There’s a word for people who lurk outside toilets to harass people

submitted 3 hours ago • 0 comments

The papers have again chosen to hound trans women for our use of the toilets on the Parliamentary estate. This time The Times reports that a trans woman used the women's toilets in Portcullis House last week. She was harassed by two anti-trans campaigners as she did so. 🧵

Hey, ICYMI... Avengers Academy #1 is at your local comic book store RIGHT NOW. This is a print compilation of the incredible comic that's been published on the Marvel Unimited app, featuring a group of young (mostly queer) heroes learning the ropes. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy!

Apparently the London "No Kings" rally was renamed to "No Tyrants" because the United Kingdom is not a country, but a punchline

Still processing the power and emotion of seeing the UK AIDs Memorial quilt at Tate today. So many stories, so many lives. So many of these had me in tears. The performances by the London Gay Mens Choir were lovely.

So much respect and admiration for everyone in the US taking part in these rallies today. Proud of all of you, of the best part of our people 👏

Very moving day at the Tate Modern seeing the UK Aids Quilt. It's on display til the 16th if you can see it.

At this point I'd prefer it if they said "Zohran Mamdani can't be mayor because New York isn't ready for a politician with so much rizz AND sex appeal" At least that would make sense as a statement!

'Trump’s military parade taps an ancient tradition of power: from Mesopotamia to Mag Critics see echoes of authoritarianism, a break from the US’s usual restraint on military display' I'm beginning to find the normalising headlines as worrying as the content the articles supposedly cover...

Funny how Mister Focus Group ignores all the polling of the public on this isn’t it

No, we don't you spineless zionist cunt. Fuck off.
