They who surrender to bullies will bow down twice as quickly the next time the bully comes calling.

"Trans people and their supporters have been targeted by the right wing and the ‘feminists’ happy to work alongside them. "This often involves online shaming, as it did when JK Rowling publicly humiliated a trans woman for brushing her hair on a train" || LETTERS 👇

NEW: Grampian Pride could be cancelled in 2026 after Four Pillars said it could not commit 'significant financial resources, staff capacity, and emotional labour' to the event. @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/news/2561374...

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.

The year is 2029. The BBC is owned & run by President Musk, who's renamed it "BBC-X" Mrs Brown's Boys is played every 4 hrs interspersed with repeats of Bernard Manning in "The Wheeltappers & Shunters Social Club" & "Til Death Us Do Part". Lee Hurst is head of comedy & Laurence Fox is head of drama.

This feels like peak infantilisation of the elderly. What exactly is ‘disgraceful’ about giving the elderly/infirm practical advice about how to be physically intimate in a safe way? They aren’t children. Their innocent eyes don’t need to be protected. Plus it’s medical guidance not a jazz mag

why not? is he a real guy now? we all know he's not actually dead, it's a movie

My aim in life is to be as content as Charles is in this photo

The search function on here is buggered and it's very annoying

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman. They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

The chaos in the BBC is yet more proof that the pillars of the 20th century are collapsing in the 21st century. From the two-party system to the national broadcaster, the old certainties are falling apart. The decline has far to go. Is democracy itself next? My column in @heraldscotland.bsky.social

There are apparently people out there who think the BBC has a left wing / pro trans bias despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary and the important thing to note here is that those people are thicker than a Boxing Day poo

1/🧵 Much of the progress for LGBT+ rights in the 2010s came from powerful individuals and billionaires who had gay sons. They supported gay marriage largely to protect their inheritance. As soon as it was achieved, the same so-called “allies” began funding anti-trans campaigns.

It’s gratifying to see that the hubris of Emily Maitlis to admit to her part in the Newsnight targeting of the Tavistock, is resulting in a number of people realising, for the first time, the transphobia that has been going on within the BBC for years.

Beyond fed up with how MPs have leapt on the chance to turn a transphobic murder into something to do with children's access to mobile phones, completely washing their hands of the transphobic radicalisation of adults that has driven this hate. It's our version of school shootings and video games.

Sorry, am I genuinely being asked to believe that the BBC is biased in favour of trans people? I cannot remember the last time a trans person was given a voice on the BBC. It's as if they don't exist. They are talked about on the BBC, not talked to. This entire debate is just fucking stupid.

Brianna Ghey was not murdered for being Esther Ghey's daughter, and Esther locating the problem of her daughter being murdered by radicalised cis kids in her daughter being trans is a result of her class loyalty. She simply wants to prevent kids from being trans. She gets no more grace from me.

Got to speak to a group of young people about advocacy, surviving domestic abuse, and mental health. They were the same age I was when I was able to leave, really put things into perspective for me. Forever grateful to the shoulders, ears, and voices that helped me escape, heal, and stay safe. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

not a fan of how many people cry about “radfems” to delegitimize women who are like “don’t sexually harass me or other women.” like it’s not actually hard to be normal about women and see our personhood. sexual harassment is like layer 1 of trying to control us because someone sees us as objects

Voice actors never get paid royalties on video games. It's one of the biggest scars on the industry as a whole.

Here's my poem for #ArmisticeDay. #LestWeForget

Yes, "pregnant people" is inclusive language that describes pregnant cis women AS WELL AS trans men and nonbinary people, a lot of whom can get pregnant. But it also describes, like, 12-year-old girls who get pregnant. Do centrist pig-dogs think THEY are "women" too? Coz...bit of a red flag, that.

They glue Daniel Craig back together and he bolts upright and says “see, I was shaken, not stirred”

When I was a kid I thought this country hated kids. Then I grew up, matured, and realized that this country actually fucking hates everyone under the age of 50

I fucking hate Job Centre Plus.

Good morning to all those people who wasted the last decade saying, "there's no point tackling climate change in the UK, because China." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Fair Isle experts told me why Game of Wool rips their knitting… www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Remember, when journalists just let trans people live their lives in peace, it’s “ideological capture”, but when they use their own personal anti-trans beliefs to lead a campaign to close down the only place in the country trans youth received healthcare, it’s absolutely fine, nothing to see here.

👇

Not good enough. I want them to go bankrupt.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

‘I once planned to sue the bbc for suggesting I encouraged an insurrection the time I encouraged an insurrection on live tv’

Elon Musk today, after getting rhetorically annihilated by Joyce Carol Oates:

I don’t make the rules, I just have a knife and a passionate lust for enforcing them

if joyce carol oates accused me of *not reading* in a public forum you would literally never see me again

Joyce Carol Oates has WRITTEN more books than Elon has read lol

Hey, you don't want to mess with my friend Joyce Carol Oates. She has claws and knows how to use them.

Joyce Carol Oates is the Babe Ruth of posters. Big swings and big misses, but when she connects? She parks ‘em in low earth orbit 🤌🏾

Musk immediately confirms Joyce Carol Oates' assessment.

Joyce Carol Oates: masterclass

Winner by TKO, Joyce Carol Oates! lithub.com/elon-musk-ge...

Her most famous story is about a guy who tries to look cool and impress teenagers but is creepily artificial to a subtle but monstrous degree and is also a dangerous sociopath Anyway check her stuff out, it bangs

He should check out this author Joyce Carol Oates, she's really good

one of the funniest parts about Joyce Carol Oates going viral for nuking Elon Musk is that he absolutely needed someone tell him who Joyce Carol Oates is

incredibly funny that Joyce Carol Oates owned Musk so hard he's started trying to post like a regular person with normal interests

Joyce Carol Oates just pulverized him, didn’t she?

ME WHEN JOYCE CAROL OATES SAYS SOME DUMB OLD LADY SHIT: Crying Snipes with gun meme ME WHEN JOYCE CAROL OATES LETS ELON MUSK HAVE IT WITH BOTH BARRELS: Legolas and Gimli meme
