hey thanks! also your band name is really cool and reminded me to have some water before bed :3
she herself advocates against trans athletes! while playing in golf competitions as a woman! and doing badly! she picked literally the dumbest possible imaginary argument, i'm frankly amazed.
True, I'm not jumping to rejoin or anything. A momentary exhale seeing one candidate not sliding further rightward against the voice of the membership, at least.
A joy to see someone actually willing to criticise Labour within Unison leadership. Very thankful I had another union to switch to, and this is one of the main reasons I left. You can't just keep telling members "well Tories would be worse, we'll ask Labour nicely again" and expect loyalty.
SODEXO KILLED TONI ASIK Last night, a month on from Toni Asik's death after weeks of abuse in HMP Bronzefield, actionists representing BASH BACK took action against the prison's private owners, Sodexo. We will not let Sodexo forget what they did to Toni. We will remember him. WE WILL BASH BACK
sharing this again because, yes we need to call people falling for fascist myths fascist. Driving them "into the sea" and not instead breaking the machine that makes them fascist is just the same useless angry flailing but on the left.
I get that, like...hard relate emotionally. I mean...fascism works because the people in front of hotels are absolutely expendable to fascism. Are we anarchists here or are we left-flavoured totalitarians? Them being fascists is a valid idea that can stand on its own without the stick.
The Enemy is the state itself, the Guardian and their class structures. If a fight's needed against these other people in the moment then we need to fight don't get me wrong, but like... if you talk to them they don't even think they're racist. They're rubes.
The problem is the people not calling them what they are. Drive Starmer and Farage both from public life, dismantle the state apparatus itself, they'll have to actually face issues as they are. Driving the addicts and victims of state manipulation out will just have the state make more.
LISTEN UP! If you're following me, and you don't support full and equal participation of trans people in society - including sports, "single-sex" spaces, employment, housing and protection from violence, UNFOLLOW ME NOW AND FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF. I don't want to have anything to do with you.
The right will always attack our language, try to get us hyperfixated on correctness and perfection. They will attack us no matter what. Just say *something*. Make mistakes sometimes. Call the right weird when they act this way. It is normal to make mistakes. Allow yourself to be normal!
I don't care about the terms, I care about the intent. I don't care if someone uses an outdated term for trans people while they fight for my healthcare. If it's egregious I might correct them politely later but honestly just DO SOMETHING! There will never be the perfect word.
"The mosquitos can't hurt you if you're dead from blood loss" I chuckle, as I cut my legs out from underneath me.
If we don't morph into crabs the crabs will take over the planet! It's the only way, quick everyone run into the briney sea!!!
The National Guard occupation of DC is costing $1 million A DAY. It costs ~$47,000 A YEAR to house someone experiencing homelessness. This is about punishing the poor & terrorizing DC. It’s not solving shit.
fr though love and appreciate my partner staying on the phone with me even though I thought the call dropped because my bluetooth headphones were still connected and I had an imaginary conversation with her instead xx
Forgot to tell the stranger following me home threatening to rape me that I was trans, I am deeply sorry for the community for violating his very real concept of consent.
The fact that you are even entertaining this as an option makes me doubt your allyship and capability of representing marginalised voices. AI is a tool of runaway Ayn Rand-ian capitalism which promises destruction of education, equality and personhood for vast swathes of humanity. AI is the enemy.
People lie all the time to get sex like..."no I won't report you to the police if my friends make fun of me"
cannot fucking wait for my job to insist on using this trash. It's weird though, all my reports somehow only work in LibreOffice 🤷♀️

Isn't this so specifically settled in law already because they sued to allow visible crosses in 2013? They're the ones that insist we're a belief instead of scientific fact. What judge is taking on this ludicrous waste of time!?
This is not just young kids either, being pushed so heavily in Higher Ed as well. Next update to Universities - academics no longer read your essay, AI generates a summary and you press a button and AI generates feedback. Laziest slop imaginable. help.blackboard.com/Learn/Admini...
Update: M&S are cool and GCs and the Sun are filthy liars

Past career in social service here - supported many women through mental health emergencies. The concern for someone washing their pants in a public sink needs to not be about *embarrassment* I cannot stress this enough.
How are the scandals fun for the people involved (this shiny ham and Polari)? How are they not fun for the people watching (everyone in this thread clowning on it)? How has someone who was nominated for a prize named after Polari never been to an orgy?
I was angry at Polari's LGBT+ literary prize for not understanding LGBT+ issues. Now I'm angry at Polari LGBT+ literary prize for not understanding literary issues.
A company that doesn't understand the very basic biology of what causes female breast growth is not competent to give bra fittings to *any* women. Gods know what other clickbait they're basing other policies on like handwashing.
she's actively promoted bigoted and segregationist policies against us, and was part of the pile-on against Imane Khelif. It was just the default shirt for that corporate pride. Cis white people stealing from trans minorites and erasing all meaning, par for course.
