I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents. I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights. sianberry.org.uk/publications/l…

The first of many to get caught, I hope. Too many people in public life have taken money from foreign powers to act in ways that harm us all. Ironic that so many of them tout conspiracy theories while being part of actual conspiracies.

E girl specops

Very interesting and instructive that most of the people who are really confused about opposition to mandatory ID cards are journalists. Wonder if this tells us anything about their profession?

Leftist media white british straight cis guys showing their arses and lecturing us about digital ID will be a good thing? SURPRISE!

I'm impressed by the gov.uk petition server's resilience, frankly. It's racked up over 760,000 signatures on the "no to a digital ID card" petition in little over an hour, and each of those requires an email confirmation. That mail server's throughput is *scary*! (20M emails/day.)

i am poorer than you and this has nothing to do with left and right the left and right are actually fully aligned on this shit the only ppl in favour of digital id are well off centrist pundits like you who think it's a good way to control uppity minorities and the poors go fuck yourself, lewis

Nobody: Middle aged white men from the Home Counties who’ve been into central London once in the last decade:

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

I’m sorry if my reply came across as too short or casual an answer. It may not have been my intention but it’s an absolutely valid and awesome interpretation to see Frankie as trans. I love seeing what people take away from stories and that will always be the case. It’s the beauty of fiction!

Alright I didn’t check bluesky till this evening. Re: Frankie, I feel like my answer to a question was wildly misinterpreted. I think seeing her as trans is awesome, I see the connection when ppl talk about it, and I have also never in my career been against hcs, why would I start now?

The sheer piss-taking irony of their statement is Trumpian

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Me: forever mad about the FBI’s surveillance, propaganda, violent work to destroy everyone from Du Bois to BLM Also me: people need to understand what is happening to Comey is bad, big bad. It’s the both/and. Sometimes I think the hardest work for educators and media is to explain nuance/context

He may play a CREEP but Mark Duplass is a stand-up guy, as Duplass Brothers Productions is teaming up with the Transgender Film Center to launch the Found Footage Fund for trans filmmakers.

hey @jimmykimmel.com you won your battle, for the moment, with a lot of help from the public, now pay it forward and have this woman on your show

stop telling me it’s not surprising that, as an author in the forties, Asimov didn’t include many significant women in Foundation. the latest research indicates women may have existed since at LEAST 1922

i really wish our law enforcement and media werent telegraphing to mass shooters that messages written on bullets will be breathlessly and uncritically publicized with no further examination

I was just explaining to someone that for some folks AP is a way of solving the problem of scheduling (ie, AP is a way of keeping to a schedule). Sometimes that’s more than enough, you know?

The homogenisation and consolidation of buisinesses and brands has led to the erosion of the midlist, the indie movie or band or comic. There's a real sense of "I'll only try media that's already popular / famous," and I'm begging you to look for the weird shit, the experimental, the niche.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Gets her really angry then pokes her in the side?

With Green Arrow ending, several From the Ashes books ending, Birds of Prey ending and Avengers Academy ending my advice to you is follow and support the writers and artists that worked on these books. #comicsky

Even when we tell them what we want these dudes: liar!

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally. Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

It's alarming how many people need to hear this: racism is not the natural and inevitable response to the presence of (the wrong number of) racialised Others. It is a learned response, and as such it is contestable and replaceable. This is anti-racism 101. Entry level stuff.

Someone rated all our free quickstarts 1* this morning. Now im no Mr Elysium but I wonder... 🕵‍♂️ Please rate games you like. Cause someone who has a "problem" will always rate poorly.

This is BRILLIANT! 😆

And also I was almost certainly outraged by [thing] but I am a responsible person and only speak on things when I feel confident I have enough information to be a useful part of the conversation! Just cause I didn’t post about it doesn’t mean I wasn’t outraged!

feels like it’s time to say as a preemptive: if i ever get picked up or arrested or criminally targeted by the state in general, please know i did not do anything! i’m just a reporter! it’s plain ol fascist repression. please send fun books and put money on my account so i can call my baby. ty!

Bacially almost all the major black and white characters were born out of homages to minstrelsy. I talk about this in my Character Design classes actually

All of these are the most moderate positions btw.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Boomers have "walking uphill to school" and GenX-ers have "drinking from the hose." What do we Millennials have? The obvious answer seems to be "waiting 20 minutes to download a picture of Jeri Ryan in a bikini" but there is also the wildcard: "washing our hands with dishwashing liquid." Thoughts?

"GOOD LUCK arresting ppl for being antifa when that's not a real org!" *arrested as antifa for annoying police* "GOOD LUCK prosecuting this in court!" *gets held w/o trial for years or sentenced in kangaroo court* "GOOD LUCK when the media hears of this!" NYT: Trump: Best Pres or Bestest Pres?

Big Pharma has the chance to do the funniest thing rn and bribe the hell out of Trump to say: "Actually, Tylenol is perfectly safe, and we're even going to start subsidizing it" and then he can throw RFK under the bus. Yeah, it'd be rewarding a monster with money BUT, counterpoint, it'd be so funny.

once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system

I get the rapture jokes and I’m enjoying them as much as the next guy and also I hope everyone is keeping in the back of their minds the fact that these folks are literally praying that all the Jews in the entire world drop dead tonight so they can climb over our dead bodies to reach heaven

Disney: over the last 72 hours we were shocked to discover that censorship isn’t cool.

They literally draw lines on the ground for you

Ok Bluesky help me out: To raise awareness of @embersofhumanity.bsky.social hitting Backerkit next month, I want to offer myself out to podcasts, communities and other online groups as a GM/Guest. I wanna run my game for people and show them why it's so wonderful. Who should I be talking to?

Have you followed Huckleberry's BackerKit yet? Gonna be 🔥🔥🔥 www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

honey, what's wrong, you've hardly touched your festive fall gendered butt wipes

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

Screenshot with alt text so people don't have to sift through

Also this week, in an interview with Mumsnet, Streeting advocated for trans segregation. www.mumsnet.com/news/wes-str...

If you want to push back against censorship, here’s some actions to take. Censoring *yourself* is not the way. Please listen to those who are most affected (nsfw artists) and what they’re asking us to do which is not to be silent!

I have rarely seen such unadulterated bollocks. I loved Twitter, it was so important for my job. Then a mad megalomaniac took it over and made it so no one would see my posts unless I paid him money - and even if I did that I would be submerged in nazi hate. But yeah this is our fault.
