Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I don't hate the people of Israel, but when the government is encouraging the rape and slaughter of innocent people in an ongoing genocide, that's rape culture. That's a stain on the nation. ANY nation.

The UK once held an essentially first among equals position within the EU; all the benefits and few of the downsides. Got to keep their own money even! Now Australia is rooting them with hot beef injections. And they could undo Brexit and stop the bloody bleeding, but no! And it’s baffling.

Saw this on the other app and it is perfect! I think I'll adopt these, too! 😎 (Disclaimer: I will be adding the word "fucking" in there)

🎄 A late Christmas present! ⌚️ FT | 🎩 1-2 🔴

Bingo!

“The Levy Review is not a decimation of care as many feared. “It mostly recommends possibly useful ‘tinkering’, but ultimately calls for changes to a system set up by cisgender people that continues to fail transgender people.” www.wearequeeraf.com/levy-review-...

🥺💔 I miss bringing joy to mum with handmade pressies, giving dad silly moose-related things, mum's footsteps in the kitchen, dad's traditional Xmas dinner jokes. I miss them being around, I even miss them annoying the hell out of me. 1/

From all of us to all of you: A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ❤️✨

Oh but I thought they were just gonna come for us trannies. 😒

Rizzo has a sugar rush... #sweets #christmas

Ugh. Prisha, you're NOT the measuring stick for everyone else...!

I Norrbotten får man inte tro att man är nåt. Jag har alltid trott att jag är nåt. Kommer från en släkt som tror att de är nåt. Så det blev problem redan från start. Jag har alltid trott att mina ord behöver komma ut, att jag har något att säga. Därför har jag fått epitetet ”knepig” i Kiruna.

12 dead at a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.💔 A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice. Both Jewish & Muslim faiths teach that “to save one life is to save all humanity.” Let us hold fast to our humanity.❤️

🎼Flower whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air, dispel in glorious splendor gloom and grief everywhere True man yet very God, from sin and death he saves us, and lightens ev'ry load. #transinchurch

Not very seasonal but a mixed media Cambridge May Week scene which I think sold at an exhibition (I'm forever sorting out and tidying up all the hundreds of photos of paintings on usb hard drives) #art #mixedmedia

Another snow day❄️❄️❄️

One year today since mum passed away. 22 months since dad's death. That little girl in the picture is very lonely, in a way that can't be explained.

I can't stop thinking about it being just two days until it's been a year since my mum died. I'm feeling crap about a lot of things rn, and it isn't getting any easier. Mum & me, 1972.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: In a carpark, a woman (70s?) finishes packing groceries into the boot* of her car. She begins to take her trolley to the return when a passing man (20s?) in business casual offers to do it for her. He gets a cheerful, "Yes please!" in return. (1)

Susia ja karhuja metsästetään ihmisille vaarallisina. "Kymmenen vuoden aikana 17 henkilöä on menehtynyt Suomessa koiran hyökkäyksen tai pureman seurauksena." Suomessa susi on tappanut ihmisen viimeksi 1800-luvun lopussa. Viimeisin karhun aiheuttama ihmiskuolema tapahtui Ruokolahdella vuonna 1998.

No. Seriously. No.

Thank you to the lovely audience member at @hayfestival who shared that her daughter had once corrected her pronunciation of ‘epiphany’ and told her it should of course be ‘epi-fanny’. Which word have you royally mispronounced because you’d only ever seen it written down?

someone lend Dr Upton a yacht and a cigar because she could do the funniest thing ever rn

Lucka 9 i #Rimkalender Jag undrar ibland, för egen del bland julklappsstress och hets och spring; Livet kan va som ett flipperspel - vi studsar mellan lampor och pling. Vem får Highscore?

Ready for a gig... And screaming with enthusiasm - these earrings by @vorssaink are amazing!!! 😍

75% of Reform UK’s donations have come from just three rich men

Only just saw the news. RIP Colonel Cropper. 💔

When Streeting orders a review into a specific field of medicine, he chooses someone who is qualified, APART from transgender health care. In that field he chooses the people who have more to gain from ensuring the results will ruin trans lives ie GC advocates who have no experience. It's all rigged

My hours got cut some last week, if you could give anything spare that you have, it would be appreciated venmo.com/code?user_id...

If you can see this, any little bit will help

Very good resource! If only someone in the UK government would read it.

Ok, so you can call me a self-satisfied b-i-t-c-h, but I think 55 looks pretty good on me... Or maybe it's just the brilliant photography by @andy_q_woods! ❤️ #itsmylife #lovingthis #goodvibes (No alt text. Pics are just me posing by a tree and by the Aura river)

Ibland blir man bara extra glad över gratulationer... 💕

maybe i am going insane

Today is Trans Day Of Remembrance #TransLivesMatter #TDoR #TDoR2025 #TransDayOfRemembrance #TransAwarenessWeek #SayTheirNames *** Trigger warning for the following thread: Violence against trans people (especially TWOC) * * *

Tomorrow is #TransDayofRemembrance. For a while I thought I didn't have anything to say about it that I haven't already said but then I started thinking about why we do this and what it means. So here is a short essay about that. We say their names. #TDoR open.substack.com/pub/billieis...

Today is #LGBTQinSTEMDay 🌈 ESA proudly joins the STEM community in celebrating the unique contributions of LGBTQ+ individuals. The Pride Flag will fly across ESA sites as a reminder of how far we’ve come, and how much more there is to do. #SpaceForAll

Idag är det Uppsala kommun som väljer att göra dålig reklam för sig själva. De nekar Martin, 14 år, personlig assistans. Martin har cerebral pares, epilepsi och talsvårigheter, men kommunen menar att hans funktionsnedsättningar inte är permanenta. ->

Tupinambá-kansan edustaja kiteyttää alkuperäiskansan ongelmat yhteen lauseeseen: he eivät voi syödä rahaa. Ilmastonmuutoksen edetessä uskon tästä tulevan akuutti ongelma yhä suuremmalle joukolle ihmisiä – ja kenties lopulta jopa ultra-rikkaat havahtuvat. Mutta onko tuolloin jo liian myöhäistä?!

Went to an “antique books” show. Saw these book covers. Died. 🤣
