well, this was certainly not rotten
Jemma "Pre-order a Folio of Murderers" Topaz@jemma.bsky.social · 3w agoOkay, 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've spoken a lot about my own personal heartbreak over this horrorshow as someone who begung transitioning over a decade ago, but let's also spare a thought for all those trans people who are not out yet, and are facing a much more hostile world if they ever want to take that plunge.
Trans+ Solidarity Alliance@transsolidarity.bsky.social · 3w agoNew: the EHRC’s code of practice is set to come into effect on 5th August, after the minister made a commencement order that has now been published. More to follow. www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2026/78...
Jo Cox was too problematic to be an avatar for the Be Kind Or Else brigade as she was a young left wing woman, and the guy who killed her is literally the Hero Voter of all the mainstream parties now

James Goodwin@jamesgoodwin.bsky.social · 3w agoMy god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.
His name has been released since this post was made. Joan Sebastián Guerrero. The states are killing us
unraveled@unraveledpress.com · 3w agoWith two people dead in Memphis in four days and one the same week in Houston, that's four people federal agents have shot and killed over just nine days. July 5: Tyrin Johnson July 7: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo July 8: Alfonso Ivy July 13: name not released yet
Many of the groups Amnesty wrote about are discussed in our episode and I’m grateful to the lawyers who helped make that possible youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

what they learned from minneapolis was not “don’t do this again” but “keep it quiet next time”
Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 4w agoReminder: Memphis is still “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Task force members have reportedly killed at least two people in four days.
on only three occasions has the World Cup been won by a country which is neither majority or plurality Catholic - West Germany in 1954 and 1974, and England in 1966. By 1990 West Germany was plurality Catholic, while 2014 estimates put affiliation with Catholicism narrowly ahead of Protestantism

Heile VAR-opplegget er grunna på eit kategorimistak, der ein trur det er mogleg å bli kvitt det subjektive elementet i dømminga og etablere nøytrale fakta om hendingane på bana.
Mainlining Skuumkoppe zero to not go boisterously drunk in 30C and too many percent humidity
The World Cup has been a real wasted opportunity for a public ethicist or anthropologist to write a piece about how easy it is to conflate a state (and the state's history) with its people
Every time I read a story about gynecology it's always something like "doctors discovered women could experience pain in 1989 but decided not to act on this knowledge for 20 years"
19thnews@19thnews.org · 4w agoTrials found that Carevix — a portmanteau of “care” and “cervix" — reduced pain during IUD insertion by up to 73 percent and bleeding by 78 percent, compared to the tenaculum.
Norway's success at the World Cup comes from a ruthless, biathlon based, approach to identifying and winnowing talent whereby everybody has to ski for miles and miles and the slowest are shot
Mike Goodman@themlg.bsky.social · 4w agoI have seen four or five columns trying to claim that Norway’s innovative youth sports approach is responsible for their World Cup success. And it is one of the truly least ball knowing arguments you can make. Tellingly not one being made by anybody who paid attention to soccer before this month.
KAJ strikes again
Johan Schalin@schaljoh.bsky.social · 4w agoMeawhile in Stockholm 🤓. Jakob Norrgård from Vörå, Ostrobothnia, Finland, performs the aria Nessun Dorma in his (quite archaic Swedish) Vörå dialect (re:subtitles). The syllables follow the Italian original closely, but the text tells a whole different mundane story 🤣. www.svtplay.se/klipp/KPBArG...

Chris Farnell@thebrainofchris.bsky.social · 4w agoWho is the most genuinely evil fictional villain you think would be a hoot to hang out with socially? Not the ones who you think were actually justified - we want proper bastards, but really quite pleasant on an interpersonal level.
the banlieux: not fun to live in but have produced 100 world cup players so who can say whether they're good or not
bendwalsh.bsky.social@bendwalsh.bsky.social · 4w agoto get player development right, US Soccer needs to take a cold hard look at itself and figure out why the Paris suburbs are not part of America
I mean when you think of killer apps of the past, I don't remember Excel or Mosaic needing to hijack the off switch in order to persuade people to try them.
why did you transition? wrong answers only. because I didn't want the same vowel in my name as that meme blonde footballer
