Dear 17 year old me about to go on her first London Pride March ever. Don’t worry, it’s going to be great. In 30 years you are going to be so comfortably gay you’re gonna shit rainbows. Happy Pride x Love Yanny x

My 12 year old niece just told me that Grease IS a great movie. But It’s just a shame Sandy has to change everything about her just so a boy will like her. And the SHE (my niece) would never do that. BOOM. That’s when I exploded with pride. #lovewhoyouare

Newsflash: the bakers HAVE NO SAY on who gets eliminated. Yes you are entitled to your opinion. But if you @ a baker and say they should have left is equivalent to ringing their doorbell and shouting it at them on the doorstep. And that’s not cool. #bekind
