I wish I could go back to the days where I wasn't engaged or interested in politics. Ignorance was bliss. Now I'm just so angry all the time because of things I'm aware of but cannot control.

I feel like the way things are going, we're going to need to start remembering how to share ideas, find and support each other, and mobilise action the way we used to before mobile phones and computers, before they become outright surveillance tools. We are about to step into very dystopian times.

The more I see about the online safety act and digital IDs wielded by our increasingly right wing/authoritarian government, the more I'm worried about us losing out ability to communicate authentically, about losing our support groups, about our world view being manipulated through the few corps...

I saw Edgar Wright's The Running Man last night and I may be a bit biased as a fangirl, but I really enjoyed it. But I fear it's a future coming true right now, with corporations running the world using video and media manipulation, and the poor being pitted against the poor as a distraction.

Ha this is a brilliant way of putting it

The UK government really will take queer kids' phones away during school and age-restrict their access to queer information rather than abandon Cass, FWS, the EHRC's anti-trans hate, renounce genitally-obsessed bigotry, and go to therapy.

There's absolutely no way I'm uploading ID or a face scan for ages verification to any site. But are there any downsides, privacy issues or risks when verifying using a payment card that are any different from other sites that already handle payment cards?

What better date that 31st October to remind you of this fine publication, available now, and including my short story 'Neck Eck'? #horror #halloween #samhain #writing

Worth a read and a share!

The world is just fucked, in every conceivable way. And at the top of the Ponzi scheme of suffering is cis-het (or so they say) billionaire men cashing in on people they just see as cattle, simply there to be ground into meat as they burn the world with their endless hunger for money and power.

Since it's international cat day, here's a new pic of my kitty! ❤️

As someone who doesn't trust third parties with the most personal of my personal data, and to cheap to spend money on a VPN 😅, it looks like I'm going to get frozen out of a lot of the internet. Well, whatever is left after cautious site owners close their sites down.

The world is too depressing. It's just an overload of evil and corruption and I just don't understand the mindset of people who can be so cruel and self serving.

The EHRC – the body which is meant to protect our human rights – is proposing guidance which would turn the Equality Act into a bathroom ban. If this becomes law, it would force trans people out of public life. And terrifyingly - this is all happening behind closed doors 🧵

How much do we love this woman www.attitude.co.uk/life/peugeot...

Blue Labour have one trick (copy the right and say it’s left) and it literally has a zero percent success rate

If you haven't considered it before, honestly wherever you are in the world I think now is the time to think about your digital footprint, start locking things down on your devices and online, and really consider the services you use, what you post and where.

This should terrify everybody - "Shabana Mahmood will consider overhauling medical and legal convention that medical treatment must receive the consent of the individual." [Times]

Well... The vocal well funded minority have again shifted the political landscape in the UK, this time against Trans people. This will undoubtedly lead to more harassment in public as well. I hate this country.

this is a clear conflict of interest that should get him sacked, but it won't, because this country is extraordinarily corrupt.

trans ppl aren't doing anything beyond simply existing. the hatred we receive from the press and politicians is bigotry. it's not 'concerns'. there is no conflict with women's rights or safety. it is just bigotry. they've just found a minority they can gleefully stomp on without public pushback.

DHS has removed manual guidance barring investigations solely based on sexual orientation and gender identity. This is a prerequisite to targeting the LGBTQ community with criminal investigations solely based on being LGBTQ. news.bgov.com/bloomberg-go...

A year ago they delayed Conversion Therapy AGAIN, and yet nothing has happened since. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

@delaneyplanet.bsky.social saw your post on Insta, I hope you get better soon! x

I’ve spoken to several ex-Tavi clinicians and can corroborate everything that’s stated in this article. GIDS was targeted by ideologically driven ‘gender critical’ transphobes - both inside and outside the service - and replacing it with a non-affirmative model became a political project.

It looks like the Labour Gov have been editing the Cass Review to be even more problematic. I suggest that scientific and medical organisations re review it. As it is now even more unethical. medium.com/@notashley/t...

It won't be long til Victorian working conditions and lifestyle will be back on a global scale in the western world. If you aren't at the top, you're going to suffer.

oh. i see the british press is doing their ‘nobody had a problem with the gays in the 90s’ thing again. 🙄 ahistorical nonsense. oh look it even says ‘transgender’ on it.

Fascist creep in tech - sadly nothing new www.theguardian.com/technology/n...

Feeling a bit helpless right now against the rise of fascism in the western world. Seeing what's happening in the States and worried that when Labour get kicked out of government next election, that we'll see the same here.

"Patchbays are essential for managing a large amount of gear", yeah if you enjoy endlessly troubleshooting noise and ground loops... 😑

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas x

This is the kind of flow chart being designed by conversion therapy organisations in the UK right now currently profiting from desperate parents who don't know who to trust on trans issues while Hillary Cass spreads nonsense about desistance.

Despite this extremely well documented history of trans people and LGBTQ+ youth being tortured by psychiatrists to try to make them cishet, we still have clinicians working for the NHS going around claiming it was only done to "gay adults."

A clubbing institution, one I visited a few times myself in it's heyday and had an amazing time, it's a real shame it's owner is/was so crooked.

The Labour Government has confirmed they invited numerous known hate groups and pro-conversion orgs to give evidence for their closed consultation on the puberty blocker ban, including Bayeswater Support, LGB Alliance, CAN-SG, Transgender Trend and Sex Matters. Never let them forget this choice.

transphobes are more obsessed with trans rights than trans ppl are.

At this point we are effectively at war, it's just the governments don't want to admit it to themselves.

It never stops being weird watching homophobes dance to YMCA, the most popular gay anthem of all time.

We are getting Reform in 2029. And if we don't? What's the fucking difference.

I think about this a lot as I'm panicking in my shower.

Ok I've started one go.bsky.app/N6Qai5F If you think you or someone should be on here, let me know. If you are on here and don't want to be, let me know. If you don't think someone should be on here then I'll at least consider it. This is meant to be broad and general
