Memorial to the killing of Hind Rajab currently in Edinburgh. After they shot her family, they also killed the paramedics who arrived on the scene to help her. www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/...

amc has awakened the Armand Centres of my brain by posting five seconds of him standing there and now i dont know what to do with myself

Why’s she being kicked out for saying something that is objectively true? That the man is a liar is verifiable fact, with scores of examples to back up such a statement.

im gonna have cake. snake's cake 🐍🎂

11.30 is def lunchtime. shut up

I think when Kezia Dugdale gets her face eaten by leopards she is more likely to spend her last moments scolding the lambs for not distancing themselves enough from her rather than actually defend herself.

There needs to be forthright condemnation of Stonewall's new chair'svsucking up to Rowling from her predecessors and a majority of the organisation's leading figures. This betrayal of trans people is utterly unforgivable cowardice.

the problem with listening to dead letter office by rem is now i have their version of femme fatale stuck in my head

i hope you all know what it is tomoro. yep thats right its the feast of wadjet!!!

had a disconcertingly small nap earlier and now im confused there arent more posts to read, what do you mean im caught up on all my feeds already

look at my advocacy group dog im going to the camps

The Labour right are victorian do-gooders through and through. Also 'porn' includes any films you might make with your partner so this is just incredible levels of state overreach based entirely on things that make them feel yucky.

things are moving forward on the whole having a flat to live in thing. which i am slightly ambivalent about bc im me but i guess at least things are happening

'Asked about JK Rowling’s opposition to trans rights, Dugdale said: “I have a huge respect for JK Rowling."' Yeah no you can fuck off actually Kezia. You and Rowling both.

been listening to dead letter office. a must!

good morning lets see how long i last today before crippling depression sets in

yes im sure this is the appropriate way to address mandelson being implicated in the epstein files etc. very serious outlet the bbc, not at all a deeply corrupt clown car

well i wanted black licorice but ok ill take it!

oh god. i sympathise bc i also am so used to gay necromancers at this point 😭

The statistic that I think wipes away all the hasbara, genocidal bullshit is this: IDF killed more people in the WEEK following October 7 than Hamas had between 1987 and October 2023

UK public urges Liz Kendall to do one

a squid eating dough in a polyetheylene bag is fast and bulbous got me?

in the same way there's no point cleaning our air, protecting ourselves or our loved ones, taking action against the constant destruction of workers rights, human rights, safety standards, the environment. why bother, better things aren't possible: a radical nihilist manifesto

'marriage and capitalism' def belong in the same category yep. all makes sense

It’s illustrative to recognise when the Guardian uses the word investment (straightforward handing over cash to the private sector) and when it uses spending (welfare, public sector wages)

today i mostly slept then sat and stared for hours and hours. might finally eat lunch at 3.30 am i guess. things are not going well

as well as the transphobic shite, and the inescapable comparison to "separate but equal" racial segregation unless the ward doesn't allow male staff (which they ALL DO), it *is not* a "single sex space" under any definition. this is true for mental health wards too, as well as prisons.

The war we're definitely not involved with is going to be used as an excuse to cut benefits further because of course it fucking is.

Imagine if he died now while Bluesky is fucked

help i cant exist without my mutuals feed

As with yesterday’s lurid BBC allegations about people falsely claiming to be gay, the problem isn’t whether possible fraud ought to be investigated but the complete paucity of evidence that this is a major issue, in comparison to the up-to-11 volume given to it by our national broadcaster 8/

So this is genuinely the extent of the BBC’s front-page “investigation”: they spoke to one alleged crook and recorded him boasting, one victim of apparently unrelated abuse, one non-immigration lawyer who “thinks” there’s a problem, and Jess Phillips. It’d be laughable if it weren’t so serious 7/

Call me a pedant but I really think if BBC is going to make this inflammatory stuff headline news for two days (and counting) they ought to have a bit more evidence than this, and since they don’t you have to wonder what the purpose is of trumpeting it all over the place 5/

It’s genuinely staggering how little substance there is to today’s instalment of the BBC’s attempt to create a national crisis out of a few unproven allegations of immigration fraud 1/

1. people reflexively blame AI for problems because it's obviously harmful in many domains 2. Bluesky (now "entirely AI-coded" acc. to staff) keeps breaking 3. AI is blamed. Devs say no, it's web service issues, scold AI-blamers for their ignorance 4. devs admit it was actually AI code at fault lol

why is this website broken again

i am Not Happy but still alive after two really, really miserable days. i keep forcing myself to complain bc it does help even if its deeply awkward given i dont have that much to complain about in any real sense. the inside of my head is still trying to kill me anyway.

Oh look, an obvious and predictable outcome!

this is genuinely fucking revolting

Hungary's new prime minister-elect, Peter Magyar, has had a “warm” conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and invited him to visit in spite of an international warrant for his arrest for war crimes and crimes against humanity. jrnl.ie/7014040

thank god for hyperfixations providing a reason to stay alive tbh

Obviously there's a lot more going on and much bigger issues with transphobia but a part of it is people encountering the mildest philosophical problem, realising things aren't nearly as clear cut and obvious as they thought and absolutely losing their shit.

pray for me, i have more impending horrors today

Jeez. Labour MP’s have just voted to give police unprecedented powers to ban recurring protests turning a fundamental freedom into a privilege granted by the state. No protest movement has ever brought about change through one single march or action. How did it come to this?

Always worth remembering that there were at least two instances of the BBC """accidentally""" editing footage to make Boris Johnson look better during the 2019 general election and the British Establishment then and now thought this was completely fine and good. Even people who "hate" Johnson.

being constantly misgendered and deadnamed by family members starting to get genuinely depressing. way beyond the 'theyre just forgetting and doing it by mistake' phase

I urge men to look within themselves and examine the urge to immediately, instinctively contradict anything a woman says. you don't have to do this. it is not charming. (this post brought to you by the like seventeen men who rushed into my mentions to tell me pangolins caused the pandemic)

Anyone who knows immigration bureaucracy will know that people who seek asylum because they are gay undergo hostile and humiliating scrutiny. Media reports that suggest people “pretend to be gay because it’s an easy route for a visa” are missing the glaring fact there is no “easy” way to get asylum.

The BBC, the
