Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums. Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS. These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st). Forced medical detransition. This country is a danger to trans children & young people.

X the everything app has eschewed banking in favor of race riots and pogroms

by stripping trans children of their healthcare this government is already responsible for over 40 deaths of children. the tavistock clinic had a death count of... 0. the cass review is already 40+. this was never about concern for the safety of trans kids. it was always about eradication.

because the writing on the wall has been there for a long time. This is not about trans children, this is not even about trans people in general. This is about bodily autonomy and if you have the right to decide what happens with your body.

I hate the whole framing of the "putting trans kids on hormones" debate CIS KIDS ARE ON HORMONES TOO. They just came free with their puberty. It's the same hormones, as well. And if the kid is intersex in a way that means their body doesn't make sex hormones, guess what we do? PUT THEM ON HORMONES

I don’t hate many people at all but I loathe this woman with the passion of a thousand dying suns

and that's from 42k unique players. I keep telling people and I keep trying to leverage this for press attention but so far nobody's picked it up yet 😄

Hi @sarahowen.org.uk. My mum died from cancer at 66. Her mum died from breast cancer at a similar age. Please ask the chair of the EHRC in today’s Women and Equalities Committee why their code of practice gives me no right to breast cancer screenings.

Got into an argument on Sky a few weeks about about banning social media for teens. "But parents want it!" Sure, but that doesn't mean it will work or is a good idea! How about a serious conversation about what social media is doing to all of us, adults included? Or is that too difficult?

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

My hot take is that only Tumblr has figured out how to build a social network with an enduring culture and none of the other social medias are trying to copy it, and that's a mistake that will cost them.

We have expanded our Pee in Peace Program and are now distributing personal safety alarms as well as accessible toilet keys. One simple form to fill out, delivered to your door in ~7 days Free if you need them to be, but donations gratefully received. essehouse.co.uk/pee-in-peace...

Call me a loser but I still believe that unions, not podcasts, are the most viable vehicle for leftist organising.

Bridget Phillipson’s transphobic EHRC guidance as it is currently configured, will mean a lot of trans women dying because they will not be allowed to get breast cancer screening. Labour’s transphobic policies are literally trying to kill trans women.

City AM issues broadside against flood of AI slop being submitted by writers for its pages: "if you can’t be bothered to write it, why should anyone be bothered to read it?" www.cityam.com/there-should...

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

When did John Roberts move from the US Supreme Court to the UK? This ruling about the rights of disabled people is contrary to human rights law and common sense. www.mind.org.uk/news-campaig... And remember that the ‘supreme’ court really isn’t and that Parliament can legislate to correct it.

trans rights and women’s rights are not in opposition, they are in fact two fronts of the same war, and cis women should support trans folk not just because it’s the morally correct thing to do but also because an attack on trans folk is an attack on us

People will say it's "Tech Week" here in NYC. Well, any event run by Andreessen Horowitz is illegitimate, because the NYC tech community has values, and one of its most fundamental is its humanity. They have forfeited theirs.

‼️ Amnesty's new research exposes the anti-trans movement. They have a plan - first they're coming for trans rights and then for women's rights. We'll only defeat them by coming together.

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves

hope you enjoyed the equality act 2010 while it lasted folks

Labour seems to have internalised the Supreme Court judgment as though it was a damning referendum loss that saw the public reject its position, rather than a plainly incorrect reading of a single point of law

🚨Reminder that there's a NEW episode of Game Changer out tomorrow on Dropout...featuring the return of Paul Refereeno! 🤫

"I cancelled my Green membership once I found out they wanted to stand in elections!" is my new favourite kind of crank post.

its so funny people are still like "actually the economy is better than how it appears" and the average millennial retirement plan is to strap a bomb to your chest

Trans. Woman. Two words. "trans woman" shows that this is just a kind of woman, like tall, blonde or green-eyed. "Transwoman" has and will be used to say that we are a separate thing from women. Trans women are a kind of woman, pass it on.

I will say, First Light has one of the biggest guffaw moments I have had in a modern video game. People forget how much of Hitman was a comedy game and 007 carries that forward.

Holy shit, Rebellion have just dropped the entire Empire Earth franchise on Steam, didn't realise they'd bought it

I love when all the folk who moved to Britain from hot countries finally experience a British heat wave and suddenly Understand

Well, this sure as hell needs to be more widely known. "The Labour Party leadership has caused uproar by banning its councillors from doing local deals with the Green Party." This is forcing Labour councillors to do deals with Tories. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Samaritans Report a 40% increase in calls from the Trans Community since April 2025. I telephoned the Samaritans n 1969, in 1971, in 1974, and in 1978 I am still here because of those calls. Call the Samaritans, anytime for free any, from any phone, on 116 123 www.samaritans.org/news/samarit...

1. London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers. After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

Fuck The Guardian They can post all the poignant cartoons they want but they don't get to walk back their role on making trans lives worse in the UK

If someone wants to leak me a copy of this app (either .apk or .ipa), please reach out on Signal — my username is zackwhittaker.1337 — and I would be keen to run this app through Burp Suite to see how it works. Happy to grant anonymity.

If you’re cis and you’re asked to do this, resist it. If you’re cis and you see it happening, intervene. Disrupting this now seems to be around the idea of cis people being inconvenienced, to have any impact, so show them how annoyed and upset it makes you. It’s the least cis people can do.

People need to listen to @goodlawproject.org about the EHRC "guidance" not the media. The media is consistently and deliberately presenting it wrongly. They have an agenda remember. They want people to think they *have* to exclude us when they don't.

RE: new #Bluey episodes, a reminder that the reason Bandit (the dad) is an archaeologist is because dogs love digging up bones! However, Bluey’s creator Joe Brumm is also brother of renowned Stone Age expert, Professor Adam Brumm, who specialises in the earliest known cave art found in Indonesia…

It can be true both that the Statutory Guidance is less bad than the EHRC wanted it to be (in large part because of our case) and still terrible and unworkable: for trans people, for businesses trying to do their best, and for those who don't want to conform to patriarchal gender norms. /1

i just saw a stupid pop science video the other day about how human brains and sensory organs construct your reality and honestly im fuckin pissed. nothing is real. go nuts

if you're cis and you are asked by your management to police bathrooms, "can you confirm in writing that you are ordering me to approach customers to discuss their sex?" is an email no manager wants to reply to

I promised you THOUGHTS on Lars Wingefors' ongoing attempt to rewrite the fabric of reality and position himself as a Very Good Guy, actually. Here they are alongside a personal anecdote I've been waiting to talk about for YEARS:
