Both systems of belief are often used to reinforce rigid hierarchies, control over bodies, and a desire to return to an imagined "pure" or "natural" social order. That's why we say "Trans Rights are
Human Rights" πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

One of the top rated comments on an article about yesterday's ruling was "well done UK now deal with the invaders". Transphobia is akin to white supremacy. It's a gateway and sets a precedent that ALL of our rights can be rolled back.

What's the nicest way someone has told you that you are long-winded? My friend recently told me, "I love the way you go out of your way to really paint a picture."

Feel like the β€œart for all” argument when it comes to AI generated images is so weak because you wanting to see what you like as an animation is just narcissism not art

I was wondering why I was in such a good mood then realised it's because I had recently eaten a 10/10 brownie

I keep β€œsent from my iPhone” at the end of emails because it means that despite me being out and about and busy I took the time out to email you back. Like a little digital forehead kiss.

The problem with being a millennial on TikTok is that I have money to buy a lot of the tat that I’m being advertised through TikTok shop. And I will buy it.
