Putting my weiner in the snickers de-veiner is the kind of gender affirming care I'm looking for

One of the most infuriating aspects of public debates about gender transition healthcare is that the many evidenced benefits of transition are weighed up against “potential” (not actual!) harm. The gaslighting irony is such a framing leads to removal of care and causes actual harm to trans children.

no other way to say it, this thing in the uk where every single time a non-white person is in the news being accused of a crime we have full on race riots is very very bad

There have been a lot of counter-racism protests in the UK that demonstrate just what a vocal minority the right are. Not sure if they’ll get the same breathless news coverage…

It is very funny that the destiny of all British Prime Ministers seems to be that once they've run out of road they try to find a way to assign the entire country homework and hope they can ride it out.

oh yeah, in terms of good news- I haven't seen anyone talking about this??? In short- worst case scenario of 4C warming by 2100 is no longer possible, new worst-case is 2.8C now DOES NOT MEAN we just relax- the only way we got here is through hard work- but it means THE HARD WORK IS WORKING

What an actual king.

“Palantir tracks everyone. So we built a site that tracks Palantir. They've been watching us. Now we can watch them. Contracts. Lawsuits. Executive pay. Global footprint. Lobbying activity. Media strategies. All in one place.”

Britain would actually benefit from a wide ranging look at corruption in military spending because for a country to have the sixth largest military expenditure in the world and have people screaming like our soldiers are parading with painted broomsticks like the late Soviet Union is suspicious.

Okay bluesky knowers, I need your help. I keep getting notified I have a reply to my post, and the thread seems to believe I've been replied to, but I can't see the reply at all. Image below. Am i missing a setting? Is it a shadowbanned bot reply? Why can't I see this shit lmao

holy crap if you ever wanted to watch what it's like for a PR rep to awkwardly jump into an interview, Game Informer beautifully captured that moment

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

Knowing how beloved this franchise is and how grateful an artist could be if they were sélecteur and in charge of the cover art, for it to have been made with AI of all things in the end ... This is crazy, c'est catastrophique.

It's actually insane to me that the British Mediascape has been allowed to be dominated by a Murdoch Monopoly for this long. For my entire life, almost the entire news industry for my country has been soft selling fascism & setting the stage for a party like Reform. It's undemocratic, & needs to end

Along with electoral reform, we need media reform, because this is getting ridiculous. There is no argument against Zack’s point here. All that should be said is “Yeah, you’re right. We have to do better”. UK food systems are so broken, we have to fix them.

Sections of the media are just absolute bullshit. They've always been a problem - but now they're literally lying and making up things that have never been said. The only way to defeat the billionaire media is to organise around them. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

We're at the point where the Telegraph are literally making up quotes. I said when veg is sold for pennies in supermarkets, it's a sign someone's not being paid properly. Farmers being paid a pittance for their produce. Workers on less than a living wage in supermarkets.

YOU - “I'd like to dedicate this song to my partner, Kim Kitsuragi.” (Nod to the lieutenant.) KIM KITSURAGI - The lieutenant doesn't say anything, but gives you a quick smile, before turning away. COMPOSURE - He's incapable of blushing, but if he weren't -- he'd blush.

one thing i really appreciate about interview with the vampire is how much they understand that men should wear more eye makeup

If you liked Backrooms, please check out the incredible tv series Channel Zero, especially the Dream Door and No-End House seasons.

inherent in the idea that one should be on X the Everything App is the idea that Posting is Important. it is to you maybe. but also you're not good at it. i mean look at you. you can't even convince people to go back to X the Everything App. you are not a thought leader

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

Idk why this phrase irritates me so much, when I hear people say this my first reaction is like "Okay? What do you want me to _realistically_ do about this?"

It really does feel crazy experiencing climate change through extreme weather and have the gov cheerlead massive ai data centres and want to do away with net zero all together

The rapid rise of 'gender critical' organisations and high volume of anti-trans media coverage has been mapped for the first time by @amnestyuk.bsky.social 

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

As pithy as "welcome to the coldest summer for the rest of your life" might be, consider shutting the fuck up

Nope. And the thing about British homes (at least the older ones) is they don't seem to have been designed with any particular climate in mind. They're like freezers in winter and ovens in summer.

living in Britain is so funny because there’s three easy things you can do that will set a decent part of the population to driving you out of public life and openly fantasising about murdering you and they are - be an ethnic minority - be transgender - ride a bicycle

Hey all, I need a favour. We as a society need to unite around this one cause: avoiding complaining about Devil May Cry's Netflix adaptation in front of my dad.

BREAKING: First Minister John Swinney will bring a motion on Scottish independence to a Holyrood vote on Tuesday, he has confirmed

As Sonja and others have admirably shown, that just isn’t how royal portraits work — at all. Portraits aren't Polaroids. They're complex pieces of public messaging that reflect dynastic priorities & shifting alliances more than familial affinity. Let’s consider the portraiture of Elizabeth I. /2

"Theresa May supporting self ID" is also important to remember when people do the whole "well I regret how horrible things feel now but you do have to accept the radical trans activists went too far with the nonsense of self ID" thing - no, it had cross-party and general public acceptance!
