Musk is overtly transphobic at this point, promoting anti-trans documentaries and lobbying congress to criminalise trans healthcare for youths. I'm leaving twitter until he stops being a person at all. I am the only Ben Swithen on the internet, so you can find me anywhere.

My son is 15 I never bought him a pride onesie when he was a baby. I never read him a book that had two moms as part of the storyline. When he was little stores and businesses didn’t have LGBTQ+ displays and we didn’t celebrate pride month. He was raised Catholic, and went to church. Guess what? He is gay. The rainbow won’t make your kids gay. They are born that way. A display in a store won’t make your kid trans, they are born that way. If you don’t love and accept them for who they are, YOU are a shitty parent. They haven’t failed, you have.

As clever as Chat GPT 4 is, it absolutely can't grasp "don't use any words in your answer which contain the letter 'e'", or any equivalent phrases. #chatgpt4

Replying to @MadocCairns
"Sanctity is an adventure; it is the only adventure. Those who have once realized this have found their way to the very heart of the Catholic faith; they have felt in their mortal flesh the shuddering of another terror than the terror of death: the shudder of supernatural hope"

You may look but not touch. I'm willing to bet that this darling little good girl would go berserk if you even just pointed at the food...

Dog on the table, looking v. happy, as who wouldn't with A+ Chinese cup and not 1 but 2 biscuits! Painted in the 1640s by Giovanna Garzoni. It's her day.

Bees, The Aberdeen Bestiary (fol. 63r), c. 1200 This may be one of the most amazing bits of medieval art I've ever seen. Gorgeous and rather modern. abdn.ac.uk/bestiary/ms24/sea…
