The ruling, as I understand it, did not say that trans women cannot use women's toilets as such. It said it is lawful to exclude us. Which sucks but the difference matters. If organisations discriminate against us it's a decision they are making, not something they've been forced into.

Now seems like a good time for my regular reminder that if you support me because I seem like an 'acceptable' trans person, because I pass as cis and go to church and seem polite or whatever, but you don't support ALL my trans siblings, then you don't really support me at all.

easter sunday. thinking about how in so many of the bible passages where jesus comes back, he proves to his disciples it’s really him by showing them his scars: his hands, his side. christians often interpret this as nothing more than a proof of authenticity, or sometimes a sign of power

good friday today. personally i do not buy the idea that jesus was fated to die in order to somehow metaphysically save us from our sins. i think the true magic of reconciliation came before and after - after, because after we killed God, He still wanted to be friends with us.

I wake up, I post bangers. You wake up, the splendor of your legacy radiant, evident to all who behold it, shimmering in the new dawn, present to its moment. we are not the same

maundy thursday again. typically at this time of year i type up a little sermon about Love and how beautiful love is and how radical and important it is to love one another. and i continue to think about that this year - i am always thinking about it - but this year it feels like the vibes are Off

and i’ll DO IT AGAIN!

So, to recap: the suggestion is: the UK creative industries grant open access to all their historic and future work and IP, without payment, to the brains behind a nascent industry that just tanked $1tn in a couple of hours. Sure. Seems great.

if Sebastian Stan doesn't get an Oscar nom for A Different Man, it's an embarrassing personal failure on the part of A24's marketing department.

Just a heads up for peeps, if you bought a Neil Gaiman audiobook from Audible, they are allowing refunds for them with no questions asked and no matter how long ago you bought them. I don’t even have an active subscription and they gave me credits back for two titles purchased in 2020.

just saw Heretic and having a lot of thoughts about it (loved the movie, btw). honestly think there’s an essay in this - about how both religious institutions and atheist movements frequently dehumanise and devalue women of faith. if anyone wants to commission this or knows where i might pitch, hmu!

MARIO TESTED GIRLFRIEND APPROVED

NOT loving having donated to one (1) gaza gofundme that seemed legitimate and thereafter being followed and skeeted at by a raft of people asking me for money. idk, just makes me feel like I got scammed and have been put on a list of Gullible Idiots To Harass

hey, what the fuck?

hello the Spirit is upon me in re: a very nice passage about the Nativity that's going around. I'm not gonna shit on the nice passage I'm just gonna say my piece

man - the muppet christmas carol truly is a perfect movie

Everyone keeps saying bad politics means good art. That died in the late 90’s with skyrocketing rent. Your landlord killed it. Another reason to hate the bastard. Where’s the next great music movement? At their day job on their third coffee with a mind full of hate but no energy to create.

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

Right now, prison reform should be at the center of our thought. It is something on which we might build consensus if we worked together. /thread

It's a bold move by Wes Streeting to indefinitely restrict people's access to healthcare given recent events.

more like shame month, am i right

Ngl its time to start shunning Labour and their cheerleaders full stop; section 28 was rightly seen as an abomination that made the Tories despised among a significant number of people, if you make excuses for this then I'm going to assume you would have supported that at the time as well.

hello world!

"i love you. thank you for watching heartstopper with me on this beautiful 9/11." - @claralaherty.bsky.social

anyway yeah so i finished my novel - it’s taken me four years - when i started it i was single, living in london, and halfway through a master’s degree, and now i am none of those things - if you’re interested in sad girls, time travel, and co-dependent semi-romance, and want to read my book, hmu!

i love my novel and i love my girlfriend and i LOVE MY NOVEL and i LOVE MY GIRLFRIEND -

huge congrats to my based and epic gf @kimberleychiu.bsky.social, who just finished the latest draft of her novel! I've read a lot of it, and it's incredible!!!

@nigella.bsky.social i read your guilty pleasure essay for the first time and now i’m crying! in the coffee shop - it is such a beautiful piece and so perfectly captures how i feel about food, which is a thing i often feel silly about (but i suppose now should feel less silly about?)

if we really think about it… i mean if we really think about the realities of capitalism… it becomes clear… the whole WORLD has executive dysfunction

i dunno about you… i’m feeling twenty, uh, six -

“oh my job is so nice i get to read books for a living what could possibly be better” well SOMETIMES the books are HORROR NOVELS about people TURNING INTO HONEY and I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS. THEY ARE NOT PAYING ME ENOUGH TO BE HAUNTED
