is it not the greatest thing that Dani Harmer (aka Tracy Beaker) is so vocal and forthright about her support for LGBTQ+ rights

Bewilders me how people still use X. Like it’s been proven to have a racist AI thing, is owned by a neo-Nazi and from what I remember, is CRAMMED full of ads. Just a deeply unpleasant platform and even though it’s where I formed a lot of friendship/got jobs etc… I just would never go back

it’s funny because the only people who can truly verify this must be well over the age of 50 and can also be the only people to blame
"What is certain, and felt instinctively by almost everybody, is that things cannot go on in their present way" – The Times, May 1975
