Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.

The Reform vote continues to stagnate. The Green vote continues to creep up. There is never zero hope.

HATE group challenges trans-inclusive WOMEN at Hampstead Heath, is what I believe you meant to say

#Top31DavidBowie #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying 24. Teenage Wildlife Scary Monsters 1980 So underrated. My favourite by far from Scary Monsters. youtu.be/1hIwB97p3r0?...

#Top31DavidBowie #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying 25. The Secret Life Of Arabia "Heroes" 1977 Closing track to probably my favourite Bowie LP. youtu.be/fYaZgEBEBzc?...

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying Better late than never. Let me introduce you to Lone aka Matt Cutler from Nottingham. I'm going to start with probably a good intro to him. Dreamy but upbeat (this is standard!) 15. Aurora Northern Quarter Reality Testing 2014 youtu.be/3GgpZ4BeT38?...

#Top31DavidBowie #NowPlaying #MusicChallenge 26. Slow Burn Heathen 2002 The Mercury Prize panel breathed a sigh of relief when Bowie finally released a "good enough" album to nominate. Jokes, but this was a banger of a song, following the sleepier ...Hours youtu.be/NSbZ8CmXyQ8?...

#Top31DavidBowie #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying 27. Red Sails Lodger 1979 My least favourite Berlin trilogy album hides this awesome track. A bit new-wavey, love the groove. RED SAILS! THUNDEROSA! youtu.be/9BR_6gX6FRc?...

#Top31DavidBowie #NowPlaying #MusicChallenge 28. Black Country Rock The Man Who Sold The World 1970 A) I'm from Wolverhampton. B) I love an insistent guitar riff. Its not a period of Bowie I visit too often, but I always look forward to this one! youtu.be/-c4Gj7XbrRQ?...

#Top31DavidBowie #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying 29. Wild Is The Wind Station To Station 1976 A sublime cover version. Maybe not the greatest one, but for me an incredible interpretation that fits wonderfully on Station To Station. youtu.be/YsqlXkkEKxI?...

#Top31DavidBowie 30. Right Young Americans 1975 The shift from the glam through the soulful lens to the Thin White Duke period was the more soulful YA, and this sweet but substantial ballad is a very underrated one I think. youtu.be/cAvYYnYY8ms?...

#Top31DavidBowie Ok, better late than never 31. God Knows I'm Good Space Oddity Obviously he went on to astonishing things, but his starting point was still very good, and this is my favourite from his early days. youtu.be/k409Tpjj6Fs?...

pals you gotta quit spotify

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.

Boycott Eurovision. Don’t compete in it. Don’t watch it. Just don’t. #BoycottEurovision

Once a symbol of unity and hope across Europe, the Eurovision Song Contest has been turned into a pink-washing front for war criminals in Israel. After today's decision, there must be a global boycott of Eurovision.

The political and media class are basically desperate for any evidence that it's the phones that have caused all of the problems, from why people hate the mainstream parties to mental health issues. All while they've clearly been radicalised in part by social media.

that isn't just racial profiling -- this sounds a lot like ethnic cleansing.

If you still don’t want to leave Spotify (despite the fact you can transfer your playlists to other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE), we ask you not to share your Spotify Wrapped this year.

With so much abuse from cis men still covered up , with so much misogyny rife , with anti trans activists starting to turn towards abortion rights - well done to all the bigots who decided relentless abuse of trans kids was the solution #translives

just for anyone who lost track; The inch bigots were given a decade ago has turned into several miles and my friends are suffering for it.

Rowling’s brand of bigotry will not stopped until trans people are excluded from all parts of public life. We need our allies to speak up, loudly

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions. It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying Bloc Party - Silent Alarm (10>1) Sometimes it do just be album 1, track 1. A clarion call, a piercing light through the landfill indie fog. Like Eating Glass aimed straight for the heart and showcased the band in 4 glorious mins. youtu.be/Mr0iLNXSiYE?...

