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 · 3h

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."⁣

Related to this, every "gender critical" fundraiser ever is either "these people have rights, I'd like them not to have rights" or "these people agree people have rights so I'm suing"

The average LGBT+ fundraiser is "I'd like healthcare and to eat tomorrow please"

Which one is the "luxury belief"?

graham linehan’s latest escalation is hiring ppl to dox and harass trans women. 🤷‍♀️

jus imagine for a second that a cis man was doing this to cis women.

society says not only is it okay to do it to trans women but it’s fine to publicly crowdfund to pay for it. 😕

Let's hire a private detective!
Here's where we are: for wears, Ive been reporting a group of men to the police. They ve harassed dozens of people.
the harassment and death threats they send my way, nothing happens. When others report them, nothing happens.
But here's what does happen: the police investigate us for talking about them.
Ine grotesque nature or this colacerason would be laservano trom a oritance. Unortunatty, fi not as a ostance, and it's been going on for years.
So I've decided to do something that feets wonderfully ridiculous and also completely necessary, hire a proper private detective. Someone who actually investigates things. Novel concept, I know.
I'm deughted to say that our prece on Melody Uawion has resuited in members of his tamity ottung m touch. And that s what we can do without a private detective. Think what will happen if we get professionals on the case.
Picture it: a licensed imestigater with a proper case file, following leads from Sussex to Capetown, gathering evidence the authorities keco oretendina doesn't exist. Well comale everything, oresent & to indroundent abservers and every maic)
outlet we can find.
What Your Money Gets
• A licensed investigator who actually does the job
• Document searches, survellance, evidence gathering
• Property documented findings that can be used legally or journalistically
Iknow vou're sick of the Cancel Tax. I'm sick ct it too. But ths onels dicent. This one micht oroduce results that and
decoly satistving no matter where you are in the foht. The l& detective work. And when tis done, we'll have something
Why It Costs What It Costs
The goal looks high because this isn't some bloke following someone to Tesco. This is a proper irvestigation spanning multiple juriscictions. Were not just atter a few bad actors. We want to out all of them.
Every donation puts us closer to exposing something the authorities have worked very

30 acres is this much:

NOT the actual 30 acres, just a photo from google of what 30 acres of forestry looks like, in order to give an example of the size.

Removing under 25s from adult services as per Cass would not fix the problems with either waiting times nor lack of capacity within services, both of which are being generated by traditional GICs, which are an abject failure.
