Tune in for our Ùna talking about occult women doing the damn thing (occulting)

Got of morning from my good friend Sappho 🥰

More pertinently: which monster is the hottest, how would you decorate your cavernous lair, and wtf Clive Barker said "Alberta? It needs monster socialism most of all".

Today on #BetwixtTheSheets, I am talking about the history of the BMI and fat phobia with the awesomely awesome Professor Amy Farrell. shows.acast.com/betwixt-the-...

This is a great short video on how small acts help us build to greater ones

I love my neurodivergent therapist but jesus christ we need to figure out how to actually both show up to the appts we make.

If the US blocks access to HRT, ADHD drugs, and SSRIs, I cannot begin to describe to you how much all of the tech sector will screech to a halt. The internet is built and maintained by trans people, people with chronic depression, and the neurodivergent. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Labour aren't beating the nazi allegations

Got tricked into going to a SUTR meeting & was fobbed off when asking "can't we just respond to Nazis as a neighbourhood?" Wouldn't be such a huge deal if they weren't using fash leafletting our burg as an opportunity to promote themselves. No solutions, no support, just LOOK AT US! WE'RE SO GREAT!

The Night Hag Visiting Lapland Witches (1796) H. Fuseli

I've got mine, so retweet+like to get yours?

There are many takes on the William Carlos Williams original of this poem but this one sounds most like it is being spoken by someone from Leeds.

I'm no medicalist, but I feel very strongly that getting picked up by 1 leg (at a time) and slammed against a wall (back to wall) might just be the ticket to put my hips to right.

Due soon: Abstracts for the 11th Annual International Weight Stigma Conference by Feb. 23 weightstigmaconference.com/abstract-sub... { #WeightStigma #HAES #BodyLiberation }

This is absolutely crucial advice. Read it. Read it again. Repeat it to yourself. Do not allow yourself to be overloaded. OVERLOAD IS A DELIBERATE TACTIC.

New #WriterBeware blog post: a look at the UK's proposed change to copyright to allow AI companies to train on creative works without permission, with writers' only remedy being to opt out--and why you should care, even if you're not a UK citizen writerbeware.blog/2025/01/31/t...

Breaking news: beloved local nun turns out to be elderly dog wrapped in cozy blanket. "I just like to be snuggly," says what some are calling "27kg of lies."

Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action. If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.

The safest European country for trans people these days is Spain. The Spanish state guarantees each refugee free legal assistance and an interpreter for the duration of their asylum application. If you're a USA trans refugee headed this way, your European friends WILL do our best to support you.

Every time you use chatGPT or some other generative AI to dunk on it or show how wrong it is, an artist loses her job

Fuck ever living in the closet again, this is heartbreaking:

It's a bad time for trans people now, and it's a bad time for trans literature Buy trans books, leave reviews Support trans authors If you can't afford a book right now, then follow them on social media and amplify their voices Here's a starter pack to start you off Trans authors ask to be added

#FreeLuigi and get me my meds

This reads to me not like "lifestyle choices" but "things people with ADHD do to self-medicate" and ableism. We need more than medication. Also, fuck off with this, UCL & Bradford. Only use data with adequate info or don't use the data at all.

"People with highly stigmatized, poorly supported disability dying younger than non-disabled counterparts" Great use of time and money, UCL & Bradford. You could have at least tried to sort out whether better access to care (and access to holistic treatments) led to better outcomes.
