"I don't call the police as a general rule, so I can't fathom calling them on another sex worker. I wish more people would follow the same ethos." jackviolet.com/2026/06/07/p...

A legend, an icon and a trailblazer.

This, from Amnesty International, tells you all you need to know about transphobic bias in UK mainstream media.

I'm reluctant to speak up on trans topics these days because it's often not worth the pain caused, so I'm probably going to regret this, but disappointingly a lot of people need to hear this. Accusing trans women of "male socialization" is an astonishingly cruel, callous, and spiteful thing to say.

It's a particularly cruel way to misgender us, but as well as that I often see it weaponized against trans women to silence or punish us for daring to assert ourselves; be quiet, be a doormat, go away, otherwise it's your "MaLe eNeRgY" showing. It's only ever trotted out to put us in our place.

Wes Streeting is an extremist. This is like the Home Secretary meeting with the BNP, Britain First, Patriotic Alternative, Eugenicists for a White Christ, and whatever else “to discuss citizenship issues” He should be nowhere near power.

I’m sure this is unrelated to the fact that last month data workers revealed they were asked by Meta to review video from Meta Ray Bans of user’s intimate moments like having sex or using the bathroom.

Particularly alarming that this includes Lebanon & Gaza. I had just shared imagery from March 18 showing the demolition of villages along the southern border of Lebanon by the IDF and now not even that imagery is available: bsky.app/profile/godi... Mass demolitions haven't stopped in Gaza, either.

it's always "bluesky is too toxic. no one likes posts anymore" & never "bluesky is too toxic: cis libs will send a rape victim's rapist her posts for squatting on their hashtag" or "bluesky is too toxic: people will post revenge porn to silence women from criticizing their favorite journalist"

This was written on an arrest warrant for Janette Goering, one of the Prairieland defendants. Do you use Signal? This is what they want to do to you.

*eye twitch* "the work shows that some of what medics are learning about the anatomy of the clitoris is wrong, and could help prevent women who have pelvic operations from ending up with poorer sexual function."

The latest episode of Philosophy Tube is about conversion therapy, why it’s still legal in the UK, and the ways the British government is implicated in it making it NHS policy. Proud to expose this stuff ✊ youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

It's also what we recommend to folks whose lives literally depend on the security of their communications. All of that being said, never forget that ANY communication protocol is only as safe as the device it ends up on, and the people who receive the message.

It’s actually really liberating from the grip of paranoia to assume you’re being read or listened to and act accordingly. If you assume what you say is public, if you don’t want someone to see it or hear it, don’t say it or do it. But if you do say it, say it with your whole chest

For over a decade I have tied my shoes one specific way: Ian's Secure Shoelace Knot. I learned it from Ian (aka Professor Shoelace) whose site is over two decades old. The knot has never failed me. I spoke with Ian about knots and the dangers of the modern internet. aftermath.site/ians-shoelac...
