This was my last minute Halloween costume. I was dressed as an Irish ma in 1986 called Sarah Problem.
This image features an individual in a vibrant, retro-style outfit posing on a set of stairs against a plain, worn gray wall. 🎨 Description of the Subject * The person is wearing what appears to be a jumpsuit or matching tracksuit in a striking, colorful, and abstract geometric pattern. The colors are predominantly bright pink, blue, yellow, black, and white. * They are also wearing a light-colored, shaggy wig and large, round-framed glasses. * The individual has a light beard or facial hair. * They are posing dramatically, leaning slightly against the wall with their left hand on the railing and their right arm bent, hand near their chest/shoulder. * They are wearing white trainers or sneakers. 🏛️ Setting and Atmosphere * The background is a stairwell with a dark handrail. * The concrete or painted gray wall is rough and has areas where the paint or finish appears to be scraped or worn away, showing streaks of white. * The lighting is dim, which adds to a slightly underground or club atmosphere. The overall impression is that of a person dressed up for an event, likely a party or performance, with a strong, playful sense of style.

Can't wait for Israel to do what it always does.
The image shows a cartoon illustration of a green frog swimming in a body of water. A dark red scorpion is perched on the frog's back. The background suggests a muddy bank and some reeds growing in the water. The illustration is captioned with text in two places, imitating a dialogue: Top text: "BUT IF YOU KILL ME WE BOTH DROWN" SAID THE FROG Bottom text: "HAMAS" SAID THE SCORPION

Sat cutting out pads for drag from fancy Dunelm insulating foam lol.
This image shows a close-up of materials laid out on a carpeted floor, likely for a crafting or costuming project. Materials: The primary material is thick, white foam or padding. Several pieces have been cut from a larger sheet of this foam, including: A large, oval-shaped piece with a curved edge. An outline drawn in pencil or marker on the foam sheet, indicating where the next piece will be cut. Smaller, oddly shaped pieces of foam scraps scattered nearby. Other Items: A separate, solid black, oval-shaped piece of material (possibly black foam, fabric, or plastic) is visible in the upper-left. Scraps of the white foam are visible in the background. A blue and white marker or pen is seen near the bottom-right corner. Setting: The materials are resting on a dark grey, textured carpet. The overall impression is a workspace dedicated to building or shaping something, possibly for costume, cosplay, or upholstery.

I really fucking hate him.
This image is a screenshot of a Facebook or similar social media comment thread between two users, "Brian John Spencer" and "Ó Donnáin Stíofán." Conversation Summary Brian John Spencer starts the thread with a comment: He mentions Hamtramck, Michigan, and states, "They banned the LGBTQ flag..." He attributes this action to "The muslim dominated council." He concludes with, "Take heed!" Ó Donnáin Stíofán replies to Brian John Spencer, appearing to counter the point about religion and the LGBTQ+ community: He acknowledges the story but says, "I don't live there." He then describes a "Christian dominated country" where he does live, listing a history of anti-LGBTQ+ policies: Homosexuality was criminalized until 1982. Same-sex marriage was banned until 2021. He wasn't allowed to donate blood until 2012. He claims trans people were recently banned from using single-sex spaces in 2025 (a future date, suggesting this is either a hypothetical point or a satirical exaggeration of a current political proposal). He concludes, "So don't tell me about what religion does to the LGBTQ community, Brian. You have no fucking idea." The image captures the exchange, with the most recent comment from Ó Donnáin Stíofán posted "1m" (one minute) ago, and Brian John Spencer's initial comment posted "54m" (54 minutes) ago.

Look at this gorgeous piece of machinery! 1963 Tula sewing machine from the Soviet Union. I need it!
The image shows a vintage electric sewing machine and its accessories, set against a plain white background. The main object is the sewing machine itself, which has a distinctive, glossy mint green or avocado green finish and a rounded, mid-century design.

Made my first thing with the sewing machine! A bag to hold my threads!
This image shows a person's hand holding up a light-colored, off-white cloth bag or pouch.

A Belfast queen winning week one of RuPaul's Drag Race UK!? ABSOLUTELY.

