Oh and just remember - once you’ve decided a minority’s human rights are up for debate, you’ve decided HUMAN RIGHTS ARE UP FOR DEBATE. To everybody who framed all of this as “The Trans Debate,” well done! You’ve opened the door to The Anybody Debate.

I have some more £10 commission slots available now! Please send me a message if you would like to commission one!

The Representation of the People Bill is a rare chance to renew our democracy - yet it ignores the voting system driving chaos and disillusionment. We need MPs standing up for fair votes in this upcoming debate. Urge your MP to attend: actionnetwork.org/letters/repr...

Seen a couple of clips the past week from some 1995 Kyrgyzstan documentary The Universe of Manas and had to check out the whole thing. Just absolutely fucking unreal levels of drip here youtu.be/jgJZCaOI5KE?...

Fair warning: I am not going to shut up about Verses today. It’s a game I’ve been actively working on for over a year, and an idea I haven’t been able to forget for 10 years. It’s currently a proof of concept but what’s there is really fun. I sincerely hope you love it! youtu.be/co_mREUC6Q8?...

They're calling it the Representation of the People Bill, while keeping a voting system that fails to represent the people. Add your name to demand they make it do what it says on the tin

A fascinating little video about the ol' Mother's Ruin!

New stuff from @thearmypainter.bsky.social arrived yesterday. Really liked the first two sets so keen to get into these! #JohnBlanche #Grimdark #miniaturepainting #nerdlings

They incarcerated a white, retired British grandmother with a valid visa. For 2 months. I'm glad this article gets into what most don't: Even if you manage to get released, that's 2 months of not paying your bills. Her credit was wrecked. She's retired - younger folks would have lost their jobs.

LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE MOVE IN THE ANTI-TRANS GAME IS DESCRIBED IN DETAIL AT THIS VERY PUBLIC CONVENTION THAT THEY HELD And there are cis people out there who still think the anti-trans movement was somehow a natural, grassroots expression of legitimate issues.

Girlguiding and the Women’s Institute say that they have been left with no choice but to exclude trans people, even though they don’t want to. This is outrageous – and we want to defend them. Help us do that here🛡️👇 https://goodlaw.social/1t1a

Urge your reps to ban Surveillance Pricing and boycott any business that uses it. If it’s allowed to take root, you will be robbed for the rest of your lives.

This is the Gov looking for your input on the BBC. It takes a while to complete (15/20 mins) but it’s pretty comprehensive and covers most aspects. Please share. I’m surprised many people haven’t seen it yet. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Trans people in the UK would be well-advised to get accessible toilet keys. Get them from us and you can: A) get them for free if you need one B) pay and keep your money within a community initiative that's doing vital work to build the support framework the trans community desperately needs.

This was absolutely horrible reading. Fuck the Labour party with their "we're introducing legislation against conversion therapy" lies, fuck the "gender critical" assholes that were given a free hand in unleashing this absolute shitstorm, and fucking hell.

This guidance is horrifying, and translates as the *expectation* that schools be permitted to force young trans people back into the closet in most circumstances. The expectation that doing so could successfully pressure them into no longer being trans into adulthood. Institutionalised conversion

I am one of the most published academics on the childhood social transition, with 5 peer reviewed articles that relate to the topic. There is so much evidence of benefit of social transition. There is no evidence of harm. Not one jot. This will literally kill trans kids. No exaggeration.

Please everyone when guidance is available PLEASE RESPOND to this consultation- we need supportive voices to be heard, especially parents and carers of kids. ALSO scotland currently has its consultation ongoing for its version of this. its better but not much www.scottishtrans.org/protect-tran...

We welcome the court’s finding that the proscription of Palestine Action was UNLAWFUL. This case has exposed a deeper problem where the line between direct action and terrorism has become dangerously blurred. www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/libert...
