LRT: not enough people know that the Nordic countries have traditionally been really, really bad for trans people. IIRC Sweden still required sterilisation *and* the destruction of any frozen eggs/sperm before trans people could legally change gender/sex up to 2012. Direct continuation of eugenics.

I am the proud mom of a Transgender (adult) child. He is visible to me. 🏳️‍⚧️

Are all government accounts on X just troll accounts now? This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committee—the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.

This is a cold, hard, war crime. There is no other serious way to look at it. It needs more than just some soundbite "oh we don't approves" from world leaders. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Not one of the political parties in the Northern Ireland Assembly who claim to be our "friends" have said a fucking thing about Trans Day of Visibility. Not a thing. And that includes the SDLP, and PBP.

Imagine believing your child was “killed” just because they don’t identify with the sex they were born with. A real father would love their child unconditionally.

No pile on, no "far left thuggery" no cancelling. But this. This is unfortunately what Garron left himself open to when he published that video. The left didn't "cancel" Garron, but they recognised exactly what would happen in the wake of his words. And they were correct.

i do find it weird how many 'elite, respectable' commentators feel the need to announce that they would have been a sexual predator in middle school, they just couldn't figure out how

Seeing thousands of federal workers being fired without cause in the U.S. & wondering what on earth their unions are doing? Puzzled why there is not a ballot for strike action? Labour protections there are weakened to the point where it’s a *felony* for a federal employee to engage in strike action.

Look i can't in good conscience tell you to go out & find all the badly rendered rule 34 shrek/bee movie jpegs and 3D animation that exists and then upload it to this anti-"DEI" gov website because I don't think anyone should have to put themselves through that, but i can't really *Stop* you, either

damn dude that was incomprehensible but good luck with being divorced & sucks you’re in a k-hole or whatever

This is interesting and something to take hope from

Brain Worm Fuck RFK JR today on the Measles Outbreaks In Texas: "It is not unusual. There are measles outbreaks every year." Fact: No there fucking is not. It is actually very unusual. And this is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years. Stupid anti-vaxxer motherfucker

Bertie Ahern hearing about the Romanian politician arrested with millions in cash stashed under his floorboards and getting all misty eyed

Love to become a subservient vassal state for a dying authoritarian nation with 90% lower GDP than your own, to own the libs

Musk just lost... checks notes... David Icke

Joe Rogan is as evil as he is unfunny. No wonder we failed as a country. That one person listens to his garbage white wing radio show is inexcusable.

Taking a moment to thank the ancestors. They gave us the tools to overcome anything thrown our way and find joy. ♥️

Even if UK left ECHR it would still be bound by other international obligations & treaties. Simple fact is if you want to give yourself a completely free hand internationally you would also have to withdraw from Refugee Convention & United Nations Convention Against Torture - just think about that

Working theory: Musk is attempting to implement Chaos Engineering on the government. When you implement chaos engineering at a software company, a few servers go down, you lose a bit of revenue. When you do it to a government, people die.

Normalise authors reviewing their own books.

Great value on Irish history books in @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social Margaret Skinnider and Henry Joy McCraken for the price of two large bars of chocolate.....

when did they stop calling the AFD “far right”?

the boys are alt-right

#ResistanceRoots #Voices4Victory #BlackHistoryMonth Nina Simone was born on this day in 1933 in Tryon, N.C. Denied admission to a music school because of her race, Simone went on to a successful career as a singer, songwriter and pianist, using music to express her civil rights activism. /1

I've seen an old misunderstanding going around; that libraries don't benefit authors. But they do! A lot! Here's how:

I've resigned from the UK Society of Authors

Help me hive mind! It's our 18th wedding anniversary next month, is a personalised bottle of champagne a weird gift to buy my husband? The traditional gift is porcelain, and I've got that sorted, but this was a half formed idea based on the marriage being legally old enough to drink. Daft or not?

There are people celebrating that Pride was removed from “official” celebrations by this administration. Saying things like “Pride is canceled!” Oh honeybuns. As if we needed your permission when Pride started as a riot 🏳️‍🌈 We’ll simply be going back to our roots 🧱

I bet on my life that he's "Gender Critical" and has churned out a load of anti trans garbage
