Not a bot. PoFi friend. Cats. Other stuff. Mainly for me to read other bluesky posts rather than create my own.

Vile betrayer, undeserving of rest.

May she never sleep again, and be kept forever awake and toiling with conscience by a stream of her own venomous misuse of words, unrelentingly dripping back into her own head so cannot forget why.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you β€” no matter where you are on your journey.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

Here is a thing that I hear from *almost every British Jew I know* but have barely heard expressed in any of these programmes: No single person has done more to make Jewish people globally less safe than Benjamin Netanyahu.

My favourite thing about JK Rowling claiming she lived through poverty is the state provided her with a one-bedroom flat which she always refers to as β€œa glorified bedsit”. The β€œglorified” bit is: a separate bedroom and living room.

Trans health care "skeptics" lost a key allyβ€”now they're having a meltdown The godfather of evidence-based medicine on rejecting anti-trans "misuse" of his work.

This is really great reporting from Mother Jones - the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine disavows the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine for misusing his work. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Self identifying as autistic is legitimate.

Denying this is violence and comes from a place of deep privilege.

If just five or six more countries join the eurovision boycott (and the already out countries stay out), they will have to drop down to a single semifinal and i have no idea what the financial consequences would be of one less evening of programming but i find the possibility very funny

It is pretty amazing to see people go from β€œthe left is the enemy of democracy and must be purged” to β€œwho can really know why good kids do bad things?”

You’re not β€œtoo intense”.

You just live in a world that rewards numbness.

You’re not β€œtoo sensitive”.

You just feel - in a culture built on suppression.

You’re not β€œtoo rigid”.

You just have boundaries that others never had to fight for.

I could never have imagined, before I started doing this work, that I would come to believe what I now do: in the sheer ugliness, venality and dishonesty, of Britain's media and institutions and politicians. They literally do not give a fuck. Sorry to those who know I should have got here sooner.

Please try to be nice to yourselves. You deserve the world.

Things suck right now, but you can survive it. This too shall pass. There WILL be a future. There WILL be a place for you.
