A polity with a low birth rate has the problem of an ageing population. The solution to this is encouraging immigration.

Why is this so unacceptable? (Hint: racism and xenophobia).

In any UK election, I shall vote with my heart for the Scottish Greens. 💚

I don't care about tactical voting anymore, frankly.

The world is on fire, England is falling to fascism and my people are being treated as subhuman.

So yes, tell me to ignore that and tactically vote, Jenkins.

I have a troll on Insta telling me I'm really a woman and will never be a man.

Well that's it, folks. My transition MtF is complete. 😛🤪

I wonder if John Cleese has realised he's become the very person the old Fawlty Towers was satirising?

🌍 Colonial History

In 1811, HMS Endymion landed some men on the rock noone's ever heard of, Rockall, for the purposes of Imperial ****-wavery ("my rock!")

The landing party got lost in a North Sea fog and spent hours rowing about looking for the frigate.

For a literal rock. Hooray for Empires!

"{INSERT WHATEVER LOW AGE HERE} is too late to transition.

If you say so. I'm 36. 🤷‍♀️

🌎 Colonial History

When Cristoforo Colombo first arrived in present-day Dominican Republic in 1493, the Ciguayo people shot a bunch of arrows at him after he tried to extort an unfair trade from them.

Unfortunately, they didn't get him.

I have maintained this view for years, but again; when I meet someone that is autistic, I can't help it, I just think "great!"

Autistic folks are just way more interesting to talk to, frankly.

Going to make a bunch of short videos of me talking about an interesting topic while flopped on the floor.

I don't care if anyone watches them, really. It's always something I wanted to do.

Anyone complaining about a black lady playing Juliet is just a racist. It's simple as that.

Ooooh a fresh crop of death threats on my nice little talking-head video just for me!

Don't worry, you won't see them.

But transphobes are not going to get me to stop. 😜

Heck, I might make another uplifting little message. 😘

New pet peave: Saying "I could care less" when you mean "I couldn't care less".

Still, you could care less about that, right? 😉☺️

Jessie's conundrum: how to find a nice, sexy, gothy bra that looks good on you when 2+ years of oestrogen has been rather sparing in that department. 😁

I've been told 30-something year old trans women are MILFs by a post.

Well, thanks to American Pie I know what those are, but from that movie and The Graduate I thought I wasn't really old enough at 35...

But now I think...

Hell, embrace the MILF 🔥

It's a very special day. It's the day Jesus became a rabbit and laid a chocolate egg.

My kettle just died after 16 years of loyal service.

Clearly my kettle dying at Easter is a sign of Divine Providence. Or something.

Shall I resume my vErY iNtErEsTiNg history posts?

Mostly I know why colonial history, but I also know medieval nonsense.

I'm quite an historianist 🤪
