(man who was at university when the majority of Kneecap's fans were born) well whatever you think about their politics, their music is CRAP 😂

let's be clear, if the Otley Run attacker had been non-white this would be dominating the news cycle. Farage, Badenoch et al would be demanding Keir Starmer to front up to questions and we'd probably be facing another set of dangerous race riots. Instead it's non stop toilets and Kneecap

Been thinking a lot about Adolescence and how the rights response wasn't even to deny that online misogyny is a problem, but insist that non-white men are the real threat. A day after I finished the script for QAA on the topic, we had an attempted mass killing by a self-identified far-right MGTOW

This is probably the strangest (and also the fiercest) article I've ever written, out now in History Workshop Journal. And it's available open access! academic.oup.com/hwj/advance-...

Does it seem more likely, or do you just have a poorly timed recent book release?

They didn’t “evolve” to become pin ups of the right, trad wives started as a far right sub culture, then “evolved” to become glossy influencers & now are embedded. A far right idea of womanhood in the mainstream www.ft.com/content/89be...

Sarah is correct. This is one reason why this statement is so egregious - it's completely unnecessary.

pope francis modeled to me what catholicism could be at its best — an unyielding love for our neighbors, especially the immiserated. a pope who served trans people, the poor, the imprisoned, refugees, who called gaza daily. he showed me we’re all capable of change, if we are brave enough to seize it

Little girl in front of me leaving mass asked the priest to bless her easter egg and he did it! Can't believe I've been eating nonblessed Easter eggs all these years like a fool

Weirdly this is not the only time I've seen anti-trans ideologues get very weird about adoptive/step-parents where they insist calling them a parent is a polite fiction, rather than i think the more common understanding that there are many routes to becoming a parent.

This sort of video, of detained men waving their papers, giving their names and hoping the world will notice them, is horribly familiar from authoritarian regimes around the world.

This ruling is expected to lead to revision of the Equality Act — a long term goal of the far right. Once that door is opened for one group, it can be opened for all. The erosion of rights for all protected characteristics, including sex, has been made possible by this ruling.

This is wild. I don't want to add my views until I've read considered and informed analysis of the ruling but this is very surprising and unfortunate. Although maybe it shouldn't be given that trans people were not allowed to represent ourselves in this case as interested parties

For this week's QAA @paulmmcooper.bsky.social and I take our listeners on a cosmic journey into deep, ancient history. Join us as we discover civilisations so lost to the sands of time that most of mainstream archeology denies they ever existed at all.. on.soundcloud.com/zrbXN2N4sQXE...
