so, stephanie turner—the fencer who took a knee & went on a media tour about it—cost a trans girl the chance to participate in society & did it for $5,000 cash, in addition to, i assume, paid speaking gigs with folks like riley gaines. this is grifting. turner is a grifter. also a garbage person.

Minimum wage for a 9-5 full time job (40 hours a week) is, as of today, £25,396 a year for anyone over 21. Which is why it's amazing to see journalism jobs requiring a degree, job experience, and driving licence advertised at a "competitive salary" of £22,380. tindlenews.co.uk/careers/jour...

Full page of anti-trans bullshit in today's Times. Did they put Kathleen Stock on the rack? Did they get out a scold's bridal? 'Medieval'. Absolute fucking state of her.

Ohhh I’d been wondering why Ant Middleton had gone full “anti-woke, fuck the government, I’m moving to Dubai”. He hadn’t paid his taxes and had been living off directors loans while trading insolvently!
