I used to intensely dislike Acaster for the niche reason that - as a young support act on tour - he failed to register which Rolls-Royce my city's crowd was talking about. (I enjoy him infinitely more now!)

I know bigotry is everywhere but you really wish it didn't exist in the health service. Problem is in a service that employs so many it was bound to exist, I just wish it wasn't backed up by legal and governmental bigotry.

When I see the Lionesses, call me CRAZY, I don't immediately think about trans women or Harry Kane transitioning.

Not me (my eulogy for my dad involved a poem by Richard Feynman), but this is top notch funeral tomfoolery and he would have loved that too.

I have already heard from trans constituents who are avoiding essential NHS screening and treatment for fear of being treated without respect and dignity. Ministers told me: “the revised guidance will support the privacy, dignity and safety of all patients” How exactly does this do that?

"a vehicle overseen by Washington"? So, Trump needs a bit of cash because he wants to pave over Arlington Cemetery and erect yet another blindingly gaudy monument to his failed presidency? Par for the course.

This one is slightly mad, but if you are feeling depressed to the point of overwhelming nothingness, waggle your arms in the air and do an impression of Kermit. You will not want to, and will feel like a right fucking tit. This is the point. Can give just enough silliness for an ounce of momentum.

Remember every pearl-clutching journalist and commentator who insisted it was in the public interest to know every single detail of a Cambridge academic's life, even after he resigned his position, because he did some sloppy copy-and-pasting as a post-grad student?

Narrowly avoided a deep YouTube rabbit-hole of people purportedly in the music industry who claim to have never heard of ABBA listening to ABBA for the first time. Fascinating on any number of levels.

Divest from Harry Potter and JKR, y'all. It's okay to feel sad about no longer engaging with something that meant a lot to you, but a fictional world that funds a very real assault on trans rights will never be more meaningful than caring about the safety of trans folks.

Thick slice of Costco lemon drizzle cake (better than I, semi-professional baker, can make at home) and a slab of Birds custard so thick you could patch up a wall. That's what I want.

The irony that the BBC blurred out the Protect the Dolls slogan on a Strictly contestant’s tshirt for their social accounts as “political” but will happily dedicate a two-part doc to the woman who uses her billions to fund lawsuits to persecute transgender people www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Two-part documentary on J.K. Rowling announced by BBC Factual and BBC Scotland

My antitheism is absolute, even down to Facebook feed options.
Facebook feed options for disinterest in posts from Church Times. I selected, as an antitheist, "I don't like the creator".

Also, being polite shouldn't be a conscious decision. You should naturally say "please" and "thank you" and you should instinctively hold doors open for people. These things should be second nature and you should do them without thinking.

I still use a films-by-post rental service (yes, I know... but I am quite old now). The past few weeks have seen a delicious blend of 40-50 year old Almodóvar and John Waters classics winging their way to me.
