Yup- given the guy in question is a good friend of mine it's actually been pretty funny watching so many people invent an idea of him so they get to be performatively angry on the internet while they slide into the same BS fatphobia they would also screech about if someone else did it

Dear rest of the world blue sky (and especially the Americans), For the sake of your blood pressure and general happiness, it's probably best to just assume that all Brits on here are being sarcastic until proven otherwise tbh.

The second attack in two weeks on an LGBT+ bookshop in Glasgow. STV posted this story on Facebook and there is an endless stream of comments underneath suggesting the answer is for them to stop using the word "queer", stop supporting trans rights, and stop being so visible. Mainstreamed hate.

I am signed up to the Sotheby's mailing list because I enjoy looking at books I very much want and can't afford. It also provides an intriguing glimpse into how the other half live when you get emails with subject lines like "your guide to buying loose gems."

Thing is you know full well if Jenrick, Braverman, Farage or Tice or any of that lot ever actually became disabled they'd be filling in the claim forms for PIP and AtW before you could finish saying 'Department for Work and Pensions'. Grifters gonna grift.

Look, I do think they should ban single use BBQs, but it's going to have as much impact on the world burning as banning plastic straws had on plastic in the oceans i.e. not NONE, but certainly not as much as doing something about big stuff, like regulating data centres, or not abandoning net zero.

I think they don't want to risk being in control. Being in control means you have to do things. You have to produce results and, most importantly, you have to take the blame. Farage as PM would be bound by a lot more rules. He'd have a lot less time and make far less money than he'd get as PM.

Or an indepth analysis of exactly why you're using it. So I'd settle for just banning the word Orwellian without a detailed footnote I think.

Why am I not surprised that Kathleen "women who don't woman like I do are bad and wrong." Stock has found another avenue to pursue that down? Guess she hasn't heard that the ableist misogyny grifting market is even more oversaturated than the transmisogyny one if such a thing were possible.

Not a woman but I use a stick for various reasons among them: - it increases my walking distance by relieving pressure and pain on an old injury. - it gives me extra stability as I have poor balance due to dyspraxia. - it's a much better visual indicator that I need a seat than a badge.

I've been taking part in Amnesty Campaigns for nearly 30 years. I even helped run an Amnesty International Club at my school. It's the reason I studied Human Rights Law at Uni. This is so extremely disappointing. "We'll stand up for everyone's human rights unless they threaten to sue us."

I think we need to actually restate how wild it is how much anti trans activism there is, and the extreme degree. We're getting two high court decisions on trans rights today alone that have huge consequences for trans people's lives (strip searching and puberty blockers). In one DAY

Stop assuming politicians don't know PIP isn't an out of work of work benefit. They know. It just suits their desire to slash support for disabled people to keep comparing it to the minimum wage.

I mean this very genuinely- it's easy to forget how much you actually get done in a day sometimes trying to make up a bit of doggerel forces me to remember what I've achieved and makes even the mundane every day stuff feel a bit more epic 😀 (I'm also a fan on the 'to done' list)

Went to Whipsnade Zoo today and nearly saw the Child Redistribution system! Small child ran up to an adult and grabbed their hand. The adult was pushing a pram and started walking off with them. Then started speaking to them - about three words in looked down and just went "You're not mine!" 😂😂

Tax on cis people sharing screenshots of rowling's latest cruelty - one screenshot, one donation to a trans youth group? I know we need to know what she's doing for activist work reasons - but I wish the work we were doing FOR trans youth got as much online traffic as attacks on them.
