Hi all I can't see a thread about this conference next week in London (QEII). Lots of great speakers including Maya introducing Allison Bailey! Is anyone going? I'm considering going to some of it. Any idea if there will be protestors outside? My (elderly) mum is going.

Omg that Repent Motherfucker tambourine gif on Twitter is absolute gold isn’t it?! 🤣🤣🤣

[quote OhHolyJesus]So there were more than 4 in the afternoon, I guess daytime tv wasn't that inclusive today. Ah well, no dinosaurs though.

I managed to get one during afternoon coffee. I'd forgotten how good they are. Must buy more!

Hold everything, hold everything. They had Tunnocks Teacakes yesterday? Why did no one tell me and when’s the next one!

Thank you to everyone who is standing up for women by attending this conference, reporting back on it or otherwise supporting the LGB alliance. Must dash - I've got some terfcakes to stock up on.

Terf tea cakes 💅💅👏👏🙋‍♀️

I'm loving the rage displayed at the absolute audacity of lesbians, gay men and bisexual people discussing what we want to discuss.

I'm delighted the conference went so well, and I'm even more delighted in the sour grapes because it did.

@RepentMotherfucker

Wait! Tunnocks teacakes are now transphobic?

Off to purge my school.lunchbox cupboard.

REPENT MOTHERFUCKING MARSHMALLOW SNACK-CAKES! REPENT!

I will be your sin-eater.

Give them all to me.

We can hoard all the nice food just like we are purportedly hoarding our rights.

I'm warming to this dinosaur thing. I attended a fascinating presentation about Ancient DNA by Beth Shapiro last night (not available publicly, but look out for her as her book has just been published and she's an excellent interviewee).

Dinosaurs were pretty high in the dominant species apex (if one considers such things) and co-existed for a very long time. It took a planet altering comet to take them down.

We should all be more dinosaur.

@NecessaryScene

I think it's now our mission to make as many foods as problematic/terfy as possible, so any given Woke space has a purity spiral to make people feel safe by removing all the nice food.
Good idea. We can hoard all the nice food just like we are purportedly hoarding our rights.

It was Nonny. She got a standing ovation and James Dreyfuss, who was next, said something like 'how do I follow that?'

LizzieSiddal · 22/10/2021 09:44

Who is Kevin?

Repent you Motherfucker

It’s been a good week Grin

NonnyMouse1337 · 22/10/2021 09:43

No one understands Kevin and the tambourine of repentance.

Fantastic article. Must have been great to listen to the speech in person.

@KittenKong

Who is Kevin?
I don't know but I'm very sad that no-one was calling upon him to repent nor shaking a tambourine.

Caption systems still have a very long way to go before they can reliably interpret speech against mixed background noise. Grin

As if supermarkets are going to stop selling Tunnocks Teacakes! These people are off their heads.

It is well known that Tunnocks Teacakes are Scots S'Mores (leave in the wrapper and put them on a barbecue or, this time of year, a bonfire).

And there are swathes of people who cannot get through the week without a Tunnocks Caramel Log.

People might nod along to everything else for a quiet life but if there's any attempt to cancel Tunnocks it will be like the time they tried to reduce the sugar in Irn Bru.

KittenKong · 22/10/2021 09:29

Are that also going to complain the Cressida dick about police outside the venue? The banner makers for making them?

Yet another TRA who doesn’t understand apostrophes.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 22/10/2021 09:28

Awa and bile yer heid seems an appropriate response to that. What a numpty.

KittenKong · 22/10/2021 09:27

I shall make sure I buy some. I’m more of a caramel log person myself, but hey.
