I need my fellow millennials to have some self respect because why are you worried what a 25 year old thinks of your jeans

Accessibility As An Afterthought

It's quite simple. You cannot say you oppose Israel's plan for the mass ethnic cleansing of Gaza if you keep providing them with the weapons they need to carry it out. The government’s refusal to end all arms sales to Israel is becoming more egregious by the day.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

📢 The Women’s Policy Group NI has released a briefing on the Supreme Court judgment and its implications for NI. ➡️ The Equality Act 2010 does not apply in NI, this judgment cannot be incorporated into our legislation due to protections in the Windsor Framework Article 2

Yet again, I have photoshopped Godzilla into one of Damian Shields' epic landscape photos. I hope he can forgive me, they're just too tempting.

We put a right wing guy in charge of strategy. We keep losing to the right, and he keeps saying "go more right". For some reason we keep doing it

If we lose it just means we arent right wing enough and if we win it means people like us going more rightwing so my advice is go more rightwing now give me a million pounds

Progressive heroes who mistreat women aren't progressive heroes.

Absolutely insane. Uneblieveable. "Sex Matters", one of the hate groups responsible for removing trans people's rights via the Supreme Court are arguing that trans people shouldn't be allowed to transition because they don't have rights and not having rights is bad. Fucking hell

sometimes living in a jurisdiction that's a bottomless pit of legal asterisks has its upsides. great article on the inapplicability of recent UK supreme court judgment on trans rights to ARE WEE COUNTRY

There's not a single crime in the history of the UK that would have been prevented by a bathroom bill. Not one Bathroom bills aren't about safety, they're about trying to exclude LGBT people from public life. That's it

We're getting angry at the wrong thing

Dare I say that having an echo chamber that makes people more progressive is actually a good thing. Dare I say it

‘Comparison Is the Thief of Joy,’ Says Woman Who Apparently Has Never Compared Herself to a Huge Loser Like Elon Musk

First known American citizen to be deported.

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

yeah man you put it on google.com and forced it on users who cares

based beyond belief

wow it’s almost like an ideology that imagines fragile, pure girls and women under attack from a rapacious and virile class of undesirables was always bound to involve xenophobia and racism

We will not use it in a post We will not have it draw a ghost We will not use the GenAI We do not like it, FYI 👻

"TERFs don't realise that this will affect cis women as well" misses the mark I think, because they do realise and they are actually happy to sell out cis women in order to make trans women suffer, that's a price they're more than happy to pay because they are simply cruel freaks and not feminists

When he stood for the leadership on a Corbynism without Corbyn manifesto, I pointed out 1. That he was backed by ultra-Blairites and 2. That his behaviour as shadow Europe minister demonstrated his treachery and backstabbing. But he fooled a lot of you.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Cis women in Ireland need to talk to other cis women in our lives and pour water on the kind of thinly veiled, soft-sounding bigotry that's creeping into people's social media and minds before we fully go the way of the UK. TERFs are claiming to speak FOR us - we need to speak for ourselves. Loudly.

This would go some way to explaining the $3,600 a month on candles

Heard you like fancy remasters. It's Playground Safety Week.

I think forcing NDAs for sexual assault should be illegal and always void

If I was a straight cis person who cared about LGBT rights and I was banned from Pride because I was part of an organisation that was harming LGBT people I think I'd understand. In fact I think it would inspire me to put internal pressure on that organisation to change

Lots of people respond to this kind of point by saying "what if this alienates our allies" and the answer is that if asking our allies to take solidarity action with us and apply their own intellectual and political power alienates them they aren't our allies.

If you’re trans, non-binary or questioning, and you’ve been concerned about what has happened this week - just look at the support that showed up for you yesterday in London at short notice. ✊🏻🏳️‍⚧️ #TransRightsAreHumanRights 📷 @simonlamrock.bsky.social

6 years ago today, my dear friend Lyra McKee was taken from us, murdered in the streets of her new home city. Miss you, honey. The paramilitaries took her life, but she wrote for peace. "Here's to better times ahead, and saying goodbye to bombs and bullets once and for all."

As a biological woman, I really don’t understand the ‘fight’ against trans women. It seems fabricated to me, given I’ve never felt threatened or belittled by trans people of either gender identity. The patriarchy on the other hand… All I’m saying, let’s not distract from where the real war exists.

3 things autistic kids will actually never do: 1. Pick up a roadkill bear from the side of the road and put it in their van to eat 2. Realize they could get in trouble for eating the bear 3. Leave it in Central Park to frame a cyclist for its murder

Fuck the law. Be Trans. Do Crimes.

Trans and non-binary people do not require anyone's permission to exist and if it must be in defiance of the same system that allows internment and state murder then be in no doubt that you are on the side of light and your comrades are with you to the bitter end.

I’m not opposed to “ideological diversity” on here in the sense that I’ll be exposed to ideas I disagree with, I’m opposed to it because those people aren’t funny and post bad

What is an "emac", and why would I want more than one of them?

More journalists need to talk about this the way Japanese articles do

"People think open source is 'free as in beer' but they should be thinking 'free as in puppies': in your house, pissing on your carpet, tearing up your furniture, and your responsibility." Vivid description in this presentation 😂

Some deranged man can exhibit every marker of a man who is going to murder a woman one day and no one does shit no matter how many women try to get help, but great. More AI will save us.
