We think this challenge is incredibly important – it goes to the very heart of whether trans inclusion is still lawful. But it is impossible without your support.

I look forward to hearing this again, in a documentary about what a shameful episode in our nation's history this was.

I am in Paris for the first time in my life, right now. It’s incredible. The infrastructure, the walkability, the accessibility. If American cities just tried to give people the *option* for this, we could see the same thing!

When urbanists take pictures of a Paris street (like Rue de Rivoli) showing all the people on bikes now taking advantage of protected infrastructure, it’s not just because we “like bikes.” It’s because we’re picturing the gridlock if they were driving cars. And the public cost, pollution, noise…

My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

I did an infographic on Marx recently. This seems like the appropriate follow-up. In one way or another, I used AI in creating this post. I also used a word processor, my brain, thinking time, coffee, discussion, and about 50 years of reading.

This is excellent.

Okay, something slightly new. I wrote a story in anger. It's heavy and it made me cry. It is about UK trans stuff. There isn't much plot; it's mostly conversation. There's a lot of talk of suicide. If this doesn't sound like much of an advert, it isn't. write.as/inclusions/a...

I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.

on 2 August 1943, prisoners in Treblinka rose up against the SS. They attacked guards and set buildings on fire. Around 300 prisoners manage to escape, but only 100 were not recaptured. All remaining prisoners were murdered. Discover more via The Holocaust Explained

A great example of why the "make eye contact with drivers and wear reflective clothing" advice for pedestrians and cyclists is bad. Nothing short of physically limiting where and how drivers can operate their vehicles will work.

I’ll never apologise for calling all anti-trans organisations in the UK ‘anti-rights’. It is both analytic (to be an org dedicated to stripping away legal protections of trans people is to be “anti-rights”, there is no poss. world in which one is T and other F) and a synthetic a posteriori truth
