The Tories continual assault on the rights of trans people can get so entirely into the bin.

Their understanding of ‘biological sex’ is not just limited, it’s fully inaccurate.

UK folks on the electoral register only: a friend has asked me to pass along this fundraiser to help unseat vile transphobe Joanna Cherry as the MP for Edinburgh SW (current polls project a 51% chance): www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/elect-dr-s...
Elect Dr Scott Arthur as the MP for Edinburgh SW
My campaign to be the next MP for Edinburgh South West started in January, but we need more funding to take us to election day - July 4th.

This is a big one. I've had people say "what do you care? You're not trans" and quite apart from the fact that normally the person in question has no way of knowing whether I am or not, they're always amazed I create a negative consequence for what they thought was safe bigotry
Covid recovery continues - I feel more like a person but had to lie down after tidying my coffee table. So. Watching lots of #Dimension20 and checking for spider content for @voxossa.bsky.social

Ravens and Crows can be hard to tell apart. You can do this by counting their wing feathers- called pinions. Ravens have 17, and Crows have 16. Thus the difference between Ravens and Crows is a matter of a pinion.

Give me a rural churchyard and I will give you a library of a thousand stories born of stone and bone. Spirit-whispered tales of forbidden love, generational curses. Tales from the crowded soil of wonders seen, feuds that refuse easy burial. – #CLNolan

(pssst @aabria.bsky.social I know you're wearing the M/L in the product photo - can you give any insight on the sizing for a fellow tOl?)
@criticalrole.bsky.social very excited about the Fearne kimono but uh... what the hell is this sizing? The flat chest measurement for the 5XL is only 13.75 inches???? #InclusiveSizing #WhatIsThisAKimonoForAnts #CriticalRole

I will never trust in basic human decency again after covid. I don’t assume that people generally give a shit about anyone but themselves anymore. And i certainly don’t credit them with basic reasoning skills.
Will never forget that we wiped out at least one strain of the flu with masking and as soon as people had the opportunity to drop masking they didn't even hesitate and we proceeded to get a wave of articles talking about how masking was for dorks.
What I miss about covid lockdown times is the fantasy that some aspects of society would come from it changed for the better, or that we would learn anything at all.
