I would be mortified to be a mewling Harry Potter adult even if Joanne was still just known as the tedious centrist we all thought her to be a decade ago. "Ooo I want to drink butterbeer and see Gringotts in person" get a life, read a book for adults you weirdo.

There's a difference between an intelligent person & an "intellectual" & it's the same difference between people who can routinely ace a New York Times crossword, & those who write articles for the New York Times.

OK folks, really need your help. Trans Pride NI is getting zero funding, nothing from the council or Belfast Pride and if they don't hit £5k, it won't happen. They're over £2k now. Can we get this to target? Please share. Thank you ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

I am going to become the joker

These people were nowhere to be found during the Ulster rugby trial. Not a single peep. They don't care about women and girls - they fucking hate women - but they're a convenient excuse.

There are plenty of gender issues worthy of coverage - sexual abuse, domestic violence, poverty rates among single parent households and their increased risk of homelessness, healthcare, abortion access, the gender pay gap. Stella O’Malley’s culture war on trans people isn’t one of them

First time I’ve actually seen the trans symbol denote space segregation and it feels fucking bad chat

And yet nothing ever happens

trump has absolute maniacs willing to martyr themselves for the cause because they believe he can bring about the glorious rapture and tribulation and elon has ian miles cheong and a bunch of people who try not to actively hate him as they wait for his check to clear.

Pfft, who needs a Switch 2?

Lessons from social media over the years: - Good for fun, education, and company, less good for real connection unless you take it offline - Quote dunks are The Worst form of engagement bait - You don't owe people a reply if they're being overfamiliar or antisocial - Pee is stored in the balls

How are we meant to tell AI invented slop from real stories when papers print shit like this?

one of the few times muffin makes noise is when she's dreaming

The colonialism of British TERFs is through the roof. Again. This open letter from Irish feminists to British transphobes in 2018 remains relevant. Where was JK Rowling's money for #RepealThe8th? But she has it to spread British Anti-LGBT hate in Ireland? #Spéirgorm feministire.com/2018/01/22/a...

If you would like to know what it is like living as trans right now: I cannot think of a single week in the last 5 and a half years since I transitioned where a politician, celebrity, government or public figure of some prominence hasn't attacked trans people. It is constant. Never-ending.

I need to scream but if I ever let it out I won't stop

trans woman subclasses in the 2020s meta: - apothecary - intrepid jokester - void god proselyte - the wisest gremlin you'll ever meet - youre not sure if she is joking about having fucked your mum or actually did - oathbreaker paladin

When I was in my twenties, I was repeatedly denied a medically necessary hysterectomy because I might “meet a man who wants kids”. I was left completely disabled, forced to undergo six surgeries, multiple blood & iron transfusions to preserve a diseased uterus for a HYPOTHETICAL child. 🧵

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

breathtakingly evil bill that will only serve to further immiserate marginalized people, mainly women, who already live in poverty. astonishingly cruel

Really distressing seeing official docs saying “transwoman” and “transmen” and just straight up saying “transmen are biological women” and “transwomen are biological men” The ruling party just calling us slurs now

"You're so strong; waiting all these years for healthcare" thanks, I'm deeply miserable

I promise this will make you feel happy for fifteen seconds:

We gotta start killing these people

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

This is on Facebook, I scrolled for a bit and every single comment I saw, no exaggeration, was either "you liar, too many foreigners, vote Reform" or "you're meant to be the Labour Party what is this fash shit". There was nobody going "thank you, Sir Keir".

there's so much going on here, but the fact he only asks about society getting less intelligent really speaks to me
