Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Nothing more humbling than having to call the bank due to suspicious activity and the lovely fella walking you through all your (genuine) recent transactions. Yes I’m part-boujie, part-garbage person, don’t judge!

Said this before, but every time the "biological woman" circus kicks off I think of the millions of women, including myself, with conditions like PCOS who struggle with "masculine" features like facial hair, and how the only women I'd be afraid to meet in a bathroom are gender-policing creeps.

Being chronically ill is not lazy.
Resting when your body needs it is not lazy.
Saying “no” is not lazy.
Taking care of yourself is not lazy.
Ableism teaches us to guilt ourselves for respecting our body & its limits. Change the narrative.

I haven’t laughed out loud *this much* in a long time.
A year today since the Glasgow Wonka Experience, inarguably one of the great theatrical happenings of this or any other time.
A few days later, I got my hands on the AI-generated script the poor cast and crew were made to use and detailed it in the below thread in an early bsky highlight for me.

The AI-generated "script" the actors were given for the Glasgow Wonka event is.. something. Aside from featuring staging and effects that would be impressive for a moderately-sized West End spectacular, its stage directions also dictate, in detail, precisely how delighted the audience will be.

Happy #caturday - it’s the best day of the week! Daisy loves that gunk near her eye so much that she clawed me for trying to remove it; I respect her autonomy (and my skin) too much to argue. Suits her anyway #catsofbluesky

I feel like if French classes had focused on excellent phrases like this it may have stuck more. Feck the past participle!
A French way of saying something is tip-top, especially a fine wine, is c’est le petit Jésus en culotte de velours. It means “it’s the baby Jesus in velvet underpants.”

Happy #caturday! Here is Daisy cat out in the hallway (where she is definitely not meant to be) looking pure innocent. She also attended a birthday party this week and was not thrilled. I love her rebellious, pissed off little face and spirit so much. ❤️🐾 #catsofbluesky

I have signed this #EU initiative to propose a ban on #LGBTQ+ conversion "therapy" which every EU citizen above the age of 16 should be able to sign.
#Ireland needs maybe 5,000 more signatures to reach the threshold #Spéirghorm #Spéirgorm
