I despise the cursèd “NOT FOR EU” mark of Cain that’s emblazoned on every comestible designated for us lumpen Brits. Evoking the tang of an “unfit for human consumption” stamp, this shameful label declares a base unworthiness for the cosmopolitan boulevards and arcades of continental Europe.
Why does transphobia in particular so often lead to psychological collapse? This makes Morrissey look like a live-and-let-live kind of guy
MiffythegamerRoisin Murphy trawled through Instagram and found one of her old pop songs. When she saw that almost every commentator was critical of her newfound status as a deranged swivel-eyed TERF, she screenshotted their profiles & made a video of them. All completely normal behaviour 😬