I love Elle Vosque. So so proud of her.
This image shows a person in a dramatic, futuristic outfit. They are wearing a shiny, silver garment that is geometric and spiky, with crystal or sequin embellishments. The outfit includes a headpiece with multiple pointed silver spikes, also decorated with crystals. The person has bold makeup with a striking winged eyeliner, heavily contoured cheeks, and dark lipstick. Their fingernails are long and pointed, and they are wearing sheer, embellished gloves. They are posing with their hands near their face, and they are wearing clear, high-heeled shoes with a metallic platform and heel. The background is a mix of white and different shades of blue, with a soft, glowing effect.

I am sick and tired of hearing the reductive and frankly homophobic and Islamophobic talking point that "You'd be thrown off a roof in Palestine so why do you support them?"

The biggest threat to queer Palestinians is the Israeli military.

Look at this beautiful machine that I bought today for £40. Serial number indicates it was manufactured in August of 1958.

67 years old and still running like a dream.
The image shows a vintage Singer sewing machine. It has a distinctive tan or brown color and is mounted on a wooden base with a folding extension table. The machine's body has the "SINGER" logo printed on it. A large spool of blue thread is on the spindle at the top of the machine, and a small piece of white fabric is wrapped around the machine's arm. A red case or box is visible in a cutout area on the right side of the wooden base. The machine appears to be on a carpeted floor, with a power cord trailing away from it. In the background, there's a gray, textured wall or piece of furniture.

Possibly one of the best productions I have ever seen. Congratulations to NI Opera in a fantastic show. The costumes, lighting, choreo, the vocal talent - all sublime.
This image captures the stage of a theater during a performance, likely a musical. The stage is brightly lit, and a large sign in the background displays the word "FOLLIES" in white capital letters. On the stage, there are many performers in various costumes, some standing and some bowing, suggesting the end of a show. The audience is visible in the foreground, with the backs of their heads silhouetted against the light from the stage. The photo appears to have been taken from a balcony or an upper-level seat, providing a wide view of the entire stage and some of the audience. The theater itself has ornate, classic architecture, with gilded details on the balconies and proscenium arch.

I am unreasonably angry, as a queer drag queen who takes fashion VERY seriously, about what Melania Trump is wearing to the state dinner. Who tf dressed her? Not to mention Lanzarote Arthur Cobblepot beside her.

And for what it's worth, Education Minister Paul Givan has always been a risible piece of shit who has a face I wouldn't get tired of slapping.
This image is a screenshot of a tweet from Cool FM News. The tweet, dated "1d" (one day ago), discusses the removal of transgender guidance in schools in Northern Ireland. The tweet text states: "NEW: Education Minister REMOVES transgender guidance in Northern Ireland schools." It also mentions that "@paulgivan has ordered the immediate withdrawal of the Education Authority's 2019 guidance." A quote from Mr. Givan is included, saying "education policy must be based on legal clarity and the best interests of children." The image also shows a video thumbnail of a man in a dark suit and a red tie, who appears to be the education minister, Paul Givan. He is speaking, with a microphone visible near his shoulder. The video is 2 minutes and 41 seconds long. Below the video thumbnail are icons for engagement, showing 238 comments, 482 retweets, and 2.2K likes, with 180K views.

Fuckin state of this dog abusing, racist cunt.
This image shows a man with a reddish-brown beard and a plaid cap, holding a smartphone. He is wearing a black vest over a white and multi-colored sweater. The image is a screenshot of an article from the Belfast Telegraph with the headline, "Neil Pinkerton denied bail after accusations of threatening delivery driver ‘due to his race’". The article also includes a quote from the judge: "People who harbour the views that are alleged against you are an absolute plague." The caption below the image identifies the man as "East Belfast man Neil Pinkerton" and credits the photo to Sunday World. There are other people in the background, but their faces are blurred.

37 years and still have the same hairline
This is a close-up selfie of a man with a shaved head and a beard, taken from the shoulders up. He is in what appears to be a car and is wearing a black t-shirt. A seatbelt is visible across his chest. He has a nose ring and is smiling. This image is a photo of a smiling baby lying on a light-colored blanket with a pattern of blue and yellow bunnies and bows. The baby is wearing a white outfit with a light blue and yellow pattern and has a frilled collar. The baby's eyes are wide open, and they appear to be looking up and to the right of the camera.
