Gotta shut down the factory that makes this kinda guy
Hey, no working on Sunday! #Caturday #CatsLover #CatsOfBluesky
This makes sense. Trans People are nomadic pastoralists - while they have historically been valuable trading partners for sedentary agrarian cities, the advent of stirrups and their proficiency with horse archery made them a fearsome foe to urban areas from The Yellow River to the Pannonian Plain.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoTrump: "We had transgender for everybody. Men in women's sports came ravaging through our cities."
It is awfully encouraging to see that supposedly educated professional politicians feel that insultingly stupid hyperbole is the best way to sell this particular bowl of delicious shit to the public.
Owen Boswarva@owenboswarva.bsky.social · 2w ago"AI is likely the most significant technology in human history," says Kanishka Narayan MP, the UK's new Minister for Artificial Intelligence, in a Linkedin post www.linkedin.com/posts/kanish... #techpolicy #AIpolicy #PPEOxford #koolaid
JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 3w agoAmnesty 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.
Born on this day in 1593, in Rome, Artemisia Gentileschi. One of the great painters of Baroque Italy. Endured shit and painted about it. Here, herself as a martyr, Saint Catherine, 1616.
The best edit I’ve seen in weeks, you absolutely have to turn the sound on for this one.
TOTP2 is on, from the year 2000, and sweet holy jesus is that a time period with a crippling identity crisis.
If there is a single thing that unites the idea of The North in England, its that The South can fuck right off with its nonsense
Quick Ideology check (because it matters): You know That Guy, the rich one whose politics you find rightly repugnant and dangerous? You know the one- Do you think he personally assessed all of those subjects individually, and just came to the wrong conclusion every time, or...
Happy “liberal arts professor helps save the Union” day to all who celebrate
In case any of these rabid warhawks are reading this, although unlikely since they dont seem to read anything else on the subject: STABLE, HEALTHY, WELL EDUCATED SOCIETIES WHOSE CITIZENS ARE HAPPY, AND PROUD OF WHERE THEY LIVE, ARE BETTER ABLE TO DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST ANY THREATS THEY MAY FACE.
'willful destruction of the HE sector' is another answer to "why do people hate Starmer" question. Those are all "labour voters" [generally] and they are being fucked.
Plashing Vole@plashingvole.bsky.social · last mo.Certainly describes my situation: facing redundancy from a humanities job in weeks, no chance of another academic role, and at a university that went from teaching 15-20 languages to none.
Technically, they’re Remains now.
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · last mo.A fifth of Leave voters have died.
"LGB-no-T" campaigner Julie Bindel says she'd BAN pride if she could, in order to protect children from predatory gay men. Absolutely fucking appalling. A whole column — "A Pride of Perverts" — going on like this. TERFing really cooks the brain.
Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts
Been thinking a lot lately about Anton Walbrook's monologue in the refugee office from THE LIFE AND DEATH OF COL. BLIMP (1943)
Ten years since Brexit you gave them that and now they’ve moved on to “deport anyone with an immigrant parent who fly-tips” And that folks is why you never give fascists an inch or “listen to their concerns”. What an abject failure
An elaborate shitpost - which took me forty-five minutes when I should have been trying to sleep, and which was a fun exercise in gilding the lily - but a shitpost nonetheless
It bears repeating, and repeating: until there is meaningful reform of the political system here in the UK, there are no electoral solutions to our problems, and there are plenty of problems.
Look, will the money he makes for JK Rowling go to hurting and killing real people? Sure. Will Rowling stop with trans people? Of course not - it'll be autistic people next. Is anti-trans sentiment a key point of 21st century fascism? Definitely. But: he gets to play Dimply Dungus the Farting Ogre.
Matthew Dow Smith@matthewdowsmith.bsky.social · 2mo agoHey, UK acting people, it would be great if you just came out and said you were totally cool with transphobia instead of making us all wait for the slow trickle of casting announcements for projects with the very openly transphobic lady to know that you suck.
Once again, the wider Union finds itself baffled by the millstone that is Northern Irish 'democracy' chained round its neck, complicated by the epic lack of knowledge and understanding of how we got here.
People still don't reailze how serious this situation is. America has a history of racial riots, white people grouping together to terrorize a community. And once one such event happens, it becomes fuel for the next. Who knows who the attackers were, so no prosecution or punishment. Just fame.
