A Writing Competition I Was Going To Participate In Again This Year Has Announced That They Now Allow

Q: What made you want to start work, like become an ally to the community? What prompted you to say, do you know what, this injustice has gone on long enough.

David: When I was a teenager, there was this thing that Mrs. Thatcher's government introduced called Section 28, which was about stopping the "promotion" of homosexuality in schools, which was a weird umbrella term, which was basically saying it was illegal to talk about being gay in school or to suggest that that might be a normal way of behaving. We look back on that now as a medieval, absurd thing to try and say. And I think the way the trans community is being demonised and othered is exactly the same.

"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

I just want you to know that the American Bar Association has come out against Trump's blatant violation of the law and is calling for all lawyers to do the same.

Very impressed by the cross sign Aziraphale is doing during the Job minisode... He is, what, 6 centuries before Jesus' birth? What a visionary! xD

I came across one of those old school anti-sexism posts on facebook that highlight sexism by swapping the male and female words, you know the kind (it was calling a firefighter a "male firewoman" instead of a fireman), and of course everyone in the comments was getting in on the bit, and I was gifted with the greatest word I've seen in many years in which one of the people doing the bit was talking about male firewomen getting hysterical in crisis situations

And used the word "testerical"

TESTERICAL. I LOVE IT.

Just saw an interview where Michael Sheen says John Taylor from Duran Duran was his first ever crush

So, I googled John Taylor

and this came out:

Apparently this was his style in the 1993s???

And now that's a very familiar look....

"Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest, and then I'll murmur agreement, not actually say anything, I'm not as stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard ...

But no one said anything. The cowards, each man thought."
