Just spent so long finding the picture of Luigi’s manacled ankles to show Boyfriend. We honestly do have important discussions about politics but we’re also very gay and online.

For Disability Pride Month I’m once again begging for more artists to start considering accessibility and add alt text to your images. It helps low/no vision folks, neurodivergent folks, and more. Plus alt text shows up in searches! There’s a toggle in settings so you won’t forget. 👇

Don’t vote Labour. Tell your friends. Tell your family. If they have any consideration for you as a trans person, as a person at all, tell them that they should not vote Labour: www.thenational.scot/news/2442494...

Finally gave Ghosts a go and just couldn’t see why so many of you are fanatical about it. Then I watched the second episode. What an incredibly beautiful show. Perfect performances and so very silly. Still have three seasons to watch 🙏🥰

Erm, BBC, if all she did was "express critical opinions" why don't you report them? Is it because these were the opinions?

I have a week to make rent and I am absolutely nowhere near currently.
If it interests you at all, please try it. It's only £5 and at this point I'm really getting desperate.
It's 16% off for an annual subscription and that's realistically my best chance of getting enough at this point.
