My wife has joined a Facebook group, specifically for people all pretending to be ants. What a weird, but utterly harmless, corner of the internet.

 It has dawned on me that, surely, so called “gender reveal” parties are actually not gender reveal parties at all. Because the parents won’t know, yet, what gender (if any) their kid feels itself to be? 

In fact, couldn’t it almost be said to be an early pre-birth attempt to *impose* a gender identity based merely on biological sex? 

Also aircraft towing banners, fireworks leading to forest fires, gratuitous and wretched displays of excess etc etc is all just fucking gross shite. 

 Hello Fresh gave me a free "tony's chocolonely" bar. 

It's not... great... is it? 

 Haha imagine putting "anti woke" in your profile bio. You can't, can you? 

 Anyone I know used, “kunkune.co.uk” ? 

Seems a bit like a mini-maplin? 

 My wife’s father, who lives in Taipei, was chatting to her on the phone yesterday, and mentioned he had heard that Birmingham council had gone bankrupt. 

We truly are fucked as a country. Not only are we fucked, but we spray out the news of our fuckedness worldwide, and in languages other than English;  other than European even. 

Fuck.
