“I trust my immune system. I don’t need a vaccine.”

Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it.

Boxers don’t enter the ring without a plan. It’s the punch you don’t see coming that knocks you out.

I despise transphobes with my entire heart. Absolutely foul people
"Girlguiding had been facing legal action from a parent over its policy allowing transgender girls to join as members and trans women to volunteer in roles reserved for women, claiming it “exposes girls to harassment”
And presumably feared a sustained campaign.

My family watch Arthur Christmas every year. I can't imagine Christmas without it now.

Our other animated fave is Klaus.
A vote for Aardman’s chronically underrated and overlooked Arthur Christmas. James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Bill Nighy, Jim Broadbent and Imelda Staunton!

Part of a co-pro deal with SONY. CGI but all Aardman.

Well worth a look - especially if you’ve got younger kids. I cry every watch.

I try to avoid binary thinking, but...

There are only two types of people in the world.

"I had to suffer, so should they."

Or "I had to suffer, and I will work to help others so they don't have to."

Ted Lasso and Roy Kent.
You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

Heh. I’m in decent shape.
