My friends, why did you stop supporting me? My life is very difficult in the tents. After losing everything, I became unable to do anything. I lost my passion for life. I need your support to survive, me and my children. You are my source of income. Anything that saves us

"Its FLESH is MARSHMALLOWS" feels like something you'd see scrawled on the walls in a gritty survival-horror game based on Ghostbusters.

I'd say they completely forgot about it and meant to do away with it when they stopped providing links from their site to trans charities several years back

Is anyone surprised by this?

It's hard to see this happening in the UK.

Given Heather Humphreys restating of far right transphobic talking points, we have to resist this in Ireland

Mould in your home causing "symptoms including fatigue, COGNITIVE DIFFICULTIES, respiratory complaints, joint pain and heightened sensitivities". Wonder who else lives in a famously mouldy dwelling 🤔

Joshua "The Crypt" Keep(er) @jekeep.bsky.social · 6h

The far-right mouthpiece who told young men to clean up their place while in front of his very clearly messy home, now has contracted an illness from all the mold in his home.

If you wrote such a fascist character in a story it would be deemed a silly caricature.

Jordan Peterson diagnosed with chronic condition after exposure to mold

Peterson's daughter said her father has a "genetic predisposition that causes the immune system to have an inability to identify and detoxify mold."

It may have something to do with continuing to meet with anti-trans groups instead of any actual trans people. It's like listening to the KKK for feedback on how equality legislation is working out

Marie"Claire : Le cancer du sein, le courage des hommes. 💀

Ok bah parlons-en du courage des hommes :
Après l'annonce d'un cancer, 20,8 % de femmes sont quittée par leur mec.
Seuls 2,9% des hommes sont quittés après un diagnostic.
Le courage des hommes. 🚮

Post Insta Marie-Claire, photo en noir et blanc un homme torse nu porte dans ses bras une femme en culotte noire. Il a le regard droit et valeureux, elle a la tête enfouie dans le cou de l'homme.
Texte : "Ce portrait saisit un instant suspendu, où l’amour et le soutien prennent toute leur force. Elle révèle ce lien profond que la maladie ne peut effacer, ces gestes silencieux, ces regards porteurs d’émotion, cette force invisible qui éclaire les jours sombres."⁣
⁣
Joséphine Neuville a photographié Aurélie, touchée par un cancer du sein. À ses côtés, Jérôme, son compagnon. "Il est cette présence constante, discrète mais essentielle, qui soutient et accompagne sans relâche", écrit la photographe qui fait partie des 40 finalistes de la 14ème édition du concours Pink Ribbon Award, concours photo engagé à l'initiative d'Estée Lauder et de l'association Ruban Rose qui réunit des professionnel·le·s du monde de la photographie ainsi que des acteur·rice·s engagé·e·s dans la lutte contre les cancers du sein. ⁣⁣
⁣
Cette image raconte "une histoire d’amour, de lutte, de tendresse et d’espoir", nous dit Joséphine Neuville qui veut, au travers cet instantané noir et blanc, "reconnaître la dignité et la beauté de celles et ceux qui avancent ensemble, malgré l’épreuve."⁣
