well, today in floridly depressing news: the French helpline for female victims of male violence is facing "coordinated" attacks from men's rights activists, who keep calling up in the hope of making it harder for women to reach their services

Itβ€˜a pretty exhausting managing our own self supported needs and adjustments before being able to do what others do. And then when the finely balanced support structure occasionally fails, I know that I get frustrated with myself ”just it better!!!” πŸ˜‘

Listened to an @ioe.bsky.social podcast about Dyscalculia. It was interesting as someone with other Nurodiversities. One thing that especially struck me is how hard us Neurospicies work in the background just to mask, regulate & try to meet our own needs, just to do the actual work we need to do.

Lois speaks truth to power!
Last year she challenged Steve Reed to meet her at the football.

This year she's calling out Emma Reynolds on the lie that we need private investors to deliver our water.

RISING TRANSPHOBIA AGAINST CIS WOMEN How the transvestigation of Margot Robbie proves that bigots have officially lost the plot.

β€œA viral post claiming Margot Robbie is a dude is not just a flop. It is a scream for help from a group of people who have spent so much time hunting for biological clues they have forgotten what a real human looks like. The transvestigation has officially jumped the shark and it is eating its own.”

Netanyahu has been trying to go to war with Iran for decades. He's been lobbying American presidents on both sides of the fence. Donald Trump is just the first president stupid enough to be convinced by his fear mongering - Says Rep Sara Jacobs, whose family lives in Tel Aviv.

And Dubai is so racist. Both times i went for work, I was kept in the airport for hours whilst every piece of clothing was searched. They were looking for the most pathetic shred evidence to jail me, this is how ppl get caught out with scraps of forgotten weed in pockets

And for anyone who says 'Britain is just as bad, colonisers blah blah blah' oh please you have to turn many more blind eyes in Dubai than you do in this bin island. We can be confident that we live and work in buildings and use transport that labourers didn't die in their 1000s building for starters

Thank you to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for your clear support for the trans community. In a political climate where too many are stepping back, visible allyship from political leaders matters.

Here’s how we got here (and this is just today’s example):
- In 2015-2016 Trump+supporters in the US and Brexiters in the UK experimented with looking right down the camera at the public and knowingly lying. Not fibs, not spin, not errors of fact, but deliberate, premeditated, calculated lies.

That's interesting because when I worked for Duffield and she went full terf and our office was bombarded with homophobic and transphobic material nobody even asked if I was ok because it was all in support of her

I’ve never exactly been Starmer Stan even though he was my MP just over a decade ago.

However I am a little encouraged that at least our PM seems to have finally grown a some backbone.

Was in college teaching the Level 2s for 5 hours from 9am.They were really testing me today as they're stressed about GCSE retake mocks over the next couple of weeks and their show next week.

And now I've left planning tomorrow to a 10:30pm scramble. At least I'm not teaching until the afternoon!

West Midlands annual pedestrian deaths 'nearly double in four years' Figures show 48% of road deaths across the West Midlands last year were that of pedestrians.

The response must be a safe system approach, not guardrail. We emphasise subsequent lines in the report: "We are also assessing common contributory factors in pedestrian KSls to establish appropriate interventions", "excessive or inappropriate speed remains the most prevalent contributory factor".
