You’re telling me there’s a leftist queer Jew injecting anti-monarchism directly into the public consciousness? Yes, I’m down for it. Let’s see how this goes. Also, he ran a good pub quiz and is kinda hot and will give everyone comically large page 3-level DDDDs

So yeah okay I've got some time.

Most people dismiss Orwell because he was a snitch and a traitor who collaborated with the British government to kill communists and queers.

Did you also know he was a rapist? Probably not because it tends to get talked about like this (from The Orwell Society):

First, the relationship was considerably more erotic than Jacintha, (conceived, after all, under Queen Victoria) could confess in print. Second, Eric proposed marriage to Jacintha before leaving for Burma, and was wounded by her rejection. Third, in September 1921, Eric tried at least half-heartedly to rape her, which naturally drove a wedge between them. We need to reevaluate her “solution to the problem of his life” in the light of this new intelligence.

She admitted that she and Eric had later engaged in what used to be called “heavy petting” (“some intimacy but not full intercourse” was how she put it). Jacintha also wrote Eric at least two erotically suggestive poems, one imagining herself as his vampire lover, the other envisioning the two of them reincarnated: Eric as Sarasate, the gipsy virtuoso, and herself as his violin.xiii It can probably be assumed that Jacintha was sending Eric some confusingly mixed messages.

do not listen to pundits, even trans pundits, who have given up in their hearts on the dream of liberation, who have preemptively sold out in hopes of becoming part of a world which is already dead and rotting

liberalism has no solutions, only empty rhetoric and a policy of adopting the ways and means of their nominal opponents until they themselves are an ineffective shadow of the monsters currently stripping the american carcass. it will not save you. it will not save us.

we are not cannon fodder for "revolutionary fantasies" any more than sylvia rivera was cannon fodder for queer liberation. we are its beating heart. every trans person is proof that humanity can know itself better, can express its joy, can live authentically and with intent. we ARE a revolution.

standing together makes us strong. standing with labor makes us strong. standing with leftists and revolutionaries and the oppressed around the world takes a billion struggling workers and makes them an army which can push the course of history toward peace and justice.

Maya Forstater sees women as holes to be penetrated.

Explains a few things about her, that. 👁

Here's a dated copy of Maya Forstater's tweet where she reduces women to 'holes'.
One of the reasons her tweet was so misogynistic is that Vaginal Agenesis affects around 1 in 5000 cis women.
Several surgical techniques for trans women were ORIGINALLY developed for cis women with vaginal agenesis,

There's a character in Sniper Elite Resistance whose fun fact that comes up when you hover your binoculars over him is that he's 'an avid collector of Japanese cartoon illustrations'. So I always say 'Lookin for it? LEAVE' when I shoot him.

I remain in a very tight situation much, so I'm asking for help. I hate to keep sharing this and hope that it will pass soon.

Thank you so much to those who've helped! Anything means everything, and I appreciate you very much.

If it matters: this is my birthday season! Also saving for a wedding!

When a transgender woman dies of natural causes because of old age, there will be a GP somewhere who will blame the HRT.

We sure got over all that “turns out Peter Mandelson was secretly running the show all along” stuff didn’t we. Back we go to self-congratulation over The Scoop Of The Century.

When I see announcements like this, I have to ask - how many of the people out there who are so vehemently anti-migrant would actually pass English at an A-Level standard?

Labour is telling you VERY LOUDLY who to vote for if you value human rights. And it's definitely NOT LABOUR.

Jolyon Maugham KC @goodlawproject.org · 16h

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.
