That final stretch, that crucial minute of microwave energy that transforms your oats and milk into porridge. It’s important. Important that you don’t fool yourself that sixty seconds is enough time to dry the pots whilst it cooks. That you don’t delude yourself about efficiency and time well spent.

"The fantasy of "trans" manhood" The pursuit of maleness undermines a healthy attitude towards the female body Artillery row by Eliza Ramsey, 1 September, 2025

Let's do a live thread reading of this article. I normally don't do this, but it's important to unpack antitransmasculinity in depth and give it name. This isn't a rare occurrence, for stuff like what this article is saying to go around, and we need to stop minimizing the damage it does

yay! I’ve made it with a month to go!

had the absolute best Empire weekend of my life just gone - now my character is having a past life vision next summit and I am simultaneously excited and terrified of who he used to be, yippee!!!

Good morning Bluesky !

Xavier transitioned and became Vivian Jenna Wilson. She is alive and well and lives in Japan.

No loving parent would ever write such a disgusting thing as this, and it speaks volumes.

Don't Hesitate, by Mary Oliver. If You suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate. Give in to it. It. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that's often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.

My wife shared this today. She is the best.

God I’m struggling again, oh boy, oh heck, oh beans

That so many left intellectuals are not morally offended by racism or sexism is a problem.

Adolf Hitler was treated by many of his opponents as a crazy liar. This conceptual laziness, perpetuated by so many antifascists at the time of the Holocaust, contributed to Nazi success. By dis- E P I L O G U E [ 103 ] missing Hitler as a pathetic, impulsive charlatan, they could ignore that he coldly planned war and genocide while generating a wide consensus about these among the German population. As Hitler created new realities, he made the world look more and more like the lies he was telling.

Tweet from Scott Jennings, saying "um, yes, that's really a problem," with a quoted image saying "The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality right-wing content. That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well. In essence, people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly aren't usually on our side."

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

Poor baby 😭

You can’t pour from an empty cup. You can’t help if you’re burned out. Rest up, lovely. ❤️

Sean Gallagher @WhatAboutClass tweets, “hard for me to see gender as biological if it requires a police state to enforce it"

BOOM, there it is 🎯

Line plot showing percent agreeing that the best way to run the country would be to have a strong leader who does not have to bother with parliament or elections. The data show that Gen Z are the least likely to agree with the statement.

We've asked the 'Strong Leader' question eight times in the British Election Study Internet panel since 2016. Not only is the % of Gen Z supporting dictators much lower than reported by the Times (13% in 2024 vs 52%). Gen Z are the *least* likely generation to support a strong leader.

At this point, if I get picked up by aliens, I'm just going to go ahead and consider it a rescue mission instead of an abduction.

"Check on your trans frie-" No. Give them money. Hire them. Buy them a video game.

Are you okay if I share this link with the Warhammer / mini painting channel on a discord server I’m on? I know they’ll have a look through

I work in a frontline charity job and it’s tough to handle so I try and keep my social media a whimsy filled space because that’s what brings me joy.

That doesn’t mean I don’t care, don’t take action, and don’t do things to help. It just means I am protecting my own joy, smh.
