God bless those of you who can, because those kids need some fucking perspective from people who have actually *lived* as queer people for a significant amount of time, but I have no fucking time, or energy, or patience to try to convince a tumblr poisoned 22 year old that they don’t know everything

I’ve touched on it before, but I’m noticing a trend in intracommunity queer discourse which is that a lot of the conflict is between, to be blunt, dumb 20-somethings who largely engage with queerness online and treat it like a fandom and actual queer adults who… well, don’t.

As an update, some insane people are now harassing/ threatening me via email. I am not a fucking MP. I am not in a position of power. I don’t make govt policy. I advocated for tactical voting. I have condemned the policy. No man I know who does what I do, gets this. Not one of them.

Telegraph accepts: - population of London is 9m not 7m - it's not "1 in 12" but "between 1 in 13 & 1 in 20-something" - they included people with leave to remain - they included kids born in the UK. Xenophobic lies from far-right grifters masquerading as journalists. [Feel free to repost on X 😉]

Ooh, that's a strong cartoon from @ellabaron.bsky.social You know what would *actually* redistribute growth? UK-EU alignment - especially for goods, but also services. Because most manufacturing happens outside London & the SE. And Brexit barriers are stifling these businesses.
Cartoon showing a billboard of Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer in front of Oxford & Cambridge scenes, with the caption 'Visit the Silicon Valley of Europe'.

Signs in front of the billboard read 'The North'. Graffiti on the sign says 'Not coming soon, not here'.

I find it deeply odd…. That some people (mostly men) Need a leader to follow To practically worship Some dude you will defend with blind loyalty when you know they cross a line That isn’t a sign of strength …but of innate insecurity & weakness But hey, you do you.

Agreed. toyed with the idea of leaving FB for a while-it really is a pretty low grade experience these days, but this week has hardened my resolve. Step 1 (for me) was to remove about 80% of friends & strip profile of all interests, likes about info etc. Prob 2 months and I'll close it totally

one major improvement i've seen in the world over the course of my lifetime is the emergence of lightly-salted sweets. i just swung by a bakery to pick up a chocolate chip cookie and it had the slightest flaking of kosher salt on it. that shit went crazy. i think we're doing great in that department

Not sure even #Musk with his level 11 megalomania, has the ability to nurture beauty or positivity from the festering cesspool of prolapsed ghouls actively using X now? All the beautiful, creative souls are flying in bluer skies #blusky

This is an extremely funny way for Meta to announce that daily users have declined to the extent that it's affecting engagement rates for remaining users and they plan to fraudulently simulate a more popular service in order to get people to stay on the site.

7/ Hold space for those no longer with us 👼
This time of year can be very difficult if you have lost a loved one, and it’s important to allow yourself to sit in your feels.
 
Take time to honour those we have lost and remember that you are still here.

6/ Know that it's ok to not go home 🏡
If the thought of a family Christmas seems way too stressful to be worth it, there’s also the option to not go at all.

You’re well within your rights to not attend, or if you do attend, give yourself permission to leave when you need to.

The Christmas and holiday season can mean  spending time with your family, and this includes chosen family.

Remember to celebrate holidays with the people in your life who are supportive or those who may be in a similar position to you.

4/ Alone time ⏰
The Christmas and holiday season break can be overwhelming, especially if you’re spending time with many people.

It’s vital to dedicate time to be alone and to recharge. Whether you nap or watch a comfort movie, take time for yourself.

3/ Remember, you're valid ♥️
t is important to remember that our identities are not contingent upon our family’s ability to understand or validate them. 

You know yourself best, you are the expert of yourself and your identity, and you are so valid. 

Why not repeat an affirmation to yourself when you’re feeling anxious or dysphoric. It can be as simple as ‘I am valid.
