5/ What do the experts say?

“At its heart, it maintains and reinforces a system built on clinical control of and power over trans communities,” Dr Horton tells QueerAF.

“There is no effort to improve accountability. No recognition of institutional transphobia. No recognition of clinical violence”

Interesting to note that the trans hostile EHRCs and Labours line is pivoting hard from 'follow the law' (legal) to 'follow the rules' (social contract).

Almost like they know segregation isnt allowed under the law.

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.

Snufkin is the only dog I’ve ever known to really use pillows. He drags them into place, moves them around, makes himself comfortable …

The World Inequality Report shows that 0.001% of the world’s population hold 3 times as much wealth as half of the world population.

The 1% in the UK have almost 5 times as much wealth as 50% of the population combined.

Inequality is a political choice. It's time to tax wealth.
Graphic with title: SHARE OF TOTAL WEALTH IN UK There is a line at the bottom of the graphic that represents the UK population. Half of the line is coloured white and labelled '50% of the population combined'. An arrow points from this half of the line to a small pound sign labelled '4.6%' to represent that half of the UK population hold 4.6% of total wealth. At the other end of the line, a small section in green is labelled 'Top 1%'. An arrow points from this section to a much larger pound sign labelled 21.3% to represent that the wealthiest 1% in the UK hold 21.3% of total wealth.

People are choosing a politics of decency, courage and imagination.

They’re choosing a politics that doesn’t scapegoat the vulnerable or remain quiet on injustice.

People are choosing to make hope normal again.

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.

Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.

Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

1/3 **MAYORAL ELECTIONS DELAYED TIL 2028!**

Labour: incompetent, scared & zero regard for democracy. The devolution agenda they sprung on us a year ago is in utter chaos, they are terrified of their plummeting in the polls, and - most importantly...

It's #PortfolioDay!

I'm Carmine, a rabid lesbian and self-taught artist best known for pinups and original characters, often incorporating midcentury-modern themes and macabre elements.

Some of my SFW character designs are in the comments!

OCs, Lucita and Zoya Art nouveau inspired digital artwork of two women lying on ivory sheets against a luminous pink background with a gold art nouveau frame incorporating white lilies. The pale white woman wears stockings and a pink feather boa draped over her otherwise nude body and twists to prop herself up, a hand lightly touching the back of the other woman’s neck. The second woman, brunette and Latina, is nude except for a garter belt and stockings and crawls over her with a scarred hand resting on her hip. Their faces are inches apart as they make eyes at each other. OC, Victoria Sweet Digital painting of a deathly pale woman with long dark hair, multiple curling horns tipped in gold, and fangs backlit by a full moon against a starless night sky. She ecstatically holds a fresh human heart in one clawed hand as the fanged mouth in her palm bites into it, spilling blood down her arm. Golden light pulses at the center of the heart and sparkles through the blood rivulets. Another mouth lined with jagged teeth gapes open at the center of her external ribcage, and she holds her translucent, partially skeletal bat-like wings at a low, casual angle. OC, Mori Image of a red half-fiend woman with long red hair pulled into a ponytail sitting in a pinup pose on a burgundy skull chair. She wears a spiderweb corset in such a dark purple it's nearly black, garters, and iridescent feather collar, and holds up a finger encircled in swirling, crackling purple magic. OC, Zoya. Art deco style image of a pale blonde showgirl sitting with a pink feather boa against a gold, pink, and red background. She is smiling coyly. Her left arm and hand are skeletal, and part of her ribcage and organs are exposed. White lilies are piled behind her, and dark red roses bloom up the sides of the picture.

Hi, good morning! Clawing my way out of my depression abyss this week to present your regularly scheduled ✨danger lesbians✨
OCs, Lucita and Zoya Art nouveau inspired digital artwork of two women lying on ivory sheets against a luminous pink background with a gold art nouveau frame incorporating white lilies. The pale white woman wears stockings and a pink feather boa draped over her otherwise nude body and twists to prop herself up on one elbow, a hand lightly touching the back of the other woman’s neck. The second woman, brunette and Latina, is nude except for a garter belt and stockings and crawls over her with a scarred hand resting on her hip. Their faces are inches apart as they make eyes at each other. OCs, Zoya and Lucita Digital sketch in dark, muted tones with moody lighting of an office with the window blinds drawn shut and various objects scattered across the desk: papers and a pen, a rotary phone beneath a lit lamp, an open package of cigarettes, and a faintly steaming coffee mug. Behind the desk, a brunette woman leans back in the leather seat, her tie undone and black button-down partially opened, as she pulls a much paler, much less clothed blonde woman onto her lap. The second woman's face is hidden, presumably trailing lipstick stains down her neck. Monsterfuckery Digital sketch in greyscale of a large, humanoid monster, reminiscent of a bat or dragon, with multiple curling horns, an exposed ribcage, and skeletal wings. They pin a small woman in black up against a wall. The woman grins lovingly up at the creature and holds their large, clawed hand to her cheek.
