I will never get over the fact a female Labour MP was assassinated by a neo-Nazi in 2016 and the British press and establishment basically didn't respond. The degree to which that event is a non-event in British collective memory is actually shocking.
the episode of Drag Race UK where they come back after 7 months of lockdown and do the UK Hun girl group challenge is kind of one of the most iconic TV episodes of any show ever
Bimini Bon Boulash on the BBC exposing the expendability of workers under capitalism and the inadequacy of the British welfare state to meet the needs of its populace... wig
It's Valentine's Day, so we're going back to 1964 and an episode of Marriage Today that looked at the future of relationships. Young and old reflect on their experiences, and share their opinions on the matter.
remember when Kameron Michaels tweeted a notes app screenshot seething with rage for having been disgraced and humiliated being forced to lipsync to Boom Clap by Charli XCX? that was camp in retrospect. I'm laughing
That double eviction on Big Brother was the first time in my adult life a political vote fell on the side of justice and progress. I don't know this feeling!
#BBUK
in the line 'I like it rough but my lentils tender' poet Bimini Bon Boulash subverts the pop music cliché of 'liking it rough' by juxtaposing it absurdly with her culinary preference for boiled legumes
Kylie Sonique Love is one of the best ever Drag Race contestants tbh. the glamour! the competence and talent! the self-actualisation! extraordinary vibes
perhaps it's only because AOC is a celebrity but at least the American media is treating her attempted assassination by fascists as newsworthy and important
My fash father was going on a pro-eugenics rant saying "I've never met a clever child with stupid parents" and my sister said "well look around this room"
keep thinking about how Bimini could have dressed as an icon everyone would know but instead chose to honour a friend and mentor who has supported queer people on the ground for like 40 years... actually treasuring community
Chelsea Manning downloading US military secrets onto a CD-RW labeled 'Lady Gaga' and successfully leaking them to the world remains one of history's most iconic events
I don't understand why you would risk garnering a reputation as a gang of liars to make tiny gains in probably the safest Labour seat in the entire country lol
the notion a black person defaced the fucking Falkirk Wheel, a day trip attraction for pensioners positioned in semi-rural central Scotland where 99% of people are white... I honestly have to laugh
This is the most interesting thing in the world. There was a persecuted class of people in medieval France and Spain called Cagots, and no modern historian can really work out why they were persecuted
honestly the biggest crime in the history of music is Band Aid singing "where nothing ever grows, no rain or rivers flow" about Africa, a continent which accounts for a quarter of the world's biodiversity
to make a dance song bop that is contemplative and mournfully-celebratory so that deceased queer people can be remembered in a setting apart from the doom of crisis narrative... she understood her assignment
I tried to explain this outfit to a straight man at the function. 'French OnlyFans actor who pretends to be an NPC in a military-themed gay porn game, hugely iconic and hot' — he looked at me like I was speaking a different language. and I was
This is nothing but a barefaced boast but I fucked a friend who is really fucking funny and as we lay together I asked him how he knows how to always say something funny and he said "the same way you know how to always say something interesting" and I've never felt more validated
still kind of annoyed at Drag Race UK uncritically presenting the idea that a person transmitting a bacterial infection to another person is a breach of trust or necessarily malintented. that poor boy was probably as ashamed/uncomfortable/naive as Tayce was
I reckon we *should* change it to "you scumbag you sweaty, you cheap lousy hetty" if only to watch the straights get annoyed about being the focus of derision
it's Lily Allen's birthday today, let's all note she wrote the best opening line to a song—"riding through the city on my bike all day cos the filth took away my license"
