It's also important to have a partner who stops you getting too lapsed catholic about things, no there is no inherent wrongness leaking out of you!

Not an original thought by any means, but to have someone sit with your in urgent care, stay with you while a nurse attends to the infection and demonstrate that this in no way changes how they feel about you overall was significant to me

Been dealing with the minor horrors of having a body (post surgery infection) and been forced to unpack a lot of mouldering ideologies around blame, desirability and relationships

A very good thread about trans rights, Your Party, and the difference between a policy and a principle

Release the demon inside you that says you must have the Objectively Correct emotional experience with a piece of art

My friends and I took part in Bleach Your Butch Wednesday, when you help your butch bleach their hair, in this case specifically for cosplay

After the British museum theft and now the Louvre heist, the premise of Euro-custodianship of global south heritage is more than debatable. Return the possessions to their community custodians.

Sudden melancholic mood has nothing to do with listening to an album called melancholic oud

2013: Evangelicals: "We're going to use feminist sounding language to separate the T from the LGB, to ultimately ban abortion."

2014: UK 'GC' groups spring up overnight, with anon donations.

10 years of anti-trans activism.

2025: The British Press: "OMG, evangelicals are trying to ban abortion!"

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

Got my stitches out today, but will likely still refer to it as hashtag my wound to my partner to be annoying

“PUT SEASHELLS IN THE ANKLES OF YOUR SOCKS,” my dad told me on the phone today. “Why on earth would I do that?” I asked. “YOUR MUM TOLD ME YOU’VE GOT BADGERS IN THE GARDEN. WHEN THEY BITE YOUR LEG, THEY’LL CRUNCH ON THE SHELLS AND THINK THEY’VE ALREADY HIT BONE, THEN LEAVE YOU ALONE.”

Important advice from my dad for anyone who finds themselves being attacked by a badger.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Whatever the intentions of the Government bringing it forth, compulsory ID means they and subsequent Governments control your citizenship and statehood. Labour cannot guarantee how any successors will use this. It is a fundamentally oppressive proposal and cannot be allowed to happen.

Vulnerable Families Urgent Evacuation Fund We are a group of Gazans and international activists (Palestinian/SWANA/Allies) who have been supporting Gazans for the past 2 years and beyond. We are now working to coordinate crisis evacuations for...

I rarely share organizations in Gaza because it’s too hard to verify that they are doing the work they say they are but I know multiple people who were able to evacuate through the people working on this fund who are funding trips out of Gaza City (it’s $2100 a trip for 16 people).

We join @pressfreedom.bsky.social in condemning Israel’s killing of 31 Yemeni journalists and media workers, the deadliest attack on the press in 16 years. Journalists are civilians and must be protected under international law. We call for accountability and end to impunity. @penmena.bsky.social

I will never forget how the fully fictional “concerns” of TERFs and billionaires about trans people have contributed to the rapid rise of fascism. There they are, egging it on, not listening to science, history, medicine, and individual experience, fiddling their own prejudices while society burns.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

Being awake for minor surgery means you get to chat with the doctor and observing medical student, learning things such as they practise stitches on mannequins these days and that your doctor has beef with dentists because he thinks they don't anesthetise people properly

Mould treated! Replaster and repaint to be booked but hopefully soon, I would love to move into the flat I'm paying for at some point this month!

All the argument "Reform will be worse" sounds like to a lot of migrants, trans and non-binary individuals, disabled people etc, not all but many, is "my life will be worse and you are just collateral damage to ensure I don't have to face what you face now". That's not a vote winning message. 23/
