in happier pride news i actually found this deeply heartwarming

that's solidarity baybeeee

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

And next to me, a man who says we should go back to a more simple time when children had manners, there was a bobby on every street, and women were, let's just say, a little more hirsute downstairs. His words. I don't know what he meant, either. It's little Alex Horne!

everytime i wear an outfit like this i think about this tweet

today in loud noises:

why do people think i am ever leaving my door unlocked? the FORCE with which they try to enter my home is terrifying every time

put on a half load of washing which i hate to do but i need those dresses for the work onsite and so obviously the little cup that i put the detergent in was ricocheting from one side of the drum to the other for the entire 45 minutes

TWICE i thought something BIG had fallen over upstairs and it took way too long to realise that the extremely violent wind sweeps were... making the blinds do the fandango. i thought the bins had fallen over! or the clothes horse! i went outside to check! lortamercy

my house came with some furniture and appliances and it's been very very hot so i have turned on the thing in the freezer that makes ice and when the ice is made apparently the contraption that does the ice shaping is so done with it that it catapults it into the ice drawer with the force of a hurricane as though it rebukes it in the name of god. it's like a shot every time! why!

i use my dishwasher once in a blue moon and every damn time i think the kitchen is being flooded. big whoosh!! much slosh!! stressful. my body cannot go on like this. my nervous system is in collapse. big noise IS out to get me. send help
