I hate fairy doors.

Mossy old trees are magical enough without having some bit of tat nailed to them.

Ok, time for an explainer on trans health care for kids, and how it's changed over the years.

Cunty sold his shares in the toddler killing machine a year and a half after the invasion. It was international news that a Norwegian investor dropped this company because they were afraid that they’d be legally complicit in genocide. No excuses. Dirty shit all round
