I feel really, really sad.

All the teachers, leaving their work until the last Sunday afternoon of the holidays like we tell the kids not to *slow disappointed head shake*

This is the courtyard outside The Cursed Child in the West End covered in protest chalk for Trans Day of Visibility. Well done, London. Well done.

This is the courtyard outside The Cursed Child in the West End covered in protest chalk for Trans Day of Visibility. Well done, London. Well done.

It's Trans Day of Visibility, but a shout out to the invisible trans people - the ones who haven't realised, the ones who haven't shared it, and, sadly, the ones for whom it's just too dangerous to be yourself in public.

I might not see you, but I know you're out there.

If you're cis, putting your pronouns in your bio or username makes it normalized and ubiquitous and thus slightly reduces the vulnerability of trans / nonbinary folks.

Hello Bluesky hivemind. I’ve always avoided horror movies because I’m a bit of a wuss, but I love stranger things and twin peaks which both have horror elements to them. How do they compare, scariness-wise, with other horror films / tv shows?

Going “I knew he was a bad ‘un” when I am utterly lacking in any kind of intuitive powers and to be honest just found him a bit annoying

A screen shot from one of the Thor films (Thor: Ragnarok), with a dark haired pale skinned woman wearing dark eye makeup and clothing (Cate Blanchett playing Hela, Thor's elder sister) holding her arm straight out, braced against Thor's hammer that has been thrown at her. The scene is over a green field under a cloudy gray sky. The hammer is labeled "It's basic biology". She is labeled "Advanced Biology".

"But Harry Potter was a big part of my childhood!" Well, so was shitting your pants.

Is there anything sexier than filling your dating profile with rules about how other people should use the dating app

When I was about 13 I really wanted a dog but my parents wouldn’t let me get one. That was over 30 years ago so if we had got one that dog would be long dead by now, so i guess they made the right decision

This week has been a weird and intense mix of emotions. Not complaining, feeling more alive to be honest. Knackered though

"the good news is that we have found a relatively cheap and easy way to prevent the cast from going through puberty. the bad news is that not everybody in this room is going to like it".
