29 | femmedyke | transfeminist socialist but like im on a break | do not follow me if you know me from work | she/her, fae/faer
not to be pop culture brained but it is kind of crazy how libfem shit is being weaponized against ppl who are like holy shit Ariana Grande is about to die. fellas is it anti-woman to express concern about the health of a woman and the high mortality rates of eating disorders
fwiw i don't think there's like a huge onus on every single cis person knowing guidance comes today like, i don't know when every anti-migrant change takes place (even tho I should in Carceral Kingdom of Britain & NI)
One of the bigger problems the 2025 ruling has introduced is establishing that, instead of resolving equality cases based on trying to as best as possible integrate everyone's right to be treated humanely, we use philosophical debates about what someone's true legal essence is to decide rights.
web.archive.org/web/20260108... Here's an archive link of the original business guidance in case the original goes missing. In pretty clear terms the original guidance used to say stuff like "obviously, so long as the changing rooms allow privacy, trans women should be permitted to use the womens"
Begun ADHD assessment and now have 9-10 questinnaires to do with a deadline. im sure this wont go badly
Something about EHRC Guidance/Supreme Court Ruling I've been thinking about is how slow and incremental this implementation's been because we've been so vocally resistive, generating the political hesitancy from the Govt + Commission, but that also has increased the waiting-uncertainty of it all
Reading the announcement of 'data centres in Wales' the same fortnight THE WHOLE COUNTRY'S BEEN DECLARED IN DROUGHT is really. Jarring
This is a very good explainer of why the EHRC code is surprising even within the current case law This is a legislative issue, the law will need to change to unravel this mess, but a greater degree of accurate clarity for duty bearers on these points would make a big everyday difference until then
We have also written a detailed legal explainer about why we think the code of practice gets the law wrong.
Seeing Spider-Man Brand New Day a week today so you'll know the correct take on this film by then
Writing so much poetry and also a personal essay. And also a history piece. AND PROCRASTINATING REVISIONS!!!!

"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care

Mass Lobby for Trans Equality - 9th September 2026
The law around trans equality is fundamentally broken. Government inaction is hanging trans people and organisations out to dry - with a confusing mess of challenging rules and lawfare.

I've booked a Karaoke Bar for my 30th Birthday (next to Christmas, which IS annoying) but excited to belt out some singing with pals :3
i went to my friends' house last night very pleasant to catch up but two nights out on the weekend + socialising has made me a bit of a zombie and I have like 2-3 meetings today and am running my roleplaying game
Literally read the Lee/Romita run, read about how much she was developed over the 70s and tell me she's not important. One of the most important characters of the mythos
What the hell are you talking about Bob, Mary Jane even when she hasn't been the main love interest, she's always been an important character and it wasn't the 90s when the wedding happened it was the 80s and it was done in a decision between Lee & Jim Shooter
WNBA (the org) courted this. They could have nipped this in the bud, but instead they placated anti-trans activists, so now bigots have glomed onto them. If you don't tell them their opinions are vile and are unwelcome, they will destroy you or leech on you forever. just ask amnesty international

This is kinda convincing me to go see it in the cinema as a premiere Spider-Man fan (I have about 300-500 issues of Spidey) and this sort of theme coming out
That was certainly an interesting Spider-Man movie about a demographic reviled by most of society, abandoned by family and friends, and finding community in times of persecution and repression. Also the ninjas were way cooler than I expected. Well played.
mate has gotten me onto Black Star by yasiin bey & Talib Kweli (who I'm seeing in Sept) and what a banger album. I love the border works of "it's not quite conscious rap but it's not quite gangsta rap" stuff, it's just peak
you can even see how it's veering right.
I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.