#90sTop30 #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying 30. Ride - Vapour Trail Had to be... youtu.be/pVhNi5cU8mo?...

#90sTop30 #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying 29. Beth Orton - Stolen Car A real treat this one. Opening to one of my favourite albums from that year. Delicate like gossamer, and plaintive like piercing sunlight. Wonderful vocal performance and arrangement. youtu.be/uJ35dnfYKrQ?...

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying Bloc Party - Silent Alarm (10>1) 2. Plans Hard to put into words the emotional impact of this song. Bloc really tapped into a pathos and melancholy on this record which they never quite replicated... beautiful, upbeat, amazing. youtu.be/Ql9cJIsRzBs?...

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying Bloc Party - Silent Alarm (10>1) 3. So Here We Are The guitar riffs that start off like icicles. Slowly melted away by that waaarm bass line. And Kele telling us it will all be OK. In that red and black scarf. Memories. youtu.be/dzZQJZdcCU4?...

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying Bloc Party - Silent Alarm (10>1) 4. Helicopter Adrenaline rush personified. I was at this live performance. Just watched Neil Young, thought I'd missed Bloc Party. Turned the corner to see the end of Flux, then this. Lost my sh. youtu.be/b-WLmOgtTn4?...

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying Bloc Party - Silent Alarm (10>1) 5. Compliments Somedays its my #1. Unlike anything else on the record, the slow build, nod to the daily grind and all of life's horrendous necessities. It both understands and aims to rescue you. youtu.be/oKBqxoiiIVo?...

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying Bloc Party - Silent Alarm (10>1) 6. The Pioneers If ever you needed motivation, or reassurance that hope is not lost, this song will do it for you. Matt's drumming on this one is stellar, really makes the song. youtu.be/52jWkrfjakk?...

so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

#90sTop30 #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying 28. PJ Harvey - Sweeter Than Anything One of the all-time great b-sides. Peej absolutely defined the 90s, starting from raw blues to mournful electronic-informed rock. And was stunning the entire time. youtu.be/05WejON_P5M?...

Maybe they should consider changing the name of the party.. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#90sTop30 #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying 27. Deftones - Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away) The perfect blend of nu-metal, shoegaze, grunge. Deftones were always a cut above their contemporaries, whatever the genre. youtu.be/KvknOXGPzCQ?...

#90sTop30 #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying 26. Lamb - Cottonwool This song is just so, so good. I've seen it live and it was intense, beautiful and so smart. youtu.be/X3guUd73OvA?...

#90sTop30 #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying 25. Alice In Chains - Grind I've absolutely not included enough grunge on this list, but we gotta have some AiC... youtu.be/83gddxVpitc?...

#90sTop30 #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying 24. Massive Attack - Protection Had to get Tracey and Massive in somehow, so might as well save some space. Gorgeous, timeless song with a clever-as-hell video. It screams mid-90s, like the comfort blanket we al need. youtu.be/Epgo8ixX6Wo?...

youtu.be/VpZx4YPxwlU?... Doves - Words #NotYourFavourite

#90sTop30 #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying 23. Smashing Pumpkins - Silverfuck I was trying to avoid picking a Pumpkins song but I've probably watched this at least twice a week since the summer.. absolute annhilator of a song. youtu.be/dOjpDMz0D6w?...

#90sTop30 #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying 22. Bobby Brown - Two Can Play That Game (K-Klass mix) Timeless floorfiller and local radio staple. Will literally never tire of it. youtu.be/Ug6L0GiOev8?...

Raiding the Warm Homes Plan to find the money for a one-off cut to energy bills is utterly perverse when the Plan exists precisely to insulate homes & thus keep bills lower in perpetuity- this simply isn’t serious #budget2025

In the span of a hour, they stealth edited the article from trans woman to "biological male who identifies as a woman." The BBC isn't fit for purpose.

#90sTop30 #MusicChallenge #NowPlaying 21. My Bloody Valentine - i only said A behemoth. That is all. youtu.be/o8Iqy46aXuo?...
