"Brain stops developing at age 25" factoid actually just statistical error. Brain continues developing lifelong. Shakespeare Georg, who lived in a cave and died on his 25th birthday, was an outlier...
Reminder that, as far as we know, your brain keeps developing until it dies. That part about age 25 was just when they stopped checking

Really thinking about how annoying the "questioning their gender" framing is. Kids who are socially transitioning are not questioning their gender. They have questioned it and come to the answer that they're trans

Age verification? We were supposed to make sure we always had 10p in our pocket in case we had to make a telephone call
Age verification?
We had 3 TV channels, and they all stopped by midnight.

There was little or no home internet and you went to a library or computer lab to go online

When I was about 22 and got a job stacking frozen chicken, I thought buffalo wings were extra large wings, like you might say jumbo shrimp. When someone explained about the city, it was a disappointment

Sometimes I remember how my ex put deniable pressure on me to dominate him in ways I wasn't sure about and then shamed me for needing time to process my feelings about it

It's so cool that "How's it going" can mean "I'd like to chat but I'm not sure what about" or "I want something from you but I think it's rude to ask straight out"

Just saw someone tediously claiming it's not a women's space unless you have a guarantee that everyone present was born with a vagina. Out of morbid curiosity, I checked their profile and discovered they also think Keir is doing a great job of not being Farage

I keep wanting to write about how "resilience" is like Crossfit for the psyche. The theory is that you train yourself by dealing with shit, but in practice you end up overtraining and doing horrible damage

Dear cis people, telling me about your other trans friend, who used to be [his deadname] just like I used to be [my deadname] is really not a great way to show what a good trans ally you are

"If everyone who isn't transphobic leaves the Labour Party, what does that achieve?"
Well I'm not a fancy political strategy but it seems like it would signal to the Labour leadership that transphobia is a vote loser? You know, the only language they understand?

Lots of people on here seem to be cosplaying as Labour MPs and I've got to say that's even more pathetic than the real thing because you don't even get Taylor Swift tickets out of it

Someone whose front door opens pretty much directly onto the main road has put a sign on their door saying "You're on camera! Ha ha!" and I feel like this sort of thing needs to be much more socially stigmatised

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression.
CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?
DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.
C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name?
DR: Now look

"Dicks are great and vaginas are too icky to even name properly but I still want to fuck women" There's a thesis in there for anyone with the stomach to analyse it
O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

It is a little bit annoying when I set a boundary with someone and they say sorry (for transgressing the boundary I only just set?) I don't need you to be sorry, just understand what I'm saying now

Warehouse doors are propped open to make it easier to take scrap outside
Shop manager: do these doors need to be open?
Me, under my breath: until we work out how to phase ourselves and the scrap through a closed door, yes

Ah yes those right wing views that you can only learn about by listening to podcasts and not, say, by walking into any random newsagent or listening to national radio for an hour
I love when people (who claim to be) on the left are like, "I get out of my bubble and listen to right-wing podcasts; that makes me better than the rest of you who are brainwashed by your echo chamber!" as though my job for years wasn't consuming almost exclusively right-wing content.
