I take a bunch of powders and pills at night for this health thing I have, and I’ve started mixing them all together and calling it “my potion” and imaging I have to drink it to stave off a witch’s curse, and let me tell you: not only does it work, it also makes me respect myself a little less

Sometimes I call my dog a “good man” instead of a “good boy” because I feel like he’s made a really adult decision

A cute tradition in my family is that even though his name is Greg, I call him “dad” instead. Guess we’re a bit quirky like that!

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

All these gender critical “feminists” shilling for rightwing papers who would take away women’s rights in an *instant* and never admitting the contradiction. If your feminism requires you to be on the same side as Trump, Vance, Putin, Farage, the Mail, the Telegraph, then mayyyyyyyybbbbbeeee….
The… the bbc that wrote an article about trans people that only took from a “gender critical” group and included quotes from a lesbian rapist? That bbc?
Lmao.
These people are actually deluded to think the bbc is left wing and pro trans.

Obsessive ‘gender critical’ activist-journalist - Sonia Sodha - makes gaslighting statements about the provably trans-hostile BBC! 🙄😖
It’s also pretty desperate that she’s colluding with the Telegraph to push transphobic stories (Observer not hateful enough?)
