Happy birthday to Henry the vacuum cleaner x

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

I simultaneously want to know what happened on the patio, and know exactly what happened on the patio.
The only unknowns are how old they were, (15? 90? I'd believe it) and how high the patio was when someone was hurled over the rail.

World Rugby banned trans women from elite competition in 2020. They promised science, research, and review.

Five years later, none of that has materialized. What do we actually know? A thread on what’s missing and what’s real. 🧵

“Then die”

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first. One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish. Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points. We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are. Anelise Feldman Freshman, Yarmouth High School Yarmouth

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

In the spirit of Mother’s Day, here’s a clip of Björk two-piecing a reporter who was stalking her and her baby.

Damn

Nooooo

Tammi giving it rock horns wearing a Leia Trans Rebel shirt.

Me and my office monstera plant wearing a Leia Trans Rebel shirt. Well I am, the cheesy's au naturel.

Okay then. If we didn't launch these LE shirts today, we'd be missing a trick and that was definitely the plan all along 👀

No transphobe has ever been able to explain to me why a man would pretend to be a woman in order to abuse and harass women in women-only spaces when cis men abuse & harasses us in the street, in our workplaces, in our homes and literally everywhere else without consequence

If men want to rape us they do not need to “pretend” to be women to get into our toilets or our changing rooms. They can just…rape us, in those spaces or other public spaces or in our workplaces or our homes, and they can be statistically pretty certain that they will never face punishment for this.

Fuck the terfs and the bigots.

HOLY SHIT! This might be the coolest thing ever.

This is gonna sound sorta counterintuitive, but a piece of advice I give to women in sports: If someone’s being a dick, go check out his TL. You’ll quickly see that hes not actually mad at what you said; he’s mad that you exist in this space at all.

Clock it and disregard.

Never been on it - is it basically Facebook on Twitter?

This Reddit thread of people explaining the most unhinged reason they ever abandoned a book is a delight

I find Jonathan Liew articles really quite irritating. Neither amusing nor thought provoking, whilst also misrepresenting what happens in order to satisfy his narrative. 75% of the time I regret giving the article a page count

Happy birthday!

Urrrgh. Sorry Gideon
