This is rather spot on for Farage and Clacton-On-Sea. Lol

Biker babe, Lincoln Park. I've only been here two months. I just caught myself thinking "looks like the tide's in".

This is why we (humans) use a social construct - assigned at birth after a *very* cursory inspection - which functions ok for *most* people. But not all. And that shouldn’t be a problem. Because why would it be?

"Biological sex" can mean - external phenotype - internal organs - hormones - chromosomes Use all four, and you'll divide the population four different ways - and with four different groups of "neither". "Biological sex" is incoherent. And all because the 'phobes are scared of AGAB.

I could write a whole article on "biological sex". Maybe I will, one day (although many other people already have). The key points are: 1. It isn't the immutable dimorphic characteristic the 'phobes think it is, and 2. sex assigned at birth is as much a social as it is a "biological" marker.

After a bit of a search in the neighborhood, and some asking around, today I found THAT house.

Fuckity bye, Joanna Cherry. One of the night’s best Portillo moments.

Weird way of phrasing it when the biggest SNP transphobe lost her seat, but the Guardian is going to Guardian I guess

Up on the roof with my sweetie

The first 4th of July holiday on which the president can stop all the election nonsense, and appoint his first-born son as his successor. As long as it's an Official Act. That high-pitched, manic giggling you can hear is coming from George III's tomb.

Oh, you got her a diamond? Because I got her

Have we done anything about this here, have we said anything

Happy Almost Empty Office Day!

Exercising my Chicago superpower this morning (missing trains). But I did get to see the Pride train going the other way.

“Shouldn’t” is just terrorising my mind i’m not rotating it in my mind it is violently shaking and lurching around outside of my control

Another sign I'm adjusting to this place. Tomorrow's a "go into the office" day. I checked the forecast, and it's only going to be 86°F. Not bad.

Working from home, in an office / music room which FINALLY looks like an office / music room. Only a couple of moving boxes left!

Don't vote Labour. They hate us as much as the Tories.

Love to see trans girls happy and thriving

On our rooftop deck, and feeling like queen of the city. (Time for an alliance with @hrm-kristin-i.bsky.social?)

Anyway, happy Thank Fuck That's Over And We Can Stop The Performative Nonsense Which Isn't Fooling Anyone Day to corporations everywhere!

I thought the American Airlines people throwing bags of in-flight pretzels into the parade crowd was going to be the most pathetic corporate Pride performance of the year. But then I saw this picture.

S: Is my gay wife happy? J: Is MY gay wife happy? S: Yes! J: Then your gay wife is happy. It's 5 years since I met @scarlettaddams.bsky.social, almost 5 years since our first date, and almost 3 years since we married. She's the best person in the world, and yeah, her gay wife is happy. J💘S 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I had a time!

See you soon, Chicago Pride!

Pin arrived!
