Hello new followers! I am trans and autistic but wrote a book that is about neither of those things so neither of those communities tend to know about it. It’s called I Heart Politics and it’s a good read, I promise

katherine dee is herself a reactionary who has written for TERF blog fairer disputations. her bio there cites her work at american conservative, unherd, and the washington examiner. interesting how the bio she chose here doesn’t reflect that bias. the work itself features no actual citations

Is Nick Fuentes Winning Over Women on the Left?

There are the Tumblr “Nickstorians” and sincere fanfics. But are young, liberal, possibly irony-poisoned women fetishizing or even falling for the hard-right streamer with the “groyper” following? Wri...

In approximately a month, Sam Altman will say “whoops, we have seen 25,000 senile grandpas kidnapped for ransom by five-boobed-lady AI porn bot rings, we’ll pretend to introduce a tool that will fix this”

somehow, many people will believe him

and thus launches a mass Grandpa Extinction Event

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

Amazing work by the GLP... The case being made by the ECHR is crumbling at the very lightest touch...

"A trans-exclusive approach by [duty bearers] would likely engage s.19 EA 2010 in that such an approach may well put trans people at a particular disadvantage relative to people who are not trans. This would require the service provider to justify the trans-exclusive approach. The possibility that a trans-exclusive approach will require justification appears to be accepted by the EHRC DGs (S87),"

OK. I would love it to bake for seven hours, really slowly,

in an Aga, but I don't have that or that time.

Yeah, yeah, it’s nice for the morally superior people to point out that immigrants aren’t actually going to need A level English, but that’s not really the point. What’s the message?

The usual one: we’re going to be TOUGHER on those evil immigrants trying to infiltrate our precious bodily fluids.

I will write more about it at some point but I sometimes think the only real social privilege medically-transitioned trans people get (if we are chill) is being able to hang out in both gay men’s and lesbians’ spaces, whatever our gender

Talia "AFAB" Bhatt ♀︎♀︎ @taliabhatt.itch.io · 14h

I think most discourse about X identity in Y spaces is usually had by Z people in no spaces

me reading discourse about trans men in lesbian spaces and nodding respectfully before suddenly realizing I'M the trans man in lesbian spaces but I just don't think of it like that bc it's just like. "hanging out with friends" to me

One mistake Labour made in their first year is loading quite a few new costs onto business all at once. They are risking doing something similar on immigration, I think.

Why @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @chucktingle.bsky.social et al won't is clear: they THINK their reelection is locked up. They know the Americans who care don't have another option. And the second level leadership in the party is doing what they did with Biden: pretending nothing is wrong!

From Rocky Horror to the Muppets, Curry’s extraordinary career made him world-famous. Then, a stroke left him paralysed. The actor talks about his cocaine years, his friendship with David Bowie – and ...
