The focus on the man is a way of keeping the conversation away from discussing promotion of violence in principle and how to tackle the harms that result from it. The trans community in this conversation are treated as an impersonal woke blob, against poor man Graham and the principle disappears.
For as long as we accept that the question is "Should Graham Linehan be treated like a criminal for his violent language?" the media can allow itself to avoid asking the question "why are we all okay with protecting a state of the world where accountability for anti trans violence is unimaginable?"

Fans of @louiestowell.bsky.social Loki series, The Works has the first three as a box set for Β£12!!!! We got the books from the library initially but kiddo wants their own copies in anticipation of the newest release so we snapped them up!
What should I think the truth is about this book? That it's shit, because the literary establishment completely ignored it & my ex-publishers screwed up its chances of any lasting commercial success? Or that it isn't, because I had great fun writing it & people repeatedly tell me stuff like this?

This is important. The first 24 hours of press coverage fumbled the ball. But the US just murdered 11 people in international waters. Analogies to the USβs (highly suspect, morally and legally) targeted killings of suspect terrorists donβt work. This crossed their own lines, and they know it.
When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk

This is a fascinating story: SEGM commissioned systematic reviews on gender affirming care, claimed they showed care should be banned, so the authors have released this statement saying their research is being misused and that it is unconscionable to ban gender affirming care:
Having checked back to see what Glinner said about Sarah Jane Baker when she was arrested and charged for saying "punch a terf in the face" at pride, funnily enough he called that an incitement /and/ was very happy that after cops refused initial charge Braverman stepped in to force them

Does anyone need a reminder that Alex Acosta, who gave Jeffrey Epstein the notorious "sweetheart deal" the first time his crimes were exposed became Trump's first labor secretary (until he was forced to resign when Julie K. Brown of the Miami Herald exposed the whole thing in 2018).
See also: When Western countries have a military tattoo, that's fine and normal and good. When China does it, it's PROVOCATION and AGGRESSION. Hope that helps.
Remember, kids: wearing a t-shirt which says "Palestine Action" is a crime. Telling millions of people to enact violence on trans women is not. Thanks for clearing that up, Kid Starver!
There is no reason whatsoever for cops to be patrolling in cars in car-free park. Emergency response may be a different story, but patrols should be done in site-appropriate vehicles so these careless morons don't kill more people. bsky.app/profile/nyc....

NOT using references if you are a figurative artist is, in fact, a sin. At least when drawing stuff you barely ever studied before.

Transphobes would have a lot less reach on here if everyone stopped arguing with them and quoting their posts to dunk on them, they don't give a rat's ass about your arguments and enjoy wasting your time.
Also 99% of yβall are still immediately quote dunking on folks and making fun of their looks, weight, etc. Which is absolutely the same shit the cartoons you grew up watching told you only bullies do. You wanna be the bully in a 90βs cartoon? Is that what you wanna be? Donβt fucking do that, jfc.
Social media is the βWe Love To Dogpileβ thing, itβs also the βWe Donβt Read Context Wellβ and the βGuilty Until Proven Innocentβ thing. By curbing this βDUNK ON PERSON FOR CLOUTβ problem we as a social media existing world have, we can hopefully change that for the better.
Itβs Bi Visibility Month, and hereβs a page from my 2019 zine, βstill bisexualβ.
Related to that last post, yβall gotta stop βQuote Posting To Dunk On Someoneβ in general. Itβs never been useful. Itβs always been a bad idea. And all it does is focus more eyes on a singular asshole or hateful ideologies giving that person/thing more exposure and reach.
