So excited!! @tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social @taliabhatt.itch.io!

the trick to understanding these announcements is that if they cite a US politician or official they are fake

Repeating my old Twitter adage: Is it "discourse" or is it one very loud wrong man we can all block?

I made a zine! With cats! This is my case for buying as well as building the supply of council housing. I am calling on the Govt to deliver a massive fund for councils to buy existing properties and transform them into real council homes. ✍️Sign my petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/fu...

my 5yo nephew made this with the help of his parent and came to tell me about it but was laughing so hard he couldn't say anything

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahaahahahaahahahaahahahaahaha

In sum, skip the Atlantic on this one and read Monstrous Regiment, a great standalone Pratchett and a perfect book for right now, because it takes on propaganda, war, gender, and how religious zealots starve nations and ruin everything. Quote me on that, why don’t you.

the way I always describe Sam Vimes is that ACAB includes Sam Vimes and nobody is more aware of that than Sam Vimes

"why do people harass indie creators more than big studios" why does the worst person you know kick small puppies instead of kicking their jacked as shit neighbor down the street, the world may never know

i can very easily explain my beliefs to anyone of any age when i feel like it

I do not post to be part of a political project or engage in the town square. I post so people will tell me I’m funny and pretty

Sometimes I think the “I come onto social media to get out of my bubble” is a white boy phenomenon like free-climbing or wing-suiting where white men have so little actual adrenaline risks in their day to day lives that they need to artificially construct it

I left Twitter because my threads documenting the history of fascism in the US started doing numbers w/ contemporary US fascists who thought their predecessors were cool, & who would call me a dirty Jew and send death threats when I pushed back. Sorry to Corey that I want to avoid such “engagement.”

[after getting thrown out of your friend's dinner party for saying stupid shit and pissing everyone off] the problem is that you people want to be ensconced in a bubble,

not going to get into it via QT but the moment you think "If you curate right you only see some nazi shit on that site" is a good argument, your brain is already so cooked by hanging out with nazis that you no longer even understand what sentences addressed to normal people should sound like

I read the comic. Tbh, I'm less made angry by it, more "wow that just feels deeply emotionally empty" Feels very 'waoh that's deep man'

Our sociopolitical problem has a really simple cause - the right learned that society is not willing to use any violence at all against them no matter what they do.

Love to appropriate white-supremacist slogans when I experience the inconvenience of having to share public roads

Many disabled people over the years have been like “no matter how difficult it is, full acceptance of never getting ‘better’ is essential to your wellbeing” And for years I was like “no no can’t do that too difficult too painful.” And then I gave it a try for real and yeah, they’re right.

i've gone through plenty of old texts that basically go like here's all this shit about trans women. trans men basically don't exist so don't worry about them. now i feel like we're experiencing a left handed thing where ppl are like hey trans men exist and ppl are VERY UNHAPPY about this

I've had a working theory for years about the invisibility of trans mascs being a consequence of being stuck within the realm of the domestic which can also explain why much of the (limited) representation we have is like straight working class trans guys

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

you guys are laughin but my buddy jumped on a pronoun to save the rest of us. i’ll never forget they/them

When someone tells you who they are, believe them. Looks like Andy Burnham is a racist and xenophobic bully as well as a transphobic bully and has flip-flop opinions that go the way his masters dictate. Shocked, I tell you.

She designed the Dorley covers that are still in use today! She’s good at this.

Bee's covers for my first three books were striking, memorable, and gave my nonfiction especially an identity and presence. I really appreciated her help, and her instincts when it comes to indie publishing are top-notch.

The comparison I heard was data centers using the same amount of water as golf courses, and for that I was all, my brother in Christ, let me tell you what I think we should do with golf courses

Anyway here’s the passage of Judith Butler that the Guardian censored years ago

The fact Labour would rather enable the racist illiberal right if it means locking the liberal anti-racist left out certainly clarifies the type of party Labour is for anyone who might still be unsure

children are an oppressed class

underspoken dynamic of how much members of the party will go 'i will be a total war hawk, i will be insanely punitive at the border, i will cozy up to corporations, i will do everything the people at the top of the party want' and the seniority of the party will STILL go "fuck you. eat shit."

🚨NEW | Greens reject EHRC's anti-trans "guidance". Green MP Sian Berry said guidance "will mean trans people are barred from services", adding: "it is now up to Parliament to reject this document". Green MPs will vote against the "guidance". Polanski reposted her statement. x.com/LeftieStats/...

the Colbert cancellation is a labor issue, to my mind. Colbert’s show employed hundreds of union employees working nightly. Byron Allen’s non-union show costs CBS nothing (literal zero), and costs Allen very little as well since comics provide their own material for a nominal fee and exposure

I did a quick back-of an envelope calculation. Between 2019 and 2024 LGB Alliance, FiLiA, and Sex Matters have spent around £10 per trans person in the UK. £3.6m vs 200k-500k trans people.

BREAKING: The judge has DISMISSED the criminal charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia on vindictive and selective prosecution grounds! A MAJOR win for Mr. Abrego. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I'm going to level with you folks, if someone asks me what I think we should do about 'The Transgender Issues' I'm going to punch them in the throat.

This is a Bluesky peeps appreciation post ahead of a long weekend. People here have donated 100s of thousands of dollars to various causes I've shared here. Others have volunteered to make graphics for organizing campaigns. Others have made crafts to raise funds. People have donated books.

This is currently the bane of my existence

This is a line that's verbatim from Janice Raymond's "Transsexual Empire". It has never made sense. It has shock value and is an appallingly cruel thing to say, equating transfem existence with rape, but it's also nonsense. How does me reshaping my own body violate anyone else's?

What's that, Andy? We've got to "stop arguing, and pull together?" Sure thing! If pulling together is so important, stand your goddamn failed party down and put your weight behind the only "left wing" party anyone actually likes. Oh? You aren't going to? Then get tae fuck.

What's this, Andy Burnham throwing people under the bus as soon as it's politically convenient to do so? If he's already changing his tune now, he'd be a total Starmer clone if he becomes PM. The idea he'd be any different to the rest of the ghouls at the top of the Labour Party was pure cope.

By popular demand: "Estro Junkies" will have a paperback release! Available this weekend through Amazon, and local bookstores may be able to stock copies soon!
