My boy Zack Polanski is the only party leader who has explicitly said he doesn’t want me and my friends dead, so unless anyone else is willing to give bigotry the boot, I’m afraid I have to stan. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈💚

Idk, maybe the stuff we’ve been asking after for the past twenty years will happen, who knows, shall we risk it and see

Asked a grown man in the post office queue how old he was, as I was pretty sure he was old enough to know he should cover his mouth when coughing. Got told to mind my own business. Asked why I should, when we were all inhaling his business right now.

People!!!!

The gym. 16yo me gave up TKD because they could no longer be arsed.
What do you like now that 16 year old you would hate you for?

I’m not going into what happened this morning but let’s just say I 100% cursed it
Not to curse anything, but the cats have been so much more chill lately. Rory’s anxiety has slowed, Hector is much happier being around him, they play together occasionally…. And the biggest change we’ve made has been changing their bedroom from the big lounge to the small utility room. Proximity!

People* will be whinging and going oh it’s a comedy chat show, this doesn’t count.

Listen. There’s a reason that the answers to questions like these, and ones like “what’s your bodega order” to Mamdani, actually matter.

If your entire platform is being angry and bringing up times when bad things happened and insisting we should all be feeling sad and guilty constantly…..

Try telling us what you had for tea. About that good book you read the other day. Did you see a dog? I bet something funny happened last week.

Solidarity with @pcsunion.bsky.social workers at the British Library.

300 workers on strike. Some of them having to take second jobs or taking out loans just to be able to survive.

A Pay "award" below inflation is a pay cut. Unacceptable.

Solidarity - and keep organising! ✊🏼

It’s that time of year where you can’t see anything because all the windows are steamed up on the outside.

Yes, the outside. It’s annoying.

This book is brilliant and I think has a first line that should be inducted into a hall of fame!
