I'm an old biddy, retired, interested in science, sci fi, humour, cute animal videos, real ale, good food all the usual stuff

Sadly I've become rather political as my Gov't seems intent on destroying my country & I hate politics

LGBTQ+ ally, atheist/humanist if you're religious that's OK

Religion is like a penis, it's OK to have one & be proud of it
But don't thrust it anywhere without an invite by someone old enough to understand what it is

When I was in school (middle school?) we had a really famous noodle shop in our cafeteria. People loved the noodles so much that there was a huge outpouring of grief when the uncle passed away.

When school security got tighter and ex students (who were now adults) were not allowed to go in to the school to eat there, people were very sad.

Whenever there was a school reunion it was often a chance to eat ‘uncle’s noodles’ again, like we had giant tables and everybody just had the same noodles we had in our adolescence.

It was a legitimately good bowl for noodles compared to stuff outside of school, and it was god tier for school food.

His wife continued his legacy.

The Bear, right on the button on racism, Nigel Farage & ReformUK:

'The question isn’t whether [Farage] was a rancid little racist at sixteen, it’s how he came to build a political brand that so successfully normalises suspicion, resentment and exclusion - and how he is still able to act so terribly wounded (and get away with it) when the people that are attracted to that brand express it too honestly'!

Reform is an infrastructure for racism!

Reform UK Doesn’t Just Have a Racism Problem - It Has a Racism Infrastructure

Why focusing on Farage’s past misses how racism is incentivised, normalised and repeatedly rewarded in the present

Sometimes I'll be feeling meh, or maybe a little down, and while I'm browsing I'll run across some trans girl's glowup/timeline and instantly I'll feel a little brighter.

Trans girls, even if you don't look like you want to (goodness knows precious few of us are truly "there" yet), you gotta know:

You're beautiful, and I see you.

Just soft blocked a person who boosted a "jokey" post from a US military loving type person, making light, and even revelling in, using a hand grenade designed to create maximum shrapnel.

Fuck you both, you fucking ghouls.
