Am very excited to be @edbookfest for my @Bookbug_SBT day job, listening and watching the brilliant @czzpr do a session with some wee ones & their adults on laughing, tickling, peekaboo & their importance.

Great graphic by โฆ@jburnmurdochโฉ. In other words, Britain is a poor country, with 1 moderately wealthy region.

So @CostaCoffee depicted a trans masc person, and transphobes are angry and shouting #BoycottCostaCoffee (obvs). Shockingly to them trans people exist, and might drink coffee. Anyway, as a trans man with similar scars, thank you Costa for the representation ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ

In this poll of LGBTQ+ Britons, just 3% opted for โLGBโ - the acronym used to deliberately exclude trans people.
This shows lesbian, gay and bi people overwhelmingly see trans people as part of their community.
So stop pretending thereโs a civil war over this. There isnโt.
LGBT is the acronym the media tends to use to represent the queer community, but queer Britons themselves are more likely to use LGBTQ+
LGBTQ+ 29%
LGBTQ 13%
Combined: 42%
LGBT 21%
LGBT+ 8%
Combined: 29%
LGBTQIA+ 11%
LGBTQIA 2%

A #BabyThread about the sophistication of baby teasing.
This latest post from @DanWuori has been getting lots of shares & many of you have tagged me. I thought I would highlight some of the nuances so noone misses its fabulous complexity. THREAD.
Get a load of this joyful little comedian!
Researchers at the University of Bristol (UK) recently created the Early Humor Survey to explore how humor develops in very young children.
They found that roughly half of the babies in the toolโs data set showed an appreciation for humor by 2 months of age - and that by 11 months, roughly half of the babies began to experiment with making their own jokes. bristol.ac.uk/news/2021/noveโฆ

@easyJet Hi folks - you've abandoned my kids at the airport waiting for a flight currently looking 5 hours late. They're going to miss the connecting flight. Your "helpline" refusing to, er, help, "because the delay hasn't been confirmed yet" - as if that wasn't your own problem
