Brave sir Ian ran away

The gall though, to spend the last few months on here posting trans-supportive stuff just to do this

I hear Ian Dunt is backing Streeting for leader. That face turn away from transphobia didn't last long, did it? Told you he's not to be trusted on this.

As I was saying

I fucking HATE these people. Things Schools actually need: funding, training, thousands more SEND places, SEMH & MH provision EVERYWHERE, strip the overloaded curriculum, school nurses, social workers, Speech & Language & OT provision, funded pay rises Govt gives us: Robot authoritarianism

They going to haul in the McCanns too for their neglect? Of course they aren’t.

I'm sorry but what the fuck were these poor people supposed to do? Go to the police and say "my son has bought a knife I think he's going to do something bad"? And what would the police do? Nothing. No crime had been committed at that point. This is a filthy witch hunt.

Do others struggle with guilt & inadequacy because of disability? Like I can't go that hard, I can't do that thing, what's that say about my worth. I know all that is nonsense internalized ableism but I can't be the only one who deals with it.

Kim Davis married her first husband, divorced him, married her second husband, divorced him, married her third husband, divorced him, then remarried her second husband. Hell yeah, sanctity of marriage!!!

I’m so sorry I couldn’t see into the future when before 2019 I, like much of the rest of the world, liked JK Rowling. Next time I will get my crystal ball out and be alert for any future bigotry.

The people that should actually be charged with failing to prevent the Southport murders is Prevent. He was referred THREE TIMES.

I'd be quite happy to see Starmer go, but when you have Streeting and Mahmood being presented as the most viable alternatives it doesn't exactly bode well for the future. Seems guaranteed that the attacks on marginalised communities we have seen already will be ramped up. www.bbc.com/news/article...

lol, banning VPNs will bork basically all multinationals’ IT systems.

The UK government really will take queer kids' phones away during school and age-restrict their access to queer information rather than abandon Cass, FWS, the EHRC's anti-trans hate, renounce genitally-obsessed bigotry, and go to therapy.

I hate this "phones" conversation regarding queer people and queer kids because the bottom line is, cishet society KNOWS. Right-wingers KNOW that the internet is how queer people connect to each other---hell, that marginalized people period use it to organize and educate. That's why they hate it.

a lot of queer folk can't quite put their fingers on why they're so angry and upset about this shit and yeah no this is it. We all know and we even know that they know too. Eg the MP can't even give a single line explaining how this phone shit would have helped Brianna. They're just playing dumb.

I mentioned previously how Brianna was taught in school primarily in isolation and idk if non brits know what that means. Tldr it's a room, generally with stalls in it so you can't see other kids and a teacher watching you. it's generally where kids are sent for bad behaviour.

The university I work at has a VPN that, among other things, enables staff to access their HR dashboard when not at work. This enables us to book holidays and access pay slips as needed. The Labour government are ludicrously out of touch.

Once again, “protect the children” drives people quite insane, and rarely actually protects any children.

“Banning VPNs” would make the ordinary everyday working practices of millions of people impossible. For no gain whatsoever. It’s raving mad ignorance to even suggest it.

Let's be honest with each other, you don't think Brianna Ghey's murderers should have been charged with a crime, do you? After all, you spend an awful lot of your time arguing that it was her fault for having a phone.

Fancy a walk?

oh grow up

BBC Under Attack: Pot and Kettle Special The new Private Eye is out now.

The day after this headline - “Southern Water apologises after 'one of the worst pollution spills ever'…”, we receive notification that our bill is going up. Again. And I imagine their management are seeing ridiculous raises and bonuses 😡

And today it's the turn of The Times to try and patronise us all. Every single day the right wing establishment tries to close ranks. And every day we are growing. Join.greenparty.org.uk

You don't need any percentage 2B a Scot. You just need to believe in our community, our kids and. We have the ability 2 send armies to cities and get welcomed back with open arms. "The Tartan Army."Know that a Scot influenced the modern world James Clark Maxwell. Stay enlighten Scotland, Voltaire

How many children died as a result of her actions…?

No shade on Joe, but it is notable how people who had deniability but were actively anti-trans have gone mask off like Emily Maitlis has here. Marina Hyde being this weeks other example. People notice:

Next year we will present our boldest manifesto to date, and credible plans to turn it into action. I want people in Scotland to feel the same optimism that many in New York have felt this week, writes Gillian Mackay ✍️ Read here: tinyurl.com/395y4r98

Age yourself with gaming

genuinely one of the worst people going. Utterly sociopathic how she put all her left wing beliefs on the shelf 5 minutes after getting elected and picked out a new, very reactionary set. Total grifter

I'm editing a new anthology of sci fi written by sex workers for @workinggirlspress.bsky.social. It's called Liquid Silver (after the club/brothel in Tank Girl) and I'm so excited to see what my SW babes are writing!

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

i just realized that 18 years ago this week i was undergoing radiation treatment for testicular cancer. seven months later, my first child was born. my annus horribilis was also my annus mirabilis.

If Esther Ghey was willing to say how she believes that this campaign would've stopped some children murdering her daughter I'm all ears. Instead, she seems to be focussed on Brianna's mental health. Her mental health did not kill her. The hate enabled and encouraged by a transphobic society did.

The lovely bluesky user who posted this at me did it to defend an "ally" who was joking about the hypothetical deaths of trans people in Gaza btw Sorry for having standards lol

In light of the recent new arrivals to Bluesky, I've set up a second list. This is because I know from prior conversations that some of you want to keep up with posts from these bodies and others don't, so this seemed like the best way forward. Hopefully, this is helpful for you all.

Americans considering supporting Gavin Newsom should take one look at the UK under Keir Starmer, because that's what you're getting in a few years. You can choose a better candidate than a sleazy old transphobe.

This. is why. you don't fucking capitulate to these people.

LOL yes, everyone is just bricking it off socialist firebrand Wesley
