There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

This morning Calcium tried to scratch her right ear with her left back foot. Twice. She fell over. She's fine, but I did laugh a lot at her, so she might have a bruised ego.

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

A perfect example of the infantilisation of trans men and mascs. They have to pretend adult trans men are “little girls” in order to take away our agency. If they admitted they were talking about adults what they are saying would seem way more paternalistic, and downright creepy!

In occupied France, people would drop their used matches folded into a V, as a secret sign of resistance. People who opposed the Nazis would see them, knew they weren't alone, & felt emboldened to take action. Some modern day equivalents here--small but powerful actions you can absolutely do:

“The coroner also criticised NHS 111 for “misleading” the public by calling its call handlers “health advisers”. This title, she said, “implies professionalism which is untrue given their underlying skills and unsubstantiated given it is their role to complete an algorithm”.”

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Coming out as transgender in early 2025 is a spectacular fuck you to conformity, hate, and fascism. Other people talk about resistance, but resistance is within our very being.

Can confirm. I had an ongoing turf war with some Info wars asshole who kept plastering shit around here. Everytime I saw one I'd take it down, they tried getting creative & putting it 9+ feet up but I'd find a way Thanks to a handy knife & some patience removed every single one. Give em no quarter

I still like Robert Wolf or Emma Goldman if you want fully articulated anarchist political philosophy but Brennan's haha-jk-unless rants are unironically probably introducing way more people to anarchism as a serious and valid school of thought.

1/🧵 The Cass Review final report was quietly amended in December 2024, just before the permanent ban was announced, and it seems to have gone unnoticed. While most of the changes were minor and clerical, two of them were significant. Both changes relate to informed consent.

Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity. Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.

If you think the Labour party should stop actively sabotaging safeguarding standards by working with anti trans parent groups that promote child abuse, get in touch with your local MP and ask them to put a question to the health secretary in parliament.

Perhaps if the BBC weren’t institutionally transphobic they would question why it is always the same people launching new campaigns to make accessing trans healthcare more difficult if there were the tens of thousands of anti-trans detransitioners they claim there are

If you’re a straight, cis person who has ever posted some version of a rainbow with “you’re safe with me” or similar, it’s time to back up the words with action— contact your reps and ask them what they’re going to do to protect trans people from this administration, particularly trans kids.

Every time you see a story in the media announcing that puberty blockers are banned, it's untrue. They've just been banned for trans kids. Cis kids who are in distress because of precocious puberty still get them. Trans kids who in distress, don't. People, generally, don't know that.
