I had a wonderful moment on the phone with my mum yesterday when I said we were coming to see Kae Tempest tonight and I used gender neutral pronouns by mistake and my mum said "I think he goes by male pronouns now" and I was like *yes* I have trained you well.

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

My mum just said to me "You should be hung like a horse". When I challenged her over saying such a thing, it transpires she thought it was a punishment horses got. Turns out she's been incorrectly using the phrase since the 90s in various settings

Before we announce our first speaker, you should get to know them a bit, right? Our clue is…This person enjoys scuba diving and in 2017 became a professional dive leader.
On Friday, we will officially announce them, so you have until then to talk to each other and figure out who this is.🤫

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Some are querying whether Andrew can renounce a dukedom without an Act of Parliament.
But you can parse a duchy and he’s left outside.
Good night.

Today is All Saints' Day, so it is a fine opportunity to remind ourselves of one of the most significant English pop bands of the 1990s.

I sent a bunch of yarn to a friend who’s recently started crocheting - stuff I’ve had for ages & not really liked / found a use for - and she was *delighted* and keeps sending me photos of what she’s made with it and it’s so awesome to see.
