The rebuttal to this is that Star Trek is not a show about how the future could be but how the present should be. To eradicate disability, rather than accept and accommodate it, is a eugenicist ideal.

Hello, people of bluesky, if you are just joining us—here is an old comic I made about Dracula

Save money this Valentine's Day by being unlovable

This is the message that needs to get through. Double/triple agent Epstein celebrated Brexit as a “return to tribalism”. Farridge is part of the Russian plot to turn the West against itself. Stop helping them achieve it. There’s already one Putin puppet in power. We don’t want one in the UK too.

Absolutely beautiful Steve Sack

'We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.' - Beautifully put.

Roses are red, These times are quite trying

I'm always baffled by parents who complain about having to explain stuff to their children. What did you think that role was going to entail exactly.

Roses are red Violets are blue Wololo Roses are blue too

POP FACT: Everyone who watched The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show died one week later, due to CBS accidentally booking John, Paul, George and Ringu

Everyone is sceptical but actually I can honestly believe that he really has left the country because he's afraid of reprisals from a four-letter organisation. I just think it's HMRC instead

oh someone's wuthered all over these heights, that's absolutely disgusting

one of the most frustrating things about there being “no jobs” is that we all walk around and see the work that needs to be done. our cities are crumbling, our people need help, our world is dying. there’s so much work to be done, if only it were good for the balance sheet

The hayfever is *early* this year. How delightful. It didn't trouble me last year, so am I now up for a double dose? I fucking hope not.

Nearly twice as many English expats live in Spain, btw.

I am beyond angry at the way trans children are being systematically persecuted. The full power, violence and force of our state is smashing down onto them, making their life impossible.

listening to new music rules listening to old classics rules listening to music rules

I love music and listening to it is fun and good. Not to get too spicy on main.

purrfect balance

Very much looking forward to seeing them again at ArcTanGent this year. When your set is your full EP, and your full EP is *this good*, it's a good time all round.

The EU has just voted, by a VERY wide margin, for the full recognition of trans women as women…!

The only biosphere in the known universe capable of supporting human life is being turned into a hell planet because most of Earth's governments refuse to stop trying to satisfy the insatiable greed of a plutocracy composed of people who already have more money than they could spend in 20 lifetimes.

This is NOT what the Tory party is about. The Tory party is about *opens history book* uh oh *Frantically starts flipping through pages* uh oh. oh no. no no no. uh oh

If i live to the age of 66, I will have outlived both my parents. Feels a bit weird, because unless something goes hideously wrong, I will probably get there.

We don't want your cis kids to be trans, we want your trans kids to survive. Taken at London Trans Pride 2024

You knowe the coole thinge about Gen A.I.? Aye, me neither

I like when cats are happy.

OF COURSE Kermit feels alive, he IS alive

This should, in any sane world, be the thing that gets this editor sacked. Alas.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

The entire Tavistock scandal was over 8 complaints. They've fucked the entirety of trans and non binary peoples, because of 8 complaints, all of which have not materialised into anything as far as I can tell.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Might have to actually do this for my funeral, tbh

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

I know we're all mad about ICE/DHS but we also need to be mad about RFK Jr. He's killing -- and is setting the stage to kill -- waaaaay more people than DHS does, it's just that it happens quietly and in people's homes. Vaccine recommendations matter. Lying under oath matters. IMPEACH RFK JR

Love to sneeze so forcefully it adjusts my spine. Love it when natural bodily functions save me a physio appointment

This is almost all right wing politics though isn't it. Here and abroad. White middle class middle income cishet people will agree with (or even push for) the removal of certain basic human rights - because they assume it will only ever apply to others. Once it affects them...it's bad.

me in hell

i love thinking about bagpipes as auditory heavy weapons

Age verification? I know how Caecilius and his missus died

Every depiction of ‘peer pressure’ to take drugs on TV growing up literally never, not once, happened in real life for drugs Or for anything, until, decades later, it is literally happening for AI

I think at this point it’s worth remembering that we are not even 2 years in to the first Labour government in 14 years, with nearly 2/3rds of all MPs being from the party of that government. It could have been so easy, but the extent to which they have comprehensively fucked it is just staggering

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
