As an anarchist Iβve never joined a political party.
Today I did.
With Tommy Robinson rallying the far right, silence isnβt rebellion.
Joining the Greens under @zackpolanski.bsky.social is my act of defiance: the only party willing to call Reform what they are - fascists.
'centrists' are the problem not the far right. it's 'centrists'
if you got rid of 'centrism' you'd have the far right talking bollocks and the left talking sense. instead we have the far right talking bollocks & 'centrists' saying 'yes you are correct but impolite... also fuck those loony lefties'

Love to be an organisation obligated to ban people if I think they're trans, but every time I'm playing Whoopsie that's a cis person roulette, and if I'm wrong I get sued. And there's no reliable way to establish whether I can be sued for banning them or NOT banning them without going to court

Nothing is a better demonstration of the anti-scientific nature of banning trans women from sports than the fact that the IOC's OWN STUDY found no evidence trans women have any advantage over cis women in sports, but they're planning on going ahead with banning us anyways
