Bully Gender Critical nurse Sandie Peggie’s hatred of trans people burned so deep there were concerns she might LEAVE patients in the RESUSCITATION AREA if a trans doctor - simply doing her job - walked in. Disgusting. Yet Peggie is the one portrayed… www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2e9...

Things I think folks can learn to say, get comfortable saying, and show others are okay to say, that would genuinely improve the state of the world: "I didn't know that" "I was wrong" "What does that word mean?" "Can you explain this?" "I don't think I understand" "I don't know" "I'm confused"

You’d think ‘Dr’ Stock was a medical doctor from this Times piece, diagnosing people remotely on a subject she knows nothing about. Actually she’s a jumped-up Literary Fiction terf lecturer from a provincial uni. Such is the deception aimed at trans people.

Would really love the centrists and FBPE types to look into Fry’s comments defending transphobia and his friendliness with literal fascists and white supremacists before lauding him here. He’s part of the problem, and so is your uncritical lionising of him.

Your regular reminder that the more often you own your mistakes, the easier it gets. It is like any muscle-- work it more and it gets stronger. All people mess up, and sometimes we do so publicly. It's not the end of the world to acknowledge that we missed the mark; it's how we clean up.

truly wild that plenty of centre-left parties would be too cowardly to use this slogan which should be entirely uncontroversial for any nominally left party (looking at you, Labour)

Did you know there’s a whole spectrum of stuff in between “spend all weekend cleaning your house” and “don’t do anything at all because it’s so overwhelming”? Wipe down one counter. Put away half a load of laundry. Vacuum one room. You can do a little bit, and it helps! And then you can stop!

When I worked at DreamWorks, one of the directors told me “Music is at the top of the pop culture waterfall. It feeds into fashion, graphic design, TV, movies… if you don’t keep your music knowledge up to date, other aspects of your art will start to feel dated too.”

Kudos to Gov. Janet Mills of Maine for standing up to Trump. He threatened loss of federal funds for her state simply because it allows trans girls to play in sports. She said, “See you in court.” Trump is a weak, shallow, callous leader who wants desperately to be a despot. #BullyPolPot

I would say remotely competent historians understand that major events in history are historically shaped by men born into wealth and power and lots of them were idiots. (Caligula: psychopathic dumbass!)

Trans people deserve respect, happiness, protection, healthcare, basic human rights. Those who dehumanize and demonize trans people are hateful tyrants.

Working on accessibility is even more important now than ever. Keep pushing accessibility forward, no matter the barriers. Every effort matters, no matter how small.

The MAGA clout goblins can't BELIEVE we could possibly be offended at all their Nazi salutes, such soft lefty cucks we are, when less than five years ago they were LOSING THEIR MINDS over people taking the knee after the murder of George Floyd.

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s obsession with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Reminder for my mutuals: misgendering is violence and never okay. No, not even if it is done to "people who deserve it". If your willingness to use the correct pronouns or name for someone depends on if you like them then you're not a safe person to be around. Same if you tolerate when others do it.

LRT- Twin Peaks making the atomic bomb the original sin that let BOB and other entities into our world was a stroke of genius. Kudos to @markfrost.bsky.social and David Lynch.

Watching Part 8 of Twin Peaks: The Return blind was mind-blowing. A beautiful and terrifying look at the duality of the world: serene and chaotic, light and dark, dream and nightmare, good and evil. Oppenheimer was great, but it didn’t have a Nine Inch Nails concert AND a nuke.
