Every feminist I know supports their sisters, cis and trans, and their non-binary siblings, concerned with domestic violence, public safety, equal pay, employment protection, access to healthcare, and other discrimination issues. Obsessing over who uses which loo isn't feminism. It's bigotry.

You know the *only* reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure. Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

Meta deemed my books of "of no economic value" and used them to train their AI. Perhaps they are of no value to someone of Zuck's stature but they pay annual royalties that allowed my first child to attend college and will, I hope, allow my second to do the same. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/m...

Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up. I’ll add more as I find them. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Ugh, frazzled already due to waking up with a headache 😫 Really need this weekend to recharge and hope my mum is OK...

One of @fluxblog.bsky.social's latest playlists has The Power Fantasy relevance: 1980s Songs About Nuclear Destruction. It may answer why your fave example isn't on my playlist. Partially, that's not what my playlist is for. But mainly as there's sooooo many. fluxblog.substack.com/p/fluxblog-5...

If anyone wants a very well-written m/m hockey fic with no Real Players about pretty bad depression, nicely drawn characters, a hackneyed, well-played trope, and a happy ending, you might like: archiveofourown.org/works/63877126

This is where your Harry Potter money goes

This article is being blasted around the Fox News mediasphere to shame the chair of USA Fencing after a publicity stunt this week by an anti-trans fencer. I thought I'd share it too because it's actually awesome. thefencingcoach.com/2023/08/30/o...

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Well, the US has reached the point where Estonian media is starting to use the word "küüditamine", the word used for Soviet era mass deportations.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

"The world is full of voices telling adolescents they don’t matter and don’t understand anything, so a good YA book shouldn’t talk down to teens or portray them as helpless." I wrote about how writing and reading young adult fiction made me a way better adult author: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I don't remember the last time I was this emotionally invested

Americans! Yes, the tariffs make you look silly. Yes, we are laughing at you. Some tips on dealing with the humiliation, from Brexit Britain. We know your pain. - on.ft.com/42tt3kH

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

This is the single most frightening thing I’ve read in the past 80-odd days. They can eliminate a person’s ability to work and get health insurance, and already have. It’s a crime that must be prosecuted if we ever restore constitutional government… \1 wapo.st/4iyoWtX

1,100 pieces against trans people in just 4 papers over 1 year. Almost 1 a day per paper. With absolutely no recourse at all. Is it any wonder that trans people are both angry and terrified?

I'm going to tell the kids that this was the first escape room...

I just attended a conference in the US. We had one speaker detained and two others turned away at the border.

To the people who think racist authoritarians should be posting more on Bluesky: What the actual fuck is wrong with you, fuck off with that mealy-mouth "both sides" bullshit, thank you for your attention, now go fuck yourselves

“Starmer must not trade away our food standards as part of tariff negotiations. We are as indignant about American animal welfare as JDVance seems to be about the control of anti-abortion demonstrations outside UK clinics” So many reasons to focus on the EU, not the US. Letter of the week The Week

With apologies for being blunt. Every time I see a user name indicating someone online thinks an enlarged scrotum is something to boast about, I can only conclude they don't have a girlfriend/intimate partner to advise them to see a doctor and get that checked for a range of nasty possibilities.

I do not want your app. I do not want to register. I do not want your newsletter. And, from the bottom of my heart, I do not want your notifications. Please just let me buy what I need without entering into a long-term relationship with you, you freaky fucks.

As a life-long gamer with grey hairs in his beard now, I'm constantly amazed at the false discourse that ganes have become more expensive. MarioKart N64 was roughly £100 at release, adjusted for inflation. Cheap games is a false cultural memory. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ooof. It's amazing how a conversation from the early 80s can somehow reach four decades both into the past and the future.

Elon Musk is a foreign national and has installed backdoors into every computer system in Washington, DC 🙃

Colonel Susan Meyers of the US Space Force, stationed at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, was removed from her command after criticizing Vance’s unneeded and costly visit to Greenland. She stated her loyalty to the US and the law and not to politicians so Trump got rid of her.

Hear me out: Muppet Saw

Shower thought: just realised how much His Dark Materials has the same structure as a classic JRPG. First level: you and your cute animal companion sneak into a study! A childhood friend joins your party. Final level: you, your love interest and a motley crew kill God.

Oh sure. When WE put a tariff on Tea you lot rebelled. Now you're just out there tariffing it yourselves.
