Remembering the time I was at a party in England and a posh girl was like "When I say UK I mean England bc who gives a fuck about the other places". She then clocked I was Scottish and said the worst possible thing you can say in that situation: "Apart from Edinburgh, obviously!"

Let's face it, Pride is special because of the class solidarity element. There's loads of (great) media out there about queer liberation but Pride's explicit message of solidarity with people outside the queer community is 1) what was great and 2) what we should aim for
you ask a British queer person about the film Pride (2014) and their eyes glaze over with tears immediately

An already v boring date with a man with 0 chat. He asks if I have siblings, I say I did but my sister died.
Him: oh.
Me: yeah I'm never sure how to answer that because I don't want to lie, but it is awkward.
Him: you could say you don't have a sister, because you don't anymore.

Been thinking about this a lot
As TERFs in Britain pour energy into stopping trans women accessing female electoral lists, trans women in Ireland have been fighting for pregnant people's rights to bodily autonomy.
Trans women have done more for our rights than terfs. Fuck you.
To all the TERFs who said Irish feminists would lose the vote because they accepted trans people, up yours!

Worth mentioning that I've met Labour campaigners in Scotland and in England who speak about the SNP with an unbridled violent rage and fury that I've never seen them direct at the tories. It's very odd.
“we support an immediate ceasefire but only if we’re the ones calling for it not the SNP because we don’t like them” is an absolutely insane position for labour to have manoeuvred themselves into

Lots of high profile leftists as well as people I personally knew said the women were definitely lying and it was a set up, and George Galloway famously said even if they weren't lying having sex with a sleeping person isn't rape, and now he's an MP so this is all really cool.

I listened to a series on the BBC last year called History of Delusions, where each episode they'd explore a delusion in the past and interview someone who'd experienced it in modern day. Every single person said they wouldn't have gotten out the delusion w/out social support.
i used to think i could never be inducted into a cult or fall for a scam. Then i was in a relationship where my reality was clouded, he convinced me i was insane and mentally ill, and that only he could save me. I realized that thinking i was immune was what made me the most
