Just in case some men were still wondering why women chose the fuckin’ bear, read this thread. Want to know more? Listen to women. Believe them. Not the assholes that can post videos online bragging about not being in jail for what they did.

I worked with survivors of domestic violence for over 25 years and let me tell you… They cooked a lot of dinners for their abusers. Want to know why? 🧵

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

Btw that figure once Spotify and other late reporters were in was 1500 listens. In the first day. For a brand new show nobody knew anything about. 1500 people took a chance on this new unknown thing and gave it a go. That alone blows my mind.

Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)

I think what we’ve done is pretty groundbreaking and is able to go deeper into our lived experience than a show aimed at a broader audience. I feel like people should know about it. All contacts, introductions, reviews & help would be so appreciated. 3/

We’ve got press releases to go out. I’ve got the comedy press covered but podcasting promo is new to me. I’m making a list of podcast reviewers, journos etc to send it to but if anyone does that or has direct contacts & fancies helping this ragtag group of autistics out, we’d be very grateful! 2/

Hellooooo industry pals. So we’ve made the first ever audio sitcom by & for autistic people. It really hasn’t been done before & it’s quite a big deal. We’ve got a stellar writing team, cast & crew, A-list cameos & it’s a Daily Tism / A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs production. 1/

I already shared this before, but I just realized that I had accidentally saved and backed up this whole Amnesty International report that was pulled due to threats of legal action. To free up space on my phone, I’m mirroring the whole thing here. (This totally works.) 1/n

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

This 🧵contains an Amnesty International report on UK-based anti-trans groups. Because of the backwards UK defamation laws, AI pulled the report after threats of legal action. Please do not share this report, as those groups would be really mad.

I just created www.lgbtqlegislation.com which builds on the work of the LegiAlerts team to provide an interactive data dashboard to look at 20+ years of anti-LGBTQ legislation and especially anti-trans legislation. It also includes an overview of pro-LGBTQ legislation. Check it out!

I am not a Catholic, so I know next to nothing about the Church. I know this, however: I have never been more hooked by an ongoing intrigue than by @clairewillett.bsky.social’s SchismWatch posts about the excommunication of these guys. Seriously. I officially ran out of popcorn six threads ago.

Claire Willett@clairewillett.bsky.social · last mo.

okay on today’s episode of “Give Us Thia Day Our Daily Thread,” guys the official response from SSPX to their excommunication is fucking hilarious. absolute whiny baby shit “you are so mean and unfair, yet we heroically forgive you for it with our saintlike forbearance” girl please

First off, I don't care if it was just one trans athlete in the whole country, that's too many to make suffer. But second, fighting trans sports bans matters for the same reason that fighting the military ban did even though fuck the US military: They're doing it to cast us as unsafe for society.

Here it is. Our beautiful It’s a Superpower?? thumbnail, designed by the amazing @frasergeesin.bsky.social - who has also created episode thumbnails for each chapter! We were going for a ‘90s Sabrina pastiche / homage, which of course nods to Bewitched. We can’t wait for you to meet these guys 😭

i think, end of the day, the real problem with Bluesky is that most of its users are here *because* they want to be in a bubble. and they can tell themselves that it’s just about not being around Nazis it supporting Musk, and that’s part of it, but also there’s a palpable desire to be ensconced.
