I hate living through Thatcher's twelfth term.

Don’t post the AI pics man.

Turns out autistic people can hypocritical arseholes too

Are autistic people ‘just making it up’? In a recent podcast conversation, I was asked a question that carried a striking implication: What if increasing numbers of people identifying as autistic are just not coping? 🧵 1/11 #Autism #Neurodivergent #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD

March is now outside 10 Downing Street

Why do I get the impression that the war economy here will mean "more austerity, but this time it's unpatriotic to be against it"?

I don't think I ever posted this here, but last year GB News saw one of my infographics and asked me to appear on the show. I made my answer extremely clear: NO.

Fascism is a series of ever decreasing “in” groups defined by their hatred of the “out” groups:

Posting fake photos is unhelpful when she’s claiming that real photos are fake.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

For PhD students and postdocs interested in medieval charters, this "doctoral school" in Toledo in October looks like a magnificent opportunity diploma.hypotheses.org/562. Applications closing soon:

The most fucked up part of the continuing embrace of the Cass Review is that the U.K. government has NOT ONCE acknowledged the NUMEROUS academic papers decrying its abysmal 'research' They have their magic consent paper to do whatever torture they desire.

I'm fed up, people see their lives torn apart because of the actions of Starmer.

Games like darts, billiards, bowling and chess completely give away what's going on. The ONLY reason to segregate these sports by sex in the first place is because men cannot emotionally handle losing to women. The ONLY reason to lock out trans people is bigotry.

I'm sharing something I think is beautiful Hildegard von Bingen's fiery life force

like I will die on the hill that there is basically no reason for the vast majority of sports/competitions to be gender-segregated in the first place and most only are due to misogyny, but nowhere is that more apparent when the competition is "games you play at the pub or in the park"

Sports and activities that trans women have been banned* from (not an exhaustive list) Angling Athletics Chess Cycling Darts Football Rugby Snooker Swimming *anyone replying with any variation of “trans women are men and can compete with men” gets an instantaneous block

Researchers from the University of the West of England want to know what helps or makes it difficult to access gender-affirming voice and communication therapy. Tell us about your experiences in a survey or interview: uwe.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... #TransResearch #ResearchSurvey

Just a heads up to my trans siblings Sky are doing a piece on the FWS Ruling and looking for someone to interview, the fact it's so short notice and they're all the way down the list to me suggests something's not right and I don't believe Sky have been at all balanced with trans people in the past.

#UK #TransRigths #NHS NHS is reforming its transitioning into adult healthcare...moving the age range for adolescents up to 25 years. Yeah, it's obvious where this is headed. www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/su...

Interesting how, when the BBC asks someone for their opinion on something motoring-related the first question is “are you a driver?” Contrast that with when the BBC asks someone their opinion on something about trans people.

There are no missiles raining down on Havana. But what I saw there was still warfare.

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

While killing dozens of people in Lebanon (MOPH says 112, civil defense counts 250+, until now), Israel still found time to kill another one of our colleagues in Gaza.

he still needs to be dragged out of office in chains btw. nothing has changed

* IRAN'S TASNIM NEWS AGENCY CITING UNNAMED SOURCE: IRAN WILL WITHDRAW FROM CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT IF ATTACK ON LEBANON CONTINUES @reuters.com

They've banned trans people from playing pool, darts, chess... Transphobes are gleefully supporting it, obviously, but at what point do people realise that they're just supporting the notion that women suck at everything?

This stuff is misogyny by the way. Even if you're targeting objectively bad people with it. Just don't.

Israel randomly started bombing Lebanon once the invasion of Iran started because they were like oh goody, here's our chance for expansion of our state through genocide. It had no relation to Iran whatsoever. Now they don't want to stop bombing Lebanon even though there's no good reason they began.

this goes hard as fuck

One thing I am really proud of recently is that Amnesty International used my writing for their Trans Day of Visibility post. Since I was a teenager I have followed Amnesty's human rights work and it's super amazing to me that they wanted to base their TDoV post off my work.

I genuinely can't stop thinking about the Iranian kids who spent yesterday wondering if they were all going to die and what that day will do to them for the rest of their lives.

Why are we still sending the King to meet a man who insisted just yesterday he would wage genocide on an entire civilisation?

In a world of madness, the faces of London’s first fire brigade have been discovered.Their identities have been paired with documents which help to tell their stories. Forgotten humans, salvaged from history’s silence. Photos found of London's first public firefighters www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Let’s recap what USraelis achieved INSIDE Iran. - Killed an 86 year old ass - killed the most plausible agents for transition to a more moderate system - given legitimacy to the IRGC - Left the most radical politicians in charge - weakened the people IRI could not have done it better itself!

I dont mean this as a dunk, but diplomacy is partly conducted in public. It's a fair criticism to say that the UK should have responded much louder to an ally threatening to do genocide, *even if it wouldn't have much of an effect in practice*, because the language of politics does matter.

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social is divisive. wes streeting is divisive. pat mcfadden is divisive. shabana mahmood is divisive. these are fundamentally unlikeable ppl doing monstrous things. the labour party does not exist anymore. these ppl hijacked it and turned it in to a far right party.

Get yourself along to these on Sunday. This likely only affects a handful of kids BUT what they are subjecting them to is just devastating. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️
