Q Manivannan has become the first trans-identifying MSP in Scottish history. Manivannan, who described themself as a 'trans, Tamil immigrant', was elected on the Edinburgh and Lothians East list. Speaking from the podium, Manivannan told a crowd of Green activists: “I am, to some in this country, everything that the hateful despise, and I'm standing here as your MSP now with care. “They say politics is the art of the possible. A politics of care, I'd say, expands what's possible for everyone left behind, pushed out, or never invited in. A scholar I love called Saidiya Hartman wrote that the holes that bind us are also the bonds that free. “Every barrier placed before me with the Greens was the reason also that we pushed further. And this is what diversity looks like in power.” 👇

In 1705, an Irish woman named Marjorie McCall fell gravely ill with a fever in Lurgan, Ireland. Believing she had died, her family hastily buried her to prevent the spread of contagion. Her husband, John McCall, a local physician, had been unable to remove her valuable ring because her finger was badly swollen — a detail that soon attracted the attention of grave robbers. That same night, body snatchers dug up the fresh grave. Unable to pull the ring from her finger, they began cutting it off. The sudden flow of blood shocked the still-living Marjorie out of her deep coma. She sat upright in the coffin and screamed, terrifying the robbers, who fled and reportedly never returned to their grim trade. Covered in dirt and still wearing her burial clothes, Marjorie climbed out of the grave and walked home. When she knocked on the door, her husband John, still in mourning, jokingly remarked that if his wife were alive, he would swear it was her at the door. Upon opening it and seeing Marjorie standing before him — alive, bleeding, and in her shroud — he collapsed from shock and died on the spot. John McCall was later buried in the grave originally dug for his wife. Marjorie survived the ordeal, eventually remarried, and had several children. When she died many years later, she was laid to rest in Shankill Cemetery in Lurgan. Her headstone famously reads: “Lived Once, Buried Twice.”

If you are an actual Scottish person and not some of imported voter, or someone voting a certain way because of you football club, and you voted the SNP or the Green party, just know this... 1. You are literally among the stupidest most retarded people walking the earth, far more dense than the immigrant zombies that stroll the streets at night, dressed up like a hobo and prowling on our women. 2. Your brain is smooth, like a grape or some other small easily washable soft fruit. 3. You're a probable paedo, or have extreme sexual kinks, or both, and by voting for either of these parties you have confirmed that you would like to also enable paedophilia. 4. All SNP/Green supporters should be investigated for these links. 5. You have my utter contempt.
