GirlGuiding UK 'We don't want to be trans exclusionary' Girlguiding UK 'But we're gonna anyway, so sorry trans girls, guess it sucks to be you'

listen... people with girlfriends and boyfriends and theyfriends expand the kingdom of God... i thought you wanted to do numbers????

I dont care about the Polycule ... bring all They/Them down to the food giveaway

The parts of Christianity we've invested ENTIRELY too much time in Who going with who where do they "be" putting "it" who gets to preach the sermons which method of baptism How many ethically consenting and informed "boos" you running none of which make you a better Christian

The parts of Catholicism i like The bones the architecture the outfits the orders The gold cup

Between tearing babies from their parents' arms and traumatizing countless children, abandoning climate action and environmental protection, and loosing RFK on public health, the Trump Administration is engaging in quite a bit of child sacrifice. To their right-mania goals.

Funny it's only the EXECUTIVES who keep saying "AI" is inevitable and will be in everything. When it's developers, coders, writers, artists, independent creators, and smaller studios run by those people, they're somehow shockingly AGAINST using plagiarismbots that can't code, write, or draw.

The super rubbish thing about having a cyber stalker is I have so much NEWS that I want to shout out into the internet, because I am an adhd chaos goblin over-sharer, but for like safety reasons I can now only be like wierdly obscure, and is is, frankly, THE MOST ANNOYING THING

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with over 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed strong antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

I don’t have a new book to promote, but four of my former students have their first books coming out this academic year and, people, you are going to hear about them.

If you're interested, this tribute to Alice Wong was written by one of the people who knew her best www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Nooo, Alice Wong has died! Rest well, your magnificence lit the way for so many of us.

Those of you who have been praying for our little family recently - thank you so much. I'm very happy to say the intention we were asking for has come through! (I won't be more specific here because open Internet! But it's a good thing)

Hey I just met you And this is batshit But here's my number Call me fascist

really looking forward to the meltdowns from everyone who thought Daddy Trump would dress down the big bad socialist instead of hyping up his new best friend the Cool Mayor how do you not know how this guy works by now

'The First Trans Poem' with Amy Marvin is both magnificent and heart rending and hilarious

Holy shit, Go Bears!

No child should be gendered or named until they have chosen for themselves

It looks vulgar and cheap, with the structural integrity of Queenie's throne room in Blackadder 2. I bet you could throw Tim McInnerny through the doors and the whole thing would wobble

This may well be right, but I feel like the ongoing collapse of the state and the impending market meltdown will probably do that for Labour anyway? They're stuffed regardless, but this way they're taking everyone else down with them.

UK Health Secretary keeps taking donations linked to private health (& gave your NHS data to Palantir) The latest donations bring the total Streeting has accepted from private health-linked interests since 2015 up to £372,000 “What do those backers think they are getting for their money?"

See? It’s this easy, everyone 👏

I realize that this is part choir preaching/part shouting into the void but I desperately wish even "useful" LLM applications for software (like unit tests, stubbing out functions and structs) are just incredibly fraught and bring so many risks of difficult to ID bugs and technical debt.

Westminster Abbey (and Houses of Parliament) are actually built on an island IN the Thames and then we just built roads over the bit of water and then buildings on top of that and now the whole thing looks solid but god forbid the Thames Barrier fails

Im just not sure I know how to do a prime ministerial crisis which doesn’t revolve around vaguely ominous reports about the number of letters being sent to Graham Brady

In my experience if you leave enough queers to their own devices they will derail any conversation and it will somehow become more interesting.

“today i will go online & tell everyone i dated a teenager when i was already old enough to be her dad” is a helluva decision for this dude to make, especially with Jeffery Epstein in the news again rn

The term for this, is, I believe 'moral injury'

Blahaj is coming out of this pretty bag to wish you a good Trans Awareness Week. ✨🦈🏳️‍⚧️ #art #cuteart #transawarenessmonth

You don't HAVE to read Gender Trouble, by Judith Butler, but you should definitely listen to the people who have and know better than you. These statements are undeniable truths. Put it in the fucking Constitution!

Here it is, from @clairewillett.bsky.social

Do not shut up about Trans Club. Look at how the media retreats from even treating us as human beings in the face of coordinated bigotry.

This is exhausting. But telling. Whenever you hear someone attacking feminists, you should know they’re attacking women and they’re too chickenshit to admit they’re attacking women.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

The tendency to sanitize this violence by labeling it “pedophilia” is a way to imply that the sexual abuse of children is a biological necessity and an inevitable part of human nature. But it isn’t. Child sexual abuse is entirely preventable. We could live in a world without it.

This is your regular reminder that most men who sexually abuse children do not meet the clinical definition of a pedophile. They simply want to abuse their power and no one is more vulnerable to abuse than a child.

Side note: there's this tendency to Other pedophiles as inherent to particular unpopular castes like priests or billionaires, whereas really any opaque culture of empowered men and powerless kids, can produce it

'O Maryville' may be one of the greatest poems ever written.

Apparently, I should just have been reading more queer poetry

How absolutely fucking glorious is this stanza from C+nto Round One by Joelle Taylor Absolutely Fucking Glorious

You don’t have to feel sorry for religion or churches; most don’t deserve it. But there’s a prevailing theory that all churches operate financially at a level like a megachurch when the reality is that there are plenty of churches that rake in less than most small businesses, even without taxes

Three German universities offering post-docs for researchers "who cannot conduct or continue their work in the USA appropriately because of actual political pressure. " www.uni-konstanz.de/zukunftskoll...

If you're looking around thinking "if Trump & the Republicans cause enough suffering, there will be backlash & accountability," I would direct your attention to the UK. Hard to think of any country in history so clearly, demonstrably, theatrically fucked by a single party ... and yet.

The Oxford Mail has a headline tonight of 'Asylum Seekers to be house in historical Grade II Listed Cottage' And like, why the fuck is this a headline? HOUSE PEOPLE IN BUILDINGS THEY CAN TURN INTO HOMES, THIS IS NOT NEWS, IT IS JUST APPROPRIATE AND RIGHT

And when Keir 'Actually I'm a bit of a facist' Starmer thinks you're a bit too fashy, that's a bit damming really

Have I sailed as close as you are legally allowed to do to have a nose at the SS Montgomery? Of course. Moment I knew she existed, I was out there faster than Jay Hulme when he spots a rickety ladder in a church. Here she is:

No one will ever sum up Bari Weiss's career more succinctly than "what's the point of standards"

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.
