I've found that you can make people believe all manner of outlandish lies if you're the first person to show them a Möbius strip.

Well this was a lovely surprise @supersonicfest.bsky.social

If you know, you know

The piss tank on the ISS is now 36% full.

Always feels good to make a difference

Abhorrent as he is, I do wish people would stop mocking Graham Linehan for being divorced. Plenty of kind, decent people happen to be divorced. Helen Serafinowicz, for example.

Statement from Trans Safety Network on the Linehan arrest. TSN understand Linehan's tweet to be an unambiguous call for vigilante violence against trans women in toilets. And yet senior government figures and police have jumped to find a way to make excuses for it.

Catastrophic subtitling on the 1941 movie "Love on the Dole". (It should read "She's a strange lass, is our Sal"...)

This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”

So close

Alien³ isn't a perfect movie by any stretch, but you can't beat that final scene where the chestburster pops out of Ripley and does a thumbs up as they sink into the molten lead.

The *only* country surveyed where a majority of people disagreed. Backwards nation.

Consultation guidance for the EHRC guidance. Remember to submit your response as close to the deadline as you can!

As the world continues to try to stop us from existing, I find myself thinking of art that saves us. For its one year anniversary, I wrote about my own journey with I SAW THE TV GLOW and interviewed a number of trans people on the ways it impacted them.

UK now ranking alongside Russia and Hungary - tremendous work by the Labour party.

Hell is other people's music choices on the office stereo

I don't normally praise Doctor Who for realism, but in the latest episode they (**spoiler**) show the BBC platforming an alt-right conspiracy grifter like he's a credible individual, which is scarily believable.

Some good news from a UK court for a change: www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/issue/libert...

Well I voted, for what it's worth. I also sharpied FUCK LABOUR - TRANS RIGHTS on my ballot paper, for what that's worth too.

So it's election day in parts of England and if you're in one of those areas please do get out there and vote against Labour. Go for the LDs or the Greens or just spoil your ballot with "TRANS POWER" etc. In any case, pls remember to let your local Labour Party know why they've lost your vote.

I firmly believe that any overlap between being neurodivergent and being out as trans is largely explained by how we're better at seeing through bullshit social norms.

This will add further hurdles to an already cruelly drawn-out process, to prevent children accessing the care they need, all while using neurodiversity as a pretext for undermining Gillick competence. On the upside, a new hack just dropped for getting a faster autism/ADHD diagnosis for your kids.

Let's fucking go www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Important thread on the ways that (contrary to those who exceptionalise trans people's difficulties with it) the EHRC is systematically failing to address racism, disability, misogyny and so on. Knowledge of this should spur us to form a joint coalition of human rights defence on all these fronts.

So close to lucky number 237. Stupid phone camera wouldn't focus on the ticket.

We need more politicians with actual knowledge and experience, rather than all these careerist arseholes. Imagine if we had someone in government who was an expert in human rights law. No way would they let the current transphobic bullshit fly.

Increasing numbers of organisations and institutions in Bristol are publicly sharing statements in support of #transrights, affirming their venues and businesses are welcoming to all. Here’s a sample one from the #BristolOldVic. And that, folks, is how it’s done!! 💜💜💜

We have another protest coming up this Saturday in Bristol. Hopefully see you there! #TransRights #Bristol #TransRightsAreHumanRights

pope francis's last words were "more poppers please"

Well done Cardiff for today's trans rights demo.

Begging my parents to stop describing applying sun lotion as "creaming myself".

Petition for the Vatican to release official regeneration sequence footage once they've cast the new Pope.

I was having an emotion, and I hate that.

Trolley problem: cis edition

Such whiplash going from the trans liberation demo in Bristol to my parents' house, where there's a Daily Mail on the coffee table. Not that it'd be much different if they were Guardian readers ofc.

Bristol trans liberation protest tomorrow (Saturday), 2pm College Green. If anyone wants to go but would feel safer/more confident with company, give me a shout. (Thanks to @spiketta.bsky.social for the original graphic)

Today is a day for Pink Floyd's 'Animals' and the levels of misanthropy that brings with it

"human rights", the "democratic process", these are fictions ultimately mean fuck all. easy to believe in when they benefit you, but even then they're just lies society tells itself to obsure the fact that power is what matters. no more "trans rights are human rights", more "trans power."

A timely illustration of why Nick Frost, Paul Whitehouse and anyone else still willing to associate themselves with JK Rowling belongs in the fucking bin. Rowling's money was behind this case. Anyone helping enrich her is fundraising to have rights stripped from trans people.

Define "biological sex" you fucking pricks.

The UK Supreme Court can get fucked

sometimes I will say I have already done something when I haven’t yet. this is a way I stay accountable.

the guardian is happy stating that this composer has been “resurrected” by AI. but they have some important questions about whether a man can become a woman
