that makes you feel happy or content.
-Do 1 thing to make your home environment more calm or comfortable.
-Do 1 thing to help your community and people in it.

Repeat as needed.

I was going to share this over on the gram but it doesn't feel like a bad first post for here. This comes from the reflections on my own childhood and relationship with food.

What is keeping me going is the thought that if I give up my enemies will get exactly what they want and I can't have that.

You expect me to be interested in a song that's made by ai. A thing that couldn't care less if someone puts it's heart in a blender

Hi there. I'm a disabled, queer, one woman production line of random things that make me smile. There's a weird mix of jewellery and stitch markers, with a lot of #queer stuff especially.

Please don't forget indie authors this holiday season. Many can't afford to sell their books through anything BUT Amazon. Check to see if an indie author is selling their books via independent stores, but you're not a bad person for supporting an indie through Amazon or Kindle Unlimited, thank you.
Books.

When buying books for gifts this holiday season, please don't buy from Amazon. Please shop at your local independent bookstore/bookseller. Ask for recommendations. If they don't have a particular book in stock, ask them to order it.

Support creatives, local businesses, and your community.

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

HUMANS!

I'm here now, shell-shocked and feeling defeated. I stood up to the sister who I felt closest to, who was upset about my social media posts and claimed that "I only did it because of the economy, can't you understand?" No.

Anyone need a big sister or an auntie? My role seems to have opened up.
