it keeps going back and forth between being infuriating and funny how much we study this when the answer is always the same and it never matters

american's looking at the uk like 'holy shit that is bad' and, remember, it's our liberals who are in power.

A female ICE thug posing as a distressed motorist in neighborhoods of Brooklyn Park (63% non-white), MN, to entrap good samaritans. This is the same MO Ted Bundy used to lure his victims to their demise.

We've been far too quick to assume incompetence when it was malice all along

The Democrats are not gonna reverse any of this. None of them are promising you they will. Barack Obama RAN on closing Guantanamo Bay (which is an illegal facility just like “Alligator Alcatraz”) and when he got in office the Dems told y’all to STFU and how dare you.

btw the fact that wes streeting tried, and failed, to cover up the surge in suicides amongst trans youth following his implementation of the cass review is evidence that right at the top of the party up to and including both keir starmer and @lucympowell.bsky.social they know. they know.

My mother was 18 when Black women were able to vote openly. 23 when Roe v. Wade passed. 24 when women were allowed bank accounts in their own names I was 29 when I lost my right to an abortion. I am 33 & about to lose my right to vote A pox on every Trump supporter. Hell ain’t hot enough for you.

When you’re a UK trans woman, you roll invisible dice every day before work. All sixes, and a coworker with billionaire money will take your employer to court over you, you will be on the news, and when you leave the country, men with abuse allegations against them will call it a victory for women.

Pretty much sums it up. And it wouldn’t be that hard to change it, if we actually wanted to. Just taking action on better, well understood choices. That’s what history, and every generation to come, will remember about us.

“I order a burrito taxi every day” looks like the height of frugality next to “I go bar hopping a couple nights a week” it’s really shocking how bad bar tabs are now

Since it's blocked now.

YOU CAN'T REFORM THIS. FUCK ICE, BURN THE SYSTEM TO THE GROUND AND SALT THE EARTH SO WHITE SUPREMACY CAN NEVER RISE AGAIN.

it's still amazing that this was a conservative prime minister and it was only 8 years ago. i wonder if @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social understands that things can flip this quickly and when they do she's in real trouble. this is a good indicator of just how much corruption is driving transphobia.

im actually wondering at what point trans ppl start engaging in direct action. we've tried engaging with labour in consultations, they just ignore us in favour of what hate groups want, we've tried the courts and we just get fobbed off and blocked, we have no media recourse or outlet. 🤷‍♀️

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women." 😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that! "Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate." Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!

The one consultation I've completed that seems to have had an impact was on the Scottish Government's proposed Learning Disabilities, Autism & Neurodiversity Bill. They didn't get the answers they were looking for, so decided it would be too hard to bring legislation forward in this parliament. 🤦🏼‍♀️

if you want to know why this shit has flooded our public sectors it's bcos labour are in bed with openai, google, x, meta, and so on. they know it's dangerous shit but the right bribes have reached the right pockets.

A new study has shown that miscarriage or induced abortion is NOT a potential risk factor for breast cancer, contrary to continued anti-choice propaganda. Even several abortions or miscarriages does not increase risk. The study used high-quality Finnish registry data.

Tech executives have finally amassed their ultimate, long dreamed-of power: to summarily fire anyone who speaks ill of their desire to have sex with robots

It should bring white folks hope. You really don't have to racist unless you want to be. So just stop.

This has been a source of massive frustration for years. Labour is like a huge sack full of cats who hate each other, purely because whenever they've managed to get into power they've been too cowardly to replace our antiquated electoral system.

Genuinely upsetting to see so many variations of "ChatGPT clunkily explained endometriosis/post partum depression/menopause etc to me and now I get it" because actual fucking human beings have been explaining that shit for years and nobody gave a shit

One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.

but not trans ppl obviously. we don't get safe healthcare. we have to buy diy estrogen online and inject it ourselves without so much as basic blood work being done to check our levels.

Property damage didn't meet the UK's threshold for 'terrorism' until the year 2000. I have Father Dougal's voice in my head asking, "How come that's terrorism now but it wasn't back then?"

Channel 4's 'Palestine Action, The Truth behind the ban' reveals that despite all the things the govt claimed & implied about PA (Iranian backed, violent, secret intel etc), the real reason they proscribed the group as terrorists was because PA was damaging property. Thats it.

the part where he told his own daughter he wouldn’t care if she was victimized like the girls and women that Epstein and Trump harmed because he had two other daughters. and then he shot her after that.

Your Sunday morning long read ⬇️ If you’re not trans and you think trans people protest too much… I’m the mother of Alice a trans woman who died by suicide… this stuff matters…mainstream media isn’t reporting it because they’re complicit in it… Here’s why trans people and allies alike protest…

Any and all foolish discourse about whether Italians count as POC should be immediately disregarded upon remembering that we Italians have no social dance culture

"All the hideous preventable trauma you went through made you the person you are today!" Brother, I am literally a worse person today

the labour party are not on the left. i love it when a right wing party implodes and some genius comes along to talk about the left eating itself. it's like when ppl post up a picture of a desolate city from a capitalist country and then blame socialism for the desolation.

I am so so so bored of bioessentialism. It'd be lovely if it were *true* that I can tank infinite pain because I'm AFAB but that ain't how it works

The reframing of abusers as 'probably autistic' after the fact is deeply offensive. You can be autistic and be a awful person, but that's no excuse, so should have no place in discussions about people who abuse kids. Rarely do I swear but this ⬆️ can fuck right off, and then fuck off some more.

so apparently a March For Life rally has turned into a measles super spreader event because of fucking course they are not vaccinated newrepublic.com/post/206352/...

My Puerto Rican friend talking about dancing: “Trauma is stored in the hips; why do you think we’re throwing ass so much?”

I would not suggest that anyone read the things that then 18 year old Desiree Washington had done to her by Mike Tyson but the fact that man has any public presence now is a failure of all of us tbh.

keir starmer has robbed me of so much sleep since he started persecuting trans ppl. so im gonna go to sleep now and smile as i do so knowing he's wide awake. look at him. look at that face. look at how absolutely fucked he is. joyous. nn from terf island. 🤍

ChatGPT is allowed to swear, but it's not allowed to write erotica. Testing the boundaries of this, I found it can say "fuck that cunt" meaning screw that guy. It's not allowed to say "fuck that cunt" as in "have sex with that vulva." If we ever make general AI creatures? They'll be insane.

There are things in those files that only trafficking victims really understand or know in their bodies ... and your shock at some of those things is its own trigger when for decades we have been labeled with "false memory syndrome" and other BS that was actually funded by ... you guessed it.

"While leucovorin is generally well-tolerated when used for chemotherapy, it isn’t risk-free either. […] it can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and alopecia. And there’s at least the possibility that it could have more serious complications when used long-term for autism." gizmodo.com/what-rfk-jr-...

The ‘You Don’t Have to Apologize for Being White Anymore’ guys have now made it against the law to use the word Black at college.

Feel like there has been a lot of “conspiracy theorists were right” but what actually happened was victims were and that’s much harder to accept for most people

if there's a single quote that exemplifies "AI slop" here it is why should anyone want to read any of these "books"? clearly you haven't

“I just think women have it so much easier than men these days.” Jeffery Epstein made a lot of money trafficking children so he could spend all that money to make you have that opinion.

Goes without saying that this applies to the European ruling class also. Former Prince Andrew still lives in luxury on royal property

Something I learned as I became progressively more disabled is that the worse off you are, in any regard, the less likely people are to have compassion for you. Unhoused neighbors know this better than anybody. They deserve shelter and care. We all do.

I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.
