New MP's are forever battling with our hilariously archaic chamber traditions, so here's a lad who was given a "gentle telling off" for sipping a carton of milk in the house of commons.

In a statement, a spokesperson apologised and added that milk is an excellent source of protein.

I would like to gush about my favourite married characters please?

Not really ‘cause I like all those things

Aw shucks I forgot about Tumblr again.

YESSSS

Do NOT hate on James

Someone put a clip of me on the subreddit 'perfectly cut screams', which Matt stumbled on and ran to show me. It's one of his favs so he was strangely proud I think. The clip is funny, they cut at the perfect moment so it's barely an "a-". Made me chuckle.

But of course it's reddit, so amongst the nice comments, the funny comments (someone said I sound like the fnaf jump scare noise- cackling) and all the deleted comments, which are presumably transphobic to a level unacceptable on the sub, are enough shitty remarks to make any person feel bad, at least for a minute.

There are the usual crowd, baffled by what my gender could possibly be. A number of comments calling me everything from 'bro' to 'it' and laughingly deriding me for definitely using they/them pronouns. Someone asked what kind of 'breed' I am. Stuff about HRT, for some reason. And so on and so on.

Someone thinks I'm likely "completely insufferable", based on this 11 second clip. Someone thinks I look 15 "at best". Another says my ("this dude's") mouth is too big for my face. Someone else wants to "do [my] mouth".

I don't really have a good point or a conclusion or anything, I am just getting really sick and tired of just being and getting all this balls as a result. I am just here, making silly stuff for people who want to watch it. I have short hair and I exist publicly and that is all it takes to stir up the bigots to the point of having to shout and scream in my direction. No one's talking about gender, my identity isn't relevant, it's literally a funny ten second clip with an "aa-" moment. But I'm expected to stoically endure everything from sexual harassment through personal insults and random bigotry, because that's just "what you get" if you 'decided' to be some kind of public figure. What a bunch of balls, man.
