Not that I mind.

Managed to escape a chugger at the bus stop just now - she came up to me, started her pitch, and then said "oh sorry I think you're too young you're in your 20s aren't you" and you can bet my 36 year old ass said "yes"

Going to rename myself 'Emotions'.

Confirmation today that World Athletics treatment of Caster Semenya crossed the line and became an abuse of human rights: https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/11/sport/caster-semenya-wins-appeal-discriminatory-testosterone-limit-spt-intl/index.html

Watching Twitter’s functionality for disaster communication crumble before our eyes is real unfortunate.

This is one of the few places on social media that isn’t horribly punitive to sex workers, and yet people are already arguing that porn should be banned so that they can comfortably scroll at work? Grow up!!

I hope the Napoleon films begins with a screen reading June, 1815, Napoleon is master of Europe and only the British army stands before him – battlefields are now battlefields.

I feel this. What's the trans version of a retirement home?

Petition to change all Fraktur font to Octopuss

I love that someone thought this was Dad's Army

Introducing someone to a certain show with "Enjoy the adventures of: Captain Dad, Traumatised Military Dyke, Trans Science Thot, Slutty Medical Twink, Goo Cop, Eternally Suffering Irishman, Capitalist Gremlin, Pope Karen, and Gay Alien Spy"

Glasgow summer feels like London summer this year so I presume London summer feels like Rome summer and god help Rome.

Someone has probably already done this but hey.

They just meowed at me until I let them into my lap and then they curled up and fell asleep happily. I adore them and want nothing bad to ever happen to them.

It's very sunny and warm today in Glasgow

And quite frankly if this app is to have a future it will need to cater to these communities that are using it rather than to the wider community who are largely going to Threads anyway. Recognise your audience while you still have them.

I don't particularly want to talk or think about threads, but I want to spread awareness of this risk. My expectation is that meta will take little/no effort to control actors engaged in stochastic terrorism against trans women, and the insta connection makes it even more likely to explode IRL.

Promise I'm not a weeb, really.

I don't feel that Bluesky will be the next Twitter but that's fine, I don't necessarily need a next Twitter, I just want a place I can talk to my friends and others without having random drive-by bigots appear and call me a groomer for going out to eat ramen or something.

That's what we call a pro gesterone move.

in case you’re wondering how Threads is going, it’s people responding earnestly to stolen dril tweets

This is why I say I like Bluesky for its userbase, not its admin.

OUO what's this?

I guess we've gone international

Just Glasgow graffiti things

Movie pitch: comedy writer loses platform she spent 13 years building overnight & has to start over from scratch but winds up in a charming online small-town community where she goes back to her roots & learns to be funny again without having to constantly argue with Nazis about why she should exist
