Here you will find the musings and ramblings of a married gay 40 something. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ + πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ. Follow at own risk! 😁. A left wing Greyhound lover. Please don't invite me to arguments, I will likely decline.

I actually like Joe Biden and I think we could do something good for his re-election campaign by getting rid of our right wing crazies in the UK General Election. Think our politics makes no difference in the US? Don't kid yourself, they will be watching.

This came up in my Facebook memories, a post I shared 8 years ago today. Nothing that has happened since has changed my mind. 😒

At least you have already made it to bed. I have a forty minute drive home to look forward to now, having just finished an afternoon shift. I am sooo tired. Will have the radio on and windows down for this one.

Only on Threads. I rarely use sites other than Blue sky and Threads. Leaving Twitter/X did me a favour in reducing the amount of time I spend on social media.

There's not a cat in hell's chance that these crazy opinion polls are right. It would be a bigger miracle than the resurrection for the whole of Lincolnshire to go red. You could stick a blue rosette on Peppa Pig in some parts of this county and she would pass the post. Every vote matters!

Really terrifying stuff isn't it? The fact that many Tories want to cosy up to Reform tells us just how high the stakes are at this election.

Lucky you. Whether it's in person or online, I go cold when someone suggests a meeting. There's always at least one person who likes the sound of their own voice. "Unfortunately I have a diary conflict on that date. Please record my apologies" (Cut, paste, send). 😁

You absolutely can. Ngl, I was attracted to smooth, toned/muscular guys when I was younger and first came out, but my best experiences have been with bigger, hairier, beary type guys. I very quickly grew to love them so much more. A lot more chilled about life and more loving too.

I can totally understand why Labour isn't talking about raising taxes right now. After all, there are billions to go after first. In the end, I would happily pay a bit more, but I would like to get as much of this back as possible first.

Still offends me to think how this country treated him (and other brilliant gay men). Arguably, his work saved many thousands of lives. Not all war heroes wore a uniform.

I see the Tories are pledging an annual cap on migration... again. They said this in 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2019. Every time, they failed. A government of broken promises.

The NHS is failing, schools are crumbling, rivers are contaminated with shit, prices are sky high, roads are potholed and collapsing and the justice system is on its knees, so what do the Tories focus on? A war against minority groups. Get these loathsome twats out.

This is what Pride month means to me. Freedom to be who you are and love who you want to love. Nobody is born into this world hating anyone else, so if you are pissed off with queer or trans people who have done you no personal harm, ask yourself why. Do you want to ally with love or ally with hate?

During a camp wind up session at home I told my husband not to annoy me. He said: "Why, what are you gonna do?" I reminded him of the consequences of annoying Dr David Banner... you really wouldn't want to annoy him. Childhood PTSD triggered! 😁

Young voters need to get "out of their bubble" say the Tories. I hope young voters remember that on 4th July. Help us to get these offensive pricks out of office for a very long time.

I know. The criteria for attending baffles me. Just Stop Oil protesters are confronted by vans full of police officers, but people who are making threats of violence are left alone unless or until they do something.

Exactly. We can all cheer and say good riddance, but in reality they have achieved what they set out to do. Now we have to hope that a Labour government can unpick some of the damage they have inflicted on our country.

Just finished a night shift at work. When I arrived my colleague warned me that two men had been making threats against staff during the afternoon. As a lone worker on nights it's not what you want to hear. Anyway, I made it through without a violent confrontation. Now sat contemplating with coffee.

I keep hearing people say "It won't be any better under a Labour government" and I wonder what planet they are living on. Seriously? An end to the daily dose of shit stirring and othering will be an immediate improvement. FFS, wake up and smell the coffee. What we have now is bloody awful.

Went to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and saw a fascinating and thought provoking exhibition in the old Chapel by Ugandan artist Leilah Babirye. She had to flee homophobic Uganda in 2015 after being outed by a newspaper. Worth a visit if you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally.
