Screenshot of a PinkNews article headline reading “17-year-old trans girl’s suicide over NHS wait times was preventable, coroner rules.” The article is dated October 9 and written by Amelia Hansford. The PinkNews logo appears at the top in pink and black.

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.

out of all the things that FatT predicted way ahead of time, casting keir starmer as the princept might be the one i'm most proud of

i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

a soap opera I can't immediately identify is on and a woman just leaned over to a man in a hedge maze and said "isn't it obvious? I'm trying to acquire my own train" and they gave each other knowing looks while sneaky harpsichord music played, which is maybe an ideal sort of soap opera scene

thank you! really glad you found someone who's so helpful ☺️

every time I see a doctor about my back/joint pain I brace myself to explain that I also had it at a different weight so no, it's probably not that! (undiagnosed-but-likely-hypermobile bendy solidarity 🌻)

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

"Are asylum seekers the biggest political issue in Britain?" Asks radio 4. "We interview man who is determined to make it the biggest issue in Britain. And make it a headline every morning until it definitely is"

we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

The BDS movement is calling for people to pressure Microsoft with divestment and exclusion from contracts, whenever feasible. We also call for boycotting Microsoft’s gaming products, with the following options as tiers of engagement: Cancel your Xbox Game Pass subscription. Boycott Candy Crush, Minecraft and Call of Duty – flagship videogame franchises owned by Microsoft. Boycott all Microsoft Gaming products, including Xbox-branded consoles, headsets, accessories and all games published by Microsoft-owned publishing labels (such as Xbox Game Studios, Activision, Bethesda and Blizzard).

And I've obviously been saying this a lot lately, but BDS does not expect anyone to drop everything made by Microsoft all at once. They pick very specific targets in order to get as wide a coalition as possible, and in the case of Xbox, even suggest different tiers of engagement.

my parents' garden does this! the year of strawberries was great. the year of parsley... less so

Trans Advocates Win Landmark UK Tribunal Case. Eva Echo and Saba Ali share the story behind their tribunal win.

We need to big this up, a V important legal judgement; if it had gone against us it would have been all over the oligarch/transphobic media as a "Landmark" case. I suspect it may be very useful in preventing Universities from silencing trans people under the pretext of pandering to the OfS.

generally speaking the whitest parts of the UK are also the most racist, which is one of many things that makes the 'legitimate concerns' line Labour is now worryingly parroting bullshit

If you've wondered why Starmer raced to criminalize support for Palestine Action, this is the smoking gun. Absolutely disgraceful corruption in office on behalf of a foreign power. Meanwhile they're charging 80-year-old retired priests and magistrates with terrorism for carrying protest signs …

Don't Just Do Nothing has some us-specific terms/elements but I've found it a really accessible starting point - itsgoingdown.org/wp-content/u...

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

this is v smart and I'm going to take it up, thank you for the idea!!

what I am taking from this is that I should start having a bad things gift budget

I honestly do not understand how you are able to ban the spreading of gender stereotypes if you are also to ban any encouragement for children to question gender.

None of this shit has been thought through coherently beyond a desperate desire to harm trans kids and people who support them.

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

this is garden pub level racism where you go on TV and say FREIGN NATIONALS over and over again while talking about ridiculous policies because you think your audience is so racist you can have them react to the phrase likePavlov's dog and not think about anything else
