Shabana Mahmood failed her 11 Plus. Maybe she should be a little more forgiving of needless trivial unrelated benchmarks to success at something. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

No-one can ever explain to my neurodiverse arse why these 'jokes' funny. I say this a lot, i know, but comedy and jokes have structures and patterns. Think of anything that is a joke that makes you laugh, you can say why its funny. The timing, absurdity, a pun etc Its never jokes, its dehumanising.

Sex Matters once again sounding exactly like incel forums and medical bad takes of 'pee is stored in the balls'. As someone who has had the honour and privilege of being intimate with a neo vagina, i am not sure what function its missing? Wifi? GCritters love to pretend trans people can enjoy sex.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly. I wonder how they got to this editorial decision? Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again. join.greenparty.org.uk

🏮 He's very concerned about measures which oblige trans people to out themselves publicly and significantly increase their vulnerability to harassment, abuse and even violence 🏮 And he asks for an evidence-based approach. This ought to be common sense but sadly none of this is evidence based.

🏮 He thinks the direction of travel in the UK will breach its human rights obligations in multiple respects - pushing trans people into an 'intermediate zone' and jeopardising their right to be treated with dignity and to be able to participate in all areas of everyday life...

Quite a bodying, here, for the UK, from the Commissioner for Human Rights, Council of Europe. 🏮 He points out the Supreme Court ignored human rights (which breaches its legal obligations) 🏮 He says, in effect agreeing with Lucy Powell, Parliament should be involved... rm.coe.int/letter-to-pa...

10 yrs ago our, then tory, government issued a travel warning when north carolina implemented a bathroom ban. that was a tory government. now a labour government, under @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social, are going to implement a bathroom ban to keep the far right christian group 'sex matters' happy.

...and all bcos of jk rowling. we live in an oligarchy.

Yes. We know. That's the point of what's happened over the last decade and you helped us get here.

i'm an adult in the same way a tomato is a fruit

transwrites.world/ciara-watkin... Ciara Watkin has been convicted and imprisoned for being transgender in a transphobic nation by @gemma.transwrites.world

Here we go! 📝📝📝 🚽 Scrap the Bathroom Ban🚨🏳️‍⚧️ Our work so far is already working (see here: archive.ph/gaCN4) Now we’re demanding that any new Code must outline how providers can lawfully *include* trans folk in their services. ✍️ Write to your MP with our easy tool: actionnetwork.org/letters/scra...

he also said that 80% of antifa's members are landlords and if you lower the cost of housing, you basically starve the network of its financing

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

As if every autistic Amish kid doesn't Rumspringa their arse right out the door asap to unmask and never go back.

Lower bills. Fund our NHS. Not their culture war nonsense. youtu.be/1CbN6TUTRZs?...

The newly released Official Statistics for Hate Crime in 2024-2025 do not accurately reflect the true prevalence of anti-LGBT+ hate in England and Wales. This misrepresentation matters. Read our full statement ⬇️ bit.ly/3J6BNYr

In honour of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand. "We are back together"

People in the QTs lamenting Farage worrying about tampons in the men’s loos which is exactly what he wants coz then we’re not bringing up how he knows Nathan Gill.

Solidarity with all trans and intersex people having their existence debated every time a tv host hasn't done their prep and can't think of any more questions

People are rightfully comparing this to passages of Anne Frank's diaries. A less referenced aspect of these fascist raids and abuses in relation to the Frank family is how there was no refugee system in the USA for them to apply for back then. We need accessible safe routes to help people escape.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

A terminology proposal:

Says a man in a party full of transphobes.

Streeting will find a Cass-alike who fancies a peerage to file a report that people who identify as coroners are mentally ill and need conversion therapy.

The absolute gall to say that on stolen land of Native peoples who had perfectly "healthy societies" that in some cases have multiple genders until white people turned up and genocidally destroyed most of them.

Any comment Wes Streeting? Or will you call the coroner a liar as well?

Yet another BBC nonce who had the industry elites cover for him. When i worked at The Zap Club it was well known and that was late 90s. We'd warn girls he took a shine to, then discover we weren't booked to work his events. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

New from 404 Media: we've obtained a leak from inside Palantir describing Palantir's plan to help ICE find people to deport. Includes peoples' location. Palantir is expecting a backlash, preparing comments for employees to tell their family. Says ICE "mature partner" www.404media.co/leaked-palan...

TW: child suicide. . . The NHS continues to fail trans kids. This child’s suicide was preventable, the coroner said, but not by the NHS as it is currently operating.

Privileged white dudes trying to reclaim the St Georges flag from racists seem to be oblivious to how there can be working class people who see it as a violent symbol. Reminds me of edgelords posting swastika then arguing that 'well actually its a religious symbol of blah blah blah'

website now fixed up! www.documentfilmfestival.org/document-hum...

absolutely unreal. amazing. he was using his ‘art’ to stand up for free speech.

Trans rights are civil rights. If you aren't willing to die on the hill of trans rights, then you aren't willing to die on the hill of Black rights. Of Jewish rights. Of disabled rights. Of gay rights. Of anyone's rights. Human rights.

Nice! I got blocked by Mick Hucknall on Twitter. Great times.

A few years back my whole flat flooded. It was late at night and the landlord would do nothing - it was literally raining inside my entire bedsit. I then discovered my insurance wouldn't pay out because of the landlord's inactions. People set up a crowdfunder on SM and replaced my essentials.

trans ppl are not a ‘purity test’. we’re ppl. human beings.

The only way to stop a bad guy illegally attaching things to lamp posts, is with a good guy illegally attaching things to lamp posts, apparently...

/@heritagefdn.bsky.social is real, and needs to be blocked and banned immediately.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Educating my MP via email on the repercussions of something he voted for and he is completely clueless as to any of what i am talking about. He is trying to deny bits of it. I have receipts. Dont worry, its niche, its disability benefit cuts in the forced UC migration. /s

Ahh "overdiagnosis" yes the eugenicist term for "I hate disabled people". You'll note its not "misdiagnosis", they cant just decide a medical diagnosis is wrong because of how they feel about it.

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

Very normal behaviour this just days after an actual terror attack

GLASGOW! The Document Film Festival: Sat 18th Oct 1948 CREATION AND CATASTROPHE (A historical recap of the conflict through the eyes of those who lived through it) & FROM GROUND ZERO (a series of short films by Palestinians trying to live through the trauma and devastation of the current crisis).

Yes, you read that right: Sandyford has a wait time of 223 YEARS. I went to the Tavistock for my first appointment at the beginning of 2023, after waiting nearly 5 years. Two years later, it’s nearly 12 YEARS. That’s more than doubled in 2 years. These numbers aren’t by accident, they’re by choice.

I find the chasm of What Sectarianism Is Allowed & What Isn't here in Scotia to still be vast. However i also find this hilarious use of the law. So, i'll have this one as a lil treat. As others have said, Murdo's got his sash in a twist.

[waking up]: oh what the fuck now

wes streeting should resign.
