Ride or Die was pretty good fun & loved Hannah Waddingham. Friend said I should watch Ted Lasso... Yes I like Hannah... I can't stand football or anything to do with it. So that's an emphatic no thanks, but apparently I'm fussy 🤷‍♀️

Going to drop off here for a while, its become less social & more a constant & intense bombardment of political commentary & opinions. Multiple repetition of news stories one after the other. Very few folk posting their interesting life stuff that brings a smile & when they do its oft ignored.

Insult to injury, spent 4 days in hospital last week, my naughty pulmonary embolism. Now suffering with a head cold bug type thing. Coughing n snuffling like a coughy snuffly fing. At least my oxygen level is 99% again & not the 80% it was last week. Only consolation is it's too hot to do anything

A dark day for human rights.
four frame comic. first frame shows the logo of amnesty international. second frame shows jk rowling, smiling in the dark. third frame shows an empty classroom, with a pride poster almost falling from the wall. fourth frame shows a trans flag flying in the wind. text above all the images reads : 
on july 8th, amnesty Inter-
national uk published a report
titled “A Growing Threat: The
Anti-Rights Movement in the UK.”
it listed 117 orgs, including anti-
trans and anti-queer ones
backed by jk rowling.
the backlash was immediate
and brutal : rowling pledged
to cover the fees of anyone
who wished to sue amnesty.
the report was taken down
within 48 hours.
this morning (july 31st), amnesty
fully capitulated and released
an apology to anti-trans orgs,
which, it said, should not have
been "collectively labelled as
anti-rights". rowling
celebrated.
an organisation that
bravely faced fascist regimes
and reported human rights
violations for 65 years has caved
to rowling's power and bigotry.
it's a dark day for human rights.

Chatting with my neighbour of 64 years the other day about the past. We got round to politics & how Labour have become anti LGBT & she paused, then said but your not trans anymore. You were 30 years ago but that's all done & dusted now. This is from an enlightened 88 year old. Hate is chosen.
