Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

Reminder: DO NOT buy new HP crap. Nothing. For any reason. Every dollar you give JKR funds her global program of trans and intersex eradication. When you choose to buy new HP crap, you participate in real material evil.

Something to be aware of. HBO has that Potter show coming, so you are going to see a *lot* more partner deals like Drop and CGE. They are going to market the HELL out of this. They are going to do their best to sell this no matter what Rowling says or does.

What people are beginning to realise, if they did not know already, is that Rowling is financing the whole UK "gender critical" network. It is a project she is willing to invest millions in. If there were any real journalism in this country, it would be investigated and exposed.

Brisbane in 28 Worldcon Bid@brisbane28.org · 3w ago

Did you know that Australia has multiple time zones and that *not all of them use Daylight Savings Time*? This means that at some times of the year we have five time zones, and at other times, three. During Worldcon, we'll only have three.

Left Hand Picture: three time zones, West to East, blue = 6pm; green =7:30pm; yellow = 8pm. Right Hand Picture: West is blue and 6pm. Top middle is green, and 7:30pm. Bottom middle is orange and 8:30pm. East is top, yellow 8pm; bottom, red, 9pm.

Hey, UK acting people, it would be great if you just came out and said you were totally cool with transphobia instead of making us all wait for the slow trickle of casting announcements for projects with the very openly transphobic lady to know that you suck.

We hope everyone is filled to the brim with new ideas and excitement, and remember - Always Be Con-running ☘️

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS. These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st). Forced medical detransition. This country is a danger to trans children & young people.

no other way to say it, this thing in the uk where every single time a non-white person is in the news being accused of a crime we have full on race riots is very very bad