Must remember this is not a victory - this was finally forcing a pause in an attack against us. Polari have not proven themselves allies, do not celebrate them. Tell them "good. now don't forget you're on thin fucking ice"
Reskeets =/= endorsements. I don't think she deserves to disappear alone, unloved, and forgotten in her moldy mausoleum house. Too many trans women are homeless. Drag her out of her literal fucking castle too.
my first sewing project that isn't a patch is actually not falling apart yet! Just gotta figure out the joining seam and she's done!
Maybe Corbyn and Sultana still truly support trans rights and are just being cynically tactical in their silence. But I just cannot trust leaders who are scared or embarrassed to stand up for trans rights and say it
Well done to this superstar for this public service broadcast. The BBC is complicit in Israel’s genocide, and its viewers needed to be told. 👏👏👏
the first criticism of using transphobic rhetoric then immediately defaulting to "first of all I'm autistic" omfg 🙄🙄 Autism doesn't make you think trans women aren't actually women. Being transphobic does. Kinda pretty fucking simple.
HIS NAME WAS TONI ASIK HE WAS MURDERED BY SODEXO AND THE STATE SAY HIS NAME FIGHT BACK
Slightly diminish a band Smooshing Squash
Okay Pixies a mile away sound like Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins a mile away sound like a dadcore cover band. I know this kinda doxes me but I need people to know this if any are considering milling about a pub near an arena.
But Spectre is too 'we can always tell' about it and just TERFs their way to failure. ...I should probably re-up my Patreon subscription, that dream fucking ripped.
At it was just...Wendy Carlos with fake mutton chops level of boymoding. And so Bondie has to collect team members, intel and gadgets by coming out to her coworkers (now spread out over the world in hiding) who try and fail to explain that yes, they've actually known for a while.
Had a dream where the fate of the west rested on the fact that, though all MI6 was compromised, James Bond was still boymoding at work but all her coworkers were so patient in not breaking the egg prime directive it made her indetectable to Spectre.
i need more weekend vibes, but these seem more like for hump day?
doomscrolling lovehoney rn
i have to wait until wednesday to get choked out, capitalism is plague
I feel I have been robbed of a thrilling bicycle chase
Trans woman doing a drag king character thats a toilet cop with a big moustache would actually go so hard

I mean any oppression is bad ig but also...wait wow next you'll tell me the kapos didn't receive medals from the führer?!
Really interesting take on upcoming worst-case-scenario going into law: it's civil law. Let your job get sued while you poo on company time, who gives a shit (you do, because...okay joke getting ahead of us here)
Yes and to say no one supporting genocide is innocent shouldn't mean a binary state. If the theft of our labour is going to colonialist terror...what small things can we do in our own oppression to save both us *and* the victims of our stolen production?
and yes the people making the power points and cleaning the bases and whatever, do also contribute to the war the war machine does. the war machine doesn't work without it's oil and regular maintenance
went for a quick run through yorkshire countryside and now i'm posting from czechia. fairy magic i guess, wild.
The “goal” is to send “all Palestinian civilians from Gaza City” to “the” “camps.”
absolute clown logic, implying people criticising silence on transphobia aren't also doing a second thing.
Yeah y'know "the party might be racist and islamophobic too!" isn't really winning me over, actually.
"we can't say anything about trans rights right now because we might be swarmed by fascist membership who will vote in a different policy" is not the win you think it is.
Hey Jeremy, we're being told you can't make statements about trans rights because it can't be party policy until the party is founded and a leader elected...so how come you're making statements about council housing then? Or is just the one specific human rights issue not allowed to be talked about?
Funny he can make stances on taxes, Palestine, disarmament, wealth distribution, social services all plainly in all his statements about party policy but suddenly and JUST with trans rights "there is no leader until the founding conference happens" 🤔🤔🤔
At this point I assume the British are going to suddenly discover trans people have a 6000 year-old claim to a colony about to get liberation, like the Chagos Archipelago, and start force helping relocate us there
They can't access educational info in the world's largest collection of knowledge ever without pretending to be Norman Reedus or from Slovenia because of you, you waste of a village's idiot.
"An AI start-up based in" our city. Was the sewage dumped in our river on a weekly basis not enough poison for you? Got to steal our clean water now too?
Stealing labour from your constituents. How very Red Tory.
well in the one way it's exactly like you - completely fucking inhuman. do your job with our taxes (that you refuse to take from your AI CEO owners!) or resign.
otoh where are these shacks in the woods filled with queer people and is there room for another polycule? I need more weirdos way more than I need another M&S.
Reminder that Pride is a lie to keep us complacent. Capitalism is a virus and the bosses are not your friend. You owe them nothing. They owe you everything.
It also completely ignores that the circumstances which necessitate people seeking asylum change, so someone may come to the UK to study and then require asylum later. Gaining an education in certain circumstances can actually lead to people needing to seek asylum.
