Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

"gracie mansion belongs to all new yorkers" they say, about a new york resident who was arrested in new york

[my head is repeatedly treaded on by the crowd. it's not a deliberate act; i have simply been mistaken for tarmac and appropriately treated. the cracking turns no heads. the agony is silent. the world moves on]

all of them?? obviously???

SHUT YOUR DOOMER ASS UP & REGARD LIFE AS PRECIOUS ENOUGH TO DEFEND, SUNSHINE!!!!!

Cheshire Women’s Institute branch to close in solidarity with trans women A Cheshire Women’s Institute branch has announced it will close at the end of March after members voted overwhelmingly to suspend the group in protest at the national organisation’s exclusion of trans...

So sad, and so unnecessary. We offered a legal indemnity, against all legal risks, to the leadership of Women's Institute, and Girlguiding, so they could continue to include all women.

Both declined.

Green win shows progressive voters are now voting against Labour as well as Reform Gorton and Denton byelection shatters Labour strategy of neglecting its core base while focusing on Reform defectors

I generally assume that political parties know what their constituencies think better than the rest of us do: they spend so much money on polling and focus groups.

But I would be *amazed* if they understood how viscerally they are loathed by young progressives for pushing trans people under a bus.

When will there be a TRANS of Hormuz

‘Age Verification’ could force trans people to out themselves to use the internet Automated online ID checking systems add new potential dangers to having a mismatching ID.

New for @theverge.com: i wrote about how Kansas' trans ID law and the "age verification" systems popping up everywhere tie into larger efforts to force trans people to out themselves both IRL and online

Almost as if our rights our intertwined

"mimic". a parrot can mimic a human, does that make the parrot shakespeare

estrogen is magic 🩷

In clear detail, how the Labour government and NHS are deliberately deceiving the British public in order to ban the existence of trans people under 18

And yes, banning existence is genocide

I hate the labour party so fucking much babes

Leslie and Brianne are at a gas station. Leslie, in rabid-poster mode, exclaims "I'm so angry!! I have so many opinions on other people's opinions of the new Pixar movie!!" Leslie, going to town on some Fresh Gasoline, replies "You need to drink more gasoline. It makes all my thoughts and opinions melt away!" But then she sees the price of gas and freaks out- it's "A Lot!"

this @keithstack.com comic is both 4 years old and topical again which is giving me low-grade anxiety

You're not going to make any money doing this and no one is going to read it, so you must hope for a secret third thing to happen

You *might* think paracetamol cures headaches but we, the science understanderers, hunted for all the evidence relating to 16 to 18 year olds ONLY taking paracetamol in studies usng a comparison group who received psychotherapy as an alternative, and who have never taken aspirin. We found NOTHING.

the last few times iran has accepted a ceasefire, the US and israel have taken the opportunity to restock their weapons and then surprise attack iran again. "there's zero point in engaging in diplomacy with us any more" is what that strategy teaches

oh i’m sure this won’t lead to a rationing of trans healthcare under the guise of not wasting it “for those who need it”

i just read a news story about a chiropractor who murdered somebody and as the judge is sentencing him she reminds him "you took an oath to do no harm!" no he did not he is not a doctor!

"iran should show restraint"

Stop this horseshit. There was a genocide under Biden.

You sound completely full of shit pulling this.

America is an out of control rabid dog. Period full stop.

there is literally nothing wrong with being trans and anyone who says otherwise is a fascist who would kill and/or enslave your entire family at a moment's notice

the only way to reverse the ratchet is to break it
