Parenting a trans kid is to fear that any moment the healthcare that keeps them happy, thriving, alive, might at any moment be taken away. The cruelty is the point.

Jesus Fucking Christ. Beautiful kids will end their lives. This is bleak beyond belief.

literally fuck anyone who doesn’t see at this point that it’s an organized nationwide effort to make trans people unemployable. every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

here’s the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, which is temporarily available in Canada you all know what to do

Every day, I walk my dog in the park and without fail the Willy Wagtail angry birb attacks my oblivious hound.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

For every one of his replies, I will patiently explain to one (1) friend, colleague, or compelling stranger how to turn off slop in Microsoft Office

a win against who?

Realise this is niche, but Australia's socials teens ban...

Harassment, 'untruthful' evidence, and 'unusual' legal questions. Our reporter Xander Elliards looks at nine points from the Sandie Peggie ruling that the rest of the media has left out

What. The fuck. This technically doesn't violate ToS. Okay. Fine. Who. THE FUCK. Being the head of something called trust and safety. Does something. Like this. We've got the best community I've ever seen come from a platform, and the most tone deaf arrogant bigot ghouls running it. Disgraceful.

this is sick and low, even by the subbasement standards of Aaron and Bluesky leadership

35 years ago today, 14 women went to bed thinking about their finals, future in STEM and the upcoming holiday season. They didn’t know that these dreams threatened a man’s sense of self worth and that they wouldn’t survive to see their goals and aspirations become a reality

Reporting from Politico: "Around £700,000…has been spent on ads set to run in the Telegraph, Times, Sun, Mail, Metro and iNews, featuring a 'letter to the nation' signed by Farage."

this is amazing news - the HPV vaccine promises to eliminate cervical cancer in countries where uptake is high.

the bbc changed their article from saying 'trans woman' to saying 'biological male who identifies as a woman'. even if you don't care about trans ppl it should alarm you just how captured the bbc has become. they will no longer even say 'trans woman'. that's not normal and shows massive bias.

My top five movie genres - everyone wears brown tweed and pearls - everyone wears tweed and pearls, but now there's a dead body - subtitles, cinematography, COSTumes, amazing score, paint drying plot - lady explorer-spies do action - woad, plaid and hair

The response to this story has been wonderful! Thanks to everyone who has read and shared it. And thanks also to all new subscribers!!

Autonomy is the basis of all feminism and autonomy is anti-racist, anti-colonial, anti-capitalist, and anti-state. Start from there Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Ladies, you do not need to get pregnant or become a tradwife. You need to unionize your workplace.

Please spread this far and wide & if you are in WA, please help look for Kendra! Kendra has been out alone since Friday am and her family is worried sick about her. She has no meds & is part of our community. Kendra recently shaved her head. Della is out looking for her now. Lets bring her home <3

Can we please call this what it is, r*pe of a child?

Congratulations to Lidia Morawska, the Aussie scientist who alerted the world to the airborne nature of COVID-19. Winner of the Prime Minister’s Prize for Science. I’ve learnt so much from being a (very minor) part of Lidia’s team. Brilliant, incisive, generous. www.industry.gov.au/publications...

A movie you have seen more than seven times with a gif.

Link's perma ban is wrong and should be reversed.

This couldn’t have happened without all the insanely hard working people at LGBTI Legal Service - you won’t see them mentioned much, but they made the legal challenge that led to this decision possible. They are the most under-funded org I have ever seen (yes, worse than the arts). Support them.

@jreylee.bsky.social Look what just arrived!

The world is so filled with beauty and wonder and I feel very strongly both that it should be a kinder place to live in and that it is within our power to make it as such

We’ve been saying this forever. The social media ban will harm kids

I am so concerned for LGBTIQA+ youth across Australia without supportive and affirming parents/caregivers. Those at private religious education facilities? It’ll be like going back to the 1980s for these kids. Where do they go? What limited choices will they think are before them? All avoidable.

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.

Glasgow Gender Clinic now has a waiting time of 224 years. The average across the UK is now 25 years. This segregated system isn’t working and is wasting millions. The NHS has been told time and again - informed consent now.

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

Hey, if you have spoons, could you take a quick second and just think of someone you adore on this app and then @ them with some love? Also, repost this so other folks see it. Or just copy and paste the text, I don’t care. This isn’t about me! Just love on some folks. I would appreciate it!

Lib Dem leader Davey: “The Government needs to block any future contracts with Tesla, and block Musk from being granted a license to supply energy to British homes “Ministers should make clear that if you are egging on violence on the streets of the UK, you are not someone we can do business with.”

Maybe start by not approving more fossil fuel projects.

The primary aim must be getting the govt off X. This offers the possibility of a cascade effect taking journalists etc off it. We need to seperate the national debate from the extremism engine.
