As well as being a generally good thing it fills my little trans heart with joy to know how much this statement will boil the piss of that foul blue-labour ex-fire bobby cunt Paul Embery

It's Joan of Arc's feast day today. Here's a poem for everyone who needs to remember that there's more to life than the fight.

Jacques Derrida:

Work-goblin call meeting leader nasty names under work-goblin's breath then steal their ear-necklace and feed it to warg

Work-goblin thinks this meeting could have been a scrying spell

Work-goblin will not 'circle back around to problem at next meeting' will sneak behind problem and stab it in belly. Laugh it at whilst problem bleeds and squeals

All goblins are small so all goblin talk is 'small talk'. Rude to point it out though

Goblin does not believe in 'water cooler moments', goblins all drink grog from grog sack. Do not share grog. Other goblins might poison their grog sack

Explaining to my partner why chitchat at work freaks me out: "No. Work-goblin. Do work. Hide in goblin cave under goblin hood"

I think cis people need to be prepared to challenge bigots who harass trans people for being in the 'wrong' toilets.

I'm goth and trans, therefore referred to my initial lab results as my 'blood tasting notes'

Quick update

If you’re trans & born before 2000, when asked who you are you can legit answer: “Do not ask me for a single title, I have crossed millennia under different names and worn more than one form besides. Revered by some and feared by many, I am remembered differently in each age that survives me.”

Angela Morley helped John Williams make his scores a reality, orchestrating on Star Wars, Superman, E.T., Home Alone, Hook - but her name is all too often forgotten www.wearequeeraf.com/from-star-wa...

The alpine wine train is fucking boss

Earlier this month I finished The Sapling Cage, by @margaret.bsky.social and I realised that whilst I've been prevaricating over HRT because I feel sandblasted by transphobia, the question 'do I wish I was raised by witches?' is easy. Today I joined a private gender clinic.

[Whispers] Let the body keep the score, let the body keep the score, let the body keep the....SCORE!!!

Anyone campaigning for this manifesto, to elect candidates who are bound to implement this manifesto, cannot call themselves an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. This is a segregationist manifesto. Electing candidates on this platform is doing harm to our community. It's that simple.

This looks like Godzilla on his back playing keepy-uppies with the moon

i can never praise enough how 🍥 being a trans subculture symbol on the chinese internet based off of the pink spiral on a box of estradiol hrt is so brilliant. the pink spiral growing ever outward! ugh it's so good. 🍥 🍥 🍥

the only social media use responsible for brianna's death was not her own but the unchecked rampant transphobia that's become normalized by these platforms, and to pretend otherwise is victim blaming

#IMC2026 is shaping up to be beastly

Super fucking excited about this!

"oh but the times are so inopportune maybe I'll just defer transition until it's easier" even if we ignore the fact that exempting like 2008-2024 this is still the easiest time in human history to transition, do you seriously think this is all gonna be more survivable on the wrong hormonal profile??

The Peggie ET made it clear that spouting off about chromosomes/ TW in prison is harassment. The 1st 2 years I was at the OU some colleagues did *just that* almost every day on the staff forum + I was told officially that they were allowed to because of academic freedom/some other cowardly BS. 1/

Dark Eldar Starmer: I welcome She Who Thirsts but I think we should go further, becoming truly wanton and cruel in our lust for violence and sadism

The film aired in 1991 so I was probably about 7. Don’t show your 7-year olds films about infamous historical shark attacks. They’ll become animal historians.

To (mildly mis)quote November Kelly, "I love it when the forces of liberalism are brought to bear against TERFs".

I have to say it's nice that this time it's a different OU which is bowing to conservative pressure and fucking over its trans staff (/s)

Kawashima, whose Mandarin name is Jin Bihui (Radiant Jade), says she once had "ambitions to restore the old Chinese Empire," but is now content to live as a man in Japan. At some point she clearly changes her mind, since her life takes several dramatic changes. 2/4

Love it when academics who can't/won't follow simple processes talk down to me and my student support colleagues when things go wrong (i.e. they fuck up).

"Anti-trans activist Graham Linehan guilty of criminal damage" - This is how this story should be framed by any neutral outlet.

My new piece on the 2021 BBC documentary ‘Foot and Mouth - The Killing Fields in Wales’, and its revisiting of the impact of the 2001 foot-and-mouth outbreak and ensuing animal cull on the nation’s farmers. A 🧵 about the programme... #skystorians #envhum #polisky

The auto-transcription for my intro to Early Modern Europe lecture has rendered the last Plantagenet king as Bitchard III.

If there was ever a gravestone appropriate to the industrial revolution this one from Batley Cemetery fit the bill perfectly. It is worth expanding the photograph to read the words. Image "My flanges all refuse to slide" Tim Green CC BY 2.0

Trannies: do they deserve hate crimes and violence done to them? We asked a panel of cis people with various degrees of scorn for the degenerates to debate this issue

I take great solace and joy from the fact that at heart Robert Smith is just a really earnest wife-guy www.lpm.org/music/2023-0...

egg-producing equipment? does joanne mean like a dvd copy of 1995 trans-coded film classic HACKERS?

Deliberately misgenderng children is abuse. Abuse causes a 64% likelihood of poor mental health into adulthood. If schools, parents & the Streeting/Starmer conversion therapy centres for trans kids do it they are deliberately harming children, harm that will continue throughout their lives. 1/6

When you realise there's a typo in your email signature and you've been sending out emails all morning that imply you've made up the neo-pronoun 'shey'

I have been saying this for years. The qualitative evidence has long pointed towards trans women and AMAB non-binary people coming out later in life - on average - than other trans people. Every bit of moral panic about trans boys coming out young also betrays a deep transmisogyny.

35. Historical research can be triggering/traumatic (including looking at material in the archives) but there is not enough discussion about this or how researchers can deal with this aspect of the work

One thing that's striking about Ozzy Osborne's death is how difficult it is to imagine the music industry producing another figure like him. The barriers to working class people are so great, and there's a related attitude to culture that is neutered as a result.
