This is why chronically ill folk need chronically ill friends Me: I’ve tested positive for X @fiadhaich.bsky.social: That’s great news hun

tell me why toxic town on netflix is the first am hearing of how corby’s corrupt new labour council poisoned people, specifically pregnant women, through toxic waste by cutting corners and costs reclaiming the steelworks plant. definitely something everyone should watch.

““What’s going on in these places are inhumane. The civil war in Sudan, the oppression and the war and the tyranny that’s going on in Gaza, is inhumane. And these people are connected with us all as humans, and especially with me in faith.””

“Are you going to be a coward?” Zül-Qarnain Nantambu asked himself before taking the field for Kendrick Lamar’s show. “Are you going to take a stand?”

We have enough validity right now, but what cis folks CAN actually do: - Contribute to GFMs for trans care and travel (we are a very impoverished demographic!) - Help a trans person get a job - Help a trans person move - Vocally oppose anti-trans legislation (yell at reps, not random bigots online!

I would like a word with whoever taught cis people that if they see a trans person who is upset about the rise of transphobia, they have to tell them they’re “valid” I’ve been out as trans for 13 years. I know I’m a man, I don’t need your personal validation, maybe protest against fascism instead?

the deeply inhumane levels of violently criminalising and deporting people and then filming them to broadcast how you’re destroying their lives, all in the game of who can cheer on fascism the most. this is who labour always has been, a party of imperialism, colonialism and racism.

was trying to find out who i got my widows peak from (my mum) but when i typed ‘dad’ into my photos, only my partners dad came up - which is possibly the most adorable thing. just estranged things!

I don't think Trump's "resettlement" talk will go anywhere for now, but it is a clear signal to the Israeli government that it could ethnically cleanse Palestinians out of Gaza + the West Bank. The US would be ok with it. Of course, this depends on the timing, pushback etc.

we really have to start questioning ethical stances that are used to defend fundamentally anti-solidarity performative actions. US trans people need our support, not a boycott of what will often be their only financial income while under significant and severe threat from a fascist trump government.

took the plunge and shaved my hair off, the euphoria is realllll

If you are in danger unless you comply with a regime, you are in danger whether you comply or not

Today is my birthday and I’m finally launching my crowdfunder for a wheelchair. I’ve spent 5 years housebound and it’s time for that to change. Anything you can give is appreciated, even if that’s just sharing this tweet with your followers ♿️ #NEISvoid #MutualAid #DisabledSky gofund.me/f7901daa

people’s political understandings of fascism has to move past liberal electoral politics. the democrats enable fascism through their own policies, their own rhetoric, just as uk labour do. you will not be saved from fascism by putting a vote in a box every few years then screaming about it.

super overwhelmed with the idea of posting atm. feel like when things are just really bad politically it triggers my freeze response and i just don’t want what to say or even how to take in information.

The failure to reckon with transphobia as a currently central motivation of the far right will continue to plague those disturbed by its rise for a decade or more Rather than standing with trans people many liberals have pursued appeasement and helped the wider shift to the far right in the process

nothing like being an acts of service butch to get me out of the house at 8am on less than 4 hours sleep to put the car in for a service ahead of charley’s driving test 😌

watching the california fires, i feel deep grief; for the people, for those risking their lives to fight fires made by colonial capitalism - including incarcerated people - for indigenous people watching their stolen land be destroyed, and for the land itself. we aren’t supposed to live like this.
