The EHRC is going to continue to leak like a sieve as staff who signed up to be in a human rights organisation find themselves in a transphobia-enforcement body

So far the UK government has restricted access to:

- online mental health resources
- addiction recovery resources
- suicide prevention resources
- reproductive health resources.

Tell me again how that's supposed to keep children/teens safe?

Men will be like "I hate drag" and then gush about their favourite anime where a purple haired man in a sparkly leotard fights villains by shooting thumbtacks out of their fingernails or some bullshit

If a black woman says that the racism experienced by people with darker skin, on a daily basis, is different in magnitude and in nature to that experienced by those without darker skin, I'd say the decent thing to do is to show some fucking humility, step back, shut up, and listen to them.

Yup, totally fucked it. I used to regularly buy 12s direct from Berlin based labels on Bandcamp, for little more than it would have cost from Juno. Now with tax and postage you’re looking at £30+ for a single record. It’s madness, and the prices of those same records have shot up from Jump as well

It most certainly fucking isn’t down here 🥵😭💦

They will write '000s of words and invent a hundred strawmen to avoid just saying "I demand the unquestioned right to be a professional bigot"

did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

The view from Europe is honestly pretty unhinged right now, and I’ve spoken to a lot of people simply no longer willing to travel to the US given the wild ICE situation at the moment. My housemate literally cancelled his inferno plans for this year just this weekend because of this.

This made me snort my drink through my nose, but remains entirely true

Nothing makes me want to go record shopping less than record store day.

hear hear

The best way to be a ‘contributing member of society’ is by supporting the stuff your friends make, not getting a fucking job.

Yesssss 🙌🔥

Always be my favourite 🖤🖤🖤

I hear rumours that our record may be coming out on Friday 👀

Finally watched Hedwig last night and while I enjoyed it, I was surprised that it also kinda left me cold. I felt like I couldn’t properly get into it for some reason. Not sure I was ready for quite how sad it was, and think it had been built up by others love for it. May need a rewatch I guess.

Name and shame

Pretty sure I had a religious experience watching Warren Schoenbright at The Black Heart last night.

They should probably be your new favourite band. Absolute must see.

Fields of the Nephilim are peak Bathtime listening

Ok, you got me, this is a legit banger. It will never live up to the nostalgia of my love for all things Lush, but it comes damn close

Oooh, will have to check out HOH, cos thems fighting words 😆

NYC Union Square

😂

Twirling, skipping and lots and lots of dicks 💦

New place, what’s up. Slowly building again. Nice to see we can be gay as all fuck round ere tho 👀
