dan's right btw - the news story says there were about 1500 asylum claims on the basis of sexual orientation in 2025, but doesn't contextualise that within the roughly 100k asylum claims - so we're looking at 1.5% of all asylum cases being for lgbt+ people

Our new album is out today! A sincere request to help spread the word!

they're playing :)

Just saw this - when I think of how my occasional off air, online opinions were considered too much for the frail, balanced BBC , seems pretty surprising what the official account of a BBC show can say - hmmmm seems like it may be specific to the direction you’re pointing

Scratch a transphobe, uncover a fascist! ‘Gender critical’ transphobes are exposing their/ radicalising themselves into racism, homophobia, and misogyny as they self-exclude themselves from humanity and only interact with other fascists.

I really can't put this more clearly. If you watch the new Harry Potter series, you are directly funding the genocide of trans people, because that's what Rowling gleefully spends HP revenue on. There's no "death of the author" here, no "there's lots of awful creators." You are funding genocide.

There are no missiles raining down on Havana. But what I saw there was still warfare | Owen Jones

As the GCs force Women's Institutes, Girl Guides and rape centres to close because they are trans inclusive, here is Suzanne Moore blaming trans women for destroying women only spaces [Telegraph]

I SAW THE TV GLOW IS FREE ON YT IN THE US GO WATCH IT RIGHT THE FUCK NOW IF YOU HAVEN'T

What the US is purposefully doing to Cuba should be considered genocide.

I read this assuming Saxon was the baby he drags around the White House. This is Saxon. He's 20 years old.

A new "kids online safety" law in Arizona would make posting the South Park clip of Trump and Satan having sex illegal, unless the social media user was able to upload Trump's government ID and a consent form from him allowing them to post the clip.

I call on Keir Starmer to step up and end this war right now with a bold act of statesmanship: sell nuclear weapons to Iran

Yes, socialism is the problem here, sure.

You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.

These well-dressed rats will be going into our galleries from 28 March as we reimagine and update our very popular Rat Trail: a challenge for visitors to find rats hidden throughout our displays. Each rat represents a different experience of rural childhood. merl.reading.ac.uk/whats-on/rat...

Hey so just so people are aware, if they do this they will be signing off on killing me. I do not produce hormones since I had surgery and was assured I would have that medication for the rest of my life from them. I have other means, a lot of people like me wont and will be very scared

At every turn an overwhelming majority of the pond's users have supported trans women's continued access but you wouldn't know it reading the Beeb's coverage...

The NI Education Minister, completely off his own bat and with no legal authority, has already instructed NI schools that they are free to deadname and misgender children as they see fit. Schools are already doing this.

Everything makes a lot more sense now (derogatory)

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

Labour posted this on Facebook. Starmer's Labour has enacted the first new anti-LGBT legislation since Thatcher and the replies are, predictably, many variations on "you don't know what a woman is". Congrats Labour, you've chased the worst voters on the planet and managed to make EVERYBODY hate you.

false! first recorded use of faggot as a slur for gay men is from 1914. prior to that it was used to demean old women who could only make a living from gathering firewood aka faggot gatherers. It became a slur for gay men because misogyny and homophobia are the same thing in a different coat.

Born #onthisday in 1790, Ludwig Emil Grimm. He was the youngest and lesser known of the 3 Grimm brothers and artist for the 2nd edition of his older siblings' famous fairytales collection. More on the Grimms (+ Ludwig's images) in our essay by Jack Zipes: publicdomainreview.org/essay/t...

@jessphillipsmp.bsky.social wants to strip everyone in the country of their right to a trial by jury bcos she's a selfish fuck. i didn't think it was possible for me to hate this self-serving, bigoted, asshole any more but she's gone and done it.

It’s a bit like how we didn’t ‘overfind’ more stars when telescopes were invented. Why has going after neurodivergent people become a national sport? www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Classrooms of children in Iran. Hundreds of people in Lebanon. The ongoing genocide in Gaza. The message from our political and media class is clear: their lives are less valuable than others. Every human being matters, and every human being deserves a life of peace.

It's 2026. Puberty blockers have been banned on the basis of a fake study conducted by a generalist paeditrician. Hormones for under 18s have been banned on the basis of a fake review conducted by a head injury specialist. Both remain available for cis kids because that's 'different' somehow

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

his killer being a man who murdered three people including a pregnant woman who he also raped is a perfect demonstration of how ‘paedophile hunters’ are just violent men looking for a socially acceptable target for their violence

😔

Honoured to join The People's Congress For The Hague Group in Amsterdam this weekend. We must hold Israel accountable for its genocide in Gaza — and help bring about justice for the Palestinian people. Join us: buff.ly/dZV324F

Ethel Cain fans don’t even try and have a good day 🥺😔

Lammy is asked if UK forces are attacking sites in Iran. He confirms that yes, if we anticipate being attacked by Iran, we can attack sites there See how it works. We 'defensively' stop Iran retaliating after being attacked by the US/Israel, they respond so we start bombing them

I knew I had seen a similar thing somewhere before Labour is a far right party

This was racist. Keir Starmer is racist.

Gorton and Denton, a very poor working class suburb of Manchester just voted against evil anti immigrant bullshit. When they say "working class" they just mean white and violent. They don't mean working class.
