Like and share if you want Iran to have nukes

What people used to do in the old days when they had a bit of Z list celebrity grief. They threatened them on national television.

Imagine condemning immigrants but not the govts that destabilized their homelands Imagine condemning Black people but not police, prisons, & policies built to cage them Imagine condemning gay & trans people but not the systems that force them to live in fear ALT for full text -Chase My Creations

Bus users. If you see someone on a bus wearing a mask and you think, "I better go sit near them and breathe heavily," then know that you deserve urethral wasps.

Why have people forgotten how to use phones? Turning "speaker" on and shouting at it as you hold it in front of your face is *not* how it is fucking done. Nobody wants to be in your conversation except you and - possibly - the person you called*. Quit it! *although evidence throws doubt on this.

If you - or someone you know - needs a confidential chat about a comedian / author in the headlines, I’m here. It’s been a privilege to be trusted by so many people so far and I’ve never stopped working on this. Every story counts.

They just get him. They just get the core of the character.

Sometimes, the most virulent TERFery is driven by the fact that these rancid, bigoted women do not pass. A clocky TERF is the worst kind of TERF. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Did Netanyahu just say, "The world's most dangerous weapon"? Netanyahu *IS* the world's most dangerous weapon. "As the bible teaches us, hurt the other guy worse; and faster!" I guess the Old Testament is mostly shitty. Oh, well. Goodbye everybody. It wasn't fun. #IsraelIsATerroristState

If you're disabled, you don't have to: - explain why you claim benefits - justify how you spend your money - accept unsolicited advice - explain why you need your meds - share your medical details with anyone #DisabilityRebellion #WelfareNotWarfare #TakingThePIP #StopTheCuts #fight4life

Roger Foley has been speaking out about coercion within Canada's MAiD (medical assistance in dying) program for years. He's been pushed to access it, despite repeatedly telling hospital staff he doesn't want to die. He's had his accommodation for special lighting removed. Food & water restricted:

Whatever your personal beliefs on Assisted Dying, we should all be able to agree on 2 fundamentals: No means no. If a patient doesn’t want it, end of discussion. It should never be offered in lieu of care or social supports. If it is, it’s not compassion. It’s eugenics 🧵

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.
