Here's your answer, now pay Marcus some of those big pundit bucks

As I've said, the next government must do these things immediately just to prove they aren't transphobic. This isn't allyship, it's baseline neutrality. Do this first, and then we can talk.

nobody in British politics seems to want to say it but the single biggest driver of their inability to keep a prime minister for any length of time is that Brexit was stupid and ruinous and made everyone’s lives worse

@greenparty.org.uk please ask Zack why Labour’s trans rights abuses aren’t on his list. ⚫️ Wait lists decades long ⚫️ CYP services essentially conversion practice centres ⚫️ Ban on U18 private care ⚫️ Trans youth suicide rates 14x general population ⚫️ EHRC trans segregation ⚫️ KCSIE trans segregation

Lots of trans folk are disabled and chronically ill and this would make the lobby utterly inaccessible to so many of us as well as putting folk who went in danger. Absolutely the right decision and one we are all - everyone in the UK - going to have to get used to making, sadly, I suspect, given

transphobic prime ministers I've lived to see the end of since 2019: 4

Keir Starmer is a lying tool

Please do not use words like "policeman" or "policewoman" Use gender neutral terms like "tool of the bourgeoisie" and "enemy of the people."

Best options for evading state surveillance once they ban commercial VPNs? We should probably be looking at this now.

the ruling class making climate change so bad we cant organise a protest , if anyone needs shouting at it the trillionaires ruining the world

literally was a petty feud against corbyn

say it with me class: medical transition isn't a privilege, it's necessary healthcare

The trans person who is also Intersex, Neurodivergent, Disabled. Don’t tell me Labour has been good.

Hi, it's Mohamed's friend. He writes, "Hello friends / Here's a picture of the eggplant. The first flower incubator appeared today. We'll have a flower in 3 days. / Please quote and share so others can see this. / Donate to my family. I'm not well in Gaza." bit.ly/help-mohamed

Good news for our siblings in the Netherlands this pride month.

(still) raising money to pay for my dental bills: www.gofundme.com/f/sheila-cov... (which I've been lax on posting for several weeks now…hooray executive dysfunction.)

in light of That discourse i still gotta help my mom out with bills next month so i need some money to help out properly lol

Tomorrow's my first official physio appointment. Help me afford the rest of my eight week treatment plan?

Check out this sword stuck in a stone!!

Finally a digital ban I can support! Meanwhile other countries: Let’s prevent kids from discussing about Pokemon!! It will for surely tune down predators!

and these findings about AI use aren’t just limited to LLMs (which is the issue we most often hear about regarding deskilling) but include other types of machine learning falling under that broad label

When we finally break, it’s taken as proof that we were already broken. I think of this Malcolm X quote often: “…I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.”

If you're poor you should know better than to steal from other struggling artists 🤷‍♀️ AI proselytisers keep trying to make this argument and it doesn't work on me. It's pure laziness and greed

i think we really gotta stop calling homophobic men closeted faggots actually. like even if they are in giga denial they are deeply politically cishet and it doesn’t change the fact that they do harm to people who, you know, live queer lives

It’s nice that Scotland fans are behaving well in America but it’s worth remembering they’ve made a choice to go to a country that’s shooting peaceful protesters in the face and using dead women as incubators. ‘Nice’, well behaved people aren’t necessarily allies to anyone with less privilege.

There is no evidence puberty blockers are harmful to kids. There is plenty of evidence trans kids die if they don't get them. Labour banned them.

"This Code of Practice is emblematic of the increasingly hostile environment in the UK for the trans and intersex communities. In its attempt to erase trans and intersex people from public life, this document is genocidal in nature." www.lemkininstitute.com/lemkin-insti...

"death of the audience" is genuinely unironically good advice for anyone who wants to make anything

we should actually teach minors that trans people exist and that you might be one and that even if you aren't, you still don't have to be 100% the gender you were assigned at birth. there is no "right time" to broach the subject with young people, unless that time is "as soon as possible"

Not gunna lie everyone bully discord about this again right now but moreso than last time so they stop it

chicago friends, anyone able to help?

joke about german politics: q: why is the AfD the only party that has struggle sessions? a: they're the only ones who care about mein kampf

Very few non Black people talking about the murder of Kohen Wiley. Which of course was the goal of the racists. Trump has done the work for which he was elected. But we will be back with a vengeance sooner than they think.

zenzi needs to get out of their abusers home. please help them.

I’m a zillennial (IIRC the dividing line is in 1996, I was 1994). I’m old enough that the concept of every space being built to keep people out is intrusive and unnatural to me, but young enough that it’s still been the norm in reality for all of my independent adolescent and adult life.

The Labour Government has, over the past two years, eradicated trans youth healthcare and overseen the forced detransition of trans youth, and accepted new regulatory guidance that is a segregation charter for trans people. Any genuine ban would immediately criminalise their current policy platform

Graham Platner was the test of whether the left had the political an social literacy they claim the right is so sorely lacking. I never again want to hear that your political opinions make you inherently better people, or less hypocritical. You voted for him? Go shit in the sea.

accessibility is good and important but also… the internet is better when it is simple. your website doesn’t need 95% of what it has. you just need the thing people are looking for, and you need to give it to them fast.

we still have a lot of extra expenses from renovations, plus I bought an AC because my chronic illness and pain gets a lot worse when it’s hot, so money is a bit tight this month, I’d be super thankful if people could share.

they're less than $4,000 away from their initial goal. this administration may be awful, but the people are not. 💓

One problem with trying to talk to cis people about transphobes is the things terfs say about us are so bug fuck crazy the cis do not believe it, even when given linked sources. Transphobia is too batshit to propagate without metric tons of euphemistic copy which ironically PROTECTS IT FURTHER.

It's actually always worse on football days. It's why I hate football. "England lose a World Cup game, incidents of domestic violence increase by 38% and (even more shockingly) by 26% when they win" journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...
