RIP Paul O'Grady. The world is a bit more grey now.

Story that probably everyone has seen by now: Paul O’Grady’s historic Lily Savage arrest: Late star was handcuffed in homophobic police raid

ETA:

Watch on YouTube

Very interesting video:

The Queer Erasure of Asexuality (A Discussion)

Very good video, although it seemed mostly stuff I knew until they got to Aegosexuality which I had literally never heard of before. (In short: It's all in your head. I.e. you like a smutty fic but have zero interest in trying any of it yourself: your fantasies never involve yourself. I have a feeling there are probably a lot of us in fandom.)

Petitions:

Hands off our NHS: Say NO to a tax on sickness!

Stop businesses getting away with human rights abuses

Tell the UK government to stop new oil and gas fields

This is incredible. (with many thanks to my dedicated lurker for sending it my way.)

RIVER SONG!?! | Doctor Who - Season 4 Episode 8 (REACTION) 4x08 "Silence in the Library"
This is one of the most delightful reactions I've ever seen. :)

RL has been very busy (with good things!), I will try to write an update at some point.

Oh and the wannabe dictator in one of the colonies has been indicted? People seem very excited about this.

So sad about O'Grady. We lost him too soon.

BUT Fartface has been indicted!

He was just part of the furniture? I expected him to be around for years and years, I can't get my head around the fact that he is gone. :(

I like it when there's good news in amongst all the bad. ^_^

BOO!! Let's hope they can contest it. Although I don't think they had any sort of filter over it, so let's hope they can fiddle with it somehow and get it back online.

I didn't know eating ice cream out of helmets was a thing, but I'm all for it. :)

Re. aegosexuality: I didn't watch the video but that definition - OMG, that's just... wow. It's not a completely perfect match for how I feel about stuff, but it's damn close. Thank you!

IKR? Just... this is A THING? If you want to watch the segment it starts at approx 26:41 and the main parts only lasts for about 2 minutes? But much better described than my vague words. The term he uses is 'they desire desire'.

Okay, I need to find more time, because I followed the link and started watching and it's fascinating. Thank you! Bookmarked for further study. :-)

You're welcome! I watched ONE of his videos and now youtube keeps suggesting them and they are very addictive. ^_^
