sometimes i think maybe i'll get back into footie since none of the other sports i pay attention to are much of a thing in this country but i will literally never forgive preston for hiring ched evans so idk who i would even throw my weight behind

I've spent years working towards a ban on conversion practices, hoping to see a bill published. Today, I just feel so profoundly sad. As many others have noted, the draft has a carve out for "healthcare" so broad it makes a mockery of the idea this is a 'ban'. 1/2 www.gov.uk/government/p...

Kinda awesome to make a bill advertised as “banning conversion therapy” when it actually overtly lays out how to make your conversion practices legal

As expected the conversion therapy ban is doing its damnedest to ensure that the existing conversion practices carried out by the NHS and religious groups on trans people remain legal and incur no consequences for the perpetrators.

if you've got a garden hose with a mister setting on the gun, i heartily recommend standing in the garden and misting yourself as if you're a lovely little plant

i've been catching up on the anne rice verse shows whilst also rewatching true blood and i am mixing up a lot of vampire lore

This was a little more than a show trial – and the lengthy sentences are abhorrent.

i'm re-watching true blood and i did not remember that if someone becomes a vampire when they're a virgin their hymen will repair and re-break every time they have sex 🙃🙃🙃

kevin and perry voice: all i wanna do is do it (knit socks, knit socks)

finally took photos of the finished pair and i simply love these socks that i knit tbqh

Similarly, things need to be called what they are. Setting fire to a house knowing people are inside is attempted murder. It's not a protest a 'venting of rage' or 'incidents of violence' it's attempted murder and those egging it on online are inciting both racial hatred and murderous violence.

this is so absolutely monstrous i actually don't even know how to process it

A major component of the EHRC expecting “trans people to simply follow The Rules” is that it explicitly positions trans people as illegal transgressors by continuing our lives as we were

trans rights actually aren't extra rights they're just the same rights everybody else has that you're trying to take away from trans people. sorry you have trouble with this, but it means you're a bigot not that we're wrong.

another day another reminder that the Internet doesn't consider non binary people as trans at all

The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same. - Marjane Satrapi

People who have spent much time shop-talking about comics with me know I have a perennial gripe that not enough people in comics are trying to make an Opus. Too much trying to amuse the public or engaging current trends. My example of Who To Be was typically Marjane Satrapi. What a loss.

is there something going on with the air pressure today, my head feels like it's being squeezed

The reports into the grooming gangs in England found cops and officials paid little attention to them because nobody gives a fuck about kids in care with chaotic lives, but that didn’t prevent fifteen years of hysterical all-channels screaming about liberalism and multiculturalism as ethnic treason.

Seeing “you may not use facilities of your affirmed gender” in black and white really has me feeling an abject dread in my heart

It is also worth reading this joint statement from @mind.org.uk, @mencap.org.uk and @autisticsociety.bsky.social on the harm this ruling will cause through, as they so accurately put it, "The biggest rollback of disability rights in a generation". 8/ www.mencap.org.uk/press-releas...

We are in a period, not just in the UK, where human rights are under significant attack, mainly those of vulnerable and/or marginalised communities. We have a government which sees rights as an obstacle to their policies, rather than something to be respected, and minorities as disposable. 3/

is it any surprise i have retreated into severe agoraphobia when i'm a fat trans disabled person and my own government, along with bigots online, make it clear they wish people like me would simply ceast to exist

i just want to scream every second of every day

🚨DR UK's Statement on the EHRC's New Code of Practice "We are appalled at implications that an adequate workaround is trans people using Disabled toilets instead. We will not be used as a loophole in the wider erosion of trans rights." Full statement👇 www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/disabil...

can't wait for it to be at least five degrees less hot my friends and enemies

this mural in Margate station pointing out that tseliot is an anagram of toilets won a Margate civic society town pride award

this isn't just grammar pickiness or a stylistic preference. I have *seen* a politician say "they aren't the same as [real] women, thus 'transwomen'". it matters.

One thing cis people can do is completely shun transphobes from every area of their physical and online life

watching the soccer aid thing and i absolutely love that they're subtitling cantona, who is speaking english

bought myself a cooling pad since nina loves hers so much. had it less than an hour and apparently she loves mine too.

is the humble twister the best ice lolly of all time? imo yes

I can't believe how many politicians are saying "let's ban trans people from public life, but in a way that is respectful". Are you fucking thick? Who is this for?

cis ppl pls consider sending money to literally any trans ppl, whether it’s for ongoing healthcare, living costs, or just buying a nice coffee or something. it’s a hard day.

nobody here will be surprised to see that Burnham, presented with the prospect of the Big Boy Chair, is just as much of a total fucking cunt as any reform candidate you care to name

This is just open, naked transphobia. I simply hope the Labour party dies. It serves no purpose anymore. I don't believe hell exists which is fortunate because if it did every single one of you monsters would end up burning there for eternity alongside Maggie Thatcher.

@stillicides.bsky.social hello is it birthday?? Very birthday to you 🎁
