Utterly spoilt for breakfast this morning :) #EverybodyLovesMousecow

Oh, and for the record: the Economist article was put together and published without any input from the study's authors, who clearly pegged it as a hack job.

Buried details: the 18% of kids whose identities shifted over the course of the study were overwhelmingly between binary trans and non-binary or vice versa. The number who shifted between binary cis and trans was very low indeed - out of a subset of 254, precisely *one* kid shifted in this way.

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

The UK has recognised Palestine. It must now end its complicity in its destruction, and in the genocide of its people.

Since the Health Sec is again calling for segregation of trans people in healthcare, a reminder of what that actually looks like in practice. Inferior care and medical neglect. transsafety.network/posts/scared...

Statements and policies that claims to treat us with "dignity and respect" while discriminating against us are a good examples of what Ahmed calls "non-performative speech." www.jstor.org/stable/40338...

i simply did not have the disney adult antifascist reading list on my late capital declining democracy bingo card and that’s on me

@gemma.transwrites.world Was it you who wrote about back in 2018ish a "gender critical" group who had recieved a "bomb threat" from "trans activists" but when looking into it it was like some edgelord with a racist username obvoiusly stirring shit?

I'm not sure all of them are yet committed to our physical eradication or incarceration but that's their direction of travel. They are getting annoyed that most people don't comply with their desire that we just shut up,go away and stop being difficult.

The cats are absolutely fucking livid because they want to go out but it's pissing it down and they want the whole situation resolved *immediately*

business cat labored 600 hours in the email mines this week. and for what??!?

I think the problem with rallying around the most privileged when they've been targeted is that it never trickles down. they're touted as examples for "all of us" but it's not actually true.

Antifascist graffiti; Canterbury, UK.

Dems advertising that they are capitulating to threats of violence is not an especially smart plan even on narrow selfpreservation concerns

people have started conversations irl with me about the "controversy" of trans women in sports and you'd be amazed how quickly they want to change the subject when i start pulling up years of my historical running data comparing pre-transition and the exact same routes ~3 years later on HRT.

People getting the internet at home meant young men no longer got a basic grounding in arthouse cinema while looking for nudity on TV.

It’s time for women and allies to speak up. To say ‘not in our name’ to the discrimination and exclusion of trans people. Are you with us? ✍️ If you are a woman and agree please sign @nionwomen.bsky.social 's open letter https://goodlaw.social/wu1u

Nothing more perfectly sums up these people than the fact that she wrote “Loser” on her own cup and then pretended to be a victim so that she could harass service workers with threats of violence

Are there any decent handheld, small, cordless vacuums? Especially sub £100m? Looking for something I can just quickly and easily blitz when I notice stuff in between a "proper" vacuum. Had something decentish from Argos a few years back but it broke after 18 months.

The reason my phone is full… 📲😻😻😻

This one is definitely my favourite so far: we’re getting ready to notice the absolutely absurd anti-democratic financial fuckery we all knew about years ago and were absolutely fine with then, because it has now become convenient to do so.

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

obviously this was hilarious, but man. reading this article just reminds me of how bad things were back then. the expenses and abuse scandals, the endemic corruption, the inequality... things have just gotten so much worse, that era almost seemed rosy until i saw it in print

Ant fash rally Glasgow. Looking good so far

The graphic that the Lib Dems post when they come second in a council election is the Lib Demist thing I have ever seen

And before anyone goes "ummmm no debate????" No debate was in response to a 2017 C4 "debate" program called Genderquake where producers bussed in a bunch of transphobes to the audience and specifically encouraged them to sexually harass the trans participants.

I was having a discussion yesterday with someone who was wondering why the UK got so anti trans so quickly, and a big chunk of the answer is that all journalists went to school together and presented a united front "just asking questions" whilst systemically shutting out trans people and allies.

The key line in this is "I knew a sympathetic junior editor at the Daily Mail". 50% of newspaper columnists were privately educated, which means they were plugged into networks of influence from an early age. The "forces" are social, not just wealthy. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I like how Marr just keeps talking about all the horrifying shit that everybody knows but is smart enough to not mention on e.g. the podcast of a prominent political magazine

eg I don't want cis people who just go around saying "trans rights are human rights" I want cis people who actually know what opposing trans rights is and how that's affecting our lives on a daily basis. I want them disgusted with what we have to live through to the point they fight for better.

you know who isn't responsible for the roll back of trans rights? trans ppl. shocking i know. but clearly it needs to be said.

there is somebody in like rural Australia who is convinced I run an ABDL commune and if you don’t already know what that is do not google it but anyway he pops up once every so many months, still mad that I won’t invite him to the cult I don’t run

Some threats are bigger than others

bsky.app/profile/nest... Can everyone PLEASE give our new support group for parents a share and a follow, even if this is not close to you someone who follows you could need to see us and need help or support. This is in NI. #bettertogether 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Their proposal was subjected to a procedural device called "Move Next Business", which is essentially "not only does conference not agree with this, but it regards it as s waste of time to even debate it" This requires a 2/3rds majority. It got at least 4/5ths.

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social doesn't have the time for a meeting with pro-trans groups, even when the request is from someone who has actual experience in the field, yet has the time for anti-rights organisations. We are taking notes, and you will be held accountable!

he likes to sit in the chair underneath the lamp like it's studio lighting for a photoshoot

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

hate it when I accidentally create a political party with 20,000 dues paying members.

They ask “what rights do trans people not have?” Alberta plans to derogate the Canadian Charter and override human rights protections for trans people while a court challenge is underway. globalnews.ca/news/1143606...
