i feel like i need to share this oldie but a goodie today

A tumblr post that reads "WHo would have believed that the perfect wikipedia photo caption could have been improved upon?" Two identical images are then side by side. The first caption is "Piper Kerr, a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904". The Caption for the image on the left reads, "Piper Kerr (right), a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904"

This smug & patronising tone beloved of the aggro centrist is simply running out of road. The world we're living in that everyone agrees is rapidly going to shit, is the product of us being force fed the aggro centrists preferred medicine for the last 40+ yrs.

Trans women are famously the group of people who are so decadent they need to do crowdfunding for the bare necessities every month.

If women’s autonomy over their own bodies is the first thing you attack, maybe goddamn sit with your feelings. Quietly.

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

Keir Starmer speaking in the Houses of Parliament today cited "Britain's experience in Nortwrn Ireland" as their thing they are bringing to the table of the Palestine 'peace deal' - which let's be clear: is an acknowledgement that we have 'done an Israel' and got away with it before.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

I bet all the bureaucracy of making sure only a tiny portion of the population get the vaccine is less cost effective than just handing it out.

elia ayoub 🌱 @ayoub.bsky.social · 3h

To be clear: the decision to deny most people in the UK the covid vaccine is related to money, *not* based on a public health concern. In other words, Labour did not allocate enough money for covid vaccines so their "cost-effectiveness" end up the determining factor. www.gov.uk/government/p...

For the development of advice relating to COVID-19 vaccination from autumn 2025, JCVI has resumed the use of a standard cost-effectiveness assessment, in line with other routine vaccinations in the national immunisation programme and the JCVI code of practice. The advice is based on modelling of the impact and cost-effectiveness of vaccination where clinical outcomes are stratified by age, high-risk clinical disease groups and patients with immunosuppression. The use of cost-effectiveness is a key pillar in the consideration of immunisation programmes, ensuring that the substantial investments in the programmes are a good use of public money, and that those funds would not be better spent on other healthcare interventions. This has led to a more refined approach to the targeting of the COVID-19 immunisation programme, with a focus on individuals where there is good evidence of a high risk of hospitalisation and/or mortality.

Vetoing HRT stockpiling is so fucking ghoulish.

If trans people make it the next 4 years en masse, it will be from our own strength, not because of the Democrats.

"You can change your name, but you can't stockpile on life saving care!" Kiss my ass.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

Acknowledging sex is complex isn’t “unscientific.”
The fact is: sex has several domains:
-Chromosomes
-External genitalia
-Internal sex organs
-Sex hormone profile
-Neurological sex
Acknowledging complexity isn’t denying biology. It’s recognizing its reality.
