Israelis forces assaulted & murdered a Palestinain man who was walking home in Nablus. They also killed his brother who went to help him. The Israeli military & illegal settlers have killed almost 1,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since Oct 7th. Nida' Ibrahim reporting

Removing resources from vulnerable people creates a greater drain on public resources. Reeves knows this, as does Starmer. They're banking on saving money *after* we die. It's a long-term strategy, for once, but eugenics is a cornerstone of fascism and it is anti-society. #FuckStarmer #FuckReeves

My mind keeps flitting between Kirsty MacColl's "Don't Come the Cowboy With Me, Sonny Jim" and the scene in Red Dwarf where Kryten reveals that his knowledge of Rimmer had been kept in a file marked "Captain Bollocks." So, smiling wistfully or cackling. How's your day?

"The role of this tribunal is ... not to enter the debate on gender." Very poorly phrased here, unfortunately. There is no "debate." #TransWomenAreWomen. #TransMenAreMen. They may be a classification of women and men that make some bigots uncomfortable, but that doesn't impact the truth.

Me in my bluesky bubble.

There is no social justice without disability justice. Fascism feeds off ableist & eugenicist undertones within society. Disabled people have been screaming about the risks for years and were often ignored. Include us in resistance efforts.

I bought a massive tub of E45 on the advice of my surgeon after he performed some magnificent butchery on my hands, but I ended up with half a tub left. Not to worry. I've since developed a deeply painful, red-raw skin rash, and now I'm galloping through the rest of it. Thanks, type-1 Diabetes.

"Let my people go full fascist." Deluded. #IsraelIsATerroristState

Greta Thunberg got bad write-ups from Julie Burchill, Brendan O'Neill, Suzanne Moore, Zoe Strimpel and Piers Morgan, the fabled "Arsehole Voltron"

"it will force them to watch a compilation of videos of the October 7 attack"

I'm not sure that Grant Morrison ever imagined that we would all be giddily excited by this threat.

I have a painful red-raw rash on my left thigh and in ingrown toenail on my right foot. I am limping on both legs. I move like an unconvincingly animated character on Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion being piloted by a brain-damaged spider.

Is #FuckNickFrost a thing? And if #FuckNickFrost isn't a thing, then *why* isn't #FuckNickFrost a thing? Seriously, #FuckNickFrost.

Heavy "Doctor Frankenstein whining that his monster just appeared in town one day from nowhere" vibes.

This is like when my wife said she wanted a divorce so I sent her videos of me crying.

So when injecting this morning, it turned out that the needle bent and broke. It injected *some* of my dose very clearly into a small bubble of liquid just below the skin. What am I supposed to do with that? How much insulin is in my system, and how much pissed into the morning air? FFS.

Huwaida Arraf making it clear, Israel has abducted the people from the UK flagged Madleen in international waters & this is a violation of international law. Where is the outcry from our govt?

You could show JKR's first husband being abusive to her all day long, and it will *never* excuse her wretched transphobia. "But October 7th!" is a childish and unconvincing excuse for genocide, and it's all they have. #IsraelIsATerroristState news.sky.com/story/gaza-b...

You've come a long way, Britain

From Independence to Isolation: Say No to Benefit Cuts the cuts will take away the things disabled people need to live independently which disability benefits help fund. #DisabilityRebellion #TaxTheRich #WelfareNotWarfare #TakingThePIP #CAC #StopTheCuts

It was the Dunning of tymes. It was the Kruger of tymes.

There's a whole genre of center left pundit that is like "The Right taking away healthcare, denying science, removing human rights and lying about vulnerable people is a travesty! Can people not see what they are doing?! But also they have a point about trans people"

Here's my only problem with current Doctor Who. I feel like I'm being talked down to. I feel like the writers - as much as they've always been scrabbling to keep up - have not been committing to it. And I was a fully grown person in 2005 with memories of old who. So no, "you were a kid then." 1/

Helluva thread. The Labour Party has fully become the UK Democrats. Whining while in opposition about all the right-wing things (because that is their part in the fiction) then fully implementing them when put in power. Anybody still participating in the Labour Party cannot be trusted.

"Forward, not back." Butcher > "I'm sorry, sir, but there is no 'forward' cut of bacon." "Alright then. Back."

"Hey, TERFs have an expectation that they can say their rancid opinions out loud and *not* face immediate violence for it." > "They have been lied to." Works both ways, I guess. #FuckTERFs #FuckLabour #FuckTheGuardian
