We are now called Jewdastine Action, take us to court cowards.
The 1823 Demerara Rebellion broke out at Plantation Success, led by a cooper named Jack Gladstone; named after the plantation owner John Gladstone.
John Gladstone was father to Prime Minister William Gladstone, who put compensation in his father's pocket so he could inherit it.
“We ended slavery”
1. The Haitian Revolution ended slavery you just did the administration. You didn’t save us, we violently resisted and you had no choice
2. The British government compensated slave owners for the loss of their "property"
3. You can’t take credit for “ending” something you started
We also turned down the invitation.

New video, in which the Leftist Cooks analyse annoying comments & the nature of insults, explore the idea of children as a disenfranchised cohort, and give an introduction to the fascinating anti-colonial world of philosophical Childism.
I sat in a room with Mary-Ann and, as an actual trans woman, heard her bigotry, and heard her try and gaslight myself and everyone else in the room about it.
I have seen the letters she signed supporting transphobic causes, I have seen her organisations oppose trans people's civil rights.
This isn't even subtle. Even Cass made a better attempt and deniability. Though she has now deleted her account.

As others have noted, Stephenson's transphobia did tend to surface when open letters opposing e.g. GRA reform circulated.
I am saying this as someone who was *also* very active in feminist politics in Coventry around the same time. Stephenson had to keep something of a lid on her transphobic views as they were not widely welcome within feminist organisations and meetings in Coventry.
Keir Starmer is going to let disabled people suffer in poverty while he builds weapons to bomb or participate in genocides and when the refugees come he will refuse them entry. What a cunt
the talking points may be American but I assure you the hatred isn’t particularly “foreign” and very much British-born
5/ The answer is not thicker skin, my friends. It’s also not keep calm and carry on. I hope you can speak out against the prejudice. I hope you can keep stating how ridiculous it is to blame immigrants for poverty and bad services. I hope you can be there to support those broken by such hostility.
Occasional reminder that “puberty blocking hormones” IS the comprise, to delay bodily changes that are hard to undo until the child is old enough in the estimation of bigots to decide on actual hormones. “Don’t ban puberty blockers” is the *bare minimum ask*

The EHRC plans to run sessions with stakeholders & MPs during the consultation period it’s announced. The input of those making submissions will not be heard within that exercise because it will be ongoing. Is the EHRC using those sessions to just sell its existing stance to business/lawmakers?
This, from the Legal Gender Recognition section if the Rainbow Map is particularly damning.
I wrote about the impact of the Supreme Court judgment on our community. You can read here:
NHS new service spec for trans children out:
It has so much:
Transphobia
Conversion abuse
Healthcare violence
Bad science
Weaponising of 'safeguarding' to attack trans kids
Invasive assessment
Denial of healthcare
Oppression
I've seen Wes Streeting boasting that he's improving trans healthcare in the UK because he's opening new centers. Do not let him get away with that. What he's doing is horrific. Cal is right, it's no different to what Trump is doing, it's just "politer"
Palestinian people who i have been moots with for a year keep disappearing and coming back and disappearing again because horrible people report them and bsky leaders condone it
A snippet from Dwayne Wade’s speech @ the 2023 NAACP Image Awards, celebrating his trans daughter & what she has taught him about fatherhood. Gabrielle Union-Wade then urged Black activists not to leave Black trans ppl out of their activism 🩷🩵 worth watching in full: m.youtube.com/watch?v=LhBw...
(That was after several treacherous local post offices told me lol not here though :) )
Banks can be a pain in the neck to get to with so fewer branches these days but I went to one to change a few last month and it was so quick & painless
Pmsl treason
the origin of the name Guybrush Threepwood is one of my favorite things in video games
they didn’t have a name for the Monkey Island protagonist at the time so they saved the sprite as “guy”
the file was a “brush” file in Deluxe Paint so the artist saved it as “guybrush.bbm”
and, well, it stuck
Organized by Gender Liberation Movement, ACT UP, and Trans Formative Schools, the rally had a sign language interpreter and rows of chairs for anyone needing them. About a third of attendees wore masks. I wove through the crowd taking pics of signs, trying not to get faces. 🏳️⚧️ #activism #LGBTQIA #NYC
