kyle mclachlan in blue velvet is soooo dyke/twink synthesis
SIAMO TUTTI TRANSESSUALI to the rhythm of siamo tutti antifascisti *bangs drums*
ftr as a teenager on tw*tter I asked andrew w.k. to change his merch shirt descriptions from gendered ones to fitted/loose fit, and he did it. ally!

![Mobile. Like his bandmate Shane Lynch, Graham had worked as a mechanic before finding fame as a singer;[4] Lynch has stated in an interview that during the early days of Boyzone, he and Graham had a heated argument over exhaust pipes and barely spoke to each other for fifteen years.[5]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wciquzaqjwhvam3mdtzxqsyp/bafkreif5i6viduyqdku6v5l4bnb5wgsnecx2mvyyngscvzk6nk2i2eqooi)

"During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night.
The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for."
i could not give one single fuck about immigration and never have my entire life. to care, even in a ‘reasonable’ oh there should be proper checks and balances way is to be, rudely, the dumbest person alive. literally what difference is it to you
Using a photo of a disabled, autistic woman violently dragged from her car on the way to a doctor's appointment with this headline certainly is a choice.
There’s this kind of holier-than-thou tendency to dismiss people’s observations of the world coming apart at the seams by referencing past evils and derisively sneering, “Where have you been?/You’re just now noticing this?” that I think is almost never constructive or helpful.
Literary criticism needs crisis, feeds on it, even as we let it mislead us.

We've written & published a short summary statement regarding the Sandie Peggie V NHS Fife Health Board employment tribunal case & the judgment given yesterday. Much of the media coverage has missed key information, the most important aspect being that all claims against Dr Beth Upton were dismissed
Me, in The Guardian today:
"This is a moment that requires bravery in standing up for what is right. Organisations that value trans people should know not just that the law is on their side – but so, also, are many people who will step up to defend them if they have the courage to take a stand."
