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.

Zelda has been sounding the alarm on the dangers of AI for YEARS, long before the technology got to where it is now, because she's: 1) brilliant (go watch Lisa Frankenstein). 2) ridiculously smart. 3) experienced first-hand how fucking WEIRD people are about her Dad.

But really do not let this moment pass you up, call your reps and beat them over the head with evidence that ID verification will lead to uncontrollable sensitive information leaks and identity theft

Hey white people! All that smoke you had for Disney and ABC and shit? Send that same smoke to the Black folks who lost their jobs for the same damn reason.

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

ESTO.

I'll say, our government is inept, useless, and out of touch. But this is at least something, and something is better than nothing. I've done my part and stuck my name on the petition to parliament, which took about 30 seconds. You should too if you're sick of these self appointed content censors.

We've come so close, but today I've received my 5 day eviction notice. I have 5 days to come up with the remaining 46% or I will be homeless. I am going to to stream as much as my disability allows during this period to raise the money I need so I don't end up homeless. ♥ ko-fi.com/nyantiedoozi...

Rowling is absolutely one of, if not the BIGGEST reason transphobia is at its most rampant in 2025. Find other stories. Find BETTER stories.

ko-fi.com/mxkai/goal?g=0 weeee, anything you can give is deeply appreciated, when i have internet, you'll get a thank you sketch; let me know what you'd like!

I’m doing research for a story I want to write about Rusty, does anyone know of any stories of Midlander’s early days on the TR? Looking for inspiration

The time is now. Right now. Time for literally all of us to push back against fascism. You don't have to and literally can't do EVERYTHING. Don't worry about that! Just pick the one or two issues/things you know and care about and join the people who are doing practical things to help.

Everyone is rushing to defend Graham Linehan as some martyr to free speech but don't actually state what he tweeted. He explicitly called for people to violently assault trans women in the bathroom. In another instance, he cyberstalked a trans minor. He's legitimately a danger to trans people.

If you're Canadian, please sign this! You'll have to confirm your signature via email but for good reason--this is a petition sponsored by an actual member of parliament. These petitions can lead to actual meaningful action here. Doesn't take very long, please add your support!!

"Live and let live" is a perfectly valid attitude until some folks' idea of living involves the removal of people's rights and opportunities and, well, lives.

Transphobes would have a lot less reach on here if everyone stopped arguing with them and quoting their posts to dunk on them, they don't give a rat's ass about your arguments and enjoy wasting your time.

🚨🧵🚨 This is definite genocidal rhetoric, not to fear monger. We must take action NOW for we stand with help Trans People! Please make calls demanding this transphobia be combated RIGHT NOW. Our Civil Rights are at HIGH stakes. #TransPeopleWillAlwaysExist 🏳️‍⚧️ #TransRightsAreHumanRights 🏳️‍⚧️

Everybody calling payment processors and raising a stink about this, you're doing amazing, and I'm proud of you.

We need to start speaking up- no- YELLING to support and defend trans people. If you're in the USA, call your legislators. Literally email and call your representatives. Cis people have the loudest voices right now and those voices MUST be used to protect trans people.

Whelp. Should have known this was coming. There's no true thought I could say on the matter without being arrested in seconds. So I only ask this: Everyone stay safe out there.

This is a really, really, good letter. Absolutely *destroys* the transphobes without ever once using rude, aggressive, or other language that could cause handwringing.

Railway Series modellers, please show me your layouts! I could do with some feelgood content to improve my headspace a bit. Bonus if you have videos of running sessions. Would also appreciate tagging/pointing me in the direction of other RWS modellers, if you know some 🙂 #TheRailwaySeries

To summarize -waves are not seasonal -vaccines are waning -people are getting long covid -it’s still not an endemic disease -very young kids are at increased risk because they didn’t go through the initial vaccine series Oh and it turns out, Covid Cautious people have been right the whole time.

The UK is about to ban access to Wikipedia, just remember this bill was originally pitched as a means to protect kids from accessing porn.

"But I don't share porn or look at porn or make anything pornographic so it won't affect me" Until they decide something you DO make or consume is "obscene" and they go after that too. Namely literally ANY queer content... also, looking at you Entire Furry Fandom. We should ALL be angry about this

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

Hey, so, TOTALLY not suggesting that RFK Jr. BACKS DOWN when we PUSH BACK, BUT if you’d like to call… HHS Toll-Free: 1-877-696-6775 HHS Direct Line: 202-690-7000 PLEASE share and consider calling your senators and representatives as well. NONE of this is okay. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hi all! So over the past month and after Awdry, I've come to a decision. I'm reopening the ValveGearStudios KoFi... After a rather eye opening experience at the current household I live in, it has become very clear it is not a good idea for me to live here anymore. ko-fi.com/valvegearstu...

Hey Folks! Ash speaking to you as always. Here's my new and updated comm sheet for late 2025 now featuring ACRYLIC SERVICES !!! Please DM me if interested or have any questions!

Wanted to try Acrylic painting for a change so I painted the cover artwork for the album "Escape" by #Journey released in 1981. #80s

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab. Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls. If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.

the UK’s Internet age verification law has led to the effective censorship of all LGBT content on Reddit what a shocking and unexpected turn of events!

Here you go UK folks, if you haven't already signed this feel free! There isn't a single part of the country that doesn't have at least a signature. If you also wish to you can email your local MP about this. Gonna do what the Brits are good at and complain. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

Good! Because it isn't.

This is your one-stop post for all the essential Awdry Extravaganza info! The BOOKING OFFICE at Wharf opens at 8am for 'Explorer Ticket' collection - If you are booked in the 9am Exhibition Slot you do NOT need to queue here, please go straight to the Museum.

A massive thank you to everyone who has supported us with our new documentary project ! In case you missed it. Here's a thread of what we've been up to. Please consider taking a look at what we're making and sharing with others who may be interested....

Midterms won't save you. Polititans won't save you. Your community will. And making that network as big as possible. It's not impossible if it's unavoidable. The only way out is through and together.

Asking one last time (please don’t just like the post that doesn’t help anyone) does anyone have a ticket for the Friday photo charter they’d be interested in swapping for a Sunday one?

"Down by the cut", a drawing heavily inspired by an old canal basin near where I once lived. Maybe I'm feeling a bit homesick for a sight I'm too young to remember, or getting wistful over a railway most have long since forgotten, but it's one I wanted to capture in some form.

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

Re-upping this because neither this administration, nor the Supreme Court can be counted on.

Seen this going around but I’m Reposting it with the full alt text bc everyone deserves to read this glorious reply from Boy George

How ironic considering his character was also a sniveling coward who stood for nothing.

Reminder: Actors are still on strike for bare minimum guard rails on the use of AI in videogames and we have been for 11 months. We have struck longer and with less resources than our on-camera colleagues.

This Pride month, don’t forget about the trans and gnc activists who made this happen. People like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson, whose leadership at Stonewall has now been stricken from all government websites by a Trump administration that wants us erased from history.

I am once again asking everyone not to affiliate Kings Cross and UK steam trains with Harry Potter

I feel like most of my followers know this but because I see a lot of cis folks who have a specific blind spot for it: This includes the theme park. I don't care if you want Butterbeer or want to get a wand or are already there so why not just walk in. It's all Her. Everything with the name is Her.

Williamson’s Tunnels and the heritage centre were obviously a massive part/influence for our Flux series of Doctor Who. Would be amazing if the Who community shared this appeal widely and/or were able to help before this looming deadline. See below and please RT!

Having to ask homeowners for permission to take things out of their houses would kill the theft industry.
