Even if you don’t care about sex workers losing one of the few voices in public life that spoke for instead of over them, you should 100% care that they were refused funding for not toeing the line of the parties in government.

We are heartbroken to announce that the Sex Workers Alliance Ireland (SWAI) is closing our doors after over 16 years, due to a lack of funding.
Since our foundation in 2009, we have brought an alternative voice to the dominant narrative about sex work in Ireland.

It's hard to pick from the rogues gallery of murderous ideas, but sometimes I feel the most dangerous thing about modern conservatism is its transparent desire to destroy the fabric of truth in daily life.

Trans people can’t fight this on their own, cis women need to start leaving and boycotting these organisations that exclude trans women.

The Victorian insistence on fencing away help from the undeserving is a mental trap that causes misery for everyone, including its advocates.
Basic Income looks this in the face and says “Cash for all. No questions asked.”
It is why it works. It is why the evidence for it is never enough for them.

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

This part is *infuriating*. This cis woman heard an 80 year old trans woman say, 'This is the only place I've been respected as a woman IN MY LIFE.'
And did not immediately think, 'I will fight every inch like a dying badger to keep her in my organization.'
Absolutely pathetic.

they would blame rachel corrie's murder on tik tok if they thought you were dumb enough to swallow it
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”
