Watched the first episode of Cowboy Bebop last night and— I really need to re-watch the whole thing. It’s a sign of a great piece of art when you just *need* to engage with it every so often, and that it shows you something new each time you engage. I often pause the opening credits on this frame.

Trans folk*, the world is a bleak and terrifying place and we need to notice and cherish the small wonders, so please share today’s moments of joy below ⬇️ *Trans people only please; cis allies be respectful and sit this one out.

We’ve taken the time to digest the amended EHRC Code of Practice. We’ve broken down what’s happening and what the changes mean for services and trans people: the good, the bad and the ugly (and yes, there is some good in it). Read our full response: https://ow.ly/7Ru450Z4QwH

Leaving the UK has increasingly become part of many in our communities' plan. For those on low incomes, this poses multiple barriers, not least that without documentation - leaving is impossible. If you are a trans or non-binary person in this situation - we can help. 1/3

Went to the garden centre and bought a hat which is extremely Gender. Fortunately there was a park nearby for a photoshoot.

One thing i respect about old movies is that the camera doesn't move as much. Nowadays directors be playing catch with the camera during scenes where nothing is happening. Constant cuts constant pans like bro i'm impressed but i'm also about to throw up! what the fuck is going on! are you okay???

I’m a little late with my tribute, but here’s Yuji Ohno’s ‘Lovin’ You (Lucky)’ #LupinIII

🧵 A big part of the job of teaching is finding high-quality materials which are relevant to your students, devising activities to engage with these materials which will inspire them, and then setting and facilitating tasks where they can respond creatively.

More targeted harassment from Bluesky mods:

Instilling a cultural norm of “don’t engage, just block” in the early days of Bsky is paying off. Edgelords just can’t start a “debate” and are becoming frustrated.

GNU, on the eve of the battle for Ankh Moorpork. May Anoia rattle your drawers in solace.

Dude hasn’t considered that his experience could be because no-one wants to talk to *him* specifically 🤔

For a year one of the sprinters in the Enhanced Games has been saying that Usain Bolt's World Record in the 100m is going to be "destroyed". Usain Bolt ran the 100m in 9.58 seconds SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO, nobody else has got close. Let's see what Usain Bolt had to say about this.

oh another "I can't believe Ann Leckie, who writes about fictional AIs, doesn't like Spicy Autocomplete!!!!" My sibling in Amaat, if you actually read my books you might want to work on your reading comprehension and then try again.

It’s become abundantly clear that trans people are not, in fact, your “canaries in the coal mine.” 🧵

Nobody needs to suffer alone. We strongly urge those in the community who are struggling at the moment to allow themselves space. This is not charity. This is the community providing community. Embrace it.

“First they came for the communists,” so the poem goes. No. First they came for trans people & disabled people, and this has been erased from history which is why we don’t recognise the re-emergence of fascism for what it is. forward.com/culture/5495... holocaustcentrenorth.org.uk/blog/a-brief...

@hollybaleen.bsky.social Have you seen this cursed Blobby artwork?

I’m 41 & still unpacking the harm Section 28 did to me. Now I’m expected to inflict that harm on another generation. No way. You’ll have to ban me from every school in that country before I deny the reality that trans people exist or climb into the closet at work. Kids see right through lies anyway.

Today’s the anniversary of the passing into law of Section 28 in 1988, the first homophobic legislation in a century. Politicians and media said it was our own fault, told us to shut up and give up. We didn’t. Dont you dare give up now on trans people.

@terryreintke.bsky.social We need the EU to issue an urgent travel advisory for the UK. It is not a safe country for LGBTQIA+ people, especially trans & non-binary people because of Labour’s Toilet Ban.

The question isn't "how do I explain gay people to my kid," that's a ten second conversation. The real question is, "How to I explain that OTHER PEOPLE get to be gay, while also letting them know that it can NEVER be an option for them?" And you know they're right, that is a difficult conversation.

Congratulations on helping the Guardian launder its reputation now the transphobia it fuelled has gone beyond what most people will tolerate. I’m not sparing sympathy for “allies” who exacerbate harm—however well-meaning—when we are being forced out of our workplaces, communities, healthcare, etc..

If just 1 in 10 trans people in the UK think they will be safer, less isolated, and more secure having a key, then we will send out 1000s. Allies can help fund the meeting of the demand by clicking the "i dont need a key, but want to donate" button. www.essehouse.co.uk/pee-in-peace-program

This. Also: if you’re cis? Prefer not to say.

Anyway here's a self published article by a wheelchair using trans man on the guidance. A perspective the press are rather slower to include jamierhale.substack.com/p/ehrc-trans...

At a demo today? Avoid travelling to and leaving thr event alone (small groups are best). Don't talk to transphobes Don't talk to the Police (including liason officers) unless you are the organiser, but still stick to just relevant info for safety.

1/3. Reminder to anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of dealing with the UK press: there's going to be a lot of divide-and-conquer around new EHRC guidance, and that will be deliberately editorially driven. You get approached to write an article/spout a viewpoint along set oppositional lines.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

So sick of seeing Labour politicians talking like their party is somehow separate from them and they have no complicity in its actions

I was just thinking this. If you are a Labour MP, that claims to think the Labour Party is wrong to introduce trans exclusion, leave the fucking party. This is not a situation where performative regret will cut it.

Same day as us in Manchester, 12 noon at Peter Square. Let them know.

cis ppl pls consider sending money to literally any trans ppl, whether it’s for ongoing healthcare, living costs, or just buying a nice coffee or something. it’s a hard day.

Its not a 'dignity and respect' to a lawyer, its a right. Its not a 'dignity and respect' to equal pay, its a right Its not a 'dignity and respect' to vote, its a right. Anything else is a "wrong".

An early Caturday pic for all who need it. It’s been a week 🖤

When Labour lose Makerfield will another Labour MP stand aside so Burnham can have another shot at becoming PM, & then another & another… until Labour’s supermajority is whittled down to just Starmer & Streeting frantically out-Nazi-ing each other in their desperate bids to captain the sink ship?

So, trans people are going to be punished for what they are rather than what any individual does. It’s a reminder to the rest of us minorities that our rights aren’t necessarily secure and, that if we don’t conform, they could be taken away. Canary in the coal mine, anyone? 🏳️‍⚧️

Bigotry as a legitimate reason for discrimination as presented by the equality and human rights commission

It is juts fucking crazy they straight up let people’s “discomfort” with someone overrule their human rights
