It exasperates me when people talk of things like banning under 16s from social media. It feels like people don't understand at all how the internet works, and how easy it is to get past these sorts of regulation. It will never solve the real problem, and only creates further frustration.

nýtt hjá IKEA: UGLBUNA skolhani

Krakkar, ég er að fara vera í Reykjavík síðdegis að tala um skolskálar. Ég hef fundið mína köllun í lífinu.

Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

Það mætti segja að þetta sé eitt mikilvægasta mál í tengslum við klósettmál sem ég hef opnað á. Fálkaorðan, einhver?

The fact people voted this senile meglomaniac twice tells you how utterly devoid of sense and reasoning people can be. He doesn’t even properly know the name of the country he’s wanting to invade.

"WE WILL NEVER BE SILENCED" anti-trans campaigners shout, while appearing on the front page of every single newspaper and interviewed on all major news platforms in the country repeatedly for the past 10 years. Pretty sure you have the wrong definition of 'silenced', but okay.

I'm confused. When did they stop?

I’m so happy Trump recognises you don’t own land because your ancestors landed a boat there at some point. That means he can give America back to its Native people. What a hero.

Ég hefði haldið að flokkurinn sem talar mest um að menningu og sjálfstæði íslensku þjóðarinnar sé ógnað af útlendingum myndi hafa hæðst þegar að sendiherra erlendrar þjóðar talar um að innlima Ísland og gera það að fylki annarar þjóðar.

“X is awash in AI-generated child sexual abuse material. Women users reported having their childhood pictures turned into nearly naked images by the bot, at the request of users.” The same people who call LGBT people “groomers” are enthusiastically enabling sexually degrading images of kids. Gross.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t think it’s ever acceptable to shoot and kill someone. Wild that this is controversial.

“The dangerous thing here is the idea that a President can just decide that a leader is not legitimate & then invade the country… If that were the case, that’s the end of international law, that’s the end of the UN charter, that’s the end of any kind of legal limits on the use of force.” So scary.

Whenever media say “end trans ideology,” they mean end the rights of trans people. Remember “gay ideology” referred to gay people marrying, having kids, not getting fired from work, showing affection in public without harassment (aka basic human rights). Transphobic rhetoric is recycled homophobia.

Labour supporters are the most homophobic and almost the most transphobic.

“Á tæpasta vaði” lol, elska íslenskar þýðingar stundum

Kona er kynferðislega misnotuð af karlmanni í æsku, og virkur í athugasemdum nær einhvernveginn að tengja það við trans fólk. Allt eðlilegt þar á bæ.

An important point to come out of the Sandie Peggie case is that 'gender critical' employees can't take matters into their own hands and confront trans employees. If they do that it is likely to be harassment/ bullying/ a hate incident.

The tribunal seemed very unimpressed by the fact that Peggie waited around to challenge Upton, and considered this an impermissible manifestation of her beliefs.

“We do not believe the EHRC has provided satisfactory responses to questions around how they expect businesses to implement such stringent expectations.” Nearly 50 backbenchers have written to Peter Kyle warn about the EHRC’s upcoming guidance: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

"Because here’s the truth: this so-called ‘bathroom ban’ won’t protect anyone. It will only breed suspicion, hostility, and humiliation. And all of it could have been avoided if the people in power had chosen empathy over ideology."

“Everyday activities like going to a public bathroom or going swimming with your friends has suddenly become an area riddled with anxiety, uncertainty and risk.” @uglastefania.bsky.social reminds us how the British government is making public spaces hostile to trans and gender non-conforming folks.

Samstaða á tímum bakslags í mannréttindabaráttu hefur aldrei verið mikilvægari. En hvernig sýnum við samstöðu? Og hvernig getum við snúið þróuninni við? Ég og Sóley ætlum að bjóða upp á skemmtilega og gagnlega vinnustofu 20. október næstkomandi. Skráningarhlekkur fyrir neðan 👇

So yes, Brigitte Macron might win against Candace Owens – and I hope she does. But the smear has already done its work. The war on women’s identities grinds on, fuelled by spite and dehumanisation. And in that war, nobody is the winner.”

Það er eitthvað mjög lýsandi fyrir ástandið á Íslandi að einhverjir rugludallar séu farnir að nota samráðsgátt Alþingis eins og kommentakerfi í einhverjum álhattahóp á FB.

Reform rearing up their homophobia for the next election, I see. Transphobia seems to work, so why not? This would be comical if it wasn’t so dangerous, and clearly an attempt to undermine equal marriage and adoption rights.

Reporting a new Banksy mural which attacks the legal system for criminalizing protests against genocide, the BBC adds "the graffiti has been covered up and guarded". Thanks Dad.
