I saw earlier the sheer number of US Stratotankers flying out of Tel Aviv, so this is just some of the horror we're going to be looking at.

People breathing that are going to die.

Firstly, death to America.

Secondly, I'll just separate my plastic recycling and use this paper straw, shall I?

DING DING DING I just started ANOTHER podcast, come get your podcast. This one’s about detective fiction and being transgender and it has @miamulder.bsky.social and @absobloodylucy.bsky.social on it, and it’s been so much fun cooking it up

This discourse on self-diagnosis is why the neurodivergent community needs to stand with the whole LGBT community.

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane

This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

First I've seen it confirmed. Both Steensma and Kaltiala, two figures prominent in bad science re trans kids, advised the Cass Review's York Studies.

With developer verification, Google's Apple envy threatens to dismantle Android's open legacy Questions remain as Google prepares to lock down Android app distribution in the name of security.

For the moment, Android users still have the final say in what software runs on their increasingly locked-down smartphones, though later this year, Google plans to seriously curtail that freedom in the name of security.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Trans Youth Suicides Skyrocketed In UK After Care Drawdown; Government Covers It Up A Freedom of Information request to the National Child Mortality Database reveals that 22 trans children under 18 died by suicide in England in 2021-22 alone.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.

Then covered it up again when caught.

Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.

the confirmation of contemporary transphobia as a political movement has been the brainchild of a boys club made up of some of the most disgusting monsters in recent memory to explicitly keep trans women disenfranchised so as to subjugate and exploit us for their own sexual gain is like

It’s been 3 months now. The fact that people have not immediately left Bluesky en mass is really strange to me. I do not wish to sit at the proverbial table with the nazis, so while Bluesky is a platform that bans Jesse Gender but allows Jesse Singal, please find me on Mastodon instead ✨

it’s so cool that the only use case for ai is to distort everyones perception of reality. this needs to be heavily regulated immediately, especially when a government can do this

I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

🚩🚩🚩Massive red flags against any therapist who is actively promoting their services on the β€œBeyond Trans” anti-trans hate group website.

They sit alongside notorious β€˜gender critical’ transphobes who aggressively lobby for the removal of trans rights!
