"What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter." (Terry Pratchett, Going Postal, published 2004)

I run the first newspaper in the city and my photographer is a sober vampire

will also add - yes, this is my personal crusade - that turning podcasts into videos implicitly asks women to once again make more effort than men, as the bar for "camera-ready" for one gender is obviously higher than for the other

Adverts in December: Eat the things! Indulge yourself! You deserve it! Adverts in January: hey fatty go on a diet

Toxic relationships are toxic no matter the type of relationship. We should no more encourage sticking with abusive blood relatives than we should encourage people to remain with abusive romantic partners. I am deeply suspicious of the sort of people that would argue otherwise.

"there are so many people full of kindness, acceptance and a belief in justice, and we are hearing too much from the brutal, the conniving and the greedy, as if the kind people did not exist"

Merry Christmas from me & my weird long son

The files: "2 legged sight seeing (read intelligent pretty fun and from good families)" "we'll have the slutty Spanish girl" "have you found me any inappropriate friends?" The papers: "There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing"

Warning: very disturbing read. It’s a story told by a woman who Trump allegedly raped when she was 13. 13!! It’s not new. She first came forward in 2016 when he began running for president. It was mostly ignored. But it seems increasingly plausible now! katemanne.substack.com/p/the-actual...

Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.

I bleached my hair and cut it into a new style on Saturday and I've been sick in bed ever since. Bloody typical.

What actor's facial expression in a tv show/movie will stay with you for the rest of your life?

So, Laura Kuenssberg's introduction to her interview with Mary-Ann Stephenson is just hideous. Let me count the ways. 🧵

I learned about a series of deaths in Canada in the 90s/00s from a true crime podcast. It's one of those things that stays with you. The racism, the cruelty, and what happens when some people who don't see others as fully human get a little bit of power. www.canadiantruecrime.ca/episodes/75

This "wrapped" trend is getting out of hand. I've already been made aware i buy too many lattes (bank app), listen to too much true crime (podcast app) and obsessively listen to the cure (music app) so what's next Asda telling me how many bourbon biscuits I've eaten?

i saw this movie for the first time last week and i cannot stop thinking about it. www.criterion.com/films/27666-...

"This is a moment that requires bravery in standing up for right. Organisations that value trans people should know not just that the law is on their side – but so, also, are many people who will step up to defend them if they have the courage to take a stand." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I haven't finished reading the judgement myself yet but 2 things I've noticed: 1) as always, the parts "won" by the "gender critical" claimant were about processes followed unfairly, not an endorsement of GC views 2) the judge's comments suggest the EHRC interim guidance incorrectly interprets FWS

Mini thread on the ET decision in Peggie Top line: It says exactly what we have been saying for months. The decision of the Supreme Court was not to turn the Equality Act 2010 into a nationwide bathroom ban - regardless of how anti-trans organisations have sought to misrepresent the law. 🧵👇

"people i agree with are standing up for their rights - this is ADVOCACY. People I disagree with are doing ACTIVISM and that's a BAD WORD"

I'm sorry but a country where the legislature sells jerk seasoning as gift shop tat is not one where the engines of multiculturalism can be rolled back to 1948

There's almost certainly trans women that have been in the WI longer than JKR has been alive and she has the audacity to "protect women" by preventing 80 year old women from making fucking jam with her friends

This article is awful, but the 78 year old trans woman broke my heart. She knew as a teen she was trans. She was subjected to such cruelty, lived though so many law changes, the GRA, the Equality Act and now the awful regression we're seeing on trans acceptance :( www.bbc.com/news/article...

I was reminded of this today and it didn't get enough appreciation at the time for something that has permanently changed both "see it say it sorted" and the act of seeing a horse for me ever since

Where have i heard "the law is forcing us to segregate against our will" before

I have nothing to add to this thread, but i would like to talk about the artist of the fantastic piece that telegraph have used in their "D&D is ruined by woke" piece The artist is Richardo Bessa, his art is GORGEOUS, and you should check it out www.ricardobessa.com

52% / 48% is the cursed ratio of our era. Discuss.

This idea just came to me and I had to do it because I couldn't think about anything else until I had done it. What have i missed?

Since 1978, the world has observed the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People every November 29th.

Hey, if you're a queer and/or trans person and you want some petty revenge at the gathering of shitty right-wing family members: love yourself. If you love yourself, you can cause them WAY more discomfort than they cause you. Use your power for evil. Be the supervillain who ruined Thanksgiving >:3

At least it's honest, right? Intrusive questioning of women who don't conform to norms about how they should look, and women then being banned if they tell their inquisitor to mind his own sodding business, has always been the logical end point for the patriarchal project that is TERFdom.

Today is Trans Day Of Remembrance #TransLivesMatter #TDoR #TDoR2025 #TransDayOfRemembrance #TransAwarenessWeek #SayTheirNames *** Trigger warning for the following thread: Violence against trans people (especially TWOC) * * *

What circle of hell is it for people who are on hold on a telephone call with their phone on speaker so the whole train has to listen to the hold music

"As someone working in law, it’s heresy to say this, and it might even kill my chances of a career... But as a trans person, and someone fighting for the rights of my community, I refuse to remain silent. To me it just seems obvious: a heavily prejudiced society produces prejudiced institutions."
