Hi, coming out of hibernation to say that as a trans woman living in england, as of today, I have been forced out of pretty much any shared space like gyms, swimming pools etc, and the papers are saying it isn't going far enough. Check in with your british trans friends. You might just save a life.

The $30 million AIPAC wasted in Michigan, wasted trying to help Haley Stevens, could have been used to fully fund and deliver 6 million malaria nets to sub-Saharan Africa. Or, it could have fully paid for universal free school breakfasts in Mississippi, America's poorest state.

Bluesky is not a "liberal bubble". It's just one of increasingly few public spaces where Nazis get called out, and if that makes you uncomfortable, you need to think about that.

We too easily skipped over the part of the Ceuta story where thousands of young people were manipulated into risking or losing their lives for a lie; to orchestrate images that then led the news agenda for the weekend, and kneejerk reactions from EU Govs And the Irish failures that let this happen

If you were confused about what happened in Ceuta last week read this piece by @lizcarolan.com who's looking at how it blew up online and who's behind it... www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Senior member of the Sweden Democrats (whose roots are in neo-Nazism) has called a political editor and the leader of the opposition "quislings" and the whole country is getting its knickers in a twist. The right and far-right are set to lose the upcoming election, so Nazis gonna Nazi.

Att kalla en journalist för quisling när man själv är nazist är såklart helt sjukt men proportionerna i hur upprörd man är över det jämfört med att skicka barn i fängelse och utvisa bebisar är lite talande.

I ha e had some of my oldest and closest friends - in some cases going back 50 years - in Sweden for the last few days visiting me and my family, and as always they have left me feeling like the luckiest man alive. Sore from laughing and worn out, but blessed beyond belief by this life.

That is an excellent observation. Perhaps women should start wearing recording devices as a matter of course. Ones capable of recording and live streaming at the same time - for those extra special men we meet along life's path.

TheBossRoss 🧶@thebossross.bsky.social · 2d ago

If women wore smart glasses, they'd be banned. (soigomaa/x) Think about it. If millions of women wore smart glasses, recording men's behaviour, conversations, comments, their driving & bar chats ... can you imagine the panic? Trust me, smart glasses would be regulated before you can say 'Meta'.

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

I've just added another 25 paintings to the print shop I'm trying out after a year of no income, which brings the total number of paintings there now to 50. I'm not yet committed to it, but if it goes well I will add more paintings. #SpéirGhorm fineartamerica.com/profiles/4-l...

I'm approaching the anniversary of the last time I received any kind of income. Having to cancel my annual sale of original paintings and close my print shop, it's been not great for an unpaid carer. So over the next couple of weeks you'll see me push unsold paintings and try out some print options.
