Not In Our Name (NION) Women @nionwomen.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
To everyone in the trans+ community: your existence is not something to be debated. These words come from cis women who simply want you to know that your lives matter, and that you deserve joy, safety, dignity and belonging. Love is a doing word. All our love, NION women 💜
I am so sorry that life is so tough right now.
Sadly it seems that the world has become filled with hate and division. People who have never had the wonderful opportunity to meet you or any of your trans siblings are only hearing from the noisy, hateful ones.
I want you to hear from some of the other people on this planet who don't use social media to shout and spread hate.
#WithTheTDear beautiful you...please know that in this crazy world there are folk who cheer you, love you and embrace you.
Hold tight to who you are, and know that you are beautiful, are worthy, and are seen and heard. May the winds of time bring quietitide to your world and fan the wings of peace so that you can keep being you... beautiful! Xx
#WithTheTThank you for enriching our world and teaching us that there are many ways to be fully human. I'm sorry you have to endure the misunderstanding & mistreatment of those who can only imagine life in narrow lines of conformity. I remember, not so long ago, those of us who knew we were lesbians were afraid to say it, watching in silence and fear as we were punished for our difference.
I promise you, these times will pass. The LGB community survived - we are here and proud.
For the T community suffering right now - you already belong with us, and I know that broader acceptance will follow. Until then, please know that you have our love, acceptance and support.
- MD
#WithTheTI want you to know that I support you unequivocally and you must believe me when I say that there are many many people that share this view. Put simply - YOU matter, YOU are loved and YOU are supported.
Please, if you can, turn down the volume on those negative voices and amplify those who want you to hear messages of love and support. YOU are enough. YOU are valid.
YOU matter!
Best wishes,
Jacqui
#WithTheT

So this game called "Dverghold" came across my Steam homepage. Interesting retro vibes, apparently collabing with a dungeon synth artist for the OST. The art was kinda tickling my AI-dar though, so I scrolled down to look for any disclaimers.

I would argue that the PACE trial’s initially published results are still damaging the perception of #ME despite the subsequent findings that the results are questionable due to methodological weaknesses in the study design. The Lancet’s editor defended the trial. That sticks.

Is welfare spending ''out of control''? It's estimated to be 11.1 per cent of GDP this financial year. That's just 1.1 per cent of GDP higher than in 2007-08, and total welfare spending has actually fallen by 0.9 per cent of GDP since 2012-13 ⤵️
