Loving the new snag tights! Taken @dariusthenerd.bsky.social to see Avengers Endgame Encore.
Photo taken in cinema waiting for film to begin. Visible are OPs legs. OP has green and black striped tights, one leg vertical the other horizontal, and a paid of black laced up ankle boots. Next to her thigh is a Jellycat frog bag.

much as the murder of Brianna Ghey mysteriously stopped being about the climate of transphobia in the UK and became about teen access to social media, the death of Jason Arday is, equally mysteriously, no longer about racism and is becoming about free speech in academia

Will anyone acknowledge how revealing it is about the underpinnings of "gender critical" ideology that they're all coming out to bat for the self-described "race realist"?

Notable how a not-insignificant number of the signatories on the letters supporting a racist signed on to letters supporting anti-trans extremists in 2018 or are high-profile anti-trans extremists themselves, almost as if there’s a connection between ‘everything is gender’ and ‘everything is race’

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

I only use Facebook now for a few very left leaning groups. Apparently sending someone multiple memes gets you flagged as a spammer and a 3 day ban from messenger, whilst the comment I reported the other day calling for a terrorist attack at my local Pride event, that's fine according to Meta.

"Scrap" not "water down", and boot Mahmood out of position and onto the backbenchers, if not remove the whip, while he is at it. You cannot water down Labour's current hostile and xenophobic anti-immigration/anti-asylum policies. They are too far towards the extreme right for tweaks to mean anything

Keir Starmer is a bad person who used his power to make the United Kingdom a more unequal place and dismantle the possibility of opposing oppression and genocide, and to drive trans people from public life. If you think he is decent, I have news for you about your own moral judgement.

If politicians really want to “save childhood,” they can start by ensuring every child has three meals a day, a safe place to sleep, and safe access to education. Banning social media does nothing to help kids who don’t have basic resources.

This MP does not care about disabled people. A lot of disability organisations were against this bill because there are too many loopholes and a massive lack of safeguarding. Also, she didn't even bother to use ALT text for the post.

Remember when Starmer commissioned a report into racism in the Labour party and it said that the party took antisemitism more seriously than anti Black racism and Islamophobia and operated a hierarchy of racism and he ignored the report just like he ignores anti Black racism and Islamophobia?

Starmer as a kind of avatar for centrists. An empty suit and haircut. Middle-class, Middle-Manager Type A. A Sensible Grown Up with an authoritarian streak. Essentially how they see themselves. Admitting that he is a failure takes a level of self-reflection they just aren't capable of.
