📢 NION Women Statement on trans women and girls being excluded from Girlguiding and the Women's Institute.

We are deeply saddened that both Girlguiding and @womensinstitute.bsky.social have been placed under pressure that has resulted in trans women and girls being excluded from their organisations

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Is anyone able to help out with this? Just £25 more needed

No meds for a few days because doctors fucked up and didn't send my prescription to the pharmacy, so will be at least 2 days before my meds are ready to collect. If anyone can help out with £30 for weed money to help me through, that would be awesome

We hope that Justice happens and everyone that was involved with the attempted attack is held accountable. This is scary and dangerous but hate groups like this should not be able to do this and we’re not going to be silent about it or take it. It’s time for Justice for once be on our side.

Imagine if Regan had stayed an actor. Imagine if AIDS had been handled like a major public health emergency instead of disregarded as “gay cancer.” Imagine how many people could still be alive. Now imagine how many of them might be in public office.
#WorldAIDSday
I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

and quite frankly, if people aren't slamming the brakes on their use of AI when they learn about how it's poisoning BIPOC communities, killing the planet in general, causing psychosis, etc. they won't give a flying fuck about the "everyone can make art!" messaging 🙃

but saying "everyone can with practice" feels a bit like saying everyone has the same 24 hours in a day

I wish I could draw, but it's not worth the physical pain and frustration I know comes with trying (and I have tried many, many times over the years)

plus it would take time away from my writing

I think encouraging people to keep at the art they're doing because improvement *does* come from practice is great! I love seeing experienced artists cheering on people who are newer to a shared artform, I think that's really wonderful and important!

I understand why people gravitate toward the "everyone can do art if they just try!" argument against genAI, but we seriously need to acknowledge this is not everyone's reality and that is STILL no excuse to use the planet-killing plagiarism machine

Equally, if you don't like the newer editions, you can keep playing the older ones. No one is coming to take your books.
