A local charity is running a trans-only swimming event due to the hostility trans people face when swimming in public.
TERFs have responded by trying to get this event banned. Ghouls.
We’re not even allowed to exist away from them.
I want to scream.
Level 7: The scent represents only an intrinsic property, and a property that itself has no aroma, nor does it affect the aroma of any object of which it is a property.
Level 2: The scent represents a physical object in a specific state, where the aroma represented is not necessarily that of the object, but rather representative of that object's state (in this case, the clean-ness is the smell, not the cotton)
Level 3: The scent represents a location or event, where the aroma is supposed to be reminiscent of an intrinsic property held by a collective of objects, where that property doesn't necessarily affect the collective's aroma.
Level 6: The scent represents an abstract location or experience which has some shared understanding but is ultimately fully personal. The aroma tries to replicate an idea, as opposed to a location.
Level 4: The scent represents an event with an intrinsic property. This temporal aroma is devoid of location or physical property, but a shared idea of the property is still understood.
Graham Linehan, a man who implies people are groomers for wearing eyeshadow, is not who you should be looking to for moral guidance or any sort of sane thought
@dieseldog09
Probably an argument to be made that this is some sort of Zeroth Level candle, appealing to a base urge or sensation and utilising the scent which triggers that urge. More research needed before I'd be willing to add it to the hierarchy.
She was unabashedly fun-loving, grumpy, and flawed. She showed the realities of being a young trans person at a time when trans people are demonised and flanderised. I’m so happy she is being shown love by the folks in the studio

leaderboard update! It's now 'Dave complete', including some tweaking for Point Per Rabbit and Point Per Laminator, as well as accounting for Katy Wix's two episode absence.
@EdGambleComedy
takes the top spot!
Next week, Viking is just going to scream "I AM MORTEN HARKET" for two minutes, followed by Rita Ora speculating it might be Bobby Davro

I’m not asking you to live in an echo chamber, I’m just suggesting to consider if you want to see the opinions of a man who calls random people groomers for no reason
If after the news today, you decided it was appropriate to publicly harass a trans woman who had the audacity to appear on TV, you need to reevaluate your morals.

@BBCNews
They didn’t have the license to use the original location, which is why they moved.
But sure, why bother doing basic journalistic research when you can paint trans people as aggressive?
🚨 IQUELAND DENIERS 🚨
If it was called 'IQELAND' it would be pronounced the same as 'IKELAND'. Iquelanders added the 'U' after a landslide referendum result in the 1920s. This is crucial lore.
This is the sort of detail those pesky responders won't give you x
'Belfast' cannot win Best Picture due to the simple fact that the film shows a direct bus route to the city airport and we've never had a bus that goes directly to the city airport.
I hope The Academy takes this into consideration.
So I’ve been up to something over the past few months 💠

Some international reality TV news:
On the French version of 'Survivor', the finalists were discovered to have cheated during the show by getting food from outside sources. For the first time in Survivor history, no winner has been crowned.

global leader board with some much needed QOL improvements in anticipation of tonight's finale. If Liza scores ~30 points tonight, she'll return to the number 1 spot.
(Also if folks want to give me scores for the Swedish version and stuff that'd be great)

now that only connect has wrapped, i have a doozy of a life update to share 🥰
so, after filming ended in may 2022, i started chatting to an only connect writer i’d seen around on twitter for years, but had never properly talked to.
and you could say we hit it off :):):)
WRITER OF 'WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS':
And then we end on wishing them a happy new year, and that's the song 😊
FIGGY PUDDING MARKETING DEPARTMENT:
Great! Just one minor suggestion
Ultimately if Harry outplays them he deserves the money, but I struggle to think of a worse thing he could’ve said in his confessional than “I just had to turn off my emotions, like in the army”
#TheTraitors
Twitter last week: "I'm looking forward to getting a better understanding of Aspergers Syndrome with Anne appearing on I'm A Celebrity"
this week: "I now fully understand autism and can't stand Anne anymore because she's reacting differently from everyone else"

Christmas is that wonderful time of the year when

Only a true professional could eat this much cheese during the recording.

Tonight’s episode of
#TheTraitors
was an all-timer and shows two things that the show should focus on more:
- The Traitors having to earn their kills
- Challenges that are directly linked with the gameplay
Reminder to not villainise quiz show contestants. Things said lightheartedly to teammates can seem more piercing after the fact. You can enjoy the show and celebrate contestants without putting others down.

I've just noticed the kid behind the survivor threw the silver monkey out of the temple just before the door closed, where if he'd just held onto it and rolled through himself he'd have survived. Devastating.
One of the sweetest moments of Pride was a lovely person who stopped me in Victoria Square and said “You write for Only Connect don’t you?! I loved your password question from last week!”
Uppa queers 💕
Hello
#SquidGame
fans! Did you enjoyed Squid Game for the ever-changing format that the contestants had to adapt to, and the bonds that held those contestants together?
What if there was an actual Korean gameshow which had that same cerebral hook? There is! 🧵
