in light of recent discourse— hostile reminder that
1: bi people are always queer no matter who they’re dating, and
2: infighting in the current political climate is not wise. they hate all of us. the problem is not a bisexual woman dating a man, it’s conservatives who want us all gone.

Describe your favourite movie in the most misleading way possible.

Couldn’t agree with this more, I took myself out for lunch recently and it was the best thing I did that week
I eat alone in restaurants all the damn time. I probably would even if I were coupled!
Solo dining with a book is one of life's great pleasures.

Statement on the EHRC ‘guidance’.
The EHRC ‘guidance’ put out at 10pm last night is a bigoted attempt to segregate trans people in public spaces. It is almost certainly unlawful.

A snail in the British Museum holds the record for the longest suspended animation of any animal. After four years mounted on cardboard it was noticed to be alive. It was promptly freed, and a partner located. The snail survived for two more years before returning to the museum.
