His enemy halted again, facing him, and the weedsmoke about it reached out like two vast wings.
One of the more surprising things about British society is how much it seems to genuinely loathe its own children.
Andrew Sissons@acjsissons.bsky.social · 3d agoThis is a harrowing - though not surprising - read. It’s probably hard to quantify, but I think we need to know how widespread this approach is, and what impact it has on young people’s mental health
A sleazy pedophile has just died and you'll never guess what the reaction from the great and the good in British society is
You may ask how the Guardian's political editor could say this (see people posting video after video of the Greens talking about the climate within just the past few days), but understand that to her that's just the oinking of pig people. Only attendees of Spectator garden party are real humans
Jessica Elgot@jessicaelgot.bsky.social · 2d agoYeah I guess they could try talking about the climate, seems like it would be good fit for them
here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?
To a hammer everything looks like a nail etc, but I do think that gender is the first and primary hierarchical division of human beings, and that much of the passion of the transphobic project comes from transphobes (correctly) assessing trans people’s threat to all other hierarchies.
ashley 🌹@clearlyashley.bsky.social · 7d agotrans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry
YIMBYism is correct, i wish there were fewer poisonously racist YIMBYs
Daniel Trubman@danieltrubman.bsky.social · 7d agoHas AES promised to support the Dem leader come January?
if you talk to any of these people long enough they'll admit to being sex criminals. i believe it's to do with the sewage content of their drinking water
Bloomineck@bloomineck.bsky.social · last wk.I'm talking about the consequences of Self-ID here. Not about "non passing" trans women. I've got heaps of photos I wouldn't share on Bluesky of people in the Women's Loo that look and probably are 100% in every way - men. Women are supposed to be ok with that. Because were so "kind".
anarchism is beautiful. i want to encase this post in a crystal orb and cherish it always
Fist of the Nice Star@hokutonokenburns.bsky.social · last wk.you are Liberal Elmo from that Cumtown bit. go back to the suburbs, you do not belong here and you are working to make it worse for everyone else
it happens very rarely but it's quite funny when you get the occasional "harrington would have HATED the modern DSA!". harrington made a book club i d c
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · last wk.Whether you like it or not 10 years of the agitational left wing insurgent candidacy model via running on the Dem ballot line has done far more for the re-vitalization of the socialist bloc than thirty five years of Michael Harrington et al occasionally endorsing a center left liberal for president.
Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.
interesting point here that there's an increasing tendency among reactionary centrists to think of DSA more like (((DSA))) than an organization with a membership roll
Wandering Hoo@wanderlib.bsky.social · last wk.Also, this has to run into the wall of DAC and Kiros? Like, if "DSA" (they just mean cosmopolitan progressives) was trying to limit Black power, I do not think this would be the approach.
I am somehow complicit in the destruction of USAID because of a bad policy in a superceded platform I didn't vote on but establishment defenders can't do anything about Gottenheimer or Moskowitz or the Long Islanders? fuck off
They have Indivisible now! If you're doing shit there, have fun! But it's the endless rounds of "well why aren't you making your organization into the perfect consumer product for meeeeeee, who's more an Ideas Guy" that drive me fucking batty.
You either believe that a state is entitled to deny self-government or self-determination to 33% of its population indefinitely based on ethnicity or you don't. Everything else is commentary.
uk has not been civilized ever since the first porn ban (under blair bitch iirc) and since it sought and sadly won the right to prosecute gays for bdsming too hard. That was the moment schizoid pixel peril freaks and social contagion pseudoscience theorists basically seizes the means of politics
Britain today vs Britain in the '40s (latter from the auto bio of Leslie Mitchell, BBC radio announcer)
Elizabeth Taylor@elizabethtaylor47.bsky.social · 2w agoActually - it is matter for the person alone to decide. This guidance can fuck off, and any civil servant who does anything other than ignore is a silly weirdo.
and when you compare the demographics of the platner diehards to the cuomosexuals an interesting thing occurs
the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist)@merovingians.bsky.social · 2w agothe crazy thing is like half of them are women over 60 bsky.app/profile/nucl...
I don’t suppose they’d welcome a comparison to Jeanette Winterson’s adoptive mother but the question “why be happy when you could be normal?” does seem to lurk at the back of quite a bit of this.
This is, I suspect, of a piece with british terfs being middle-class or above, many academics or journalists with quite cushy jobs. People who actually suffer don't have the luxury of enjoying their suffering
Dr Jo Kershaw@mthrjo.bsky.social · 2w agoHonestly I do think part of it is that a lot of them associate being a woman with suffering and think of puberty as a kind of miserable initiation ritual which is essential to Becoming a Woman.
in britain it's illegal to speak ill of the dead? an island of natural serfs and lickspittles
Tristan Grayford@tristangrayford.scot · 3w agoThis is absolutely absurd. Scottish transphobes post worse about trans people, including Heather, all the time and the police sit on their hands. JKR posted an upskirt photo of a trans person, a clear crime, just this week. No action. Talk about two tier policing. www.bbc.com/news/article...
The thing about the US being led by an insane, senile narcissistic fascist and governed by a party defined by oppositional defiance disorder on their best day is that a lot of people are going to hold a grudge about that, and I think you just have to be philosophical about that, at some point.
it's always interesting when older people reveal they would have opposed desegregation
Which Witch R U 🏳️🌈@which-witch-ru.bsky.social · 2w agoSports aren’t a right, tho. Tons of people who want to play sports can’t as they don’t meet height/weight/skill requirements. Getting fired, denied healthcare/housing/education/marriage, even custody of our own kids are rights. And we’ve only officially had those rights since 2014/15, not decades.
The self-Britification of the American reactionary centrist continues
Michael Paulauski♨️@mike10010100.com · 3w agoSo someone can make a million dollars a year but so long as they work for a living they're working class? How does that work?
Law school professors love being like "I supported my esteemed colleague's right to argue for the case for the Refugee Mulcher, even though I disagreed with it, but now that he has gone after the most important thing in the world, tenure, he must be stopped."
I think this is going to be one of those relationships where she kind of likes how much she doesn't like him
