it is incredibly fucked up that the UK government and police consider it a much worse crime to wear a t-shirt or wave a placard with 'palestine action' on it than to block ports and attack lifeboats

What on earth is happening?

This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

The Mail attacked the RNLI for having the temerity not to let "the wrong sort of people" drown a few years ago, so I set up a monthly payment to show solidarity and, y'know, help save people. You might want to consider doing the same. It doesn't cost much, and it's one in the eye for the ghouls.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23

THE CHAFF PROJECT Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great! How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public. Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

BBC News is going very hard on its investigation into advisers who help people ‘fake’ asylum claims, focusing especially on people who falsely claim to be gay. But it doesn’t say what percentage of claims are made on the basis of sexuality. As of 2023 — the last available figures — it was 3%.

Okay. Not-a-lawyer-butt. This to me is the tell. Women's oppression defined explicitly as a "shared disadvantage" resulting from "shared biology". These are steps to formalize womanhood as a reproductive role, synonymizing it with certain features of anatomy that are "naturally" disadvantaged.

A certificated sex interpretation would cut across the definition of the protected
characteristic of sex in an incoherent way. References to a “woman” and “women” as a
group sharing the protected characteristic of sex would include all females of any age
(irrespective of any other protected characteristic) and those trans women (biological
men) who have the protected characteristic of gender reassignment and a GRC (and who
are therefore female as a matter of law). The same references would necessarily exclude
men of any age, but they would also exclude some (biological) women living in the male
gender with a GRC (trans men who are legally male). The converse position would apply
to references to “man” and “men” as a group sharing the same protected characteristic.
We can identify no good reason why the legislature should have intended that sex-based
rights and protections under the EA 2010 should apply to these complex, heterogenous
groupings, rather than to the distinct group of (biological) women and girls (or men and
boys) with their shared biology leading to shared disadvantage and discrimination faced
by them as a distinct group.

Somewhere between 5,000 - 15,000 homosexual men were sent to the concentration camps. The death rate for these men may have been as high as 60%. The liberation of the concentration camps did not grant liberty to these men, many of them were reimprisoned under buggery laws. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Labour's war on trans people should be held against the party forever, in the same way that Section 28 is still held against the Tories. This is not something that can or should ever be forgiven. Someday, a future Labour leader will offer a tearful apology for this. They should be told to fuck off.
