I have a painful red-raw rash on my left thigh and in ingrown toenail on my right foot. I am limping on both legs. I move like an unconvincingly animated character on Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion being piloted by a brain-damaged spider.

This is like when my wife said she wanted a divorce so I sent her videos of me crying.

So when injecting this morning, it turned out that the needle bent and broke. It injected *some* of my dose very clearly into a small bubble of liquid just below the skin. What am I supposed to do with that? How much insulin is in my system, and how much pissed into the morning air? FFS.

You could show JKR's first husband being abusive to her all day long, and it will *never* excuse her wretched transphobia. "But October 7th!" is a childish and unconvincing excuse for genocide, and it's all they have. #IsraelIsATerroristState news.sky.com/story/gaza-b...

There's a whole genre of center left pundit that is like "The Right taking away healthcare, denying science, removing human rights and lying about vulnerable people is a travesty! Can people not see what they are doing?! But also they have a point about trans people"

Here's my only problem with current Doctor Who. I feel like I'm being talked down to. I feel like the writers - as much as they've always been scrabbling to keep up - have not been committing to it. And I was a fully grown person in 2005 with memories of old who. So no, "you were a kid then." 1/

Helluva thread. The Labour Party has fully become the UK Democrats. Whining while in opposition about all the right-wing things (because that is their part in the fiction) then fully implementing them when put in power. Anybody still participating in the Labour Party cannot be trusted.

"Hey, TERFs have an expectation that they can say their rancid opinions out loud and *not* face immediate violence for it." > "They have been lied to." Works both ways, I guess. #FuckTERFs #FuckLabour #FuckTheGuardian

On the bus to the mental hospital> "Hey, don't judge that slurring, stumbling, shifty racist guy. He's plobably on his way to the hospital." (Guy gets off at ASDA.) "Hm. Some people are just pricks, I guess."

An EHRC Commissioner was caught lying about her job and her responsibilities because she's a bitter, dusty TERF. What to do? a) Point out her lies? b) Mention other documents (including EHRC guidance) that prove her lies. or c) Mention that she was talking "in a personal capacity" and drink! 1/2

From what I can tell, Dr Stephenson donated to Allison Bailey's legal case. She has also met with FiLiA, and signed letters in defence of 'gender critical' organisations.

I saw some random civilian woman wandering around with that same dour Rachel Reeves/Bridget Phillipson play-people haircut. I figured it would be avoided just for aesthetic reasons, but the raging fascism of the last year has surely consigned it to the bin of history with *that* moustache. 1/2

Spare a thought for the characters in the current wave of Temu ads. They talk about the video *they are in* as the *only* way to achieve the thing they are arguing about. Forget the actors. Think about the characters, aware of their imprisonment and forced to advertise crap tablets. Oof.
