Good morning gays in my phone. I’m all ready to go for a run but it’s freezing fucking cold and pissing it down. How do I make myself do this? 😭

From FOI's to 36 local authorities, @translucent.org.uk found only TWO complaints:

1️⃣ Bradford: A complaint about the *policy*
2️⃣ Sheffield: Where the complainant *perceived* the person was trans (they could have been a butch lesbian or GNC cis woman!)

⚠️ There are 11K+ public bathrooms in the UK!

In danger of being THAT 40-something, but feeling how much harder it is to train from de-trained than the first time around.

I’m old and it’s all just a bit harder, but also the milestones don’t feel new. It’s a bit demotivating. It’s so hard not to compare to the past and be like “that’s 💩”.

I really need to stop procrastinating and go to the gym now. Not least so that I look 🔥 in this fetching straps and combats combo.

Home made chicken kebab with herby flat bread, mixed salad, pickles, olives, and piri-piri mayo & mango ketchup.

I’ve cooked dinner but told the hubby not to rush as can leave his.

Problem is, I can’t open the jar of olives with my apparently puny & weak hands.

So I’m having to wait for him to come rescue me with his muscles.

Have you ever disliked a tv character so deeply that you struggle to disconnect it from the actor?

Realisation for me, I have two:

- Tim, the office (Freeman)
- Jack, W1A (Bailey)

Both characters that bullied someone with poor social skills.

I don’t know what this speaks to in my insecurities.

11 months intermittent weight tracking. I’m pretty exactly where I started. What does this tell me?

- when I try the weight drops off
- I have problems with consistency
- I have behavioural triggers for weight gain
