One for the weekend... "“I’m a 300-pound Black mermaid in America over 35, and hopefully that tells somebody they can do whatever they want to do,” says [transwoman] Monique, " https://apnews.com/article/canada-sydney-621e29ea1810b66da54684aa6a1da4b7

"I wonder what this looks like if you move a bit, or just come round the corner." There's a couple of pictures at https://streetartutopia.com/2021/10/09/its-all-about-perspective/

"An appeal found the tribunal had erred in law and another should take place." "...today’s judgement establishing that a belief in biological sex is protected under the Equality Act." These two quotes seem to be at odds with one another - one saying "go back and look at it properly this time," the other "it was wrong, end of story."...

thing that’s good to know But.. which buttons have genitalia - how can you tell? Or do you just have to mindread which ones have identified as having them?

I’m confused as to what The Guardian means by “the P-word.” Pussy? Police? Pom? Given the context... Senior staff using the N-word and P-word, with colleagues labelled over-sensitive if they complained. ... I'm going to go with Paki

A buffet of cultural nourishment. I rather think she ate it all before we got here, David.

Apparently it can still be called lesbian sex, even if both women still have their penises... https://www.healthline.com/health/healthy-sex/how-do-lesbians-have-sex Usually, people use the term “lesbian sex” to mean sex between two women. ... Remember, also, that “lesbian sex” isn’t limited to cisgender couples.

And what are we to make of unmistakably White mob violence that also includes non-White participants? I did a quick search of the article, and failed to notice any use by Ms. Beltrán of the word "coconut." Is this an unfortunate omission by Ms. Beltrán, or just a case of excessive wordiness to avoid being accused of implying any unfortunate connotations such a word would otherwise have?

Angry bird. Ostrich : "Can you help with these directions good sir" "Sir?!" "Sir?!"

'my boss has my back' From the headline: ...and says next target is memorial to 'racist' Winston Churchill I wonder what they'll do when they find out who his opponent was...

Today, on ~~Dear Deardrie~~ Slate The “Uneven” Nonmonogamous Marriage I agreed to open our marriage for my husband. He’s loving it. I am not. Aunty's answer: It’s absolutely possible to have a consensual nonmonogamous relationship where only one half of the partnership has sex with others. TIL: "poly munches".

@Burnsie BTW, where's the audience? Social distancing. Far, far, away. Because they know what's good for them.

404 - damp patch not found

David! Sir!! I have a question!!!!one What would, to assume a gender, zie on the left, of that most artistically taken photograph, prefer I use as an accoutrement to my gin and tonic or vodka and slimline pepsi, instead? Also, what will happen about warble gloaming when zir's wish comes true and there's none left on the South Pole*?? --- *North pole doesn't count, for the same reason an ice cube melting in a glass of water with the meniscus above the rim, won't overflow. But you lot know that...

(And TypeKey login for Twitter is borken.) Appears to have been a Floudclare issue.

Well, anything absorbent. I happen to have an unread copy of the Grauniad handy... ‘Thirst traps’..? "Set a scene, get the right angle, reveal a little thigh, and snap! A thirst trap is a sexy photo posted on social media to attract attention. It can also refer to a person considered sexy—a social-media crush." You're welcome.

Don't these people have jobs? I mean normal jobs, not ones which involve publicly dildoing oneself. The ones that do that as an actual job, tend to be paid fairly well. Unlike, say, failed arts graduates writing for a newspaper. Or: Ciara Gaffney is a brand strategist for Deutsch [tagline: Not Germany or the bank.]

And perhaps faintly disturbing. Perhaps Sir could get some younger, or more attractive, friends? ;)

"Where is that?" 高椅岭风景区

Peanut putter?

I send a text message to Lynx telling her I’ll be late. Only later do I realise how presumptive this is: she doesn’t have cell service or WiFi.Feel free to scream quietly into your sleeves. Is loud guffawing permitted instead?

Disappointed by my unwavering desire, the day before Mother’s Day he called a single service, decided they were too expensive, and vowed to clean the bathrooms himself. Perhaps he may put in more effort when it comes to hiring a divorce attorney. The only surprise, given the tone of the article, is why he hasn't already availed himself of such a service already.

I think he leaned in and kissed me. He's not sure? Tsk!

you’re being barraged with distracting and unwanted toss Have fun: https://2018.bloomca.me/en

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility David!
