After Ian Curtis’ funeral in 24 Hour Party People, Tony Wilson passes by guy in the street who quotes Boethius at him - “Mutability is our tragedy, but it's also our hope. The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away." The sound of Wilson’s response - “I know” - lives in my head.

You have the Tories being the Tories. Labour trying to be worse. Reform lying constantly. Lib Dems avoiding any form of seriousness and senior Greens saying discrimination is just a "different point of view". I work in politics and have no faith in it. Why does anyone think the general public would?

YES HA HA HA YES

So important ➡️ In 2016 when North Carolina issued a ‘bathroom bill’, similar to what is happening in the UK right now, our Conservative government issues a travel warning to LGBTQ+ people. They recognised North Carolina was not a safe place for LGBTQ+ people. Our MPs need this spelled out to them.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

Depending on the day, I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man, If I Was Your Girlfriend or The Cross, which I dig for its gothic grandiosity despite being, you know. Quite Jesus-y. What we’re learning here is that Sign O’ The Times is a hell of an album.

And now, our 100th video. All rise: Carly Rae Jepsen - "Run Away with Me" (2015) The other video that inspired this account. I thought I was going to post twenty of these at most, I can think of no better video to commemorate this milestone. Are there any more to find? Who knows

One thing you can guarantee as the new antitrans consensus takes hold across the UK is that there will be absolutely no decline in the prevalence of women being sexually assaulted, and absolutely no increase in the successful prosecution of such assaults.

To remain safe in bathrooms all I have to do is simply show my vagina to anyone who questions my femininity. Thank you for keeping me safe from male predators LGB Alliance

I gasped. My god!

I'm wheeeeezing

I will grant that I'm not a politician & am not au fait with all the complexities of legalities & strategies. But at some point these guys have to start asking themselves what they're in politics *for*. If you can't at least stand up for the marginalised, then what on earth are you doing?

I mean I’m spoiled for choice. But this was my gut reaction. God bless you, Watford’s own (Pinner’s own) Saint Reg. youtu.be/DtVBCG6ThDk?...

25, 000 people protest for trans rights. Media, nothing. One person uses chalk to write on a statue. Media, front page. Thousands of GCs abuse trans people online every day. Media, nothing. 10 GCs turn up for a protest. Media, front page.

I would like to point out that in Ireland, the law has allowed people to self-identify for about ten years, and it’s been . . . fine. Society has not collapsed, public toilets are not battle zones, Harry Potter isn’t banned. People just got on with their lives. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

why improve people's lives when you can simply stoke up some more racists to appease with racist policies

going to judgily describe everything everyone does for the next couple of weeks as "popeless behaviour"

Okay, had someone demanding to know if a one-reel silent film passed the Bechdel Test, so once more from the top... The Bechdel Test is not a measure of a film's feminism. It is an intentionally low bar designed to show how little women have to do in modern movies.

Look at the headline. Look at the sub-head. This is the direction of travel now. Overt white-supremacism in the UK "quality" media. We told you so, you fucking fools.

You get a lot of centrist YIMBY types going on about planning and "get government red tape out the way and just build build build!" but impossible to look at this graph and draw any conclusion other than "oh, shit, the shortfall is just state housing"

hate that I have to keep re-upping this, but STUDY AFTER STUDY has shown that TRANS PPL POSE NO THREAT to cis ppl in restrooms & other sex-segregated spaces, those studies are detailed in this essay: juliaserano.medium.com/transgender-... which has been adapted into this video: youtu.be/nK41ePuOmzY

“Pray tell. The Baron, what sort of gentleman is he?” “Well…”

It’s weird how you can accomplish things by simply trying to do them

We shouldn't human traffic guilty people to foreign death camps, either, actually.

They want all trans people gone from every aspect of society. There’s no “gotcha” here you can pull out, they want trans people eradicated, and all of their decisions and talking points align perfectly with that.

I’m struggling a lot with feeling worthy of the space I take up in the world. I don’t post on social media any more, I can’t even leave a comment on a YouTube video because I can’t imagine anyone would ever have the slightest interest in my opinion. I feel boring and stupid and ugly and empty.

That “listen to women” thing transphobes always drag out of the cliche box is horseshit. It’s just more policing everyone regardless of gender. It’s insidious, a way to insult trans women and cis women both. No one is using that shit in good faith. Good on you.
