OK, me. Ouch.

contrast: as unions representing a wide range of british workers say 'hell no', a minister who lives in a 10 million pound house tells parliament 'if a trans person's presence bothers you, complain to the manager'

THERE ARE NO TRANSPHOBES WITH HONOR. NO TRANSPHOBE WILL SEE THE GATES OF STO’VO’KOR.

"Colonised people have never been able to create even a transitionally democratic & egalitarian society but 'worker owned companies' have" New low for anarchist prefigurative marginalism. It doesn't matter whether you alleviate poverty, reverse environmental degradation, increase life expectancy.

This is basically the central motte and bailey of actually existing so called liberal Zionism

@torstenbell.bsky.social seems pretty quiet now his cosy messages w peter mandelson have been released

yet another bright new hope of the soft left who turned out to be really right wing and now seemingly deeply corrupt. At least they won’t fall for it next time!

my main thought on Pride month, as someone who should basically be neither seen nor heard from on it, is that I have seen many times firsthand the raw deal that trans people get in media and publishing, and it needs to be everyone's job to fix that. It's real, material, and unacceptable

Thank fuck we can keep dangerous terrorists like this off the street so Tommy Robinson can do his little marches

I was talking to my gender critical friend the other day and she said “I want to kill you” so I said “respectfully I disagree” and she said “i bet you’re plotting terror against me right now” and I said “what makes you say that” and she said “websites” and I said “oh” and then she shot me, amicably

Smaug - painted for MTG x the Hobbit Watercolour and acryla gouache on Arches It was an incredible privilege to paint Smaug, my favourite dragon in the entire fantasy genre. This is being shared with the permissions from Wizards of the Coast

Yes! It’s the real-world *causes* of these feelings of anxiety that are the problem because these feelings of anxiety accurately assess the facts: the real, material, concrete, everyday *danger*. Not the imagined fantasies of paranoiacs that have a newspaper column

During Pride Month I hope we can put all the other internecine arguments aside and focus on what matters, what unites us: babying me because of the big red painful under-the-skin pimple on my left nostril that showed up today

We keep having "do women of colour experience transphobia" discourses while the UK political landscape continues to hold up a giant middle finger at me specifically

happy pride hire trans women

Getting called a 'nutter' on the first day of Pride by vulgar Marxists who want to advertise for LGBT support while upholding transphobic policy, par for the fucking course.

The most embarrassing thing about UK politics isn't how corruptible it is, it's how cheaply corruptible it is.

Eugenics, prohibition, and internment camps were all liberal or progressive policy ideas in the early-mid 1900s.

Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month begins today: a time to celebrate the diverse histories, cultures and ongoing contributions of GRT communities in the UK, and reaffirm our commitment to a fairer, more just future where nomadic ways of life are protected. #OnwardsWithHope

I really thought Labour MPs would have the decency to refrain from pretending to support Pride this year. #FuckLabour #LaboursBathroomBill #PrideMonth2026

happy pride, shoutout as always to the 1978 gilbert baker pride flag which had pink and turquoise stripes for SEX AND MAGIC AND ART, and in this house we support gay sex and gay magic and gay art

Look I recognise that you identify as an MP, but the objective reality is that you weren't born with any of those votes and it's time you stopped invading spaces that aren't for you.

This is the ideology of the Financial Times, come on now

If you’re against people’s right to collectively withhold their vote until an acceptable price is offered for it, can we assume you’re also against people’s right to collectively withhold their labour until an acceptable price is offered for it? Why don’t you want your demos to have any kratos bro??

I shouldn't be surprised that Posadists have no idea how hardware stores work, since Posadists don't work lol

Your reminder that YouGov polling on trans people puts support among lesbians for trans people at 84%, four percent higher than trans people express positivity about *themselves*.

I'm so glad that pop-up exists, for the rare times that I click through to a guardian article I take a little pleasure in ignoring it.

Israel already invaded Lebanon twice, in 1978 and 1982, before Hezbollah was founded. Israel had already been continuously occupying the Gaza Strip for 21 years before Hamas was founded. And putting these things aside, not a single thing Hezb does justifies Israel destroying 80+ Lebanese villages.

Weirdly, liberal opinion seems capable of internalising that on, say, Brexit the right lied and shifted the goalposts and there was foreign money involved and dirty tricks and this and that. However, in this case recognition of that would alienate them from people they still want to be friends with.

2. i think centrists think we just don't want to compromise & haven't considered the politics of it in reality, we'd be very open to compromise but realise it isn't possible bsky.app/profile/dani...

trans inclusion has been the norm forever, being able to change your sex for virtually all legal purposes happens in 2003, the "backlash" is almost 2 decades later what the anti-trans turn does coincide with is several years of media pressure (& that pressure ramping up even further)

As I've said, I don't know what this guy's deal is, he's for the young people. But, is what he says more dangerous, deranged and inflammatory than, say, Melanie Phillips? Elon Musk? Because it seems like there is infinite grace for white supremacists pushing great replacement narratives.

this is exactly the sort of thing the new EHRC guidance is trying to prevent

Thank you Jorts

to be clear on this: they're not only behind their target with no hope of getting there (they're doing about half of it) but they're doing *worse* than the Tories did. the clearest example of thinking the grown ups being in charge alone would do something, and that not happening.

she has a bubbly personality so try not to shake her

In ancient times Scythian transgender priestesses used to drink horse piss as a form of HRT. That’s why for Trans Pride I’m partnering with Strongbow Original Cider

Happy Pride month you buncha queers

Every time you see a ‘politics is so divided now’ take, you know you’re about to get a false equivalence. There’s never been a time it’s been clearer that a specific group in politics has gone rogue morally & ppl are *insistent* on pretending the exact same thing is happening on the other side.

There are no “legitimate concerns” about trans people. There aren’t any about women’s safety or fairness in sports or kids being kids or fucking toilets. If there were you’d have heard of them before 2018. I am a cis white woman so you have to listen to me or I’ll cry.

Yeah it’s fuck Russell T Davies

Oh sick it’s transphobic opinion column month

forgot to come back to the asterisk here. "Senior Party Sources", as always, should be understood as "I made it up"

"I've got friends who are gender-critical. It's only online you end up screaming & shouting & being attacked by them. In real life, you have a chat, & we all kind of sigh & put up with each other. That's how the world works" - Russell T Davies

A very important thing to remember is there's an awful lot of temporarily embarrassed liberal Zionists right now who, to not appear massive hypocrites, are currently pretending they're critical of Zionism but are itching to get back to praising the oNlY dEmOcRaCy In ThE mIdDlE eAsT ASAP.

lime green batman is very compelling

I can't remember who originally put it this way but they're billogical Tories and they have no right to self-identify into our spaces. Turnabout is fair play.
