I use a similar @ - please find me.

@speakoutsister @HJoyceGender These people who do not see the consequences of their actions! These people who can't see the world they have created! Ah well, it's not as though no one told them. Oh... wait...

@HJoyceGender Yes because there's no feasible way for a charity to check the sex of people signing up for a course. And if for example,someone threatened to sue if if the course wasn't single sex, they have no way of guaranteeing it is. So they have to cancel it entirely

If boys and men are excluded then women and girls can have nothing at all apparently

@LGBwiththeT "Sex realist" = someone with a "C A T spells cat" level of biology.

Colin Wynter is a so called ‘Gender Critical’ extremist.

@PulpLibrarian Not as cool as the 1949 original (which I actually recall being re-hashed in the early 1960s as 'Do The Madison'). youtube.com/watch?v=VF_elJ…

Coast to Coast: The Hucklebuck (1981). That's how we used to get the party started!

@JessicasuAKA She actually read it! At least I'm impressed by that.

Sometimes I forget Woolf was posh as fuck

@crhealy72 @speakoutsister The king used to talk to plants. Oh.

@speakoutsister No wonder she gets funny stares, talking to toilet doors

An even MORE normal mumsnetter responds: "i photograph toilet doors (with permission) and get some very funny stares. I got very excited about s particular door grill once and told the train guard how good it was". How does a toilet door give permission to be photographed?

@miffythegamer Yes she speaks for the few -- the over-platformed, the loud, and the bullying.

At least giga-TERF fruitloop Roisin Murphy acknowledges that the anti-trans brigade are a tiny minority of deranged nutters.

@JessicasuAKA I loved looking after Freya while you were in shops.

Yeah and I lost both my cat Ravenclaw and dog Freya last year. My life or what I have left of it with terrible unmedicated pain now might be more bareable with my boy and girl still here. I miss them so much.

@theiaincameron Rebrand as Ayrshire Minor.

Ayrshire was warmer than Greece this afternoon.

@WillHayCardiff Must I tap the sign, Nige? 🤣

Nigel Farage has called Welsh people “Foreign speakers” in a Cameo video. I hate to break it to you Mr Farage, but if you read a history book you would realise English is more foreign in the UK than Welsh. He said: “Gutted I couldn’t attend the wedding. I wanted to come, but I heard that half the guests were Welsh, and I don’t know. Who knows what would have happened with all those foreign speakers there. I don’t know.” This is at a time that his party are trying to convince people in Wales that they should elect them to the Welsh Parliament. Big credit to the Guardian for breaking this story: theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-int…

@speakoutsister Exactly as judging between political left and right, it depends where you put the peg in the ground to mark the centre.

Is anyone else feeling mildly disturbed by Keir Starmer suddenly going woke?

@JessicasuAKA Oh come on, let's you and I go to this and hang around the Alumni Golf Clubhouse weirding everyone out! 🤣

Got this email and started cackling insanely. Even if I somehow could afford to just take a jolly to St Andrews I'd be like the phantom of the opera mentally. Current PhD scholars= Future unemployed scholars!

@PulpLibrarian Does this count? youtube.com/watch?v=rMxALY…

Whatever happened to people singing sea shanties online? Are these skills now lost to history?

@JessicasuAKA @CMerandi The "one size first all" approach is how they're trained. 🤷‍♂️

@DocPaperback @CMerandi The guy isn't he's just one of those docs who has a one size fits all approach. And he seems to think all drugs besides steroids are poison which is why it's mad he went into this area.

Had an emergency pain clinic appointment today. I had no expectations at all. The last two years have taught me to have none when trying to get my conditions taken seriously. The horror stories I'd heard were an understatement. I was somehow still let down. The man believed any painkillers cause everything from addiction (well yeah dependence on meds happens) to cancer (?!??) and even seemed to believe my mum with life limiting conditions should be on none. As to him chronic pain must just be endured? That's treating it? He decided my conditions were too generalised pain wise (only one is as I said to him) for him to give a steroid Jag (his preferred and seemingly only treatment for pain) then jumped on to integrating my mental health so he can (my dad and I think now) throw my case aside as just me being insane and depressed. I'm depressed as my mobility is worsening and I have no pain relief anymore nevermind anything effective. I nearly collapsed from weakness in my legs last saturday. He then tried to make me go to group meetings where they condescending tell you what your pain is and to deal with it as they as sure hell won't. I hope that Dr one day faces conditions like mine and gets to experience the other end of the patient doctor experience. It's always different when a doctor themselves finally experiences what they act an expert in while lacking any empathy for other humans. I honestly cannot understand why that man chose the discipline he did unless he actually is a sadist who does this on purpose.

@PulpLibrarian Get up and dance! youtube.com/watch?v=y1PE_Y…

Devil in a Blue Dress, by Walter Mosley. W.W. Norton & Co, 1990

@grannies4equal One day there WILL be a Nuremberg trial for these 'legislators'.

House arrest for transgender people. All the thugs, rapists, paedophiles, violent criminals, ICE agents roaming the streets freely, & it is trans people who are subjected to curfew - the length of time they can spend in the community depends on the strength of their bladder😡🤬

@miffythegamer Trump is 'n bobbejaan se anus! 😲

@JessicasuAKA @FibroFogFig Apart from anything else, Herbert deliberately chose names and cultures echoing Greece, Finland, Imperial Persia, and the Islamic world in order not to fall into the 'All-American Future' trap that much 20c sci-fi fiction fell into. Appropriation? Maybe, but it was worth a shot.

@FibroFogFig The point is she's doing that? Like making her kid a son against her cults rules as only a male could become this fremen prophet.

This film is just plain appropriation and daylight robbery of West Asian and North African people's language and culture atp considering the cast. If you didn't know who this white lady is, you'd think it's just a photo of an indigenous Algerian woman.

@ContraPoints Me too, if they occasionally break to let us know how the Test Match is going.

This is evil. I’ll probably make an appearance.
