I should add that I dyed my hair pink again in my 30s (and i haven’t ruled out doing it again in my 40s), and I took out my piercings (other than my earlobes) because my body rejects them.

If Kid Rock is so offended by “chicks running around on campuses with blue hair & 5 nose rings” then he should stop being a creep & hanging round college campuses. I had pink hair & a pierced belly button when I was at uni 20+ years ago. Experimenting with self expression is nothing new.

Kid Rock: Do you know what is stupid… these chicks running around on campuses with blue hair, five nose rings.

Centrist politics is dead in the UK

It's

Green Party - left wing progressive, caring society, equality, inclusion

Vs

Reform UK - far-right, ultra nationist, promotes selfishness avarice, war, inequality, discrimination, persecution of minorities, misogyny, cronyism, xenophobia/extreme racism

The man who renamed the Department of Defence to the Department of War is somehow shocked that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Tayris and Catrin awkwardly flirting on Drag Race UK is so adorable

I’m imagining a bland Hillsongs
style CCM song and not a funky, upbeat Kirk Franklin/Sounds of Blackness style gospel song

If they've got you angry with tamale vendors, museum displays and trans kids, you are their perfect dumbass and whatnot.

It took my friend dying for the BBC to finally pay attention to the allegations against Tim Westwood. Today he was charged with 4 counts of rape & sexual assault, but I know there are many more victims. I have little faith in the justice system, but I hope he gets locked up for a long time.

When Ty passed away in 2020, Tim Westwood had the audacity to make an ”RIP, brother” post on Instagram. He blocked me when I called him out on it. A few months later, I was contacted by a researcher from the BBC who was making a documentary about the allegations against Westwood

🧵My friend Ty was a rapper. He was convinced the BBC had blacklisted him for speaking out against Tim Westwood. Multiple Black women & girls told Ty what Tim had done to them, & he believed them & refused to stay silent. His music career suffered as a result but his integrity meant more to him.

My phone just autocorrected “Bill Burr” to “Bill Butt”. That’s how I’m going to refer to him from now on.

We are changing our antifa secret handshake to slap-slap-fistbump-fistbump. Then you snap your fingers once, eat everyone's pets, and make everyone within 50' instantly become trans. Pass it along.

The headline was perfect as it was. Trump is Cankles. That’s his nickname. It’s short for ‘Cankles McTaco Tits’ as coined by @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social.

This is an ironic meme (am I using the term “ironic” correctly?) considering Matt Groening is allegedly on the list. He definitely flew on Epstein’s jet at least.

Promoters: “Oh, you got funded? Can you help me with my bid please? I’ve applied loads of times & got rejected!”
Me: ”Sorry, I hired a bid writer because I’m disabled & neurodivergent so I couldn’t write my own bid. Anyway can you book me please?
Promoters:*silence*

🧵Promoters when I try to get them to book me: “You’ve got potential. Why don’t you sign up for our open mic! Do you have much performance experience?”
Me: “I did a solo show at Ed Fringe, I’m a multiple poetry slam winner, I played drums in a West End show, I received an Arts Council Grant…”

I have ME and I walk with a stick. Yesterday, I was heading home & I was exhausted. I was right outside my building when a woman came out of the shop next door so I moved to let her pass. Instead of saying thank you, she said “another scrounger getting PIP off the government“. I don’t even get PIP

I just moved out of the way to let a woman walk past me on the pavement even though I was struggling with my walking stick and heavy shopping trolley. Instead of saying thank you, she said “another scrounger getting PIP off the government“. I don’t even receive PIP.

They lost so many subscribers after the Jimmy Kimmel incident and they’re going to lose even more due to the price increase. They’re so desperate that they’re offering a 3 month standard subscription for £4.99 a month to anyone who tries to cancel. It’s tempting, but I turned it down on principle

After trying and failing multiple times to cancel my Disney+ subscription (I got an error message every time), I just received an email from them informing me of a price increase. I finally managed to cancel it, but only after they offered to cut my bill in half for 3 months. I still cancelled.

I’m only on episode 2 and I’m hooked! There’s a lot of low budget crap on Tubi, but a few hidden gems too.
