huh. Google says American cider is just unfiltered apple juice

I stand by what I said though: hot mulled (alcoholic) cider is great

Mulled cider is fucking banging. You’re missing out if you’ve never had it

The headline comes up if you Google it, and it is accurate that she voted in a TV poll, phoning in repeatedly, according to the biography.

The fact that the express is obsessed with Diana is the better thing to go after the journalist for.

headline from the express (who’d’ve guessed that’s where a headline about Diana would be from??)

Username checks out :P

I have a bag in my wardrobe with washbag, rollmat, sleeping bag, chargers, and spare clothes, in case I need to head somewhere in a hurry

And to (hopefully) celebrate the UK election results

Quite a lot of people; if op is feeling unconfident in their body, I’d recommend them just looking at the thirst for bears lol

You are more than welcome, and I’m so glad that you and your boyfriend have found happiness and each other. To many more years of it!

This is it, I think: that when a straight person is in our space, it’s OUR space, and the rules and norms are in place for our safety and comfort.

Could and already does, which is depressing :(

To add, this is not a hypothetical; it has real world consequences. When I was at uni, there was a queer night at the college bar. One of the guys there went off at my friend because my friend was in a straight relationship and had turned up. My friend got upset and left. My friend is bisexual, and at the time wasn’t out and was taking baby steps into the queer scene.

If you heavily police who is and isn’t allowed at queer nights, you bar those that benefit from it most: those who aren’t already a part of a queer community, and looking to test the waters.

Not only that, but you end up making cishet passing queers feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Questioning or early transition trans people already have vanishingly few spaces where they can feel welcome and, crucially, safe, without having to worry about whether they’ll have their validity picked at by the Gay Police TM. Aces also have their validity questioned a lot too, which is cringe.

Bottom line: don’t try to police who is and isn’t allowed in queer spaces.

I recommended this to someone else in the thread too, but I found Kat Blaque’s video really helpful as an explanation, because if you’re not familiar with the subculture the reasoning can be quite confusing.

I felt the same way initially, just because I hadn’t really been exposed to it prior, and had a lot of misgivings. I found Kat Blaque’s video on the subject quite helpful just in giving context – well worth a watch!

Also don’t forget the historic aspect – when queerness was viewed as sexually deviant and perverted, it was the kink community that stood by us. Just because we’ve evolved to be socially acceptable doesn’t mean we should leave everyone else behind

I’m not sure that’s an enjoying it face.

could be CSF leak.

Unlikely, but can be experienced by e.g. rugby players after a serious head injury.

Interesting choice to associate neurodivergence with serial killer behaviour haha

Fish and chips was invented by Jewish immigrants. Our food is a melting pot of different influences from a myriad of different cultures, and we like it that way.
