Inaugural head of the ATSA, Niamh Callaghan, 41, confirmed that changes will be made to the content, tone and “how much outright bollocks advertisers are allowed to tell you as long as they put the truth in size six font at the bottom of the screen.”

a leftist woman will have at least seven moments of realization in her lifetime when it becomes clear her leftist comrades are also misogynistic assholes

assaulting a woman is a minor vice, scolding a man is unforgivable

Make sure to rank Charlotte Horne #1 in George Street/Harbour Charlotte would make history as the first Scottish Green and openly transgender councillor on Aberdeen City Council!

I'm going to have to go be a fucking anarchist again. I can't do this, I'm too old to spend three hours trying to reach consensus on the ethics of including quinoa in the collective's monthly bulk food order

"AI is operating at a PhD level" oh, so it's replying 'sorry for the late response' to every email and complaining about its labor conditions?

✈️Private jet flights are 30 times more polluting than regular flights. After years of campaigning from Scottish Green MSPs, the Scottish Government is set to introduce a private jet tax!

"Farmer" on local fb group trying to whip up endorsements for Reform, trying to support "British Farming". Annoyed me enough to suggest people support local farmers and Buy Scottish. Now just going to watch the fun.

The far right *have to* turn this horrific event into an opportunity for race war because if the public were to become angry about how police treat victims and people in clear medical distress generally, we would insist on fewer police and more paramedics.

If you suggest police officers shouldn’t kick people in the head, you’ll get the chief of the Met condemning you on national television. If you say the police are institutionally racist against whites and suggest people should riot, you’ll get invited onto a BBC couch to expand upon your theories.

Bear in mind, these people saying disabled people not being able to give consent, IS consent, wanted to introduce euthanasia for disabled people And they will keep trying Disabled people are in serious danger in the uk

trans rights and women’s rights are not in opposition, they are in fact two fronts of the same war, and cis women should support trans folk not just because it’s the morally correct thing to do but also because an attack on trans folk is an attack on us

Let's demand better of Scottish Greens. Along side the opportunity to vote Jorg on June 18th, residents of George Street-Harbour ward can get a councillor who cares for the city in Charlotte Horne. Vote Green on the 18th and the 25th of June.

If only there were a group people that have spent the last hundred years invested in the research of gender and identity

Do men need a language of worth empowerment and identity? Absolutely But a man’s sense of self is not greater than a woman’s actual life Read it again

Great weather for frogs

Reminder people of Aberdeen: THERE ARE TWO BY-ELECTIONS. The absolutely fantasic Charlotte Horne will be on the council ballot for George Street Harbour on the 25th! Jorg (also amazing), on the Westminster ballot for Aberdeen South 18th. We are damned lucky to have them BOTH as Greens.

In the last 24 hrs, I have spoken to young children bout AI, pronouns, gender presentation and why gas powered electrical plants are bad while wind turbines are good. Doing my work indoctrinating the next generation.

Do all the men in the SNP get taken aside to special lessons in how to talk down to women leaders? As if a woman of Gillians capacity would need John Swinney to explain what a budget is...

To fund Scotland's essential public services we need to tax the rich fairly. #FMQs

Disturbingly annoying thing about RFK is when he's not doing the eugenics shit, he's doing weird animal shit. But if you've been raised in a family of wildlife conservationists, the weird animal shit is normal and its very confusing why the rest of humanity think its weird.

What's the point of "renewables" if they are just going to greenwash the absurd power requirements of data centers that we really don't need? All that work to create the "green transition" is a waste of time if we don't decrease net energy demand. We cannot afford a massive growth of data centers.

Watching the Al Frankin-ing of Scottish politics is gross.

I don't give a single shit about lost shares...I want my council paid the money owed (thats teacher's salaries and care for the elderly he stole). I want every one of those workers he took jobs from to have their positions replaced. I want a country where our first worry is people, not shares.

We are proud to have Jorg Shelton-Eckstein as our candidate for Aberdeen South.

The Aberdeen City & Shire Branch is excited to announce our candidate for the George Street & Harbour by-election in June: Charlotte Horne! Vote Scottish Greens 1 on 25th June!

Just in case I'm not loud enough-fuck this shit, fuck the people doing this shit and double fuck the people who claim to be for equality and don't stop this shit. I prefer to let trans people lead the convo on transphobia, but my hairy cis ass is about to go full metal feminist on this shit.

Very early morning on what is supposed to be my first break in three years where Im not seriously ill, recovering from serious illness or actively campaigning in a national election. Tentative hope that I might get to finish/catch up on life-oriented things? The child has a cold, hope is cruel.

this is what I mean when I say "don't let orgs and managers see discriminating against trans folk as the path of last resistance". transphobes are persistent and annoying. be just as annoying. show them compliance is going to be a legal nightmare

My week... youtu.be/T2T5_seDNZE?...

Very good perspective here. I'm not going to say any party has all good actors, but in a party run by mostly volunteers, which is rapidly expanding, there can be miscommunications or misunderstandings. Usually good to track down the specifics and see if things can be fixed before going to the press

Curled up in corner sobbing that the politics won't stop, just please stop.

Do not take the WASP bait. Leave this nonsense to the Wasps, Wasp adjacent and Wasp enablers...aka the most intensely boring people in existance. We left Twitter, leave the WASP bait there

We're extremely proud to announce our candidate for the George Street and Harbour by-election will be Charlotte Horne. We'll let her introduce herself here.

nice to see him being so inclusive but Wes, we call them women now

Academic departments deserve to be saved, supported, resourced, allowed to grow even if they're not "best in the country," "first in the REF," "top-ranked," "at a Russell Group uni," or whatever other austerity-brained nonsense senior managers have been using to flimflam you out of solidarity

Watching English people get all excited about this talking about Eds experience and how he could use it for the future. He lost Scotland for Labour Party...so I am now hopeful he'll lose Scotland for the Union.

Some fun anti-traveller racism at @abshirecouncil.bsky.social meeting tonight. No, the solution to a messy camp is not "Never hire travellers". Councillors and officers sat there quietly while residents planned to explicitly discriminate on ethnic grounds. Not unexpected really...

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

There are now more transgender MSPs now than there are Joanna Cherrys, a win for us all

"I know how to get the queers back on side"

Fergus Ewing, Kate Forbes, Ash Regan, Angus Robertson all gone 🍾

For those who dont know up here in deepest darkest Aberdeenshire, this is important Iris is one of the few city-based politicians who really sees rural people as people. Been impressed with her community-based approach to leadership for a long time and now Im crying again @irisduane.bsky.social

Scotland confirmed to have our first trans MSP! Congratulations @irisduane.bsky.social!

The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born...

You don't get to say things like this and then ask why I, an immigrant, and all of my loved ones who don't see me as a problem to be solved, won't vote for you.

What was the last week of terrified screaming at the Green Party, if not a firm recommitment that nothing to the left of Sir Keir’s Labour will be tolerated and, if our politicians and media outlets are forced to choose between left and right, they will start prepping for the transition to fascism?

Yup. Your job as regular person is not to parse whether particular policies are 'realistic' or 'possible.' You are supposed to actually demand what you need to live a dignified life.
