18 year olds don't remember this. they've never lived in a world with smartphones, which makes it pretty difficult to get this cognitive atrophy point across to undergrads

happy pride

The UK banning trans women from breast cancer screening gives the game away, they want trans people dead. It's social murder.

The UK is now in a position where if your drug a disabled person enough you can turn of their human rights as the silence becomes consent. You can then shove them in a closet to rot. This cannot be shouted about loud enough. www.mind.org.uk/news-campaig...

It appears the government won't be satisfied until it has hounded trans people out of society altogether. The Government are choosing every moment and mechanism they can to demonstrate they don't care about their lives. We have to draw the line. Reject the framework.

Seema Malhotra: "Most people have the common sense to step in when necessary, for example when a person of the opposite biological sex enters a single sex facility in error - and when to alert a member of staff." Labour now in the 'lets encourage vigilantes' stage of screwing trans people.

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

Its not discrimination to ban labour members from pride as long as you provide separate accommodation for them so like a pen in a muddy field somewhere far away just make sure you point em to their shame box “politely“

Guardian: This brutal new drama about the resurfacing of homophobia which is scary, and transphobia, which we agree with 😉

[men seeing literally any task] hmm. i don't wanna do that. a woman should do that.

I'm one of the signatories to this letter. We note that NHS England's ban on hormone therapy by under-18 was proposed: ● without any clear rationale, ● on the basis of a methodologically-flawed process, ● in the absence of peer review, ● and without plans for monitoring impact or mitigating harm

'women think and care more about society' i'm shocked, shocked i tell you

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

It's unbelievable how little understanding there is of this imminent reality.

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

rtd steps in it again. my goat is so washed 😩 unfortunately i can't say i'm surprised bc trans issues were handled so bizarrely in rtd2. he truly just Does Not Get It in some fundamental way and seems to have some strange mental model he thinks the audience shares. maybe too much GC contact

Does he have any friends who think homosexuality is wrong? Or does he only have friends who target *other* minorities?

Over 80 clinicians, researchers and academics have signed an open letter raising serious concerns about NHS England’s recent evidence reviews of gender affirming hormone treatment for trans youth. Read the full letter here: transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/05...

required reading. there were trans people who have known this the entire time and i've never faced such hostility from cis people when trying to tell them the facts. most of them didn't want to hear any of it. your concerns were not reasonable or fact based. it was a witch hunt.

i thought it might be some rando doing the urging, but no, it's a labour mp. how embarrassing.

For those who forget, a jury ruled that Trump raped E. Jean Carroll decades prior. Now that rapist is further punishing his victim. At what point do we start fighting for what's right and impeach and convict this piece of shit?

The population of Tyre, Lebanon is 70,000+ - and today, Israel forced every single one of them to evacuate. Ethnic cleansing.

Honestly, the cloying desperation to find a perfect definition that will exclude trans women from legible, legitimate womanhood has in and of itself demonstrated (almost as well as any materialist feminist can) that sex is social, mutable, and a regime of violent policing.

you had me at the dev of butterfly soup is making a new game

An example of a tool that levels up human cognitive performance is a type checker The first time you use a type checker you'll struggle for a bit against it, but once you internalize the type system you can reason much more clearly and more fluently about the code

since apparently JKR is spouting nonsense about "gametes" again, here is my in depth primer on why anti-trans groups have become so obsessed with gametes & why the actual science does not support their claims (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...

Wikimedia Foundation just fired a long time lead developer of MediaWiki as well as its entire community team for unionizing. If you’re a donor, email [email protected] to protest this move. medium.com/@jakeorlowit...

Joint response from @transactualuk.bsky.social, @scottishtrans.bsky.social and ourselves on whether the new EHRC guidance meets any of our basic tests. ❌ Unsurprisingly, it does not. This will be the defining struggle of the UK LGBTQ+ rights movement to undo. transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/05...

new witcher 3 expansion???? in 2027???!?! god i hope i still have my old save

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

They're always on the verge of "defeating" trans ideology and us trans people are always still here the next day regardless of anyone's ideology.

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

"Forty-nine votes were cast against the new rules, whilst only one vote was cast in their favour", yet still they went ahead with the ban. Clearly, women's opinions do not count!

I don’t think enough cis women appreciate how much all of this noise around ‘bathroom bans’ will affect us. (I also think it’s notable that after a chat between me, a cis woman and Steph, a trans woman, a correspondent text in to ask ‘why wasn’t there a woman in the conversation, for balance?’)

Notice how the papacy's good acts are all statements and the horrific ones are actual actions and policies with serious resources behind them? The Catholic Church has a massive healthcare network and inflicted a total trans care ban there last year. They're an enthusiastic part of trans genocide:

the fact that israel is straight up raping and torturing flotilla activists from all over the world and it’s not an international crisis it’s not putting a stop to anything, what is going ON

there are two things about the UK that even the most hardened anti-imperial marxist will suddenly become patriotic to defend. the second is the food. this one is discourse every week because whenever you bring it up it becomes a war. the first tho is a closed case: the BS 1363 Type G electric socket

i'm CACKLING. chuck is so quick with these

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.
