Obviously the British military + civil service segregating trans employees is horrific morally but presumably it’s also a security risk cause a bunch of people with access to potentially sensitive info now have strong incentive to leak it, or are vulnerable to blackmail by hostile powers?

Also, let’s be honest, all these rules are going to affect individual content creators more than it will the big porn companies. And even then, all of these rules are affecting the internet in general and creating an even bigger surveillance  state than before.

If the UK government cared as much about the country as they did about what people get their rocks off to, we’d be in a much better state.

It’s striking how almost everybody who actually makes a living as an influencer now seems to be completely miserable + on the point of total breakdown from having to churn out content essentially every waking hour (as that’s what the algo requires). Living like that is inhuman.

Fuck the UK Government. The people in charge of this decision are absolute cowards and purely evil. There are no other words, they don’t care about trans people. It was never okay, and it was obvious that they were lying but it was never about ‘protecting the kids’. It never just stops there.

I’m so fucking tired. Wales NHS has postponed gender-affirming surgeries because a Tory MP read a blog post & gave her concerns to a Labour MP. The words I truly want to say are so hateful that I don’t feel comfortable posting it here. These people are disgusting & WILL have blood on their hands.

My #1 Rule: Everyone in the cast and crew gets taken care of *first.* Tell your people where your budget sits. Be transparent. If that doesn't meet their rates, negotiate. If non-negotiable, don't burn the bridge. Kindly part ways and search elsewhere. Do NOT go to genAI. It only hurts *you.*

weird people fall in love with each other all the time
1st panel: A dismal, awkwardly warmly lit hotel / convention center panel room like what you would see in the 90s or 2000s. A pink rabbit fursuiter holding a build-a-bear wolf, having waited in the corner, waves to an approaching blueberry wolf fursuiter. They both call out their usernames, "Blueberry Bella" and "KidfurKiki87"

2nd panel: Out of suit, the two are cuddled together on the couch in quilts and blankets. The build-a-bear wolf is resting against the build-a-bear bunny. Bella is holding Kiki, their fursuit heads on the dresser in the background. Behind the fursuit head, a "Days until Kiki's home: 0!" Lanyards of past conventions and their years are on a corkboard.

---



Original art piece idea by @mIdrux on Twitter, but I and others were disappointed they drew it with mean-spirited intentions.. even calling the kidfur character a "diddyblud" (yes. verbatim) and getting wrapped up in "proship discourse." I thought the message was too human to let it be diluted + overshadowed by typical online whataboutisms and wanted to redo + reclaim it with more touches of the furry fandom, esp being a furry myself. It's love. For some, the love of your life is in the corner of a boring furcon panel room -- even if they don't have the same "interests," it's care that bridges the gap.

I can’t believe how many people were adamant that Jax wasn’t trans and that people shouldn’t use she/her pronouns. I don’t want to cause discourse and you can have your own headcanons but so many trans people said that Jax was trans due to the finale and now it’s basically been said out loud.

As I’ve said before, any serious attempt to ban conversion therapy needs to confront the fact that the NHS has been doing it for decades.

*POSSIBLE TADC SPOILERS* As an already out trans femme person, the TADC finale is giving me some complicated & confusing thoughts about my gender identity. I’m still thinking about it in general almost a week later. I really love this series. #theamazingdigitalcircus #amazingdigitalcircus #tadc

The finale meant so much to me. I hope you know that despite how weird & harmful this fandom can be, you’ve genuinely made an impactful, & emotional show that me & others can relate to and find meaning in. You & the team behind it did an amazing job and I hope you know how grateful I am for TADC.

NO SPOILERS I got to see The Amazing Digital Circus finale today. It was great being surrounded by fellow fans, not vitriol & pointless rage. It was a theatre full of human beings. We watched together. We laughed together. We cried together. I couldn’t be happier. #tadc #theamazingdigitalcircus

BASH BACK @bashback.bsky.social · 31/10/2025
Statement regarding our action against the EHRC's London HQ
THE EHRC IS A HATE GROUP.

THIS MONTH, THE GOOD LAW PROJECT FORCED THE EHRC TO DUMP THEIR TRANSPHOBIC "INTERIM GUIDANCE".

LAST WEEK, 6 HUMAN-RIGHTS GROUPS DEMANDED THE EHRC HAVE THEIR A-STATUS REMOVED DUE TO AN "OBSESSIVE CAMPAIGN TO STRIP TRANS PEOPLE OF OUR RIGHTS".

DESPITE THIS - AND DESPITE INTERNATIONAL OUTRAGE - THEY STILL INTEND TO PUSH THEIR GUIDANCE (SEGREGATING TRANS PEOPLE OUT OF ALL SINGLE-SEX SPACES) TO GOVERNMENT. 

WE TOOK ACTION AGAINST THE EHRC'S LONDON OFFICE TO SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE: WE WILL NOT OBEY THEIR "GUIDANCE".

THE TIDE IS TURNING. DO YOU SEE US NOW?DON'T ENDORSE HATE.

WE DEMAND THAT ALL ORGANISATIONS DROP THE EHRC'S EXCLUSIONARY ANTI-TRANS "GUIDANCE".

WE DEMAND FORA DROP THE EHRC AS TENANTS. 

EXERCISE YOUR FREE WILL.

STAND UP FOR TRANS PEOPLE.

BASH BACK.

Remember that crises like our current situation impact vulnerable communities (like the trans community) first and foremost, so if you can swing it (and no one is under any obligation), donations to local LGBTQIA+ support groups can make a world of difference at times like this. Much love, y'all.

I love being unapologetically into fandom, although there is some mourning of the old web & how the fandom space has changed. Policing/puritanism seems more prevalent than it once was. Is it better than the old ship wars of yonder years? Who knows? Maybe I’ll write a piece about this at some point

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

It isn’t “grace” to pretend to hand-wring over a man who called for violence, praised gun culture, dehumanized trans folks, and led young people into violent nationalism. It is disingenuousness at best, rank cowardice at worst. And it does harm. If your words whitewash a fascist, stop speaking.

I already had a lot of respect for artist but actually practicing and trying to get better at art as a complete beginning gives you an even deeper respect for those who have practiced their craft for years and managed to become as skilled as they have. #artist #art #drawing

If you miss the old internet that was fun and had personality, browse neocities. It was so fun seeing people’s personalities on display in a way that you don’t get to see on modern social media anymore.

The UK Online Safety Act goes way beyond preventing children from accessing NSFW content. It is control and while I didn’t vote for them, I’m surprised how far Labour is taking this. It is following in the footsteps on the US and that should seriously scare us.

Imagine a shock collar that you could set between a range and as long as you kept your voice in that range, it wouldn’t shock you. On an unrelated note, I hate voice training and remembering to do it. #trans

I've written a short piece about my personal struggles with creativity that I hope some people will relate to. Read it here:

If you were to ask me what I’ve learnt during my years of making content…
The short answer would be nothing. The longer and more thoughtful answer would be nuanced and is the subject of this article.
