The VS weigert keihard elk verdrag voor kinderrechten te ondertekenen. Kinderen kunnen er ook nog altijd de doodstraf krijgen. De VS is een van de slechtere landen als het om kinderrechten gaat.

EU haalt Russisch sabelbont van sanctielijst. Sabelmarters worden met pijnlijke vallen gevangen en opgesloten in minikooitjes. Voor 1 bontjas worden er 40 gedood. Gruwelijk! Grote hypocrisie van EU om bontindustrie én Poetins oorlogskas te spekken. NL móét hiertegen optreden. Kamervragen.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Ik zou willen dat meer van mijn mede Witte Nederlanders hun gemeenschapsgevoel zouden ontlenen aan solidariteit in plaats van minachting en haat. Ik ben opgegroeid op de Veluwe. Ik weet hoe kleinzielig en hatend veel mensen in NL zijn.

Witte Nederlanders hebben hier én wereldwijd hun stinkende best gedaan om gemeenschap af te breken. De Nederlandse staat wíl helemaal geen gemeenschappen. Want gemeenschappen zijn lastig te besturen. De politiek wil hetero kerngezinnetjes die elkaar allemaal aftroeven met een nieuwe barbecue.

The superstition that everyone can make themselves forgive and that this forgiveness will magically heal PTSD and other resulting harm serves abusers and their enablers. That way you do not have to stop abusers and making pay restitution nor make communities safer.

I deeply despise people who condescendingly preach Forgiveness at victims, claiming that this will supposedly help victims heal. If they were not enabling cowards, they would go after perpetrators to make them stop hurting others and pay restitution.

Flynn Minter @flynnminter.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
Do not ask someone you have wronged for Forgiveness. That is placing another burden on them. Ask what they want as restitution, then either do or give them this compensation without complaint if you are capable.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Het blijft een grote historische vergissing dat de Telegraaf na WOII niet definitief is ontbonden en verboden plus een verbod voor de eigenaars en top management om ooit nog in deze branche te werken.

Someone who is supposedly slightly less underpaid then you, is still underpaid. If you attack them in stead of the system, you have fallen for the divide-and-conquer tactics of the ruling class.

I wish the trans community would take 100% of the "transexual vs cissexual" "TMA vs TME" "AMAB vs AFAB" "binary vs nonbinary" energy and put it towards "us vs transphobia."

No, members of a given marginalised group are not obliged to prioritise another groups over themselves. This is something cis het white socialists and feminists used to demand from people of colour, poor women and LGBTQ people. Be better than that. Read up on actual solidarity.

Flynn Minter @flynnminter.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
If you do not belong to a given marginalised community, then you do not get to police let alone dictate the words they use to describe their lived experiences with discrimination and marginalisation. No, your hurt feelings are irrelevant.

When someone from another subsection of the LGBTQ community criticises you, that does not entitle you to sling slurs at them. Claiming to be punching up does not entitle you to do that either. Why do you want to use slurs at them anyway?
000
Flynn Minter @flynnminter.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
Only members of a given group can use reclaimed slurs that historically were applied to said group. It should be obvious that an outsider who uses these slurs, is being a violent bigot.

Flynn Minter @flynnminter.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
If you hate on an entire subsection of the LGBTQ community as a self-professed queer, then you are a bigot. No, your marginalisation is not a get-out-of-jail-free card to preach hatred against other marginalised groups. No, not even if said group has a bit more supposed privilege.

If an author is not transparent about their sources, this should immediately raise the question why they chose not to. Moreover, it means that you cannot quote them as a serious academic source without risking spreading misinformation and plagiary.
000
Flynn Minter @flynnminter.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
Academic standards on sourcing and annotation exist for a reason. If an article, essay or book does not properly source its claims, then a reader cannot truly know if they agree with the author or not without doing extensive research themselves.

Sadly, this book lacks annotation and a complete source list.

Severe abuse of power should result in having that power and one's wealth permanently taken away. Restricting power & wealth disparity and making transparency the norm, prevents a great many abuses of power.

This reads like a confession. Predators will often pick certain types traumatised people whose buttons they know how to push and whom they can easily discredit. BPD is a diagnosis that carries a lot of stigma. All of this is just a fancy way of saying "all my exes were crazy". Not a good look.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

The Jason Arday storv has been delicious. But the problem goes well bevond race and academia. Would Andrea Long Chu. a vicious. porn- addled misogynist. really have won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Criticism if he hadn't claimed to be a woman?
Woman-hate is widely regarded as a sign of edgy brilliance, and its totally acceptable so long as the man spouting it has changed his pronouns.

Er is een heel makkelijke oplossing. Als je met een trekker de snelweg op gaat, dan wordt die onteigend en verlies het recht op een trekker te besturen en bezitten. Bij overtreding van het verbod krijg je een boete van minimaal een ton plus een lange gevangenisstraf. www.nu.nl/binnenland/6...

Dum-dum (expanding) bullets are illegal in international warfare under the 1899 Hague Declaration, but they are legal for civilian use, hunting, and police work in many places, including parts of the UK and US, depending on local firearm law. Governments do not care for civillian welfare.
