I'm so sorry Bonnie. You've done so much for the little fella, I'm so sorry that it couldn't be enough 😞

I was thinking along the lines of 'diet need not necessarily mean "weight loss" it is just a descriptor of what you eat'. You turn up expecting weight loss when it's just some hobbits discussing the best ways to carb load

My American next door neighbour was very confused by 'half two' as denoting a time of day, she's been practicing some Britishisms and she gets a lil high five when she offers the time of day like a local 😂

Why did you wait this long to wear it?

Not until 1st December, but I have to assume that your days are numbered next month...

In fairness to her, when I was little it also bemused me that I couldn't understand a word Tilly said, but the other characters could. The opening lines of the theme song are 'I'm a tot, je suis un tot' and as a kid I often wondered what a jesweesuntot was

'Didn't one of them only speak gibberish?'

And that's how my mate found out at the grand age of 35 that one of the Tots was in fact French

Be even better if they hadn't named another transphobe to take over from Faulkner

I don't know what this is in relation to but I'll stab a wild guess and say it's ✨more transphobia✨ time

Thorts brought to you in particular by seeing in the news that a parent is trying to sue Girl Guides because letting in trans kids "exposes girls to harassment" or some shit. The only way I know to stave off the dread is to put the opposite energy into the world every opportunity I get.

All through the year, there are covid safe ways for trans folks in the Cambridge area to just Enjoy Nice Things, and I think that's extremely special.
