I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_...

Britain’s Bathroom Ban
The UK has gone from a bathroom ban being unthinkable to a Labour government implementing an extraordinarily authoritarian one—without a vote.

This. If your(roy) choice is to be complicit in your own subjugation through sexist normativity made policy to the degree that others are then denied the same choice that is no more feminism than a snake eating its own tail is sustainable. I've never known a transphobe who didn't serve a misogynist.

As a feminist, it’s just SO EXHAUSTING that I have to investigate EVERYTHING that seems remotely supportive of women, to make sure that it’s not a Trojan horse being used by ‘gender critical’ transphobes to sneak in anti-trans hate under the guise of “protecting women”! 😫

Correlation =/= cause. "being frequently stressed, anxious or moody could be linked to a shorter lifespan." Things that cause people to be frequently stressed, anxious or moody also often cause shorter lifespans. Beware toxic positivity framing because you can't fix poverty with "CBT". #health

Putting voluntary work in there is bonkers, nobody in a low income household can do voluntary work without benefits to support them. Unless you have enough support by other means then voluntary work and not receiving benefits are mutually exclusive. It's just another double-standard for the poor.

Pls don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should. There maybe a slight misunderstanding, I know the word liberty I used looks surface level related to neoliberalism but I didn't confuse the two together, I just think neoauthoritarianism fits better as the descriptor at this precise moment in time.

Questions about their fate swirled after the government's July deadline for destruction came and went. Then came a false report they'd been incinerated. Aid groups say it's not too late to save them.

the guardian cut this from a piece judith butler wrote for them. the guardian targeted butler long before the american right did.
"THE ANTI-GENDER IDEOLOGY IS ONE OF THE MOST DOMINANT
STRAINS OF FASCISM IN OUR TIMES!"
"So TERFS will not be part of the contemporary struggle against fascism, one that requires a coalition guided by the struggles against racism, nationalism, xenophobia, and carceral violence, one that is mindful of the high rates of femicide throughout the world, which includes high rates of attacks on trans and genderqueer people.
The anti-gender movement circulates a spectre of
"gender" as a force of destruction, but they never actually read any works in gender studies. Quick and fearful conclusions take the place of considered judgments"

We are close to ending the threat of AIDS. With long-acting prevention and treatment, we have all the tools we need. But recent international funding cuts mean instead of ending AIDS by 2030 we are likely to see 4.2 million unnecessary, preventable AIDS deaths by 2029.

TBH the number of people who say “hey, I’m awkward in social situations, so I’m autistic” is a joke so negligible it's not worth dismissing those that have done their own research and all the free tests they could find to get the answer to why they have had pervasive daily struggles all their life.
