Them Fatale,

Starmer's attempt to play both sides has failed. He tried to look tough on Trump, but failed to condemn the illegal attack.

Then he let US bombers pit stop here.

He's dragged us into the war, and still managed to damage our reputation with the USA in the process.

Glad Sir Kier is getting the full range of 'toadying to a malignant narcissist' consequences. You either crawl on broken glass for them, or nothing is ever enough. Its why you act like someone with principles, keep your dignity and tell them to fuck off.

The trans question?
Holy dogwhistles, Batman.

Whoever the GOP put up is going to be a hororshow.
If i had a vote in the USA, i've vote for a Dem box of cat litter.
Cat litter is a safer bet than the humans they seem to want to elevate like Newsom. Put a labubu in the oval office.
just not a liberal who indulges in fascism

It is embolism-inducing that in a country the size of America, the Dems cant put forward a candidate that hasn't kicked down homeless people's shelters, done nazi shit with nazis and shown wilfully ignorant anti-scientific views on trans people.
Its a tiny ask, that person must exist.

do you have a final solution to 'the trans question'?

also the greens pro-trans position is based on members voting for pro-trans policies.

the green party doesn't work like the labour party. the leadership doesn't dictate policy.

so the notion there's a split is a lie.

Donald, dont hold back, just call him a little bitch.

Trump just called Starmer a goal hanger glory hunter in so many words and lol LMAO

My fantasy is the trade unions unilaterally withdrawing fiscal support for Labour and going all in with both Green parties. Might mitigate a little of all that billionaire money all the fashy parties get.

It also led me to reach out to friends who i knew were adopted and there were some very dark conversations we've maybe never had.
We need to be a village to all the villagers.

In her storyline, it was about separating siblings, which we supposedly no longer do, however there is generational trauma much like pogrom diaspora generational trauma.
Adoption is complex, and full of pain and murky issues we as a society choose not to see.

We need so much more investment in this kind of research.
An actor pal played a role on tv last year, of an adopted person with cPTSD. Her research into the role was devastating and led us all to learn more. I work in PTSD and i was ignorant of just how deep the suffering can go.

The neoliberal to open fascist pipeline is very real, and very apparent

Reminder, these are the same accounts that have spent well over three years claiming that anyone who is correctly pointing out the Democrats engaged in genocide are hamas or extremists

Normalize sending screenshots of men’s rape comments to their family and employer.

YES! and lets normalise sending screenshots of men claiming this is cruel and mean and they might lose their jobs, also to their families and employers. I want a consequences-palooza!

Blames people for not voting Harris, scolds them as if its akin to a child not cleaning their room, then goes all out transphobic on misgendering Parker.
Felt like twitter lol

Resisting a strong urge to apologise LOL

She is now claiming she doesn't blame people who did vote Harris and i am agog at the audacity lol
Anyway, she is terf trash, i shall block

ps I really appreciate how tolerant you are of my metaphors that make very little sense to 99.9% of folks <3

"perfect is the enemy of the good" is mean to be a balanced replacement for 'go hard or go home!' gym toxicity, not 'you a turkey, should vote for my Christmas candidate because I, not a turkey, would like nice dinners'.

Its wild watching in real time a person with "LGBT ALLY!" in their profile go on to tear into the LGBT community and triple down on misgendering a trans woman.
You can plot that trajectory in advance every time.

PS if you want to be president, you are asking to take responsibility for everyone lol

If something like this has happened to you:
1 it wasnt your fault
2 you did nothing wrong
3 good for that woman for going to the media, however whatever you did to survive it, even if it was to bury it deep, was right for you. You dont owe the world advocacy for surviving. You did the right thing.

i can only assume there is a huge sector of pornography aimed at cis het men that has women book hotel rooms alone to trawl the venue looking for random men to fuck, or wait to be approached. Gross men cant have made this up for themselves.

I am just so saddened that it keeps happening, year in year out.

We get a dozen articles a week on trans panic, yet its not why any of us take security measures in our rooms when we travel.
I've moved beds to block doors before.

Best result - front desk called the cops and called a nearby hotel for a room for me and had me cabbed there, free of charge. Massive upgrade and new hotel was told what happened and were lovely.
Worst - 'i dont care, fill in this form for a partial refund'.

Reactions to being solicited, assaulted, flashed, chased, attacked etc by staff has varied greatly and seems to be down to individual staff competence.
There is no way MPs are going to make the CEO care, the CEO knows how often men treat hotels like a brothel in The Purge.

I'm not going to bore/trigger anyone with my various woes of Shit Men Do, its an eclectic, evergreen list.
What i will say is, there are a lot of people, especially women/femmes talking now about things usually kept hidden because somehow if its spoken we will be blamed.

We did a timeline and half of them were travelodges.
The thing you learn about budget chains is they allocate staff on percentages and under staff their hotels especially when under occupancy. Good staff get treated badly and move on to better hotels.

cn tw
sv rape hotels

There is media attention on Travelodge for giving a solo woman's door key to a guy with zero checks who entered her room and assaulted her.
I reacted to it in a wobbly way and it took my partner pointing out the litany of incidents i have had travelling alone in hotels.

*Dale Cooper voice*
Its happening again.
