“Why don’t women just go to the police then?” Virginia Giuffre literally had to kill herself to get heard.

The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes

If you were wondering how exactly trans rights violations are a wedge for all minorities: this right here.

I’m not sure the word “breaking” is in the correct place in this sentence.

Some of y'all need to rethink what "the good" is.

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

Melbourne: ever helpful

Folks, we need you (again ❤️‍🩹) Please do respond to this consultation on the plans for CYP gender services, if you possibly can. 🙏🙏🙏 The brilliant @tacc.org.uk have written a really helpful guide to help you respond (see posts below). Deadline is soon — 2nd November. Thank you ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Patriarchy says don’t wear that skirt or that shirt or that dress; don’t sleep with x number of men don’t be too sexy hide yourself past 45 don’t show shoulders thighs knees necks; Patriarchy says men can’t control themselves, women must do it for them- I say zip it up. #retroartprompt #poetry

But we also have a government that prefers to declare disabled people shirkers than admit they're allowing a disabling virus to infect the population over and over. To infect young people, who've had no protection, over and over. Then act nonplussed when physical and mental health disorders soar.

I know I say this an awful lot on the podcast but please, please, please email your MP before this atrocious, anti-trans guidance is laid in front of parliament.

If you think there’s been no good music released in the last 25 years, you’re listening to the wrong music. In fact, you’re probably almost exclusively listening to music released more than 25 years ago.

every adult should know how to craft something. i use that loosely: cook a meal, do a bit of DIY, sew a button, grow a plant. if there is nothing in this world that you can make yourself... why. what are you doing

EHRC anti-trans campaign loses its momentum - a week of absolute scenes has left the organisation in limbo. Here's what happened, why it happened, and what it all means iandunt.substack.com/p/frightened...

British.

15 penguins are trapped in the basement of @london_aquarium No sunlight. No fresh air. No deep water to dive in or swim freely. Just concrete walls and artificial lights. Sign the petition: Free the 15 penguins in underground captivity: 38d.gs/6uj4?utm_cam...

BACK IN PARLIAMENT TODAY: The Crime and Policing Bill. The Lords will soon be voting on plans to ban face coverings at protests. If passed, police will have the power to create ‘no mask zones’ at designated demos and arrest those who don’t comply. www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/the-uk...

Meanwhile, in the U.K., we’re trying to go backwards. It is NOT a zero sum game to give ALL of your citizens the right to define themselves as who they really are, despite the ‘Chicken Licken’ transphobes telling you the sky would fall in!

Join us for a free online session, on 30th Oct @ 2pm, to explore ways your organisation can be more inclusive – What is an intersectional approach and how can you do it on little to no budget? What does “accessible” really mean? Can we really include everyone? www.outsavvy.com/event/30908/...

Happy International Pronouns Day! My name is Mara and my pronouns are she/her. If you want to tag your profile with your pronouns, the thing I used to do it is @pronouns.diy

This is such vile shit. If they're doing this shit to famous white people, you know they're doing 1000x worse to Palestinians. (Which Thunberg herself points out, as well.)

The European Convention on Human Rights is being misrepresented in the UK, says former Supreme Court President Lady Hale👇 🔗 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home... via @the-independent.com “It seems so short-sighted. I’m sorry, I’m really, really worried about it.” #ECHR #OurRightsAndFreedoms

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

To give human rights only to those tyranny likes is to destroy their very purpose.

Maybe I should post this not at midnight. I still think it makes sense during the day.

I like this argument. I’ve suggested before that by the same reasoning, the use of Section 35 to block the Gender Recognition Bill (Scotland) should be automatically invalidated. After all - how can they block a bill for interfering with something they also claim it doesn’t affect?

Working on an idea for a Halloween show for the 31st, so I'm looking for any ideas, music and stories. If you have music that is horror-inspired or stories that you'd like to share, or if you have a favourite song that fits Halloween, please share. www.untidydownloads.com/halloween/

This article shows that the NHS has made a deliberate choice to subject trans people to a so-called healthcare programme that is not fit for the first quarter of the 21st Century. How do we know it’s deliberate? Because they knew ten years ago it was not fit for purpose, but did nothing about it.

There are countless cases just like this one, where trans kids are intentionally being denied care and support by the state. Supportive families of trans kids are being investigated by social services (the UK's anti-trans gestapo). It is genocide.

What about dignity Kiera? Can we have that too? Don’t we get both the thoughts and the prayers?

Our government is concerned about the “continued criminalisation” of LGBTQ+ people? If only there was some sort of organisation that could do something about it!

The government don’t care about artists or the games industry. Those are about humanity and bringing people pleasure. Labour are just interested into giving more wealth to AI tech bro. I’m starting to think their policies are designed to please Roko’s Basilisk.

Men like Piers Morgan have found women in trans women who it is socially acceptable to abuse. Every time they do this stuff they are telling you how they'd treat cis women if they could get away with it.

On National Coming Out Day we celebrate LGBTQ+ people who live their lives out and proud and those who made the coming out process easier for us. We also remember that coming out may not be safe for everyone and they are no less valid. #NationalComingOutDay #LGBT #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

So i wrote a little thing for @divamag.bsky.social to get everyone ready for the reopening of Parliament next week, and up to speed on the status of the imminent ‘trans bathroom ban’ (that also hurts cis women), and what you can do about it. 🚦Get your trans-ally engines ready…

The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves really matter. Especially right now when so many stories about us are not by us and are hateful distortions and lies. Now is your opportunity to shape the types of stories we develop for Year 3 of Trans+ History Week. Please share with your network.

Let’s talk about AI art. theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art

Musicians! #Musicians! My reserves are running low, so if you were thinking of submitting to Other People's Music, it's a great time! www.etherdiver.com/other-people... Free coverage of your music to an audience eager to hear independent music in a wide variety of genres!

If the AI industry can’t operate in a legal and moral way, let it die. Half a dozen tech bros who stupidly bet everything on industrialising plagiarism don’t really matter nearly as much as the people whose livelihoods they are trying to destroy.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

“Transgender issues are not the hill to die on” is an easy thing to say if you’re a person apparently happy for trans people to die, on a hill or otherwise.

Here is video footage of the man holding the magazine and his subsequent arrest for terrorism offences by a swarm of police officers near Kings Cross, London. The footage was captured by journalist, Betty Dempsey.

The UK’s various OFThing bodies exist to make it look like there is a regulator upholding standards. The only regulator that ever does anything is EHRC, and they do the exact opposite of what they are supposed to.
