Because this dude is such a snowflake and posts and blocks, I’m screenshotting to demonstrate how the manosphere seeps into everything. This dude fails to understand that gay men weren’t criminalised because they were cis men but because they were gay and that the people who did the criminalising…

Cis men include gay men put in prison just for existing until 1967. Lesbians were not. No Cis men oppressed? You can't think it OK to hate cis men, surely. There are many straight cis men that support the whole LGBTQIA+ community, e.g. George Monbiot. You deny there are misandrists among the TERFs?

really get a thick coating, but it’s 100% black. Update, yes reader, it is very good! I think next time I’ll use a 60 or 70% chocolate though and more of it. I might even buy a cooling rack!

Bitten one in half. It’s good. The chocolate is maybe a bit thin though

I also had cornflour regular sugar and half a tub of marscapone. Not being a ‘baker’, I don’t have a wire rack for cooling or coating the backsides with chocolate so I just held it, spooned it on and dropped it back on the grease proof paper. Quite a lot of chocolate just ran through and I can’t

I don’t know why but I’ve been obsessing about florentines. So today I decided to make some. Never good with recipes, and not only didn’t have any angelica (seems that stuff no longer is available to buy in normal places) or flour or castor sugar or cream. I did have candied fruit, nuts & chocolate

Finally got a response from my MP about Supreme Court ruling. I must stay #LibDems are very disappointing. Much better from @drewhendry.bsky.social when he was my MP. This is the response to my original letter, not to the one from @goodlawproject.bsky.social no acknowledgment from that one

Dear Dr Liz Ellis,

Thank you for getting in touch.

I recognise this is a deeply personal issue that affects many people's lives and wellbeing. After careful consideration, I believe that in specific legal contexts, particularly relating to single-sex spaces and protections, clarity around definitions is essential for the practical application of the law. In my view, this ruling provides a necessary legal framework while we continue important conversations about how best to support and protect all members of our community. That is why I support the UK Supreme Court's recent ruling, which affirms this principle.

Legal clarity is essential to ensure fairness, protect women’s rights, and uphold public trust in how these matters are handled.

I understand that people hold sincere and deeply held views on different sides of this issue, often rooted in their own experiences and values. Whilst we may not all reach the same conclusions, I am committed to engaging with these complex matters thoughtfully and with respect for the dignity of everyone involved. The public conversation on this issue has too often become toxic and polarising. I will never support language or policies that demean people simply for being who they are. Firm boundaries in law do not require cruelty in tone.

You may or may not share all aspects of my view, but I will always approach these matters with both honesty and respect, and I appreciate you sharing your perspective.

Yours sincerely,

Angus MacDonald MP
Member of Parliament for Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire

I mean they literally say that a binary immutable model of sex doesn’t represent human biological diversity, but you keep on yelling at clouds (and people who actually know what they’re talking about)

The term “biological sex” has been used to sort all people into one of two groups. However, a strict, binary categorisation is an over-simplification. An individual’s “sex” is in fact made up of a collection of characteristics, including external genitalia, secondary sex characteristics, gonads, chromosomes, and hormones, and may be better described as bimodal [3]. Each of these traits can vary beyond two categories and may or may not coincide with other measures of sex within the same individual. Thus, a binary, immutable model of sex is not capable of capturing biological diversity present in human populations, and as a result it is an unsafe basis for policy. The medical and scientific community has accepted for some time that there is significant complexity in this area. Recently, both doctors and scientists, including Nobel laureates, have raised concerns about the impact of this oversimplification on human rights [4]. We present a brief summary to explain this below:

Speaking of snake oil & longevity bullshit research… When I lived in Cheltenham the Waitrose there (do not fucking judge me!) sold white chocolate & matcha bars & in Japan I had some amazing matcha chocolates. So I thought I’d have a go with hot chocolate. It’s… interesting…

It looks like they have changed it.

Her remarks come after a Supreme Court ruling that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex for the purposes of the Equality Act.
The Welsh government said it was "carefully considering" the court's decision.

No-waste people, I’ve just found a jar of almond butter which is VERY out of date. It smells ok but even I have my limits. Can it be repurposed for bird feed or something?

This cis woman, who conceived and gave birth without any intervention has XY chromosomes. I can link the paper if you want but I doubt you have the capacity to understand it given you barely have CSE level knowledge of human biology.

Second night in Oxford and I tried Ramen Kulture. Had to wait outside in the rain for 10 minutes (the place is tiny) but my god it was worth it. The broth was DEEP!

A bowl of ramen with sliced pork on top, a couple of sheets or nori and a nitamago egg. There is a smaller blue bowl next to it with bright green wakame seaweed salad and half a pint of lager at the back.

Today in Oxford, in order to drown out existential dread I had French sugar for brunch in a cemetery. A delicious mistake and had to trek the Ashmolean to walk it off. Japanese for dinner

So my first meal in Oxford was at Lila’s which is a lovely Ethiopian/Eritrean place. Lovely staff and the food was excellent. Do not be fooled by the beige appearance! This was zingy flavoursome goodness and the pancake things were addictive. Do go if you’re ever in Oxford
