I'm glad we're finally outsourcing the horrible bits of life like making plans with friends so we can have more time to consume ads.

a few years ago, references to Simon of Trent or Leo Frank trutherism were a sign that someone was an intensely Christian and/or Neo-Nazi right-wing antisemite but now formerly-normal lefty politics influencers who stayed on Twitter casually reply to Mamdani with 15th century blood libel posts

I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

Anyone wondering why the 50 didn't speak up should watch the bodycam footage of the Iowa uni hazing. You don't make it into one of these groups without proving you will keep your mouth shut and uphold their "values". It's designed that way.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

#LongCovid is not a neuroimmune disorder. It's a multi-system disease entity with damage well documented in situ across multiple organs and tissues. Neurological and immune manifestations are important, but so is pathology affecting other body systems. Patient care for all is key

like I hope it's obvious by now that all the "MeToo went too far!" bleating is because it got rapists in trouble and they don't think rapists should get in trouble.

The christofascists said they would do this in 2017. Well, we warned you that trans people were the testing ground, but you all thought, “If we throw them trans people, they’ll leave the rest of us alone.” As with the manufactured ETs against trans people, youre going to get the same against LGBs.

I'm going to tell you a story and then, at the end, I'm going to ask you if anyone happens to have the niche knowledge I need to help... The story begins, as so many of my stories do, in an ancient church in the middle of a city. But it's not now. And it's not hundreds of years ago. It's the 1960's

I really weary of how UK reporters are tiptoeing around the fact that the US president talked absolute shit about the RAF Fairford incident and arrests. "It's possible Trump was talking off the cuff" - no, it's in fact very clear that Trump was just lying compulsively because that's what he does.

"the world is being ruined by a bunch of weird and powerful men having sex orgies where they invent excuses to rape women and other men and children under the guise of altruism, rationality and networking" sounds like a conspiracy, but it is very clearly happening, and out in the open at that.

I’m genuinely shocked at the people on here who think long covid isn’t real. Seriously? Your actuaries, departments of health even the freaking department of defense know it’s real. Apparently people used to think MS wasn’t real. There’s a long history of telling sick people they’re crazy.

Always a massive indicator of someone who's cooking their brains on twitter. Not something most people will say in real life, but a word that's thrown around constantly there and so they think it's normal, or at worst mildly edgy.

I really wish that Covid hadn’t happened, but it did, and either we adapt to the reality that it makes some people permanently sick and at risk, and they still deserve humanity, or we keep scapegoating and ostracizing anyone who points that fact out, anyone who has to survive it, anyone broken by it

I have had #LongCovid since 2022 (for four years). Another infection could worsen my LC symptoms. I have received doses of vaccine every year since they were first released, most recently in September 2025. I want to get vaccinated (boosted) but it will cost me £100. How is this OK?

not wanting to get sick(er) or get other people sick is a normal desire and I have zero interest in litigating it with people who'd rather ally with the fascists pathologizing or mocking it.

it's not hyperbolic to say that if the ways you talk and think about disabled/sick people (as well as the COVID precautions we may take) are indistinguishable from how fascists talk about disabled/sick people—even down to the same statements—then you have a fucking problem.

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made

I hate this line of political interview: 'Andy Burnham once said spicy things about Trump'. The interviewee replies 'well that was in the past', followed by further verbal jousting. And yet both know but can't say that 'Trump is a deranged lunatic and we & our viewers hate him'. Looking Glass stuff.
