Not to jack off a president and his brother too much,

but it's a little upsetting to me that when history books happen after the current period all the school children will learn about the Kennedy family as primarily the one that produced this Fascist Regime's, like, famine guru

if you give a mouse a cookie

Maybe it's the handcuffs but he's kind of a bit 🫣 huh!

also always deeply funny that every sci-fi video game from 1999-2014 was trying to be Aliens, and copied everything except the...working class woman protagonist

This whole so-called “parents rights” movement the right has taken up and the left is supposed to kowtow to for votes is so obviously anti-child it really bothers me to see it presented as anything other than justification for abusive “parenting” and disregard for actual science on child development

It took me the last 4 days-to-a-week

I've finally caught up on everything I was avoiding, all my emails from the last two months and all the tasks I was meant to get done,

everyone say Good Job Lucy 😭

HADLEY FREEMAN Wes Streeting must stand up to the ADHD activists I can help with the minister's review: some people are just confused by life Hadley Freeman

As the trans community have known for a while now - the definition of activist is someone who dares to state they exist

Until the castle lady is dead and ashes in the ground reclamation of hp is not possible without feeding back into the anti-trans fascist pipeline she Andrew wakefield-ed into modern existence.

Of all the writeups I've read on horses, this one feels like it's engaging with the combination of Text and Moment the most specifically, the most thoroughly. Really good read.

Law school cost me $190,000.

I have paid $206,000 since graduation.

I now owe $223,000.

I pay $830 per month, and next year it will be more.

I genuinely believe law school student loans are designed to make pro bono representation impossible.

Unless you're reading this from your private jet, the same system is oppressing us all.

About a month left before this bill comes due, and 84% funded, please help us get over the line if you can so we can stop stressing about it!!

I'm going to be real with everyone, Olivia being a fixer for RFK Jr, killing negative stories about him, coordinating with the Trump campaign to get RFK connected, etc, while covering all of them, is worse than Trump calling a reporter piggy.

Decision in the Sandie Peggie case.

She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

romantasy reader: how DARE you criticize our important genre, you amab socialized manly man woman!
romantasy novel: he did a torture on me. he did a torture real bad. but I was strong, and wet. it took 75 more pages and 12 content warnings yet somehow no descriptions. my womb then taught him to love

An underrated factor in why folks ain't buying the whole "you must vote for this slightly less obvious rancid bigot" schtick anymore is that there's a major, ongoing example across the Atlantic of libs and centrists rapidly and vindictively enforcing fascism.

HR departments countrywide need to start treating gendercrit employees as potentially hostile. As soon as you are required to interact with one, you dust off the rulebook, you dot every eye and cross every t, and you assume bad faith at every turn.

They are a threat to every organisation.

“He didn’t have the money, so they paid for him to get some black market oestrogen,” Fiona said. “He got it sent to a friend who passed it on at school. And he managed to get shots and syringes from an STD clinic.” Experts are increasingly concerned that an illicit trade in black market cross-sex hormones is thriving as the NHS clamps down on prescriptions of the drugs for fear of long-term side effects.

The Times yesterday, on how trans kids, denied the healthcare they need, are buying black market hormones.

Of course, this is *exactly* what everyone said would happen. And its risks are dramatically amplified by Streeting telling GPs they must stop offering blood tests.

"ugh, uber/DD drivers are so LAZY, none of them will match with my order and my food gets cold"

Base pay just got dropped to $1 per delivery in a ton of markets and y'all aren't tipping. Gas costs $4. Feel some shame.

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

From the press summary: www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...

one of the main reasons trans healthcare moved away from strict gatekeeping and toward informed consent & GAC is that trans ppl who were denied the means to transition would simply seek it out elsewhere

it's a mistake to compare the cost of your newsletter or podcast to a cup of coffee. that cup of coffee is the best treat i'm allowed to have every single day. no podcast is comparable to the beverage that justifies staying alive. instead market your newsletter as two thirds of a sweetgreen salad

The real victim at the centre of this absurd case is very clearly Dr Beth Upton

To witness the way in which she’s been dehumanised and vilified by Peggie and their (Sex Matters) legal team, the tribunal judge, the British media, and UK politicians has been beyond horrifying

Solidarity Beth

🙄

You'd never know it from these headlines that she lost all her claims on the actual substance of the case, claiming that trans people must be banned from bathrooms.

Screenshot of a paragraph from the judgment, with the final sentence highlighted: “797. After that comment the court explained that a person with gender reassignment as a protected characteristic could pursue a claim of direct or indirect discrimination, or of harassment, if the circumstances so warranted. There was no qualification to it to the effect that that was not applicable in, for example, the context of a single sex space under Part 5 of the Act. If their decision had been that all trans persons must be excluded from the changing rooms or toilets for the sex they identify with because it was not the sex assigned at birth, and may also be excluded from the changing rooms or toilets of their biological sex, that in our view certainly does impact on their rights under section 7.”

Today’s judgment in the Sandie Peggie case says exactly what we have been saying – For Women Scotland does not require a trans bathroom ban:

Mini thread on the ET decision in Peggie

Top line: It says exactly what we have been saying for months. The decision of the Supreme Court was not to turn the Equality Act 2010 into a nationwide bathroom ban - regardless of how anti-trans organisations have sought to misrepresent the law.
