It's actively insanity inducing to be a survivor and a feminist right now because in the face of the sheer ubiquity of sexual assault and the lack of consequences for it, we're all being besieged by demands that we think of the rapist men, forgive the rapist men, cleanse the souls of the rapist men

"Cor blimey all these people keep coming into my office and asking me to prescribe them medicine! Absolute state of the world innit"

modern medicine is one of the greatest things about human civilization, and simultaneously, doctors are somehow on average violently opposed to using it to help people

Whenever I read about medical professionals saying whatever situation is over-diagnosed, I remember how my partner was kicked out of a hospital by security guards because his renal colic and chronic pain had rendered him nonverbal and the doctor thought he was attention seeking

My ideal situation would be, essentially, we get to a place where a kid from a South London council estate could, if they so wished, go to the local youth centre and learn to play the violin. But, then, we come back to this, the reason it will never happen:

Also, would be cool if there were some kind of indoor space they could hang out in on grim and cold days. Not tied to any activity unless they want to. Like just some comfy sofas, maybe a pool table or something like that. Free. Yeah, would not be cheap for the council but once you offset it

A basic fact about how the right operates is that they take attacks on women's rights, trans people, immigrants and racialized people etc. deathly seriously, while many liberals and even many leftists dismiss them as 'distractions' or 'culture issues'. Often due to tacit agreement.

The right-wing organizing around the Lindsay Clancy trial is growing and it’s frightening. A lot of people overlook these culture wars revolving around women’s issues, because, well, they’re women’s issues. But the right doesn’t. It’s how they regained such a massive cultural foothold.

It's post-hoc justification. They want to cut benefits to disabled people so they can get a bigger house. Either that makes them absolute monsters, or all disabled little are scammers and fakers. So, you see, how easy it would be to get a story like this in the paper with those incentives.

Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · last mo.

This is shameful discriminatory and misogynistic reporting. People aren’t choosing disability to be “cool”. Young women don’t have to “prove” to you that they’re sick. Disability rates are skyrocketing because we’ve left a disabling virus rip through the population for over 6 years.

So in one week: 1) Reform get stung for dodgy finances, and the regulators play pass the parcel about enforcement 2) Farage announces plans to largely dismantle independent scrutiny of govt, and barely any press discussion of it 3) Masked thugs blockade a port, with narry a word from senior govt

Nice to have a citation for the stuff we all sort of assume to be true but question if it's just our own biases making it look that way

In the western world reading books is woke, feminine, and gay, which is why most men don't read, but for some reason books still have to center men or no one will read them at all

do you think in Italy they call it a regular copy

its been over a year since it came out and I can finally say it: I hate that TV man so much. that I decided to kill him, with Attack and Rude Buster. Awful. Awful man.

Alex Massie conjured up a figure of aroudn 450 trans women convicted rapists over the space of a decade in a piece he did for the Times and got away with it despite that number being larger than the total number of trans women in the British prison system altogether (most of them not for rape).

The major story of the last decade is the resurgence of overt racist hatred and fascism, on a specific platform of removing the civil rights of citizens, and deporting them where possible. The British press has - at best - used this opportunity to hammer the fuck out of everyone it’s always despised

anytime someone shares a video with a "why aren't women into men like this" caption, the answer is that there probably are women into men like that, just not the specific kind of man who sees someone talented on tiktok and begins fantasising about being him, being rejected by merit-blind females

You know nothing

Doing the bidding of a fascist regime grudgingly is still doing its bidding:
