Ladies toilet, Gentlemens Toilet, or Women's toilet, Men's toilet This isn't more inclusive language, this is just wrong language

Keir Starmer appoints Peter Mandelson as part of his re-re-re-re-set, after Peter Mandelson tells him he is actually a different person called Mandel Peterson, and Starmer doesn't ask any further quesions

Transphobia is the lodestone for modern fascism, which can be illustrated by the fact that the motivating factor in the English local elections seems to have been protected spaces for the biologically British

I don't know, I just—today I learned about halal vapes and I'm bemused but I don't feel any compulsion to do white nationalism about it

In a pub toilet in Belfast and a guy just dried his hands by shadow boxing.

Yesterday I confidently said I didn't believe Reform would win Bradford council. Today I'm less confident. Tomorrow I may well be wrong.

I would've thought the biggest challenge for "the two-party system" is that both the Conservatives and Labour are unelectable.

i thought this was the case it's nice to see that it is. the seat wins look scary but their vote is actually down.

So far, Reform have won fewer seats than Labour and the Tories have lost – there are progressive gains here

Depends on the soup – my heroin and rusty nails soup isn't brilliant for you

Maybe Labour and the Tories should try opposing Reform on substance, not just on manners, for a bit

apologies for the lack of a built executable on linux. we're recommending folks use @backups.kittens.fyi these days. it's a great tool!

In celebration of England's World Cup win, everyone's gender to be Hannah Botterman for one week

Hello @transrights.northsky.social, it feels good to be here. Just a patch note – migration process 10/10 dead simple, would migrate again; backup service unusable for me, maybe just old ass Ubuntu I dunno but in the end I just yolo'd it backupless, others may not feel comfortable doing that

Applying is not a guarantee for migration, but we want to prevent bluesky moderation from severing community bonds that have been built over months and years of activity. (ps. this takes time from processing our normal queue, so only apply if you really need it!)

Northsky Social exists due to Bluesky Trust & Safety's unequal enforcement of their guidelines and their targeting of the trans community, palestinian community, and more. If you're at risk of having your account banned due to this unequal enforcement, you can apply for immediate migration

Well, I don't feel any different, but if you're seeing this, it worked

If this goes wrong, it's been a blast and I'll find you again

To be fair, it's probably less tasteless than the alternative

Yes this: I would also add in the demolition of trans rights but I sadly suspect that doesn’t move as many dials electorally in terms of putting people off. (It has put me off big time even before the other rightward moves.)

They suspended @cara.city for this!!! Dogshit website run by absolute babies. It is a Serious Violation to point out that the head of trust and safety’s pants fell down and everyone saw his little red ass and laughed

"As you can see, Mr. Stanford, all four of your horse's hooves are off the ground in the second and third frames."

The real answer is that cis people assume destroying transmasculine identities and forcing us into women's spaces is "feminism", because they see transmascs as women, and co-opt everything we do successfully as a "girlboss" move while erasing us in the process.

*pounding fists on the table* RACE SCIENCE RACE SCIENCE RACE SCIENCE

We might be going OTT but the point is serious. It's tough for everyone at the moment, museums and cultural institutions are finding it particularly challenging. All we can do, if we are permitted is to keep sharing our histories and to hopefully bring some joy. Love you @romanpalace.bsky.social

It's also genuinely speaks to a bleak worldview where they believe everyone is a temporarily embarrassed racist, only holding back their real views for fear of cancellation by the mythical woke mob Imagine going through life believing so little of your fellow man

There's an article in The Telegraph about how pints have now reached £10 in London. a) OMG LONDON EXPENSIVE, THAT THERE LONDON EXPENSIVE? SHOCKED AM SHOCKED b) it's at the rooftop bar of a luxury hotel, calm the fuck down.

You don't actually talk to Jewish people about antisemitism because they may be activists and skew the results of what you want the outcome to be (it's the fault of phones in school)

The BBC have seen great success in the campaign to eradicate trans women from sport which they have supported, and now feel empowered to just say shit like this:

Go on then

The room's laughter was a collective "oh hang on. When you put it like this, it *is* ridiculous, isn't it?" and that right there is a powerful thing to encourage.

When this was read out it got laughter in the room. I think that's really important. That laughter undermines the five minutes the CTO talked about getting AI to summarise emails/write an executive summary. It undermines the whole thing. Exposing it for the charade it is *and uniting people in that*

Leeds Pride found hidden behind Bradford's bins, upside down, and drenched with rain.

Bad news folks, nobody knows where Leeds Pride's going to be, only that it's not Leeds

It's the fourth of May

Go back a bit further and get the Miller catch too – I swear the ball was behind her when she took it

Worth going back and watching the cracking Grewcock catch - this should take you straight there (at 6:53:05).

I need to share this photo of Mr Blobby in 90s Belfast that just came up on Facebook, mainly to affirm to myself that I'm not having some kind of an episode

what if plumbert & mr blobby kissed?

"Before you meet him, you should know he's kind of fruity—" "We don't use that language any more! If he's gay, just say so, I won't think less of—oh. Oh no."

May the third be with you

You never really forget how to misquote sayings. It’s like buying a bicycle.

May the second be with you
