A hedgehog came & self-annointed himself with @mister_goldfish's hair cuttings. This is when a hedgehog finds a smell he likes, licks the smelly thing then licks himself all over to make himself smell of it (in this case, it's probably @TheBodyShopUK Ginger Shampoo).

Wife has been at MCM Comic Con for the last three days. Her final day of cosplay was as Guillermo from What We Do In The Shadows. She came down to breakfast at the hotel and there were Harvey Guillén and Kayvan Novak - Guillermo and Nandor - having theirs. [1/2]

@NortherlyRose Thank you so much for sharing your lovely walk. It has been very helpful to me this morning when I've woken up early and angsty.

Jake was remarkably tolerant of being pounced on by Waffle as we made our way back along the river past the teal bridge. I was tired but refreshed. It was time to head home for me to do some work and the dogs to have a lovely long sleep. #SensoryJoy #AutisticJoy #walking 10/ end

@activevirtues happening, I was being called a lesbo, a nasty pussy-eater etc. I attempted suicide barely a year after leaving the last school with honors bc I couldn't accept myself. These people have no idea the danger they're putting us in, and even if they did, they'd rather see us dead.

I taught for over a decade. My first year teaching, a girl I taught got caught kissing another girl behind the gymnasium. She begged our admin not to tell them it was a girl - just say she got caught kissing someone. They refused. The next day she came in with a swollen jaw.

Speaking as an ex-teacher, it's not a breach of Safeguarding to not tell parents. In fact, the opposite is true. Its a breach of Safeguarding to inform the parents without the child's permission.

35 years ago at the height of the AIDS crisis, 35 policemen raided The RVT wearing rubber gloves. Lily Savage was on stage at the time, and she said: ‘Well well, it looks like we’ve got help with the washing up.’

@obscureglory @DocPhoenix Same. I thought, they were upset about "Gingerbread People" but now all the Gingerbread genders are unacceptable! Presumably Genderbread is the even spicier verison?

I’ve just had of those train journeys you’re never going to forget The guy next to us starts talking. He says he wants to say something - and that we are free to ignore him after he finishes. Naturally people sitting around stare awkwardly at the floor, pretending not to hear

If media work experience isn’t normally accessible to you because of disability or illness, I’m so happy to say @guardian will be including a remote placement as part of this year’s positive action scheme. Same opportunity. From your sofa. Apply here: workforus.theguardian.com/index.php/entr…

🧵 Today we publish a report showing that the majority of those men, women and children who cross the Channel on small boats would be granted asylum in the UK because they are fleeing war and persecution. Here’s how the Home Office tried to rubbish our report last night….
