Ashamed to wake up in my adopted country to hear that proposes to make withdrawal from #EuropeanConvention a key issue at next general election. This is a document created largely by best of British lawyers from a broad political spectrum back when U.K. a true leader.

Going from dating as a queer "woman" to dating as a queer man is a whole-ass mindfuck. I've been out for 26 years but I am also somehow a clueless baby-gay? ?? 😭

Second puppy off to her new home. Me and all the dogs had a farewell sleepover with her last night. She’s only going to our friends’ around the corner though so we should see her each week. <3 She’s the one who looks most like her dad who is a very lovely dog.
