Describing Timothy Dalton to my girlfriend
A screenshot of a Whatsapp chat between my gf & me. I open with "Or rather, evil Gallifreyan High Council dude" "High council dude? HIGH COUNCIL DUDE?" "Yeah! In the one with Bernard Cribbins & The Master, Timothy Dalton is the High Council dude" "High council? dude?" "I'm guessing you're mad I don't know his name" "President of Gallifrey lol" "HE'S HIGH COUNCIL GALLIFREYAN DUDE" "Close enough!" "I am definitely close enough to get a pass on this cause he only appears in one episode"

Ok, we're doing this, alright... first one I could find in my camera roll 🙃 please excuse the accidental deadnaming
A picture of me pre-transition after completing the London Marathon 2015, biting my medal. I'm wearing a Nike baseball cap, a red Twilio t-shirt, a bib in the colours of the National Autistic Society with the race number 32138 pinned to the front, compression shorts, and a fannypack to carry energy gels throughout the race (they were gross). My deadname is ironed on to the letters of my bib & the N has almost fallen off.

This is why I hate Evorel patches. This is less than 48hrs after application.
A photo of my thigh with two Evorel patches applied - one 100mg and one 100mg cut in half to make 50mg. The skin under the 50mg patch is red and irritated and the glue is starting to become ineffective, as the patch has wrinkled up and is not sitting flush on the skin.

Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣

After three days at home, my symptoms started getting worse, so I ended up in an ambulance back to A&E. This is what the inside of my back looks like, one ruptured L4/L5 disc. I'm having surgery in the next few hours.
I picture of an MRI scan with a line going through one spinal column disc, highlighting how it's ruptured. There is a black mass at L4/L5 protruding into a white line which indicates my cauda equina nerve.

Thankyou Stephen Crowder for the basest desktop backgrounds ever

Iykyk and if you don't, this was supposed to be satire & the left went "actually yeah that's hot" youtu.be/Qp8jy7NBVbA?...
A picture of three desktop monitors, each with a screencap of a video by Stephen Crowder, supposedly satirising "The Squad" (Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, & Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) and stylising them like Powerpuff Girls. Joke's on Stephen, this video makes them look AWESOME.

@rendle.dev was this you?!
A comment on the NHS change website by "Mark Rendle" stating "13 people (so far) have downvoted the idea that adults should be allowed to make informed decisions about their own bodies. wtf"

The final girlboss #trans
A picture of a dress with the trans Pride flag colours. The skirt is decorated with hearts filled with the trans flag and each heart surrounded by three others, each with a different colour of the flag. The hearts go all the way around the hem of the skirt. A selfie of me wearing the dress, making a V sign with my right hand & sticking my tongue out playfully

Better picture...

Attenborough took ASL lessons without informing the director or cast, so when the scene was filmed, her reaction of joy is 100% genuine and entirely unscripted.
