zohran mamdani just crushed a democratic primary against a former governor propped up by the right-wing money machine all while he pledged $65M to support access to healthcare for trans youth, fwiw

You're semi-regular reminder that SSRIs/antidepression, antipsychotic, and other mental health medications* can make heat even worse for yo. Stay safe, stay cool and covered, and stay hydrated. www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-...

If you don’t get why people were sucked into Qanon, yet you pay the blindest bit of attention to anything this account posts, you do get why people were sucked into Qanon.

The problem with playing Doom while waiting for a delivery is that everything sounds like someone knocking on the door

Morning! If you're getting a Switch 2 and not sure what to do with your old one, we're always happy to take them and have a waiting list of hospitals who are wanting one

Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵 First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

Every now and then I look up the lyrics to songs I've listened to a lot and I'm surprised. Now, I'm not sure what I thought yes! yes! a thousand times yes! by Home Is Where was about but erm, yeah …

We are especially interested at the moment in hearing from men and women, ideally stealth, whose employers are asking them to use the wrong toilets.

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

The AF League isn't on bluesky but I'm glad to be part of a league that immediately refused FA England's decision and will continue to include trans and non-binary players instagram.com/theafleague/

Football means everything to me. When I heard about this, I was beyond upset for those in Scotland and also what this can mean for trans in football across the UK. Don't let them take the beautiful game away from us. Its taken me 20 years to get back on the pitch and I won't let it be taken away

When you find yourself saying something like "the average person doesn't know the difference between a graduate visa and a small boat", an objectively very funny sentence, it should be a prompt to take a step back and reconsider your position

I check the little screen, I check the big screen, I check the watch screen, I check the tablet screen. I check the screen that reminds me of the good times, I check the screen that reminds me of the better times.

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community. We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect? Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

It’s easy to feel like it’s us versus everybody in the aftermath of news like today, but these things don’t necessarily reflect how the people around us actually feel. Like, this happened only 2 months ago.

Write to your goddamn MPs, stand with your trans neighbours, watch the films of Alice Maio Mackay.

No transphobic court ruling, no bigot in charge of NHS, no billionaire media can indefinitely hold back the fierce tides of love and joy and courage that is queer community and solidarity. These are the desperate gasps of a dying era, one we will survive. Love & solidarity, today and every day 🏳️‍⚧️

Sometimes games reviews are worth reading whether you play games or not (and whether you might play the game in question or not). This might be one of those.

i have been saying! blog.vbuckenham.com/keep-your-mo...

Probably worth bringing this up again given the ridiculous World Athletics decision

Reminder that a) the tests they want to use are not effective at measuring sporting advantage b) the tests are not actually reliable enough at testing karyotype either c) sex testing has been long understood to enable human rights abuses

There are trans and queer kids for whom online spaces are their only refuge. Art kids who hone their craft via online spaces. Weird kids who find their people. The trick is not to ban it. It’s to regulate it and educate kids about it. But that’s much harder and more expensive so here we are.

Hello, it's my birthday today. For it, you should buy a book for a trans person: penfightdistro.com/product-cate...

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting. This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity. These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.

I don't know what I expected from the new clipping. album but of course the intro is Daveed rapping over modem connection sounds. It seems so obvious now.

Paul Verhoeven is one of the only filmmakers to correctly predict how fucking stupid and tacky modern American fascism would be.

I fully understand if trans people feel like giving up on sport altogether but there are teams, clubs and groups out there that will welcome you with open arms Here's a bunch of trans-welcoming places to play football in and around Manchester (let me know if you're elsewhere and I can ask around)

This whole saga is kind of weird, and I'm rather confused how a publisher that crowdfunded its expenses has managed to go into administration. To be noted, Unbound weren't paying royalties by the end, and that is a big old nope.

Can't forget about all the trans people who keep the internet up & running

Labour MPs saying “the clue is in the name” to justify benefit cuts is wildly disingenuous. It co-opts Labour’s history to imply all those that cannot physically labour are somehow excluded from the cause. Being pro-worker does not require being anti-unemployed or anti-disabled. It never did.

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

TRANS DAY OF STAYING IN AND HAVING A NICE BOOK! returns for 2025. Are you a trans person living in the UK? Would you like someone to buy you a book of your choice for TDoV? The request form is now open: forms.gle/z7VuSDFU5AcL...

These are both excellent. Highly recommended.

Manager: "What's this milestone 'Living on a prayer' ?" Me: "That's the documentation deliverable." Manager: "What's the status of that?" Me: "We're halfway there" Manager: "Why is progress so slow?" Me: "You fired Tommy" Manager: "So?" Me: "Tommy used to work on the docs"

You can buy any book you are looking for on the internet. But we need physical, independent bookshops because that is where you discover the books you were not looking for, and never knew you needed.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth
