I love inspirational image quotes.

The ruling class needs to learn fear again.

It is is a judgment against every single country that they are not aggressively isolating the US right now.

mods are asleep post camera falling out of plane and landing in a pig pen to be licked by a pig

Online privacy education for kids should start with not using your real name and not giving out your real date of birth. Spookily this government tells them to do the opposite.

It's actually good and morally correct to hate those responsible for as much death and suffering as Labour MPs are

"Under a 10-20 year system, a worker would spend a decade or more in which their entire immigration status — and [thus] their family’s home, their children’s schooling, their right to remain — depends on maintaining the goodwill of a single employer. That is a structurally coercive relationship."

i keep seeing posts on here saying "the difference is, we do it with respect and civility" and not a single one of these people has ever had to deal with the home office

Maybe because your complicit in the erasure of trans people, massacring disabled people, genociding Palestinians and the people who are in charge of it all (the labour party) employed some pedophiles to help them do it. Who was there to stop them? Certainly not you.

If I had to choose a single thought which haunts me most, it’s this. And it has animated me for years. This thing has been growing and metastasizing for almost a decade. And every passing year we’ve grown more hoarse trying to get someone to give a shit.

More than 70 children from various conflict zones whose ages were disputed by the Home Office have been held in detention centres in the UK in preparation for forced removal to France under the government’s “one in, one out” scheme, research shows www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

also the idea that someone could be fat and happy is almost as anathema to the medico-cultural hegemony as the idea that someone could know they're trans, so it makes sense that they'd tie themselves in knots rather than acknowledge the contradiction

every medication trans people take has an evidence base that's forty times deeper and stronger than these things but they're getting rolled out quicker than thalidomide because we gotta get the NHS budget down

love how experimental hormones are fine if you're a) cis and b) trying not to be a fatty www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

You did it once before, ladies, I have every faith in you that you'll be able to do it again. Chop chop!

The non-violent direct action promoted by Bash Back is the inevitable, and I would say legitimate, response to a society whose institutions, politics and media systematically dehumanise trans people. No pasarán.

Carved whalebone artefacts continue to be my personal GOAT of archaeology.

Immigrants are being put in camps, are having their rights increasingly restricted, are dying due to the cruelty of immigration systems around the world. This isn’t to excuse the US, but to ask folks to not turn away from the horrors around them - many which have predated ICE, tbh!

Obviously immigration enforcement in the US has reached a new level of horror and cruelty, but I hope the folks in Australia and the UK and the EU who are watching from afar also take notice of how horrific and cruel their own immigration systems have been - and how they are worsening as well.

They truly do despise you if you arent economically useful to them they hate you for having to not let you starve and die they hate running a society not a business

And there it is, what Labour means when they say they are for Workers. They are for you ONLY if you are a worker to their statisfaction

Underground, Overground I love finding locations where you can see Underground trains traveling over Overground trains (or vice versa). This vantage point near East Putney station has beautiful views of tube trains traveling over the railway.

The way they always go on about Workers is of course clear evidence of how they see ruling a country as taking care of an economy not a people, but also they love nothing more than setting people against those that don’t/can’t work as an evil underclass its all so fkin gross

On a more positive note, and this is not an exhaustive list, but please do follow, read, and support our friends at places like @wearequeeraf.com, @attitudemag.bsky.social, @divamag.bsky.social and other UK queer media that provide good public interest journalism for our community.

This is weirdly difficult for students at first and speaks to the challenge of spatial reasoning inherent in flint knapping! Even a handaxe was hard on the first try, let alone a levallois

the goddamn company itself is calling its own game a trojan horse to spread AI acceptance fuck this game forever, fuck these devs. do not trust any amount of backpedaling.

so they're closing the West Coast Main Line for a week, huh? the single line connecting London to four of Britain's next five biggest urban conurbations? that's mad, weird that no one's ever thought to build an alternative route, perhaps even one that runs at a high speed, too. crazy

archive link You know what's telling about this piece? a piece ostensibly about trans kids? he never once calls them trans kids. He refers to them about a half dozen times and in each instance he avoids affirming them as trans kids and says stuff like "questioning their gender".

what you mean you want journalists to be aware of the issues they're reporting on, able to ask hard hitting questions AND be actually willing to do so? You're out of your god damn mind.

The time has come for us, as an organisation, to boycott @pinknews.bsky.social. Despite reservations about the company, we have sometimes worked with queer and trans reporters there to tell stories we thought were important for our community - the same as other outlets. That ends today. Why?

In Focus - Highgate I love the reflection of the train on the tiles.

It’s not just trans people and refugees Labour is targeting with its hate.

#OtD 3 Apr 1974 1000 school pupils in Brixton, London, most of them Black, came out on strike in support of three Black youths who had been jailed after police attacked a crowd of people in Brockwell Park. They marched to the court and police station stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1015...

"'I will continue to refuse to engage with any work involving this company,' they said. 'I know that there are staff who are already working as slowly as they can when pressured to work with Palantir.'"

There are things that I, and many other trans activists could say, about Streeting's behaviour, that we can't say in public because they're not our stories to tell. But I can say that I believe that Streeting knows EXACTLY how badly his actions have damaged young trans people.

Wes Streeting - and Pink News - are opportunistic liars who think we're gullible enough to swallow anything. If you want to know how Streeting actually treats trans youngster, just listen to Trans Kids Deserve Better: transkidsdeservebetter.org/kids-are-dyi...

As someone who has been interviewed by PinkNews before, get absolutely to fuck. This is not only a journalist-free but also ethics-free newsroom. Wes Streeting is an amoral quisling as is any queer outlet that platforms him.

Oh are we doing "children in public spaces" discourse without realising that it's the same as "mothers in public spaces discourse" again? How novel

This is why "cancel culture" was seen as such an existential threat, those in power didn't want to face any consequences for their actions

Reading back through contemporary queer accounts of the Stonewall era. There was very little "huh, guess the [slurs] are people now" and a whole hell of a lot of "fucking hell the [slurs] will not stop rioting. We better cut down on the homophobia if we don't want the building burned down."

Only way anything ever changes, except to constantly get worse, is if the same figures go "goddamn that was miserable. I ain't saying shit next time. You do not want them mad at you."

One of the lies of assimilation (and the liberalism with which it's irrevocably tied) is that if trans/bipoc/immigrant folks are just demure enough said power structures will just gently nod and go "oh ok, guess we won't be evil anymore." That's never how anything has ever worked.

Y'all, it is a good thing when figures with more power/position within establishments start fearing backlash from communities that are under attack. They should be more wary of their actions and statements because they're worried about the consequences. Without that, nothing ever changes.

If you’re a trans migrant in London (or know someone who is!) come make a zine with me in this free workshop series!

Yet more tragic, and avoidable, loss of life. Rather than wasting millions on inhumane anti-asylum measures and cutting actual safe routes, while misleading people with false claims of opening more, Labour could be genuinely making it safer and simpler to seek asylum. news.sky.com/story/two-mi...

Yesterday's report on the failure to tackle racist police culture quoted one chief officer insisting "great strides" had been made with Black communities now "only" 3.8 times more likely to experience stop & search. Yet stats obscure the violent reality on the streets www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There's two things about this piece - the first, obviously, is that is obviously discriminatory and whoever came up with the idea of spying on young disabled people and taking their independence away based on "infractions" should be ashamed www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Its impossible to tell from this whether they think extra doctors are some sort of treat for the other doctors rather than something that the rest of the population might be a bit keen on or if this is just a resounding fuck you to an ungrateful populace. But it's definitely at least one of them.
