How having a disability became cool
Young women, nicknamed ‘sickfluencers’, are turning chronic illness into a lifestyle trend and entrenching a culture of economic inactivity

Young women are also more likely to get caught up in “social contagion” – the spontaneous spread of behaviours or emotions previously observed by sociologists in “outbreaks” of bulimia, self-harm and transgender ideology. What may have otherwise been transitory feelings are seized upon and obsessed over until they form a central pillar of a person’s identity. A chronic-illness influencer won’t want to get “better” any more than a female-bodied transgender person would want to re-identify with their sex.

Its pretty telling that the only kind of person the news can legitimately describe as "transcending politics" are one who unequivocally practiced kindness, inclusion, and protection for maltreated minorities, which everyone can see has a definite political bent.

“Silly” is a good way to put it! There were excesses in 2020 but they were mostly low-stakes efforts by well-intentioned people to address real injustices. The excesses of the right during the same era were far more harmful. The reckoning we need now is about how elites lost sight of that.

This makes sense. Trans People are nomadic pastoralists - while they have historically been valuable trading partners for sedentary agrarian cities, the advent of stirrups and their proficiency with horse archery made them a fearsome foe to urban areas from The Yellow River to the Pannonian Plain.

"LGB-no-T" campaigner Julie Bindel says she'd BAN pride if she could, in order to protect children from predatory gay men. Absolutely fucking appalling. A whole column — "A Pride of Perverts" — going on like this. TERFing really cooks the brain.
I feel afraid for vulnerable teenagers who, questioning or exploring their sexuality for the first time, go along to a Pride march in the hope of meeting like-minded young people. The parades are now hunting grounds for predatory men, who can dismiss as
'homophobia' any attempt to rein in their behaviour.
If I could ban Pride, I would, to protect young people - especially women, but also teenage boys who are very much in danger of being sexually abused and exploited by much older men.
Women like me are sick of being lumped in with trans-identified people, with kinksters, with those that just call themselves 'asexual', 'non-binary', 'sapiosexual' or
'aromantic' - people who are never going to face oppression or discrimination for their sexuality. The Pride movement is redundant.

An elaborate shitpost - which took me forty-five minutes when I should have been trying to sleep, and which was a fun exercise in gilding the lily - but a shitpost nonetheless
These eyes have seen a thousand wonders shine:
Great miracles, in heaven and on earth,
And though my life be short compared to thine,
A thousand years could not contain its worth.

I watched great ships of war sweep through the night,
New constellations 'gainst a starlit haze,
Where, bested by Orion's ancient might,
They roared their glory in a final blaze;

And softer still, in silent darkness stood,
I saw two worlds, and, passing inbetween,
I witnessed there what no Man ever could -
The light of God in thrall to a machine.

As tears in rain are lost like morning dew,
I give these echoed sights, in death, to you.
