My favourite thing about Manchester's public transport Bee Network is when the buses get back to the bus station and drive around in a massive waggle dance to tell the other buses where Chorlton is

Apps are always asking me 'mute? block? report? don't recommend? downvote?' when the only option I want or need is "Imagine I am your grand vizier and I have yelled "ENOUGH!" without explanation."

People were arguing in my mentions today about whether the Earth is "round" when it's technically an irregular oblate spheroid and look "round" doesn't mean "absolutely perfect sphere" it means round. A soccer ball is round, a cantaloupe is round, a fluffy borb in winter is round, just go with it.

I lost my wife. I listened today to at Trans Day of Remembrance to people suffering from loss, trauma, and grief.
And I witnessed a racist transphobe incapable of sympathy. I cannot comprehend them and they must be stopped.

You know who the real problem for a sane society is? Someone who listens to another human expressing grief and trauma and loss and all they can feel back is hate.
