idk who needs to hear this but Ariana Grande is straight up body checking / doing other proana memes on her socials + talking about how she & her friends send each other audio of themselves on the treadmill
and criticizing that behavior is not "policing women's bodies" it's criticizing proana

"Biological people" was always where this eugenicist rhetoric was headed - ie "biological women", "biological pronouns" - because they genuinely don't believe trans people are even human. This dehumanizing language is essential for them to paint trans people as genetically incompatible with society.
Kishwer Falkner in The Times talking about the rights of "biological people". As compared to trans people, who are, of course, non-biological.

I'm trying my best to cope, but the treatment requires funds I can't afford under the current circumstances.

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

the BBC did a great service by identifying 442 GPs who don’t take mental health seriously. presumably, they will now release the data.
I’ll just hold my breath while I wait.

The fact that many GPs don't believe people with mental health conditions will not be news to those of us with mental health conditions who have had to deal with these cunts.
Kudos on the BBC for continuing to manufacture consent to take away our rights and healthcare though.

when a queer creator, especially a furry creator, has a kink account or NSFW account separate from their main, it's your duty as a bystander to shut the fuck up and keep going instead of Moral panicking abt it and sexually harassing that person by "exposing" their fetishes and porn to random people

Chiropractors and homeopaths are at best deluded shmucks endangering their patients with useless/dangerous hokum, and at worst malicious parasites destroying the lives and bodies of people in their care for money.
Chiropractors are absolutely doctors. Just like someone who has a doctorate in humanities, or education, is a doctor.
