subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 5hIf a titleholder went on a march for our rights wearing a sash, no one would bat an eyelid. If they punched a fascist while wearing it, people would probably cheer. So get over yourselves, and let them fuck or drink, too! 031
subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 10hIsn't it amazing how a single song can conjure up so many images? Axel F just reminded me of hearing it the year it came out, blasting from an open top VW Beetle in Luxembourg. And now I can even picture the shitty hotel room near the station, and so many other details. 120
subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 10hQuite some time ago, I spent well over a year in a Steelworxx cage. Not sure that gives me more insight than anyone else, but here goes: Do it when you're ready. You don't have to do it just because it's October. It should feel right for you and the keyholder. This isn't about showing off online. 141
subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 11hI feel like half my underwear is missing. It must have been stolen by horny ninja twinks. Who are going to be quite disappointed by how quotidian it is when they get home. 020
subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 13hI see from my FB feed that there's a cafe with only one type of food opening next month in London. The article keeps referring to it as "The crumpet café" and I can't help doing a Kenneth Williams look and muttering "Bold, very bold!" each time I read that. 110

subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 29/09/2026Think I've fixed my russian bot problem, so the feedback form for Manumission is back online. And going to post another batch this pm, so order seen if you want to get in the post today Manumission.online 110
subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 28/09/2026Due to a terrible mix-up with postage labels, I've sent one of you a urine sample, and my GP is getting a BLUF tie clip. 3110
subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 28/09/2026Well, those Russian bots really loved the Manumission feedback form. Over 1 million page views in the last few days, even after I temporarily disabled it! 010
subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 27/09/2026Behold! Today's baking. Focaccia, a small coffee cake with sultanas and cardomum, a chocolate and chilli cake. Both iced with coffee and chocolate icing. Not shown - today's pasta salad, yesterday's caponata and loaf of bread. 010
subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 27/09/2026Almost 300 copies of my little zine out there, and thank you all for the amazing responses. You can still get the preview issue on the website, for £3.50 postage. Drop me a note if you want multiple copies for an event or venue. manumission.online 010

subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 24/09/2026Why "anti-migrant activist," BBC? Why not say what he is: a fascist agitator. We're not talking about someone diligently working for a better world here. We're talking about a hate-filled rabble rouser. 120
subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 24/09/2026Sometimes, a book title just looks so amazing you think "Not my normal genre, but I have to give it a go." A promo for a title called "The Henchperson's Guide to Unionizing" has dropped into my email. How can I resist? 010
subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 23/09/2026Hey you! Bet you knew you were gay before you had sex, didn't you? And people believed you. So believe bisexual people too; they don't have to prove it. #BisexualVisibilityDay 192

subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 21/09/2026Indulge my imagination... inspired by the upcoming Solent Fetish Meet in Southsea, which has a regular hovercraft service from the beach to the Isle of Wight. An idea for a short film, or perhaps a cartoon by @spacepupsilver.com I don't think I've ever seen a hovercraft in a kinky image. SO... 220
subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 21/09/2026At the Gear Social yesterday, I reconnected with someone I'd not seen for ages. And that's prompted me to dig out some photos, from all the way back in 2002. Yep, soft furnishings were pretty busy back then! 0150

subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 20/09/2026Not so long ago, before the UK went collectively insane, I could just pop something in the post to Ireland without worrying. I just paid £6.85 to send a few copies of my zine to Ireland as "Personal documents" 120
subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 20/09/2026It strikes me that for big organisations or companies, there is a sweet spot, where you are an important part of a community and well engaged with it. And people will push back, in the hopes of helping you improve. 130
subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 20/09/2026This is a delightful read for a Sunday morning. And proof that finely crafted smut can transcend gender. 010

subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 18/09/2026So, members of the RNLI, who rescue anyone at sea, are being advised to remove identifying badges from cars or clothing. At least one station has been shut down because of fascist aggression. Our MPs? They're holding an inquiry into why the UK has done so badly at Eurovision in recent years. 131

subdirectory.uk @subdirectory.uk · 16/09/2026Pretty disgusting to see someone deliberately misgendering people beneath photos of them from Folsom Europe, then labelling those who call out his hatred as homophobes. Don't follow bigots and bullies, just cos you think they're pretty. There's nothing pretty about hate. 291
