If anyone on here follows me on Instagram, please note that my Insta account has been hacked. It's not me trying to flog you dodgy Oasis tickets! Sorry about that. Lots of people have reported it now so I hope they will shut the account down

Googling fluffy Ecuadorian trousers. I would look like Foghorn Leghorn in these and I must have them

Mr Ecuador. Look at how happy he is. This is a chap who is just *thrilled* to be there. Also look at how tiny his feet look peeping out of those giant fluffy trousers.

5/7 We’re also disappointed that Brighton & Hove City Council promised to fly the trans flag over both town halls this weekend in solidarity, then backed out, citing Black History Month. As if intersectionality doesn’t exist. Once again, our community is pushed aside by institutions.
