Trans people are being hounded out of the UK. The level of tyranny inflicted on trans people is straight up dehumanisation. How far will the transphobes go to remove us from public life? Beat us? Imprison us? Torture us? Kill us? They already see us as less than human so it will be easy for them.

"Jung understated the case when he said, "We have in all naivete forgotten that beneath our world of reason another lies buried. I do not know what humanity will still have to undergo before it dares to admit this.""~Connie Zweig, Jeremiah Abrams, Meeting the Shadow

Went to a local showing of this tonight and it's a proper teary one. Pretty incredible what was achieved, and without heads being broken. Any anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-authoritarian will be inspired.

Sadly I couldn't attend today's anti-racist match in Glasgow's Southside but it looks like hundreds of others did! The spirit of Kenmure Street lives on ✊

On this day in 1943, three Belgian Jewish resistance fighters carried out a unique and audacious action against the nazis - they stopped a train to Auschwitz and freed Jews being shipped to the gas chambers. Read more here: searchlightmagazine.com/2026/04/the-...

This is what a timelapse of sleeping seals looks like. Seals can hold their breath for up to 19 minutes and even nap underwater. While sleeping, they sink and periodically swim to the surface to breathe. Original post

Personally I quite like the idea that the Greens are against public infrastructure being owned by extractive foreign capital. Public infrastructure being owned by extractive foreign capital, and not the people it’s meant to serve, is a massive part of why we’re in this mess.

Quote post with the best picture you've ever taken of your pet. Maybe not the best but my favourite. Meg was so happy that day, sunbathing in the park.

Idk maybe use the whole quote

This is an absolute scandal ! 🇬🇧uk westminster’s Electoral Commission have again permitted ‘Manky Jaiket’, the fascist, Nazi, holocaust denying unionist campaigner, to enter a “GREEN” party in the Regional List This is being done in order to confuse Scottish Green voters, and to reduce their vote

"Emotions need your direct involvement. They don’t need to be felt forever, or obsessively, but just long enough to have their say. When they know that you’ve really got the message, they disappear. If you don’t get the message, however, they stick around and wreak havoc." ~Raphael Cushnir

So this is genuinely the extent of the BBC’s front-page “investigation”: they spoke to one alleged crook and recorded him boasting, one victim of apparently unrelated abuse, one non-immigration lawyer who “thinks” there’s a problem, and Jess Phillips. It’d be laughable if it weren’t so serious 7/

A+ headline. defector.com/president-ex...

Disgusting reporting by BBC using a tiny number of cases to suggest widespread abuse of a system which routinely denies LGBTQIA+ individuals asylum and forces them back into environments of persecution. This article massively distorts the reality of the situation. 1/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"The left brain creates dictionaries; the right brain creates story." In this episode Jenny and I explore the "Jupiterian" life of Frances Yates and why we need to move past gender to understand the true Masculine and Feminine archetypes. tiny.cc/w8v1101

George Robertson on BBC 5 Live - we need to spend more on defence, we need to cut "benefits" Ex-military on 5 Live - yes, we need to cut benefits Toney Livesey on 5 Live - I will not challenge this.

For American friends: this is Britain’s most bat-shit crazy rightwing newspaper. It’s Fox News with ink. And even it now thinks yer man is out of his fucking mind. Trump has lost all international support. Send that message to your friends and family, Americans. He is leaving your country isolated.

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. —Washington Irving

Fuck me. That last sentence reminds me of a very former friend. Absolute poverty breeds many proto-facists by its nature. Hence education, diversity etc etc. Which is another reason I despise the austerity pricks. Back to point Udo Keir played an excellent bored old Hitler in Hunters.

I have seen a lot of NIMBY selfishness in my time, but "my convenience matters more than cancer care" is a new low. Quite seriously tempted to email them and tell them as much.

It’s finally arrived! After 2 years of work, we’re seeing our actual graphic novel for the first time. Happy to report that it’s passing the sniff test (we love the smell of fresh ink). Wilomina: The Land of Dreams and Nightmares is out Aug 13th. @scholasticuk.bsky.social #KidLitUK

I like to think that throughout all of history and all the countless cases of brutal torture, this happened at least a few times:

I pray for Israel, may they be treated exactly how they've treated the Palestinians. Nothing more, nothing less.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

A spine, now?

Okay, this is objectively funny.

If you don’t think this post is batshit crazy see your doctor ASAP

The synthesizer is, culturally, a transgender instrument.
