look how much craftsmanship we've lost in clothing in just a hundred years

IT'S CRUCIAL TO HAVE AN ACTIVE FANTASY LIFE

"He believed that Marie, who is living with dementia, was a man dressed as a woman. "Bailey knocked Marie to the ground and threw her into a wheelie bin before applying pressure to the lid. "The bin fell over as Marie desperately tried to escape only for her to be punched and kicked by Bailey."

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

Solidarity to my trans and non-binary friends and family, today and everyday.

Also (sorry, but honestly) if I had to make a list of places cis men couldn't go to because a cis man had made a women "uncomfortable" there, it would be very long and there would be literally nowhere for men to go.

NEWS! Reform denies weak vetting after new councillor revealed to be Cenobite from the Realm of Suffering

@rachaelhouse.bsky.social’s “Feminists come in waves” top rocker patch in pride of place there!

it'd be great if you could get off Substack

My tribute to the Artemis 2 crew in the style of Jack Kirby

Weird to me that this is the thing everyone cites, because there's so much that's so much worse. In 1974 the first laws against marital rape were passed, but all 50 states did not classify it as a crime/remove the exemption until 1993.

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.

Hats off to Tunnock's for some epic product placement.

Gosh!Fest is returning in 2026!!! Our very own small press festival was incredibly successful last year and an absolute highlight in our calendar of events. We are absolutely ecstatic to announce its return later this year on Saturday 29th August. Thanks @clioisadora.bsky.social for the artwork!

Sarah Schulman and I in public conversation for the first time in ten years! On the life and work of the brilliant Rachel Pollack — trans activist, tarot grandmaster, comic writer, sci fi queen. And at my favourite bookshop in London, @treadwells-books.bsky.social ! This is not to be missed.

#OtD 11 Mar 1963 anarchist Louise Olivereau died. She was a member of the @IWW union and she was jailed for 10 years for her opposition to World War I. She resumed her activism upon her release. More in our podcast: workingclasshistory.com/2018/12/02/e...

Did you know that tomorrow, March 10th marks the National Day of Rest for Black Women, a day created to center rest, reflection, and renewal? It's also the anniversary of Harriet Tubman’s passing, honoring her powerful legacy of courage, resistance, and liberation.

On International Women’s Day, we reflect on the importance of solidarity between women🩷 For over a decade, the conversation around trans rights has been used to divide women who would otherwise stand together. This weakens our ability to challenge the real sources of inequality, misogyny & violence

Good morning. Drawing for International Women’s Day 2026.

Hopey says that there is something wrong with her bowl. Please sort it out.

Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller March 01,1948

My friend, when you hear the machine men, with their machine hearts, and their machine minds, announcing that this year will be the last year of meaningful work, remember, my friend: that there is no work more meaningful than the work we do to take care of each other.

By now you have likely seen it reported that “Meta plans launch of facial recognition to smart glasses in ‘dynamic political environment’,” so even though you already have more than enough reasons to keep wearing a mask now you have yet another one.

#OtD 25 Feb 1941 a general strike was called in the occupied Netherlands against anti-Jewish measures of the Nazis. Organised by communists it was largely repressed the next day & leaders sent to the camps although some survived the war stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9733...

Today!!! at Brixton Library

See you soon!

We have the monarchy and the government imploding, and a US war with Iran possibly about to kick off but still the BBC ghouls make little trans children having their one shot at a decent life removed, second item in the headlines and are popping corks about it. #r4today

It is time.

Like many of you, we dumped Twitter when it became a fascist hellscape. We started a Substack as an alternative, and then *that* became a fascist hellscape so we stopped using it. Then this weekend The Guardian reminded us to actually do something 1/3 www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

V soon! Brixton Library's LGBTQ+ zine fair - Saturday 21 Feb with @vampirehag.bsky.social @rachaelhouse.bsky.social @stefzinemaker.bsky.social @ghostdandyandco.bsky.social @hollycasio.bsky.social @aghhzine.bsky.social @antonissideras.bsky.social @kitsuneart.bsky.social and more!

It's #BlackHistoryMonth in the US, an opportunity to remind ourselves that the British Empire was fuelled with African blood. We like to claim to have been at the forefront of progress with the abolition of slavery; the reality is that Britain was responsible for most of it — some after abolition.

Coming up! Brixton Library's LGBTQ+ zine fair Sat 21 February with @vampirehag.bsky.social @rachaelhouse.bsky.social @stefzinemaker.bsky.social @ghostdandyandco.bsky.social @hollycasio.bsky.social @aghhzine.bsky.social @kitsuneart.bsky.social @artiecarden.bsky.social @molluscdimension.bsky.social

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

Virgin Active’s decision to abandon trans people is a shocking failure for a company that claims to be a proud supporter of LGBTQ+ rights. It’s time to hold them to account. https://goodlaw.social/oe0y
