Damn right, I'm a wonderful bard

Bring back having a sense of shame
Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.

Good news!
Earlier this year I shared reports that the land around the Cerne Abbas Giant was up for sale
I’m delighted that, after lots of conversations, the land has now been bought by the National Trust (who already own the Giant): www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

very funny to me that both liberal and radical feminist legal policy are complete and utter failures of projects because in response to a situation where "boys" want to play with girls and associate with girls the response by the state is to ban this to ensure it's either become a patriarch or die

don't want to think of the cruelty and level of misogyny involved in telling a trans girl she can't make friends or do anything with other girls because she is insufficiently female. just a thing. the level of physical & sexual abuse this entails towards trans girls all the time

Furious at this. TERFs and Gender Critical people are a loud, radicalized, wealthy minority, forcing groups who've done the right thing for years into horrible positions that none of them want. Stop buying Harry Potter. Fight for your trans brothers and sisters. They'll come for you next.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry
girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

I don’t know how it would be done but I think, very soon, we’re going to need to look at legislation that prevents extremely wealthy individuals from using that wealth to force policy change through repeated funding of ideology-driven law suits

For non-Brits: nobody can afford to get sued by revved-up wingnuts and crackpots armed with JK Rowling’s money, and nobody wants to be the next organisation protested by the far right and monstered into the heart of the earth by the world’s most poisonous media outlets. So they are folding.

I’m sure someone people will say, regarding the news that trans girls will no longer able to join Guides, oh well, they can just go to Scouts. You know what? It’s not the same. I could have gone to Scouts back in the 90s but I didn’t want to. This removes the option. This is discrimination.

they've not said explicitly that it is due to this case but yes it's 100% not their choice and is due to not being able to afford to defend infinite appeals against a better-resourced opponent

the guides have made it abundantly clear that they do not want to have to do this, won't be excluding trans women from volunteering, etc but that they simply cannot defend themselves in a legal challenge against unlimited resources

We haven't remotely got a grip on the availability of social media or extreme porn. The onus is still on women to pre-emptively defend against being raped, rather than identifying predatory behaviour and curbing it. Instead, headlines and funding and bluster about trans people!

This whole inquiry is just classic. 22 months on from part 1, and Lady Elish is having to point out that despite all being v approving at the time, police and government just...are not implementing the recommendations with any degree of consistency or urgency. Meanwhile, women continue to be harmed.