I honestly just feel really bad that a potential partner is caring about what kind of things she might find pleasurable and this is such a foreign concept to her that she has to find a reason to hate it.
I'll believe Harvard is censoring transphobic views when they apologise for stealing the life's work of Elke Mackenzie and republish it under her actual fucking name.
Not the first time a Harvard professor called for the deaths of hundreds of innocent people based on ravings and hysterics from "pent-up malice and ancient superstition", or are we supposed to suddenly forget about the legacy of Increase Mather?
Today is shut the fuck up Friday so remember that if you think you know who did a possibly illegal direct action, no you don't.
Implying the party co-founded by someone who doesn't want to kill all the t-slurs would even want to work with these bigots.
Calling it: everything will be vague handwaving then "omg trans people aren't getting misgendered enough, we need to email them more about their genitals!".
one of their big scary woke events is...a Eurovision screening? Fucking kidding me? Next they'll break the shocking news hospital waiting room teles don't just run a loop of Wes Streeting laughing at you?
this. like I know it's a scam, but if a scam becomes the only way to get hrt the scam becomes just an added cost of medication. And Visa and Mastercard are happy to play their role as US fascism's morality censors.
The DNC laughed at listing the names of children killed in genocide. Shut the absolute fuck up you groveling authoritarian with a favourite colour.
okay it either drove up the hill, turned around and came back for nothing while i was typing this or the world is running low on ram
just saw a company van for "Pro-Fit Hoardings" and 0/10 i have no idea what your business does but that is the most GTA-ass company name I've seen
Is this some cosmic balance shit?! Ozzy saw we weren't getting rid of any of these fuckers without a sacrifice and took the L for us. Ozzy was worth at least a Trump and Kevin Sorbo too though! You fuckin owe us that much, universe!
"The [propaganda] of some [fascistic] women and the [human] rights of [all] trans women..come into a degree of conflict" FTFY Ellie, you quisling goon.
Jonathan Reynolds a Labour MP is concerned about the racists and not the people they try to attack in hotels www.DUMPtheguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
Just reminds me of Polanski's new campaign: yes the racists have concerns and fears. Economic destitution. Hopelessness. Those racists are victims of The State for being poisoned against their class. Labour's entire stance is identical to Reform now: "please hate anyone but us for everything wrong".
The thing about all this Itch had no choice handwringing is that it reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of how corporate culture works. Visa and Mastercard have caved to Collective Shout because they believe the reputational threat is a real risk. They need to be shown the alternative is worse.
I will keep this job until I afford surgery, the daily mantra.
Two months ago University of Leeds allowed transphobic proselytising on the basis of free speech, despite many queer students bravely speaking out admitting it made them afraid to be on campus. Yet Security is violently stripping away keffiyahs from graduating students. Spot the fucking difference.
this is why we must always fight where we find ourselves, never cede an inch to these radicals. 12 years ago UK was a haven, just a year ago it was NZ. If we continue to push exodus as the only option we will run out of breath and land. We belong everywhere we find ourselves (everywhere).
I recall in the 90s I was taught Palestinians were uneducated, destitute and the land was ruined because of them, that Jews needed to be there as a "guiding hand". I could certainly see that racism escalating in more isolated communities.
"voters are why I lost" is the funniest possible thing for a politician to say.
wanting to stay and having a job, housing for you and partners and a way to get meds privately somewhere else are very different things! Like once I hit my surgery funding goal and am off blockers it's a massively different story here
They even had the token cis woman victim of transphobia in there and didn't talk to a single one of us jflskdjfkjj
Those nonmedically transitioning are disproportionately affected by these proposals, but it's for absolutely no benefit and HARMS those with binary medical goals Why stab yourself in the chest to attack your closest ally in the back?!
And we see directly the harm that medicalised definitions do to harm ALL trans people. We see it in the UK, Cass defining everything as a syndrome only adults can have, years of evidence from clinics and individuals is never enough; any nervousness or enby-ness is grounds for total removal of care.
why are people not respecting my sensitive little feelings when I insult and disrespect them?! help i'm literally too fucking dumb to figure this out!
with the flag in their bio tfffffff???
@humblebundle.com doing this with the flag in their bio is a fucking slap in the face, how fucking dare you promote our eradication while using our flag for rainbow capitalism.
Sam Hall personally gave me a hug and told me everything would be okay at my lowest point. Sam Hall personally helped me stay clean of drugs. Sam Hall diagnosed me with ADHD. Sam Hall saved my life. And yes, Sam Hall gave me HRT. I am beyond angry. Please contact them.
The "the left want everyone starving and destitute" crowd when from each/to each also means paying your clothes-makers a living wage if you can
cheering on a spider for being such a good climber and the little turd immediately spooks and falls off the wall into the sink. she me irl fr 🖤 🕷️
