I am a cis person and I am going to make this commitment - if you want to transition, I will not give you lukewarm support, I will fucking cheerleader for you.
Transition is a hard thing, made harder by dickheads being horrible. I am so proud of anyone who does it, absolute rockstars.

Absolutely this. Labour are doing positive things for white, cishet, abled, employed, neurotypical people while screwing over everyone else.

What about the people who AREN’T “ordinary”?..
The minorities, marginalised, exceptions to the rule, the bullied, ignored, and forgotten?
What about them? Or do they not count???

Labour MPs tell us what a wonderful job they are doing and how much they are helping us, yet always disable quote posts. @lucympowell.bsky.social thinks they are rewiring the country for ‘ordinary people’
Is rewiring a modern word for demonising, oppressing and ostracising?

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

It's not illegal to use the right toilets and no one should adhere to Mary-Ann Stephenson's headmistressly call to "follow rules" that serve no good purpose, breach the UK's human rights obligations, will be bad for all women, and debase trans dignity. Make her appoint her sodding toilet police.

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.

It’s very funny to me that countries are trying to pass laws banning teens from social media until they’re older and can “handle it” as if the last decade hasn’t been about watching rich middle aged men nuke their brains on Twitter and then run the USA via shitpost.
Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.

My oldest wouldn't latch on a tit and my ex wife stopped making milk early. What the fuck were we meant to do then?
Oh, and my youngest is lactose intolerant, so we could give him breast milk, or give him the special formula that didn't have him shitting explosive diarrhea constantly.

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.
