Thing with all the soft language of dignity and respect and compromise being used to describe loss of human rights, persecution, and segregation, is that it immediately frames any opposition to it as unreasonable and aggressive

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Leaving aside the question of how an ID card reports potholes, the problem with the state of our roads is largely not that the council doesn’t know about the potholes

My two new vocal stim because of Silksong is Poshanka and Zamzimoooo!!! Help!

Wish Racists would commit to the whole "go back to where you're from." Like go whole ham, riot against the government selling arms to war mongers. Protest against the genocide in Palestine, Congo, etc. Get angry at peeps stealing recourses from the global south. Put some weight behind your words.

As you may have seen, the EHRC delivered their updated Code of Practice to the UK Government’s Minister for Equalities last week. It is now up to the Minister to approve the Code, or to ask the EHRC to make further changes. Contact your MP: www.scottishtrans.org/codeofpracti...

Reporting a new Banksy mural which attacks the legal system for criminalizing protests against genocide, the BBC adds "the graffiti has been covered up and guarded". Thanks Dad.

Women are biologically afraid of insects. Gender critical feminism, everyone.

The reason @ganhri.bsky.social let the EHRC retain its ‘A’ status was because the (then Tory) government threatened to withhold £1 million in funding to the UN unless they did so! I believe Bernard Jenkin MP had some involvement? (Here’s screenshots from Baroness Jenkin - his transphobic wife!)

On the same day in the Telegraph:

Here's a little something your mp can be doing, should be doing NOW! transactual.org.uk/blog/2025/09...

"Revealed: organiser of campaign to fly Union Jacks and England flags on Britain's streets was previously jailed over a plot to smuggle illegal immigrants into the country" But of course. Anyone surprised? Anyone at all? And highlighted by the Daily Mail too... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

1/🧵 Not live at Westminster Magistrates Court. The judge warned members of the public, in a room packed with Graham Linehan supporters, not to react to any language used during the proceedings, or they would be removed from the public gallery.

Statement from Trans Safety Network on the Linehan arrest. TSN understand Linehan's tweet to be an unambiguous call for vigilante violence against trans women in toilets. And yet senior government figures and police have jumped to find a way to make excuses for it.

“As these powerful forces gain influence in governments and boardrooms around the world, it is little surprise that many readers feel dismay. Climate scientists do, too. But experts also warn that we underestimate our own agency.“ https://bit.ly/47rMte7

"Polling shows that opinion on immigration tracks tabloid coverage much more closely than actual immigration levels. People become more concerned not when the number of immigrants rises, but when the press fearmongers about it more." www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/709...

In terms of policing free speech I am at the extremely libertarian end of views about whether police should get involved (I don't think they should, and I think Graham Linehan absolutely was endorsing violence against trans women like me).

If we are, as a society, to criminalise certain speech, then we ought to do so consistently.

When I was announced as the lead in a Doctor Who spinoff in 2023 Graham Linehan tweeted about me for TWO DAYS, tagging the BBC and others to say that I am pro-child abuse and they shouldn't work with me.

wes streeting came out in support for this violent man, remember that.

The gov really are just saying calls for violence against certain demographics are okay actually, more than okay, reasonable and maybe even policy ideas

We've decided to remain on hiatus with the podcast until after the funeral of Felix's sister.

My sister and I have set up a fundraiser in case anyone is able to help us raise the money needed to pay for our sister Tracy's funeral. Any sharing and signal boosting would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. www.gofundme.com/f/tracy-elle... #MutualAid #Fundraiser

Some words of support for the UK’s Black and Asian populations - 1 in 6 people - that racism won’t be tolerated might be useful from our government right now but no they’re waving 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 flags.

I would just note that HRT was also flagged as a specific danger last week regarding trans people; and forever unspecified dangers were the reason trans kids in the UK had their access to blockers removed. As ever, the war on gender and on bodily autonomy is thoroughly intersectional.

This is such an outrageously, overtly racist thing to say. There is no amount of backtracking over rivers of blood or whatever that can alter the fact that Keir Starmer is a racist prick.

The Labour Party needs to be completely destroyed, and never allowed anywhere near power again.

Evil.

BREAKING: Yvette Cooper says she is suspending all applications to bring family members to the UK under the asylum system.

This is yet another instance of the Starmer Labour government being found to maintain deep links with senior figures in the anti-trans rights movement.

Breaking: The UK government run by Keir Starmer has announced in a recent shake up at Number 10, that the new government director of communications is going to be former Sex Matters trustee Tim Allan www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Keir Starmer’s new director of communications isn’t just the founder of Portland Communications – which represented Qatar, Russia and Kazakhstan – he’s also come straight from the board of the anti-trans charity Sex Matters. The government is heading in a dark direction.

I'm so fricking tired.

It's such a ludicrous notion, too. Nazi spaces these days function almost entirely as places that fetishize & offer explicit instruction in violent masculinity. They are structured around a desire to achieve a very specific vision of white manhood. That's so obviously not a draw for trans femmes.

youtu.be/aQWppu2EaXQ In this next tutorial part, we take the Niagara system, and we recolor it a few times. #gamedev #UE5 #tutorial This is the final one on the art, and in the next one we will dive into Blueprints for gameplay.

111/NHS direct is a joke. Having to misgender yourself to the people there for no reason is outright humiliating. It's designed to put trans people off reaching out for healthcare support. There were years of surveys that worked on finding respectful ways to gather this information, disregarded.

With so much having happened in the past month, I've been laying here balling my eyes out. Shits hard, and I've lost so much, and I'll continue to wear my smiley face despite so much to grieve.

Keir Starmer and David Lammy belong in The Hague.

new study just dropped: being homophobic is bad for business lol

There are fairly obvious ways in which juries disapplying the law can be a very bad thing indeed. But as a historian of the jury system who has written reasonably extensively about nullification, please allow me to say hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
