finished "Fairies: a history" by @drfrancisyoung.bsky.social . I read a woefully small amount of non-fiction but I got a lot out of this without feeling overwhelmed or completely out of my depth. Excellent stuff.

It really is incredible how many people not in these categories refuse to believe the very basic fact that Starmer has been the worst Prime Minister for racial and LGBTI+ equality thus far this century. We're on race rioting every summer and outright trans eliminationism! It's fuckin grim, lads

Hi Bylines, can you explain why you have commissioned this person to write an article about Pride for you? Here they are repeatedly misgendering a murdered trans child.

The poor young kid Brianna Ghey killers are to be sentenced today. It was a horrific sustained attack so hopefully they get a sever [sic] sentence. No one deserves what happened to this poor kid no matter how confused he was or what issues he was going through

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.

the media is pretending to be baffled at keir starmer’s unpopularity bcos they don’t want a historical record detailing his participation in israel’s genocide, his massive regression of lgbt+ and women’s rights, his extremist immigration platform, or his attempts to wipe out disabled ppl.

"I allowed myself to be tokenized and cosigned a bunch of conservative propaganda, and now the reactionaries who tolerated me for a little bit have gone back to openly despising me" Womp fucking womp.
When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way. My stance wasn’t rooted in hate or fear but in a commitment to reason and fairness. My loyalty was to the truth, not to political tribes. Maintaining my integrity cost me greatly, but I believed it was worth it.

I went even further — I joined a nonpartisan organization as a legal analyst, advocating for parental rights in schools, against race-based affirmative action, and opposing radical gender ideology. I wrote legal letters, spoke at universities that plastered my face on fliers calling me a bigot, and partnered with conservative attorneys who, I believed, were fighting to preserve fundamental American values. I stood shoulder to shoulder with them on the cultural battlefield, committed to protecting gender-nonconforming children's welfare while still supporting trans adults who simply wanted to live their lives in peace. It was the most extreme activist voices — those who called lesbians transphobic for only wanting to sleep with women and who prioritized trans women’s feelings over the safety of cisgender women — that I opposed. I recognized that these excesses were not just putting trans adults’ rights in jeopardy, but the gay and bi communities’ as well. The fringe was threatening all of us. Acceptance of same-sex marriage began to decline for the first time in a decade. We needed to course correct, and fast.

You can’t have justice and capitalism. They don’t mix. You have to choose one. The tools of justice will invariably be redirected towards the human exploitation machine. We knew that before. It’s inarguable now. People are being caged for cash. The caged are being experimented on & used for labor.

The silence about Lebanon really is breaking my brain at the moment, it's monstrous to not only destroy a place but like, the media's giving it just a big 'ah well' shrug, the most half-hearted reporting ever. Even their propaganda feels like cba. I can't articulate it well but it's so vile

When I wrote a piece about my son's love of reading in January, I included this bit because I refuse to hear lectures about literacy rates from the selfsame ghouls and vandals who've cheered on as the UK's apparatus for childhood reading has been stripped to the wiring and sold off for scrap.
I’m wary of fetishising reading for its own sake, since I find a lot of that conversation mildly puritanical. I was a bookworm, but several of my siblings were not, and all that taught me was that there are many different types of intelligence. That being said, child literacy numbers make for stark reading. In June last year, the National Literacy Trust surveyed 114,970 children and reported the lowest numbers ever recorded, with only 39% of girls and 25.7% of boys stating they enjoyed reading in their spare time. The reasons for this are likely to be multifaceted, and I’d imagine the tabloid bogeymen of YouTube and video games have had something to do with it. It’s just that when certain journalists bemoan a decline in reading for pleasure among children, I recall them having enthusiastically cheered on the very same government that’s shut one in five libraries in Britain since 2012, and ushered in a cost-of-living crisis that has made buying books prohibitively expensive for a huge swath of Britain’s population. Maybe they’re right, and today’s coddled tots are just illiterate morons poisoned by smartphones. Or, perhaps, their parents’ and grandparents’ generations set fire to every bedrock of literacy they themselves enjoyed, in a spree of vulgar ideological vandalism for which they now refuse to take responsibility. Who knows?

If this was “brutally honest” it would say that the worst people in the Labour Party got together with the lobby journalists offscreen, and they secretly decided they would force this project down the public’s throats, no matter what. It doesn’t say that.
