Tired: Trans Day of Visibility Wired: Trans Day of Vengeance

#Wordle 1761 4/6 ⬛⬛⬛🟨🟨 : 104 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ : 11 ⬛🟨⬛🟨⬛ : 1 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 (58.7%) Only two known letters from the first two guesses, so I needed a good eliminator on turn 3.

The BBC have found a way to spin a story about dishonest lawyers into a "Der Stürmer"-style piece whipping up hate against vulnerable people in intersecting minorities. This is unacceptable behaviour, and someone needs to be called to account.

That's true and a good point. I think it's important not to underestimate the chilling effect, though. Trans people with enough confidence will just ignore it. Many will experience social isolation and worse, though. We're not all equally strong.

There's a song playing on the wireless right now that used to get played a lot on Graham Torrington's "Late Night Love" show.

Poland and Hungary threw out their dictators, our turn NOW!!!

A young child's willpower is stronger than hunger when it comes to not eating certain foods, and a young child's jaws are strong enough to sever the fingers of an adult trying to force-feed them. #JustSayin

My body was more irreversibly damaged by going through the wrong puberty than taking HRT could ever do

#Wordle 1759 4/6 ⬛⬛⬛🟨🟨 : 104 ⬛⬛🟨⬛🟨 : 5 🟨⬛🟨⬛⬛ : 1 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Among 56.8% Glad I used an elimination word on turn 3, 'cause the answer wasn't the word I would have guessed!

Don't want negative attention for selling slop? Don't sell slop.

If someone is prepared to violate one of your personal boundaries, which *other* personal boundaries might they be prepared to violate?

Maybe the reason why there are so many potholes isn't because the council aren't doing their job, but because so many of you selfish pricks are driving round in 3 ton SUVs

Today I'm reporting live updates from the @guidersfortrans.bsky.social Edinburgh demo for @whatthetrans.com . The demo opposes the Girl Guides exclusion of trans girls and trans women. Updates will appear on my Bluesky page. Stay tuned! 🏳️‍⚧️

Every time I see a man wearing a tie, it reminds me of my childhood abuse.

Why do they call it Romaine lettuce and not Big Gem?

#Wordle 1678: 4/6 ⬛🟨🟨⬛⬛ : 52 ⬛🟨⬛🟨⬛ : 6 ⬛⬛🟨⬛🟨 : 1 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 (among 39.8%) It was worth repeating a letter on turn 3, to eliminate words and get some positional knowledge.

Israel is carrying out Genocide in Lebanon in order to ethnically cleanse it like Gaza. It is time for the world to take action against Israel.

Reform is the opposite of Trigger's broom. He claimed it was the same old broom despite having a succession of new heads and handles. Reform is made up of a succession of the same old tories. But they claim it's a brand new party.

A member of the government comes clean. The idea Starmer has ‘kept Britain out of this illegal war’ has been a lie.

If you’ve ever felt that the public conversation doesn’t reflect your views as a woman, this is your opportunity to be counted. You can add your name safely and confidentially, and stand alongside 98,000 other women doing the same.

Our letter - Not In Our Name: Women in support of the trans+ community is about reclaiming that narrative. It’s about making visible the many women who believe in fairness and inclusion, and who refuse to be spoken for by a loud minority.

NION Women brings together a diverse coalition of women, of different ages, backgrounds, professions, faiths, and lived experiences. Some are public figures, many are not, but all of us are united in saying that women’s voices must not be used to justify harm against trans+ people.

We’re proud to include voices like @natashadevon.bsky.social MBE - journalist, campaigner, and long-time advocate for women and young people - in our growing movement of women speaking out in support of the trans+ community

The French had the right idea about how to decline compulsory military service.

Apparently there are new articles popping up shaming people about not having kids. I cant speak for all parents but most of us either A. Don't care thats none of our business or B. 100% support someone's decision to not have children. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a vile POS and their opinion is to

Ofcom claims there is no consensus to ban Nigel Farage from Presenting on GB News. Lets show them one.

Is it better to use a hacksaw or a wood saw on plastic decking edging strip?

Can we please have a law making it illegal for retailers to increase prices while customers are (literally or metaphorically) present on the sales floor? That is to say, the shelf-edge price seen by a customer when they first entered the store must be honoured by the time they reach the till.

As [an electricity supplier] we have no control over [people using appliances on batteries].

Every country that drives on the left uses kilometres, except the UK. Now we are no longer in the EU, we could change our road signs to kilometres and choose from cars meant for markets such as Australia, New Zealand, Japan, India and Thailand.

Our beautiful countryside.

If you are required BY LAW to send your child to PUBLIC SCHOOL then lunch should be FREE. Yes, I am aware I will pay for it with my taxes. Yes, I am fine with this.

If a company commits a crime, shareholders should be liable to prosecution, to the fullest extent of the law without regard to the value of their shareholding -- with the option to forfeit their shares and go free. Make the rich afraid again!

Reckon I called it. Israel is openly, happily violating the "ceasefire" (as far as the Zionist thugs are concerned, they aren't under any obligation to cease anything), and Iran is not happy.

Fuck Israel. Fuck Netanyahu. And if you support either, fuck you too.

If I were Minister for IT, one of the first laws I would pass would require every user of a service capable of delivering advertisements to see *the same* advertisements, demonstrably independent of who they were -- and also require clean severability of advertisements from editorial content.

jane clare jones, kathleen stock, andy lewis, emma hilton... every fucking left and centre-left transphobe who helped make this happen: we will remember what you did and we won't let it be forgotten. you'll go down in history as the scum fascist collaborators that you are.

Trump's verbal statement about a ceasefire is not worth the paper it's printed on. I fully expect Netanyahu not to honour it. And probably enough to exceed someone's restraint; which Trump will see as an excuse to resume bombing.

It's a legal requirement for all shelf-edge prices to include all taxes, charges &c. It should also be a legal requirement for all wages to be advertised after all taxes have been deducted. Or, just don't tax income earned through labour at all; tax the wages paid by employers instead.

Someone needs to develop a truly machine-independent OS that runs user programs on a low-level virtual machine implemented directly in or adjacent to the kernel, and does not allow users to run any native code at all (à la TI99-4A).

I'm wearing something even better than a cute cotton summer dress: A cute cotton summer dress **with pockets**!

#Wordle 1754 3/6 ⬛⬛⬛🟨🟨 : 104 🟨⬛🟨⬛🟨 : 1 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 (Among 26.4%) Not just five yellows from two guesses, but a positional clue knocking out a possible anagram. Nice!

"It is not hope. It is the specific exhaustion of people who have been denied hope for so long that the mere postponement of catastrophe registers as reprieve. We celebrated nothing. We simply exhaled."

Arrived in town to the sound of pfireworks going off! Thought Trump was dead, but turns out it was just a wedding.

FIFTH THOUGHT OF THE DAY… When Americans state that their second amendment is there to protect them against tyranny… That is and always was a lie 🤥 Tyranny arrived and they did fuck all‼️
