I suggest we attach every motor we have to one side of the island, attach tow ropes to whoever needs to come too and then power off through the ocean to a place he can’t find us.

Stupid walk, stupid mental health etc.

If you want a book that's set in a boarding school for magic people, is funny but also quite dark and makes you think about society and stuff, and can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike, but also isn't written by an actual evil person, may I present to you Witch Week by Diana Wynne Jones. 🪄

Righteous folk heroes always famously pose with a lit cigar in a luxurious location like their gold-plated office or even on their yachts to gloat that their plan has worked. It's classic.

Awful….writing is on the wall for the planet…

This new Supreme Court ruling does not protect women. It protects a 'barbie doll' image of what women should be. Let me explain: I was born female. I have female genitals. It says female on my Birth Certificate. I am one of the 'women' this ruling is meant to protect. 🧵

I mean, on the plus side, our mate has been round for dinner and told us that he’s fallen madly in love. So yay love.

Fucking hell. I mean… fucking hell.

What a week for feminism. A few of them were blasted into space for ten minutes by a dude. And now we’re defined by what’s inside our pants. Aces.

I don't know if it will be the case for everyone but listening to OBriens first hour this morning helped calm me. He's made a massive leap, the first caller was a very eloquent tans woman and the second a GC dismantled Brexit style. The verdict is shit. The impact may help us.

The fucking tragedy is that they can’t see how this thing they think they’ve ’won’ is going to screw them over, too.

These women aren’t *for* me or any women as far as I can see. The only way to prove your identity now is to reveal your genitals. That’s not a win for anyone.

I am so incredibly tired of this ongoing attack on trans people. Cis men are murdering women in plain sight. If gender-critical women turned their attention to dealing with men, women might be safe. I'm not worried about loos or changing rooms. I am worried about literally everything else.

That the placards held by these presumably cis-women protesters seeking to deny trans women rights read ‘adult human female’, ‘large gametes’, and ‘biological fact’ encapsulates the biological essentialism, reductionism, and determinism at the heart of their definition of who counts as a woman.

If we could surprise announce a new book from any author, who would it be? And why is it Donna Tartt?

Say what you want about Liz’s contribution to history but Truss Social surely opens up doorways to some of the most epic trolling ever attempted in the history of shitposting.

Can we stop talking about the ten-minute-space-visit ladies now? Nobody in their right mind would argue that they did a feminism and there’s *quite* a lot of other stuff that is going on…

Today’s walk. Don’t go that way. Never go that way.

Calm down Dorothy, I've spent longer putting the bins out

Lovely fat globs of rain falling.

I want good things for Perry because she - like many - was duped by Brand and definitely had a terrible time but if the ‘ass in astronaut’ quote is real then she needs an intervention.

*sings* Just remember that one day he will DIE! 🤗

An utter waste of court time and money… but it *will* be funny. And they both lose. Libel claim against Matt Hancock can go to trial www.bbc.com/news/article...

Quite literally assaulted by the hold music for E-On whilst waiting to speak to someone about our DD going up despite the fact that we've been in credit to them for *months*...

Realigning with *the* film (which thankfully my husband and I both confirmed was *the* film before we even met) and thanking the universe for Carrie and also @markhamillofficial.bsky.social The Rebellion will prevail. The Empire will fall. The soundtrack tells us this.

I *may* have taken enough (too many probably) antihistamines to quell the tide.

I dunno… if you’re gonna do an emergency recall to save the steel industry you should probably have a look at Higher Education and the performing arts which have been absolutely pummelled by Brexit and arguably bring in more money. But what do I know…?

Anyway. Shout out to everyone being slowly destroyed by the fucking monstrous pollen levels this year. I blame Brexit.
