Needs to be repeated everywhere- 3 word slogans stick.

Our voting system just encourages it, completely relying on tactical voting to keep the ‘worst option’ out.

Starmer Plots Harder Line on Migration to Counter Farage Threat Prime Minister Keir Starmer is preparing tougher measures on immigration to stem a record flow of arrivals across the English Channel and stave off the threat posed by Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party a...

Just so depressing and tiring. Instead of why there is a need, tackling legal routes, positive outcomes and refocus on matters that need actual action/resolving www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Honestly what doesn’t

Headline from Pink News: "Labour minister says Tories should 'apologize' for pro-trans stance under Theresa May." Written by Chantelle Billson A image of Karin Smyth, the Labour minister in question, appearing on television.

I'm not voting for the "lesser evil." This is where the UK equivalent of "blue no matter" led to - the "socially liberal" Labour party demanding an apology from the Conservatives for being too pro-LGBT.

Noting Rowling’s vast financial success, Barker felt that Rowling’s newfound position of fame ought to exclude her from discussing trans rights. He added, “It really just seems redundant for a woman as successful, as validated in the world, as Ms Rowling, to be negative, to be disruptive if you will, to a very beaten up subculture. These are human beings. She has no right to opine, I think, upon the lives of human beings that she does not know.” “I feel very protective of people who are on the edge of our culture as gay people still are,” Barker continued. “And certainly transgender people are on the edge of our culture. And here you have one of the most successful people in the frigging world – Ms Rowling. Going after a very emotionally vulnerable portion of our culture. It just seems unnecessary and unfair.”

Clive Barker gets it.

Hate is no basis for your core identity. It can only destroy you. Just look at Trump. His core is made of hate and bitterness.
Love and openness is the only way

They don’t see trans men as a threat. I think some men feel scared by the idea of being attracted to trans women. I don’t get it at all- attraction is attraction surely? But they are full of hang ups

Here is one of the cats

What is this ‘recipe’ you speak of?

Don’t know how many of you are familiar with The Satanic Temple, but they do some good work.

And no, it’s not The Church of Satan. That’s a whole other story.

Yes, they are great. If I lived in the US I would join a congregation for sure

Gotta say … nah. Sorry. It doesnt look very appealing

Absolute pipe dream.

Most underrated pets. Everyone seems to hate their tails. To which i say … wait til you see their balls!

The mind games are awful though. What you have been through is tough - you must be so strong.

Conversion therapy and death threats- that is horrific. I am so sorry.
My mum is not as bad as that, we are just unable to have a relationship that works.
I didn’t tell my kid, they overheard a video call (our last) - I’d come out as NB to my mum the previous day. It did not go well.

Wow that is very heavy. It’s so sad you haven’t had her support through your transition. I hope your brother is strong enough to avoid the manipulation as well.
Eye of Sauron is so perfect, how apt.
Having kids is just one path of many.
My kid doesn’t like my mum after what they have observed.

The original photo needs no doctoring to tell you about the power balance between them - Putin is open, relaxed and confident and Trump is a meek and scolded child.

… some crazy new insight. And also made me determined to make my relationship with my kid entirely different

That’s awful. I hope you are able to draw a line and not get sucked in too much. Sometimes I feel like the best decision I ever made was moving across the country when I was 19 and not going back, although I don’t think she ever forgave me for that. Do you have kids?cos I felt like that gave me

You are speaking for me at this point. It’s uncanny. My kid says I am too forgiving
The thing is my mum is in her 70s now, I don’t want something to happen and for our relationship to be like this but I also can’t pretend the way she manipulates me is ok. Noone has ever made me as anxious. It sucks

I feel like you’re describing my exact situation. Sorry you’re going through it too. Realising you have reached your limit is a good thing though, there is only so much you can absorb

It’s hard to deal with a parent who has a pathological aversion to admitting they have ever been wrong. Where do you even go from there? Best of luck with it all

He’s had everything required to provide him and his family with everything they could ever want, through generational wealth. And yet he is the most bitter and pathetic individual, his greed and venality have robbed him of any joy. I could feel sorry for him if he wasn’t a sociopath
