- Comment on J.K. Rowling Blasts “Gender Taliban” David Tennant After ‘Harry Potter’ Actor Said “Whinging” Trans Critics Are On “Wrong Side Of History” 1 day ago:
It came out when I was 9, so I was part of the target demographic, though I didn’t pick it up til I was 12 or 13 because we read it at school, though by that point I had read most of the Animorphs books, so potter came across as very tame and a bit too childish. I was already dealing with themes of war and genocide and existential crisis and everything else Animorphs threw at you.

- Comment on PIP 'unsustainable' in current form as Stride to announce benefit changes 5 weeks ago:
Every 4 years since the Tories took office, they’ve tried to stop PIP to my friend’s autistic brother, the entire family needs to step in and do work to ensure they don’t take that away from him.
Weirdly, autism doesn’t just “get better”, but they keep doing it anyway. I’m sure this isn’t the only story of this heartless nonsense.

- Comment on Guardian sacks cartoonist Bell in antisemitism row - BBC News 8 months ago:
The description of the comic didn’t sound anti-semetic, unless there’s some anti semetic trope that I’m unaware of. Being against the state of Israel, apartheid, etho-states and genetic cleansing of Palestinians isn’t anti-semetic. Self surgery with boxing gloves actually seems rather apt imagery.
There’s no mention of past anti-semetism in the article either as far as I can see, something about Tories which I don’t quite understand the reference, nose rings? Is that a trope I don’t understand?
Help me out here.
- Comment on UK Covid deaths are on the rise again, but keep calm and keen on shopping. 8 months ago:
Do you also believe the earth is either flat or hollow or that dinosaurs didn’t exist or that giants used to roam the earth? Cos wow this is one of the dumbest threads I’ve ever read.
“The guardian” 😂😂😂
I can’t even bring myself to ask you why they would want to do that and what benefit it gives them because I know the answer is going to be mind-bogglingly stupid.
