Only two more days left to see the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt on display at Tate Modern. Every stitch is love, every panel is loss and grief - and a celebration of those who died too young.

Pick up a copy of the Sunday Life, any week, it is just page after page after page of cis white male sex abusers, none of which those rioting across Northern Ireland give a shit about. Probably mates with some of them.

The problem with the US media landscape, in a nutshell, is that it has slid so far to the right that The Guardian is considered hard left. The Graun ffs. A paper that went all-in panic mode to try and destroy a mild social-democratic Labour leadership so everything could go back to machine centrism.

The difficult thing with the current state of discussions around trans rights is you can say 'I think trans people are worthy of dignity and respect' and someone will reply 'So you're saying it's ok for John Cena to punch my grandma?!'

TIL most queer safe spaces - both online and in the real work - depend mostly on the work of singular people. And if one of these people breaks, the space vanishes

It's DARVO all the way down with UK transphobes. All of them in positions of power. All of them wilting flowers, attacked by the big bad transes.

It's incredible the way trans healthcare is spun across all media, instead of front pages about a treatment that far exceeds satisfaction rate of most other medical procedures, we get the stories of the same handful of people who experienced regret and think no-one else should be allowed access it

People who tolerate, even selectively, such politics are facilitating the rise of fascism. This is why solidarity is key to oppose this.

This decision from the ECHR is lockstep in line with the decision in the CJEU from Hungary which I covered here. The outcomes are the same because the logic of fundemental rights around privacy and Data Protection are the same. The Uk is outside mainstream rights. www.thegist.ie/the-gist-tra...
