Sometimes antifacism, sometimes community care, mostly logistics. https://performativenuance.online/

Realise this seems basic, and I'm not a solicitor and this is not legal advice but: when a court sends you documents, it's a good idea to read them all the way through and follow them to the letter.

Some good news: My landlord sued me and then completely failed to file any evidence against me, resulting in his case getting thrown out. And me getting my deposit plus costs back.

A crumple zone for a train, which is hundreds of times heavier and much faster, would be impractically long. So you build it strong enough to resist hitting something lighter than it without crumpling. And deal with hitting heavier things with other methods(like signaling and steel rails).

A crumple zone slows a car down as it comes to a stop when it hits an immovable object or an object of similar mass coming the other way. It's maybe 30cm of crumple on a vehicle that weighs a couple of tons and moves at ~100kmph maybe.

People see the scars. But they see you, too, and you aren't the scars. You aren't ugly. You aren't evil. You are Therru, and beautiful. You are Therru who can work, and walk, and run, and dance, beautifully, in a red dress.

I tried to be good and write something which is actually about finding an org which gives you what you want, rather than a deranged anarchist tirade, hopefully this is useful.

Before you join a socialist party I’m probably a bit late writing this, but it’s freshers week and young people I care about are messaging me going β€œshould I join X party” and I think my advice is probably generalisable.

People keep asking me if they should join this left org or that socialist party, and it's especially bad around now, with everyone recruiting freshers, so I wrote up a quick guide on choosing

At this point the your party crew are sufficiently irrelvent that we can just treat this as amusing and irrelvant drama, right?

Your Party figures talking seriously about bringing George Galloway on board. A man who, on top of racist "stop the boats" rhetoric and transphobia, thinks that rape is merely "bad sexual etiquette".

Not in this boat but: the answer is purpose specific emails. Say, "this email is for bills for the house", "this one is for schooling/childcare/etc related to this kid". If the people with those responsibilities change, you change who has access to them.

Average London trans pride speaker: we are valid! We are powerful!
TKDB: So. If we tell you to throw bricks at cops that's a crime. But it is an important part of our history. We should celebrate our history.

Two protests in Epping in the past 7 days.
Sunday saw attacks against SUTR, a potential attack against an asylum seeker and a far right agitator climbing a hotel hosting migrants

Today has seen multiple attacks against antifascists and the use of riot police while a stand off is currently ongoing

Pride still triggers homophobic pub goers
When Hazel Southwell took over the Royal Oak pub in Erith, south-east London, last December she feared the locals would shun a gay woman with Georgian heritage as she thought it was a Reform heartland.
The regulars surprised her, confrontations were rare and she secured a 400K in funds
for a renovation to change the decor and
60-year-old carpet. But when Hazel had to bar one drinker for posting online hate about a Pride party at the Oak, the bigot organised a boycott of the London pub.
Hazel then feared she would lose her job because of the drop in takings.
"It was difficult to secure the huge amount of funding to be spent on the pub," Hazel says. "It's a shame people have to spoil it by willing me to fail. Before this it was heartwarming that there was such good integration with LGTBQ+ [people], with everyone playing darts."

"It's a shame people have to spoil it by willing me to fail. Before this it was heartwarming that there was such good integration with LGTBQ+ [people], with everyone playing darts."

But the news of bigots trying to spoil this diversity sparked a huge amount of solidarity in the LGBTQ+ community and its allies with Hazel hoping that people all over London travel to Saturday's Pride event.
"The whole point of Pride is that people can celebrate themselves and feel good about themselves," said a member of the Oak's bar staff. "It's a show against bullies and people who'd rather not understand. It's the first time we've done this here and it's really important for everyone who feels like they ought to keep quiet or to live as someone else because of where they are living."
Most drinkers at the Oak are happy to show solidarity. "I'm really excited for it," a regular customer said, "it's not been done here and I hope it'll bring new people in. This pub's been waiting for a breath of life for donkey's years and you can't resuscitate it by doing the same things every week.
"Plus it'll be a proper party, what's to complain about?"

Absolutely make a great difference. But you can just buy the cheap ones- mine were Β£0.70/EA in bulk from China, but high street/Amazon maybe a bit more.

Starting a movement specifically to get trans women to wear bonnets to sleep because
A) God we can stop damaging our hair and make our lives so much easier.
B) We look cute wearing them.
