When British journalists introduce people to their trans friends are they like: "this is Neilly, who was assigned male at birth but despite this now identitifies as a female"? Just kidding, they don't have trans friends.

To all my trans siblings in the UK. May you find the resilience to defy and the unity to succeed in your defiance. Piss freely, piss righteously, piss honourably.
Many of us feel that the measurable harm conducted by someone in life should not be magically shut off from conversation upon their death. This is merely history judging Liddle, rather quickly.
Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.
Rod Liddle was a cunt. And now he's a dead cunt.
If someone I knew died, and they were a prick, and I was at the funeral, I wouldn't be saying it to their family that I thought they were a prick. Public figures are obviously different. They chose to have their opinions out loud and for money. They'd accept the praise they can accept the scorn.
Nothing brings out the fullness of Irish culture quite like the death of a beloved pedophile.
Yes! She would still have offered to cook him dinner! The cultural myths about abuse are so inaccurate. Most people who are abused initially think it's not so bad or even their fault. Most! Most people who are sexually assaulted don't realise that's what happened to them until later. Most!

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
Fuck it. I am sick to the back teeth of people today saying they never heard Glen Hansard was a groomer so therefore those of us who did hear it shouldn't talk about it. He groomed teenage girls. He was well known for it in certain circles. He would give out burner phones for them to text him from.
Happy Cork Pride. Three words to describe this chapter of our lives.
I think spoof movies have had their day but a feature-length parody of Backrooms that really commits to the bit and goes to unspeakably strange places is a potential masterpiece waiting to happen.
One of the most important issues of our time is that the future of humanity is presently being authored by people who have nothing but total contempt for humanity and seek the erasure of everything that gives being a human meaning. It’s not just annoying. It doesn’t just suck. It’s existential.
We're at Cork Pride's Family Picnic in Fitzgerald's Park all day if you're around to say Hi.
Unsolicited emails from potential sponsors to our YouTube channel, and their follow-ups always say "just wanted to check if you were STILL open to this offer?" even though we never replied. Autistic Neilly is like How Dare You! I never overtly indicated my openness to shit.
"Wait, what? You mean you guys didn't want... you didn't want the big evil mass hysteria machine? What you want us to just... find stuff? Find stuff when you search for it? Just that? You don't want the... You're sure? You don't want the death and the...the madness? No? Alright, suit yourself."

One of the oddly affirming things with transphobes in our comments is that they come in with a fantastical and extensive version of my transition that exists in their minds (fake tits! Surgeries! Years of hormones!)
I want Drawfee to draw whatever animal John Fetterman transformed into people from.
Look, just because he died young, I'm not going to pretend I'm not aware that Glen Hansard groomed a teenager and had a well circulated reputation amongst heads and people in the music industry for chatting up teenage girls, and probably worse.

When a billionaire - like JK Rowling - is determined to destroy a human rights organisation - Amnesty International - either by way of capitulation, which makes them useless, or by suing them into oblivion, this is no different than billionaires like Trump and his oligarchy destroying the ICC /1
Boy George using white reggae to show the world how absolutely not colonised it is. Hilarious evil wank.

I think John Cleese should take one last silly walk off a silly bridge.
I see they've gone and made an "Ebenezer" origin story. ... A Christmas Carol had an origin story rather built into it, no?
Getting a surprising amount of these.

Andy Burnham auditioned for the part of Keir Starmer and lost out on the second round. The next UK Prime Minister after him will be an automaton made of wood, with gelled hair, that automatically cuts funding to social programs. Pundits will applaud the wooden boy's ability to not fall over.

150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.
They're coming for every inclusive thing. This is authoritarianism by litigation.
Rowling looming over a progressive Irish cultural festival with her menacing insinuations & a phalanx of expensive lawyers dashing off legal letters. And all because the organisers don’t want transphobes peddling hate at their event. A nauseating spectacle of spite.
