not quite 30, gay guy with lotta 'pinions

I wish I could be transparent with my identity here, but I increasingly worry for my security and privacy, day by day

@eczemalesbian @ace_national Glad they finally saw fit to email the DYCP decisions. I couldn't hold on much longer like that.

[SleepyInsomniac @ibrowse2099]

@ace_national, a note to say that as of 8.30am, I am still unable to access Grantium.

Is anyone else facing this situation still with checking DYCP or applications?

[SleepyInsomniac @ibrowse2099]

@DaniDevour @eczemalesbian Mine came in just before 9pm last night. But grantium has been down all through the night.

Still no timeframe given for when it will be back up. I feel sorry for the people who dedicated time to apply for the fund open at the moment. They've only extended it by a few days even.

Does ANYONE think this is a coincidence?

We are now constantly discussing whether a free* NHS is financially sustainable, after 3 years of the Tories literally stealing billions from the NHS budget via dodgy contracts.

WEIRD, HUH! 🤯

[Hemant Mehta @hemantmehta]

Ah, yes, the thing that all gay men hate: burly dudes with beards.

The Conservative Party, passing power among themselves like it was a joint on a night out.

[Aslak Berg @BergAslak]

Good thing Cameron called that referendum to settle the internal rifts in the Conservative Party or things would have gotten ugly

[Moog @a_toots]

The aim is always to STOP Labour, because the well-worn narrative is that they’re a DANGER. What could be more dangerous than a govt run by opaquely funded think tanks, who’ve pulled us out of the biggest trading bloc in the world, tanked the pound, and filled our seas with shit.

The reason I'm retweeting UK photos and videos of today's protest across 50 towns and cities is that, as of now, NONE of UK's mainstream media is reporting the scale of the national UK protests.
See the problem? #EnoughIsEnough #StandByYourPost

@AmberMidthunder You were absolutely *it* in Prey, so seeing you as part of this adaptation is so exciting. Congratulations 👏

[SleepyInsomniac @ibrowse2099]

@Ebouhn @NE0kre @FellowshipFans The fact you're so triggered by Galadriel in armour is quite hilarious. The Second Age was a long damn time and a character as strong and determined as Galadriel would likely not have sat about. She was proactive in countering Sauron. This aspect of the adapation is not unfounded

[SleepyInsomniac @ibrowse2099]

@Ebouhn @NE0kre @FellowshipFans How can she have been trained by Melian before the Kinslaying of Alqualondë, when Melian was already in Middle Earth around the time of the awakening at Cuiviénen and met Elwë soon after.

So if the text doesn't specify, who the grand f**k are you to enforce your flimsy takes?

[SleepyInsomniac @ibrowse2099]

@Ebouhn @NE0kre @FellowshipFans You've literally been all over the place stating one minute she's not a fighter at all, then not denying she may wielded used arms, back to stating she presumably used magic at Alqualondë, even if there is literally no evidence for that, in fact the contrary is more likely true.

[SleepyInsomniac @ibrowse2099]

@Ebouhn @NE0kre @FellowshipFans 'one would speculate that Tolkien meant'. Sure. That's where where are now. What happened to 'wHat diD TOLKIEN sAy'.

Your sexist 2-D speculation is weak. I've provided you textual and authorial evidence of how Tolkien characterised Galadriel as complex. Take the L and just gtfo.

[SleepyInsomniac @ibrowse2099]

@Ebouhn @NE0kre @FellowshipFans sHiLLinG.

There's that terminology. You're such a stereotype.

If you see my earlier comments, I actually said imo Galadriel is characterized as too young, Celebrimbor too old and in general I don't feel any of the elves are written particularly well up to this point.

[SleepyInsomniac @ibrowse2099]

@Ebouhn @NE0kre @FellowshipFans Why the actual hell I'm in a conversation with some supremely arrogant, tetchy nerd who's been radicaled on Reddit, I don't know.

Your argument has gone from 'she isn't a fighter' to 'i never said she hadn't wielded a sword'. There are many, many textual gaps in her long history

[SleepyInsomniac @ibrowse2099]

@Ebouhn @NE0kre @FellowshipFans 'she gave that up' - some guy on Twitter.

You're backtracking here because you got caught out. You claimed she wasn't a Fighter. When over her lifetime, she has likely been many, many, many things.

If you only take Tolkien's word on Middle Earth, I don't think much of yours.

[SleepyInsomniac @ibrowse2099]

@Ebouhn @NE0kre @FellowshipFans She met Melian in the First Age yes, but the strife at Alqualondë took place during the Years of the Trees, before the Noldor crossed the Helcaraxë, so before Galadriel came to Doriath, which was in the Years of the Sun:

But sure, you know the lore 🤡

What's the word in yellow?
