When I see those arguments about ‘annoying’ or ‘disruptive’ protests I’m reminded of the actions of many brave women who fought for the right to vote (& how it might have been different under this govt)

"Look, we all respect the right to protest, but you need to do it in a much more easily ignored and minimally effective way."

SHOCKING: Earth's first catastrophic climate tipping point has been reached, according to a new report. Coral reefs are now facing ‘widespread dieback’. How are we STILL burning fossil fuels and wrecking oceans while Earth’s life support systems collapse?

spent my entire day at school drawing god damn dinosaurs

if you're sick and spreading that via your face holes then yeah. you should probably work to prevent that getting all over other people. I don't get why this has ever been controversial.

A message for the Palestinian people: Your spirit, your determination has inspired so many people all over the world. And one day, you will not just free Palestine - you will free us all.

🚨 NEWS! Red Tractor ad banned for misleading environmental claims 🚨 A TV ad by the UK’s biggest farm assurance scheme has been banned after the @adstandards.bsky.social found “insufficient evidence” that Red Tractor farms met basic environmental standards. READ MORE: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It takes 5 minutes to Google the suffragettes and find out how it led to women's right to vote. And they think just stop oil is bad? In fact... I'll save them 5 mins. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffrag...

Name a protest movement, anywhere or at any time, that has achieved its goals without being annoying and obstructive. People like this enjoy the freedoms our political ancestors gained for them, while attacking the means by which they were achieved.

I give it about twenty minutes before thousands of creeps use this specifically and exclusively to create CSAM, and the feature is quietly rolled back.

“Protest is allowed, as long as it’s invisible, transient and useless. But the moment protest ceases to be effective is the moment democracy dies.” - @GeorgeMonbiot www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

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

israel has already broken the ceasefire

In her life, Marilyn Monroe was exploited and abused by so many men. Studio executives, so many people. After she died, men continued to exploit her for their pleasure: trying to get themselves buried near/above her. What your writer did here is obscene, nonconsensual and makes me feel slightly ill

So…..Starmer is moving to ban protests against genocide in order to root out the tiny contingent of antisemites who take part (reminder these marches also contain a large Jewish bloc/descendants of Holocaust survivors) but won’t ban future Unite the Kingdom rallies which are explicitly Islamophobic.

True

Israel has destroyed the "ceasefire" in hours. It is murdering Palestinians, and maintaining its illegal siege. Not a ceasefire. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/israel-des...

Yup, people will assume others are vaccinated, even though they've likely let their vaccines wane. Unfortunately the vaccines don't 100% stop transmission. I keep masking because I know we didn't improve indoor air enough. We need better filtration and air replacement everywhere

Honestly, so much of our struggles can be summed up this way, but we might make abled people ~uncomfortable~ and ~scared about the inevitable failure of their bodies~.

We can’t even have a hypothetical conversation about masking, because we have to spend our first god knows how many skeets giving caveats and reassuring people who have their own super valid and very important reasons they can’t that they’re not dicks.

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.

THIS. “The boys makes an off-handed offensive joke. The girls can speak up, getting the reputation as annoying…or they can let it pass & be regarded as a chill girl who isn’t angry or woke. Since Nov. 2024, the latter reaction has become far more common.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.” Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

‘96% of healthcare professionals said the model helps to reduce children’s anxiety, and 46% reported a lesser need to use sedation after the children played with the set.‘ ‘Lego doesn’t sell the sets and instead has donated more than 10,000 of the kits to hospitals around the world.’

Trump, speaking in the Israeli parliament, boasts about the weapons the U.S. has provided and says "you obviously used them very well." An estimated 20,000 children have died in the war in Gaza.

Pushing for a cease fire so you can look good in a genocide you specifically enabled, at the same time as you’re assaulting your own democracy & waging war on your own cities, is never going to get you a prize for peace. If there’s a prize for hypocrisy and narcissism though, you’ve got a real shot.

All because prescribing a patch or pill and occasionally checking bloods is supposedly beyond the competence of my entire GP surgery (although they'd do it happily if I weren't trans). Fucking joke of a system, a deliberately demeaning waste of time.

Going to get my NHS HRT renewal today. To do that I'll walk past my GP surgery, get on a train to glasgow, walk through the city centre, meet a pharmacist, get a train back, walk past my GP again, wait for the prescription to come by post, then take it to the pharmacy next to my GP.

Yes this is correct. And the Bell case significantly weakened the Gillick Competency, which is a British legal standard for underage patients to manage their own health care decisions. And it was first established for, you guessed it, teens to get abortions without parental approval.

To be clear, the average reading age in the UK is 9 years old.

“ceasefire”

If we’re to survive as a species, the rich can never be allowed near power again, which necessitates eliminating the rich as an available class of society. Or the biosphere burns as we watch. There seems to be a clearly preferable option here for most of us.

It's pretty depressing to me how many people - even on the left - still don't realize that modern states, borders, polices, prisons, etc. must be abolished. States have been so internalized that most leftists, feminists, poor people, etc cannot ever think about a society organized differently

happy #indigenouspeoplesday! dilophosaurus is a very recognisable dinosaur, and the part of the kayenta formation where the holotype is from is located on navajo land, with the first bones being found by a navajo man named jesse williams in 1940 (art by @dragonsofwales.bsky.social)

Alright, man. But a lot of us said this was happening at the time and got yelled at by people like Chris Jackson for not being sufficiently appreciative of Joe Biden's foreign policy genius.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

It's funny how banks have no problem with money if it comes from oppressing workers or destroying environments, but the line is: fraking adult games ☝️

Explain to me why “conversion therapy” is banned in 28 countries and ABA is not, when they have the same creator (O. Ivar Lovaas) and utilize similar if not identical principles, techniques, and goals (forced assimilation).

The far right rose to prominence on the back of Pepe, but now the left has discovered the power of frog magic and given itself a fighting chance.

Time magazine is owned by Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, who just came out as a Trump supporter and said it would be great if he sent the National Guard to invade San Francisco

Israel violates the ceasefire - and threatens more genocidal violence. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/israel-vio...

There is no case for Trump getting a peace prize—ever. There is s staggeringly ironclad case for him to be immediately imprisoned for war crimes. And here it is.

The thing you need to understand about the wealthy is that they don't just want some of the money. They want all of the money. the more money you have the more money you realise you dont yet have. it isn't really deeper than that
