The anger I feel about a *labour* government getting on board with this is like, incandescent
I mean my always sunny red string conspiracy is that this is always what brexit was about for the people funding that campaign // the whole thing is about trying to dismantle the ECHR
Yeah this is about right - but add asylum seekers as the anti-article 8 drumbeat is also (even primarily) about not letting asylum seekers bring their families
1. use trans ppl as the stalking horse to destroy the UK's commitment to pan-European human rights. 2. the UK becomes the first "European" state to have no safeguards against surveillance and disinformation. 3. destroy the EU and all its consumer and human rights safeguards, 1 state at a time.
lol
I wonder if the constant drumbeat against the UK’s acceptance of the European Convention on Human Rights is that it remains the very final limiting statute on using the U.K. population as a Petri dish. Notice how much of it is aimed specifically at Art 8, which underpins privacy & data rights.

Yessssssss
In contrast to the current US government, Jancis Robinson dot com appears to be committed to making it very easy to vote - three clicks, about ten seconds, no need to even enter an email. And everyone is eligible, even teetotalers! #vote
But it's tempting to say "Oh, that's just a matter of renting space, ordering food and music, and telling friends to show up" or "I just grab the mic and say some stuff!" and then when disaster strikes, to be certain it wasn't your fault, it was just circumstance.
And (what got me thinking about this today) things that don't seem like work at all if you don't do them. Event planning! MCing! There's a reason event planners and people doing MC work for shows get paid. It's work. You gotta know what your'e doing.
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Oh man I'm on there! Payday!
Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
If u do hemmingway was trans discourse to me I will harm you with a folding knife and there will be nothing sexual about it.
hot take on the settlement: yes i agree that the settlement is insulting, but also i really, really need $3000. i mean that's two months' rent plus a groceries. teach the controversy
My new video is live! "I Made Vaporwave Art in Mario Paint, It Was a Disaster". The suffering I endured for this one was on another level. youtu.be/bsN6LUl83aw
Nevertheless, it appertaineth to the discipline of the Church, that inquiry be made of evil Ministers, and that they be accused by those that have knowledge of their offences; and finally, being found guilty, by just judgment be deposed.
Jeanne let's be real you would sell out to sell lush bath bombs
everyone should know their answer to this question. i would absolutely sell out if someone offered me a livable wage writing shlocky modern star trek tie-ins or selling earth friendly bath products
OMG I loved this review of Lessons in Magic and Disaster over at @smartbitches.bsky.social ! Carrie totally got what this book is about, and I love her thoughtful response. This what makes it all worthwhile...
at this point I can neither confirm nor deny that I spilled a glass of red wine on the white sofa
Oh you sweet summer child
I swish a fine burgundy around the glass and say, as if to the air or myself, "people ask me the secret of a long and happy marriage. I tell them, darling it's simple..." I stop to take another sip then look straight at the camera "I keep a bottle of Chateau Spill in every room!"
I swish a fine burgundy around the glass then take a sip and smile at the camera with all the charm I can bring to bear. "Chateau Spill: because you can't *always* drink responsibly" I say
lol correct
in like the late sixties or early seventies an interviewer asked bob dylan "if you were going to sell out what would you sell out to sell?" and he said "ladies' underwear" and then 30 years later he was in a Victoria's Secret commercial and anyway my answer would be Chateau Spill wine stain remover
ADAMS FOR LORD MAYOR
he should get breeches and hose though wearing this stuff over a business suit is embarrassing
we can give him a little outfit like this one he will love it
Votem no ensaio da Cat, ele de longe foi a melhor coisa que li sobre uvas transsexuais em qualquer ano da minha vida.
As a Londoner I believe the name for this post is "Lord Mayor"

Little do the cissies know the extent to which we dictate their culture...

THAT IS NOT SELTZER
way to distract from the severed hand
NO wait what
Democracy is important. You should vote whenever and however you can. That means if you don't vote for Cat in this vitally important wine writing competition, you are LETTING DEMOCRACY DOWN.

In a remarkable coincidence, Frank Sinatra’s rider for his dressing rooms is precisely what I require in every classroom I’m going to teach in.

Who will write the cultural history of spurious hyphenation? Note that not only does the kith marketing nonsense include two really egregious instances, @hellgatenyc.com itself isn't immune from inserting a specious hyphen between an adverb and its adjective

I set up a shop where you can buy physical copies of my comics here, if you don’t want to use my usual method of “just DM me”— right now it’s just to buy my most recent riso zine, since I can’t afford to do any in-person tabling this fall: comicsbysolomonbrager.bigcartel.com/product/swan...

Advice to All Men
Let‘s go on and wine about it:
this is incredible thank you
Hwær cwom?
Thank U Roz! In the unlikely event I win this it will be *hysterical*
Gorgeous piece by the intoxicatingly delightful Cat Fitzpatrick. Go. Read it. Vote for it.
GO TO THIS
You don't have to drink wine to be into wine-adjacent culture
support trans grapes!
THAT'S THE SPIRIT
Vote!
apologies in advance // I am going to be insufferable about this until the voting deadline on 15th September it takes three clicks to vote for me to WIN please help me exploit their poor competition design to promote transsexualism
I'm sorry but on some level my brain is in denial. Yvette Cooper really actually said to our refugee communities that they are not entitled to a right to a family life today
Get well, Mr. Mayor. Whoever did this is dethpicable.
I voted for your transsexual grape
THANK YOU!!!!
bluesky is not dying because this is still the only site where you can see if I am wearing a Cute Little Outfit today
Like honestly I was made up when they published it but I assumed that was the end of the thing // I can't believe they shortlisted it // I think this was perhaps a CRITICAL ERROR
If you are not a wine nerd it is hard to explain how funny this would be // I cannot believe the let me onto the shortlist
Okay everyone THIS IS IMPORTANT I made the SHORTLIST you can now VOTE for me to WIN the 2025 JANCIS ROBINSON WINE WRITING COMPETITION with my essay "Gewürztraminer: the most transsexual grape" I believe with the power of the transsexual internet we can do this thing! Please repost!
44/50! (that's 22/25!)
nothing like going literally anywhere else to remind you that new york city is the best place on earth
In Kochi City Station there’s a statue of Berobero No Kamisama, a nude, pink, spiral-eyed figure who is the local god for drunkards.
