Who else is watching #AllsFair? I feel like Ryan Murphy is trying to engineer a camp classic, but that's not how camp classics come about.

Today I did a supermarket shop, two bags loaded with shopping, only to realise I didn't have my bank card. The sad thing is, it's not the first time I've done this. And even sadder, I'll probably do it again! #MyMemoryIsPants

The people who have created an absurd moral panic over which toilets Trans people use are often the same people who don't believe victims of actual abuse (overwhelmingly at the hands of cis people). I hope Virginia Giuffre finds some peace.

Something that's given me joy in the last couple of weeks is squirrels. Two of them started making a regular appearance in the garden. So I got them their own feeder.
