1) not being a penguinologist

2) receiving a threatening email purporting to be from Teresa May (no relation)

3) comparing sexual consent to a cup of tea

I have a game. What were you "known" for on Twitter?

I'll go first. I'm the woman who caused Dave Ramsey to mass-block Royals Twitter.

I tend to be highly suspicious of any powerful/rich/well known man who puts a great deal of energy into pointing the finger at trans women and or migrants.

Emmeline May @emmelinemay.bsky.social · 4d

And obviously, there's a clear link between "getting away with it" and "control over the narrative" and key to that link is diverting attention away from themselves and towards trans women and migrants.

Rich and powerful men are way more of a risk to women and girls than trans women or migrants

Not just because they tend to get away with abuse, but because of the control they have over the narrative of who is the biggest risk to women and girls

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018.

bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

Max Colbert @mc00.bsky.social · 12d

Really important NYT investigation finds that the ADF has been working with Reform, 'courting the party since at least 2024' and that the British arm 'orchestrated Mr Farage’s appearance in Congress, reaching out to ask if he would like to give evidence on censorship'

I have trans women friends who’ve been living authentically for decades - how are they going to start using the gents?
I have a tall cis female friend who’s now scared to use ladies loos because she’s been harassed several times.
This code is both cruel and unworkable.
Please write to your MP.

🚨This is an emergency🚨

This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

Bookmaking! Thanks! Love your writing.

I learned at school that "double negatives" are generally considered poor grammar, and tend to be used either by bad writers or those who want to obfuscate meaning.

"Anti-antifa"? Just plain fascism.

Yeah, i wasn't thinking about it being a romance so much as in how different messages can be communicated from minutes to minutes (lol)

Emmeline May @emmelinemay.bsky.social · 19d

I absolutely love that idea.

I wonder if it would work in a This Is How You Lose The Time War sort of way, with tensions playing out with different minute takers/chairs

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

We must condemn *both* the genocide being perpetrated against Palestinians and violence perpetrated against Jewish people

Because fundamentally it's the same thing: innocent people being harmed or killed as a form of collective punishment for something they didn't do and have no control over

Emmeline May @emmelinemay.bsky.social · 23d

It is possible to feel of these things at the same time:
Devastated by the attack in Manchester & horrified by the extent of anti-Semitism in the UK

Horrified by war crimes being perpetrated by Israel on the Palestinian people smaller countries by their more powerful neighbours

Ok there's only about 7 of them left, three of them are extremely angry women who are yelling mostly incoherently, covering topics such as how there are 70 thousand men inside who all want to molest our children & our Nans would be ashamed of us.

It's definitely coming to a natural end.
