New Study finds a significant reduction in suicidality after trans people receive gender-affirming hormone therapy. “Hormone therapy was associated with clinically meaningful reductions in suicidality over time…” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I know there's danger and disruption but there's something comforting and nostalgic about wall-to-wall coverage of weather on the morning news programmes rather than the other horrors in the new

If there's no justice to be found in the authorities, the only justice available to people is vigilante justice

It's a really tough time to be a silly goose in the face of the horrors

Me looking at all the stranger things conspiracy theorists flailing having been a long time The OA conspiracy theorist...

Make it viral.

'the bait' being murdered citizens that, as governor, you've sworn to protect

GOT will always be my marker for when we stopped watching shows to find out what happened next and started watching to find out if we approved of what happened next.

But no, Ms Rachel is the real antisemite threat

I can watch the T-1000 fuck? Yes please!

I'd like to go back to a simpler time when all I knew about Greenland was that it's ironically colder their than Iceland

If I stay in all day cooking delicious, healthy meals I might get slightly healthier... I'd be jobless so that would definitely lead to me eating less as well

I think I'm going to start viewing Avatar movies like I view panto at regional theatres... it's a pleasant enough nothingness with little artistic merit but it keeps the industry afloat bringing in 20% of that year's income

It's going to be another year where I think the best picture Oscar winner is not just mid, but actively problematic in some ways

Every so often a trans woman (usually, sometimes a trans man or nb) has to be sacrificed to the larger online queer community for the audacity of having an opinion. And it's often the ones posting about the horrors and how to safeguard ourselves from them

The news in the last week has really got me screaming into the abyss...

Moloko 'The Time Is Now' Roisin Murphy is a terf

Why does this look like it's had way more invested into it than the one that struggled to fold clothes and load a dishwasher?

This tends to upset people but I just remember what page I'm on

It's giving female characters in Mortal Kombat

I'm not sure Evan Ross Katz will survive Shut Up Evan with Hudson Williams... it's going to be crazy!

Anyone who hasn't ozempiced themself in this era is performing an act of beautiful rebellion

Agree or disagree with the merits of the operation, you can't help but be in awe of Walder Frey and Bolton's might Tywin Lannister threatened Robb Stark for months -- loudly and publicly. And yet they caught him and his cronies entirely OFF GUARD and killed him and his wife at a wedding. Damn.

In my experience pro-trans people are largely pro-Gaza/anti-genocide and it'd be great if a journalist/op-ed writer could do some deep reflecting on why that is

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

I think people forget the places Hitler took over/annexed/invaded/anschlussed before he invaded Poland because when it comes to despots or despot wannabes you can never stop at just one

I never see these in real time but I did the hour anyway once I saw it. I was feeling very rusty writing after being in editor and rewrite mode for a good month or so but I got some words down at least

Just discovered I can't read substack posts about LGBTQ things in the UK because it's age-restricted. *Slow clap*

*Miranda Priestley voice* A heartfelt film about someone suffering with dementia (or Alzheimer's) for award season... groundbreaking. (I'm being a bitch but these films need to stop)

Katya saying Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig go to work to play gay and then come home and fuck really cracked me up

So Keir Starmer's position is, 'we object to war crimes (in a vague way that doesn't accuse anyone of anything) but you can't argue with results'

I shan’t be buying any Harper Collins books from now on. www.reddit.com/r/books/comm...

The Mayor of New York City @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has released a statement:

Hot Love! Bring. It. On.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Is Britain still considered state most likely to go along with the USA's bullshit? Will Starmer do anything other than provide the US with troops and resources?

I know it's Switzerland so a different country but I can't help looking at the country's 5 days of mourning and compare it to the nothing that was done by the UK in response to Grenfell. Maybe it's a wealth/status thing? The club full of rich people and the flats full of poor people?

We've moved beyond it in the sense that we're now saying AI is a csam generator Is that better?

Okay @letterboxd.social you got me good with this one

Dear world, even my heated blanket isn't cutting it anymore. I might have to relent and put the heating up for a bit

If you read nothing else this new year, let it be this piece. A former New York Times editor laid out how they're anti trans coverage was directed from the top by AG Sulzberger, Joe Kahn, and Carolyn Ryan. This was a purposeful effort to target trans people. transnews.network/p/a-directiv...

I enjoyed Stranger Things for what it was. I don't want to shit on people who enjoyed it in the same way I don't want to shit on people who like Hallmark Christmas movies

Stranger Things wrapped up okay...what do you mean there's another 45 minutes left!?

I won't lie, this was not my first attempt. The positive ones felt like a lot of pressure tbh so I spun the wheel several times

I think Matilda: The Musical (the film) is one of the best musical adaptations to screen. Revolting children is a great song but also a visual delight to watch. It treats each song like an action set piece which really works

Don't want to upset any film buffs but I wasn't a big fan of One Battle After Another

Watching One Battle After Another: that Madonna/whore dichotomy is a bit on the nose

Hudson Williams in interviews reminds me of that meme/trope of straight men who accidentally end up in 15 year gay relationships because they think their husband is just their friend even though they've been having sex the whole time

Hates on The Greens Suggests a bunch of policies much more likely to be enacted by The Greens than Labour

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with the horrors of reality. Because how many people does it take for the torture of prisoners in El Salvador to happen...two governments and their administrations, the employees, the voters, the passive citizens? Hundreds, thousands, millions.
