What does Canada stand for?

I never watch it myself but another thing for you to boycott, alongvwith the Olympics and the World Cup. No entertainment in fascism.

Elbows down, smacking hands up.

There's just no saving this mess but this too will pass doesn't bring much comfort while we're living through it.

I can tell you now Wes Streeting. UK mental health problems aren’t just medical but structural: insecure work, high rents, debt, isolation, online pressure, and public services stretched to breaking. We’re treating distress while maintaining the conditions that create it.

Only half? Where tf have the other half been?

Remember when Tarantino used to watch foreign films

We absolutely do not need a Joe Rogan of the left, I don't think we could russle up anyone that dumb.

Dawkins is landed gentry with double coloniser ancestry (slavers in Jamaica and he was born in Kenya to colonisers) when us proles didn’t show him due deference and called him a prick he lost the plot

Ashley James, celebrity star of Good Morning has resigned from Girl Guides in response to their exclusion of trans girls.

You can't separate this from the Atlantic article claiming their are too many students with disabilities. It's a moral panic meant to push out young people with disabilities from access to resources and to reify ableist bigotry. It's exactly what they did to trans people.

This, and they’re *children*. Children don’t care what their friends are, they only care that they’re friends. There was never any danger. It was always a confidence building space. All they’ve done is tell bullies that it’s okay to pick on someone for what they are.

Done except for chasing threads. Finished size 48"x48" going to my 2yo great grandson. Fabric line: Goodnight Moon FQ bundle, Batting: washable wool, Pattern: unknown. Pieced, quilted in the hoop, and bound by me.

TIL one of my favorite Twitter accounts is here on Bluesky. Baby elephants 👇

Oh dang, it's true. You're not losing Whammageddon, you're listening for a good cause. www.thegeorgemichaelfund.com

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

We know everyone is asking for your money this month, but here's a twist: We're NOT asking you to donate in December, we're asking you to spread the word. Help the trans people and allies who don't know Assigned Media's reputation for excellence and originality in trans news find us!

I do funny and/or angry shirt and other designs and digital art via standplaatskrakow.etsy.com to keep Sonya the Dog in healthy food and me and the girlfriend as well - disability is expensive. I've also been doing some pretty wild streetwear! A random grab out of 400+ designs:

Ladies and gentlemen, make sure to keep your elbows firmly up while inside the vehicles bound for a country that's going to use them to illegally kidnap innocent men, women, and children share.google/ANhrgIX5WcIm...

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

"It's too costly to stand up for you, but we pinky promise we have solidarity with you" is bullshit. "We have no choice but to discriminate against you" is bullshit. They could use their platform to spotlight Gender-Conservative hatred, or demonstrate actual commitment to their stated principles.

i'm so fucking grateful to have been raised by a teacher who read to me every single night growing up and also let me read WHATEVER the fuck i wanted

I'll note that the Girl Guides of Canada is and continues to be a trans inclusive organization.

UK children should be joining the Woodcraft Folk anyway, I did it as a kid and we were singing campfire songs about rosa parks and the dangers of mutually assured destruction. (But like, in a fun way for kids). Also run by young people and trans inclusive.

you fight transmisogyny by *fighting transmisogyny*, not by playing games with cis people’s colouring-book comprehension of sex and gender

A Moment In History: • Insulin

Man, the Bluesky Wrapped 2025 is pretty brutal

Girlguiding UK *can* afford it. Don't let them off the hook. THEY have chosen to exclude trans girls in response to a legal threat which is dubious. They have £50+m assets and £10+m reserves - much more than other orgs who often defend in comparable cases.

I repeat that old men like this who worry about the sex lives of college students should be on a watchlist

I'm always pleased that I'm a pittie person, not a husky person on days like today, when my dog is just as reluctant to go out as I am, and when I say reluctant, it's more of a are you fucking kidding me, I'm not moving away from the fire sort of attitude.

It gives me great pleasure to inform you all that fascist streamer, Turning Point UK activist, and future Charlie Kirk re-enactor Young Bob got beansed again.

“Harry Potter? The books where the narrator is obsessed with the moral failings of fat people but the protagonist literally owns a slave and lives in a house with slave heads mounted on the wall? The one with the really antisemitic depictions of gremlins who run the banks?”

Labour. Again. They could have prevented all of this DAY ONE Instead, Starmer made 50% of his cabinet GCs and hired a former SexMatters bigwig as as his Comms director Vote Green.

I am often in awe of the lesser evil con...and the amount of idiots who fall for it all over the West.

I don't often read biographies but I'm reading this and one thing that stands out is the absolute abundance of courage, not just from Dr King but everyone involved in the Civil Rights Movement in the South. Courage against bombings, murder, beatings,imprisonment.

The kind of thing you’d read on a flickering green computer screen in a bombed-out office building two miles up the road from New Vegas, having just fought your way through a pack of feral ghouls.

Girl Guiding and the Women’s Institute have announced that they will now exclude trans women and girls after legal threats – but organisations can and should remain inclusive: https://goodlaw.social/cpfx

My friend's dad was given an honorary Olympic gold medal for services to sport, he was a famous anti-apartheid activist, and he used his acceptance speech to call out the IOC fir being a racist, misogynistic, imperialist, fascist-enabling organization. Nothing has changed.

If I was head of the WI and an 80 year old trans woman told me it was the only place she'd ever felt respected as a woman, and the British State told me she wasn't allowed to bebin the WI any more, I'd be putting out a public statement declaring the WI to now be an armed guerilla organisation.

Nice idea but FIFA and the IOC absolutely do not give a single solitary fuck about human rights.

Would just like to plug Woodcraft Folk (aka the militant wing of The Coop), where children of all genders will always be welcome and you don't have to promise to serve God and the King woodcraft.org.uk/woodcraft-fo...

Only first instance but this feels quite significant - it was lawful, post For Some Women Scotland, to offer trans inclusive workplace toilets.

it's kind of a moral obligation to bully harry potter fans into making them feel insecure with themselves. you don't even have to mention rowling being a snivelling fascist. you can just point out every harry potter fan is a 12 year old who never grew up with poorly developed taste

The snowcopalypse has resulted in about 1cm of slush, so urgent warnings of Armageddon appear to have been misplaced. I expect Cape Breton is going to be getting the worst of it, as usual.

Here’s Judith Butler explaining what this movement is and always was, about five years ago.

⚠️ When Obama expanded Cheney’s kill list, critics warned a future president would abuse it. Trump is now doing exactly that. This is what happens when unchecked power becomes precedent.

Hey, you there! eagerly downloading that new Full Cast version of those books by the mouldy bigot lady, this is YOU doing that. This is what you are funding, the needlessly cruel ripping up of trans people's lives
