Kudos to Neanderthal women for realising human men are best avoided approx 40,000 yrs before I did
A clip from a news story about evidence indicating male Neanderthals and human females were more likely to interbreed than the opposite

If you live in the #GortonAndDenton constituency and haven't voted yet, but don't know who to vote for, the best tactical vote to keep out #ReformUK is the #GreenParty. Vote #Green for hope not hate. tactical.vote/gorton-and-denton #UKPol #UKPolitics #GortonAndDentonByElection

Thank for the reposts and help! Looking for kids 2015/16 Barca kit, shorts and long sleeve top, horizontal stripes, 8-14y (ideally about 10-11y). The specifications are part of his deep and pervasive autistic special interest in football gear, not just him being a brat, promise!

I'm watching the Parliamentary debate about the self-ID e-petition and my JAW IS ON THE FLOOR. The MPs speaking are hitting ALL the key pro-trans talking points: - transphobic bias in EHRC - nightmare of SC ruling - toilet bans are awful - must hear trans voices - IGLA rainbow map 1/

Planning a weekend away for my 40th in the summer with me and 3 mates, we want fun party times, cool culture, and to be in bed by 11pm. Do we choose: A. Berlin B. Amsterdam C. Reliving the very messy Leeds festival we attended age 17 (with the addition of luxury yurt, I’m not an animal)
