A straight woman with power and influence dismissing one of the main LGBTQ+ publications in the county as a 'comic' because they won't lick her feet and tell her she's wonderful - yep, sounds about right ๐Ÿ™ƒ PS Said straight woman is no ally, FYI.

Not only is blocking the Scottish GRA reforms a dick move on Sunak's part, it's also (a) proof that the UK is not a union of equals and (b) another distraction from the absolute shit show that is the current government. PS Trans rights are human rights.

Next time someone tries to tell you that more people in Scotland speak Polish than Gaelic or Scots, direct them to the last Scottish census where it will tell you the following: - just over 17k speak Polish, - around 60k speak Gaelic, - around 1.5 million speak Scots.

The awkward moment when you see a GC quoting the lyrics to 'I Won't Back Down' by Tom Petty in her bio, but:

@KatyMontgomerie I ended up trying it out of sheer curiosity earlier this year and it didn't accept me either. I'm a cis woman as well.

After hearing various reports about this app's rather dodgy verification system, I thought I'd try it for myself for a laugh. Made three attempts and got KB'd, and that was without my specs and with plenty light. Did I mention I'm cis?

@AngryBlackLady Someone hacked my sister's PayPal account and defrauded her. However they made the mistake of leaving their address on her account so when she shared it to FB I sent them a glitter bomb. I know that's tame compared to some of the stories here but I'm still proud of it.

Right, my mentions are getting skelped even with restricted replies so I'm gonna mute it for now. Enjoy. Also hi to the new followers, I'll reciprocate when I'm not being punished by the 5k limit.

@SloaneFragment He really doesn't realise that they'll come for him next. Did he not see how they were with Graham Norton?

@random_c @dropoutninja Yeah, I'm the same - I know people are railing against automation but the self scan machine isn't going to awkwardly attempt pointless small talk with me to keep its boss happy.

For what it's worth I'm aware this is an old joke and that several folk on Twitter shared it before me. It's been on my own radar for about a decade. This is me not laying claim to it, but I hope it's amused you all the same.

Just a reminder that asexuality and celibacy aren't the same thing, asexuality is not a choice and celibacy is. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

@ICanSeeForever1 Jesus - JKR actually siding with a domestic abuser despite all the times she's spoken out about surviving it herself. Even for her that's an appalling lack of self awareness.

@mrjamesob I'm nearly 34 and when I was in school letters home were always addressed to 'parent or guardian' - I always guessed it was to accommodate those living with other relatives for whatever reason.

Why do Norwegian navy ships have bar codes? So when they get to port, they can Scandinavian.

Love how, when I tweet in Shetland dialect, folk mocking me for it sneer at the fact that I won a writing award and question how when I can't 'write properly'. Doesn't occur to them that the award came from a Scottish organisation and that I got it for writing in Scots.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but art is subjective and everyone likes what they like. So if you see someone saying they enjoyed a thing you personally didn't, don't piss on their good time. Thanks very much.
