Over 150,000 came out in full force for London Trans+ Pride to say loud and clear: Trans rights are human rights 💖
Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
People of #Hookland, I am calling on you to help David's manor recover from this awfulness.
Cat Vincent (he/him, Useless Eater)@catvincent.bsky.social · 3w agoThis is me, asking you to donate to a church's GoFundMe. St. Mary's is the local church to the Walthamstow street that burned down last week. They were refuge for people who just saw their homes burn. David Southwell of #Hookland lives opposite there. Shocked I was 1st doner. gofund.me/f5a441fd1

Another fantastic read from Mary Chiney, this on the dire need to preserve the archive of Nigerian cinema: "To view the early Nollywood soundtrack era simply through channels of ironic, millennial nostalgia is a profound failure of cultural criticism." thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

Sunken Lands by Gareth E. Rees
Planet Earth is a forever changing place, and climate change is something that is always in the news, what with climate deniers on social media and the frequent news of lost ice shelves which cause rising sea levels, it seems we've lost perspective of what this means for our species as a whole, and how we've failed to learn from our mistakes from the past.

Your regular reminder that when speaking about young people, "innocence" is merely a fanciful euphemism for "ignorance". "We want to preserve children's innocence" usually means "we want to keep teenagers ignorant".

It's International Long Covid awareness day! For many people Covid is now seen as 'just a cold' but for millions of us it's a chronic, life-limiting condition, and frankly, a pain in the arse (head, legs, lungs etc). One thing you can do to make a difference: wear a mask in public when you are sick.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
very grateful to The Quietus for publishing this essay- on everyday fascism and the promise and problem of “beauty” as an inadequate but therapeutic response to the ugliness of the present - plus there are some thoughts on disco and Patricia Highsmith- this felt like a risk but I’m glad it’s out

FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now? Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests? Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

Some buildings cast a haunted shadow. In their umbra a remberance of fear. For every castle ruin the tourist board tries to sell as romantic ruin there stands a tower which was terror warden. We live in a landscape ghosted by old violence, a landscape of psychic bruises. – #CJosiffe

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win
Matt Ford@mford.bsky.social · 9mo agoEarle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.
I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit
