Effectively Weird

Transphobia is repackaged misogyny. All of it. Always has been. The “transphobic feminism” movement is just a way to make turkeys gladly vote for Christmas.

And here I am on the opposite end with aphantasia 😭

PSA to neurotypicals - asking “why” is not arguing. “Here is how a thing is.” “Why?” Is not an argument. It’s a request for more information. Why is the thing that way? Teach me.

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately.

Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

As if CR's subs arent bad enough. Also just heard that season 3 of One Punch Man has got some blatant AI in its visuals (we're talking extra fingers and everything)

Ours doesn't have a bin and there's no way out except through a checkout (you have to go through barriers just to get into the store). It doesn't stop shoplifting either as we saw a bloke get tackled by security last week AFTER the barriers 💀

They're always broken and they make it impossible to leave without buying something first. Every time I see them I can't help but wonder how much of a problem they'll be in a fire, too

Wait.. he's a robot?

I hear this everyday, and such is the danger of this “expert advice” of “just rest and engage with special interests and you’ll be good”.

No.

Burnout isn’t caused only by pushing too far. It’s about not having too many needs go unmet.

We need to slowly reveal more needs and have them fulfilled.

Finally someone said it! I get so mad when I see "just rest" posts for burn out. I dont work, I spend as much time as possible stimming and doing things I love.. how can I possibly rest MORE? Existing is burning me out and I can't rest from that

Your art made me love Kobolds ❤️

Autism + 6 month wait for NHS appointment + turning up at the wrong location = violent meltdown in hospital reception, 5 concerned nurses and a free ride to the correct location, apparently

not all autistic meltdowns look the same - even in the same person

Ramping Up Rights | Hurst Publishers A 100-year history of enraging injustices and inspiring campaigns: the fight for British disability rights isn’t over.

My book Ramping Up Rights aims to arm disabled people with our history and how we fought, so that we can still fight today. The gov and media want disabled people to feel isolated, because we are so strong when we come together - and that terrifies them.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I find it mind boggling that people are so excited to put themselves out of a career like that

I think about this frequently. I've kept rats since I was little and the guilt I feel over the early years is unbelievable 💔

As others have said, it would require a huge overhaul to get GPs actually upto scratch. GPs are the GateKeepers of more than just trans stuff and are often massive bigots who dont WANT to help certain people. Its nice in theory but would need a lot of extra work to implement usefully

I had something similar a few weeks back. Nearly ended up in hospital from the coughing. Tests came back negative but Im not convinced 😭

I would like it very much if people could please stop calling our administration “psychotic”

people experiencing psychosis are generally MUCH nicer & far less dangerous than this administration

It hurts some of my favorite people’s feelings &/or is unfair to them

thank you in advance 🫶🏻

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

The EHRhas sent a new draft Code of Practice which would lead to the exclusion of trans people from public life.

The decision now is up to this government, will they sign a trans bathroom ban in secret?

I would like to point out that the Royals protected him for YEARS, paying his legal fees with taxpayer money etc. They didn't remove this powerful predator "immediately" by any stretch of the imagination.
