"Matron"!

Just in case you've been living in a cave since the '70s, political "feminists'" have long insisted that ALL porn is "degrading, violent, and misogynistic". Consider that while reading this.

Finished the prep for tomorrow's annual Operation: Better-Than-Malibu. A proper rum-based coconut liqueur with an actual coconut flavour, and less sugar. I may not be the best cook, but I can make damn fine liqueurs at home. I know how to cocktail.

Joy Reid and Alex Wagner were really the only reason I paid any fleeting attention to MSNBC in spite of Morning Joe's existence, the collaborator cowards. MSNVichy indeed.

Tonight's treat: an Earl Grey MarTEAni (not my name, it's Audrey Saunders' name). This is my absolute favourite gin cocktail, since I drink gallons of Earl Grey a year. Who knew infusing gin with Earl Grey tea would be such a winner? Me. Shame that my glassware does not proportionise my hand well.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing people that "censorship" means "not being able to scream slurs in other people's faces" and not "you will forbidden from conducting scientific research if you use any one of these keywords".

The horrifying practice of treating young adults as pets, completely at the mercy of their parents' whims and hangups, is something society should be moving away from, but instead it's only growing worse.

Treating myself to a Clover Club. One of my favourite gin cocktails, for a spirit that is also not my favourite of the spirits.

The only possible conclusion after voting with the Tories in favour of the harassment of trans people in their work places is that the Scottish Labour Party is institutionally hostile to the LGBTQ+ community. Let not a single MSP from their number dare attend pride this year. They are what we fight

The Gender Recognition Reform Bill would bring Scotland in line with global best practice It was extensively consulted on, evidence was heard from across society, and it passed overwhelmingly But for Scottish Labour your human rights will never be as important as a good headline in the Daily mail

if you support the labour party block me. if you support the scotland office of the labour party, eat my shit, and then block me.

Fucking Labour cunts. Aimless, directionless and devoid of any principles other than base prejudice expressed in a middle class way.

nah. we remember.

Giving a shout-out today to the Gender Community Lending Library. Trans books posted for free across the UK, plus a penpal scheme!

After an absolute shite week, good news. "Trans women do not pose a threat to cisgender women Trans women are women, trans men are men and non-binary people exist Trans issues are union issues, because UNISON has always fought for marginalised workers" Motion passed unopposed, there ARE allies!✊

Also worth pointing out this led to Unison uninviting the health secretary from talking to their members. Transphobia threatens losing Labour’s core voters

I came out when homosexuality was still illegal here, I started medical transition 21 years before either same sex marriage or official recognition of gender change was legal. If I'd waited until it was a "good time to transition" I would actually have lost over half my life

(⚠️ mention of SA) As Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer practically decriminalised sexual assault in Britain (and was criticised by MPs in his own party for it), while at the same time ramping up prosecutions of women who retracted a rape claim.

So close, can we do it this evening?

In nearly 5 years, Scottish Labour haven't done much to improve their fortunes under his leadership. The only reason he's lasted THIS long is that there's no-one else who wants to accept the poisoned chalice that is being the Leader of Scottish Labour. Look how may "leaders" they've has since 2007.

When it's not just voters, members but even your parliamentarians who won't accept what's being served, your time is over. Only 25% of Scottish Labour members were bothered to vote for Party leader in 2021. Sarwar won with fewer votes to his name than when he lost to Richard Leonard back in 2017.

Drawing up a "hit list" and every person on it is a woman? Stephen Flynn is an utter danger. Note also that some of those women are among the most prominent trans allies in the SNP. Flynn wants them gone and replaced with his bros. Mafia style politics.

I bet those followers I picked up a week ago for that one Chappell Roan post are disappointed to find out that I'm a quiet, boring person who barely posts.

i jus noticed @aiannucci.bsky.social does a podcast with vile, qanon-addled, bigot helen lewis. his fall from grace has been so grim to witness.
