Okay! So hello. My name is Allison Gill. For the last 9 years, you’ve known me as Mueller, She Wrote. I used to have to be anonymous. But not anymore. So, hello world!

1/ Over the weekend, RFK Jr. was interviewed on CNN, and as I'm sure many of you have seen, he made a number of inaccurate statements. The conversation covered Covid-19, RSV, measles, vaccines, and autism. Let's fact-check some of the biggest claims.

Hey does anyone on here know of a small flat or room to let in or near Ennis (Ireland)? It would be for a clean 40-yr old male who has a job and is quiet. Needs for October, but sooner is fine as well. I would greatly appreciate it if you can message me or spread the word if you know of something.

One thing the trans community over-indexes on is digital tech experts. We need to use that expertise to make sure that the receipts of the ‘gender critical’ transphobes are preserved and boosted, so they can’t ever hide from what they’ve done!

While JK Rowling is threatening human rights organisations with legal action to silence them… … We need to make sure the historical records accurately reflect everything the ‘gender critical’ transphobic bigoted billionaire did in her obsessive campaign against trans people! Wiki editors assemble!

Joe Rogan is less entertaining than a Yule log. I don’t care if he makes a billion dollars. He’s an unfunny laughing stock. A useful idiot for fascism. A willfully stupid bore.
