As the person who does most of the VM socials, let me tell you this: bluesky is absolutely the worst platform of the bunch for slapping random adult content warnings on innocent posts to bury them. Would super appreciate if you share the post below like hell, and donate a fiver!
Let's try this again... Glad tidings we bring to you and your quim! We are fundraising this festive period. Earlier this year, the future looked bleak for the Vagina Museum. But we're still here, and there's many reasons for you to become a vital part of our future... www.gofundme.com/f/btscc2

I mean, this really suggests that the whole law that was used to proscribe Palestine action is badly worded if it makes it impossible to defend in court…

Really bodes well for the plan to get rid of jury trials not causing massive miscarriages of justice when related to things that might embarrass or inconvenience the government if the day…
A reminder, Centrist have elected a leader and voted for a party thay serves above all else the interests of a FOREIGN, GENOCIDAL, APARTHEID STATE and has insourced the jailing of its enemies....BRITISH CITIZENS!!!

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.
Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.

The real “fantasy economics” is believing that a slavish adherence to OBR forecasts, treasury orthodoxy, & fiscal rules to pacify the bond markets will halt the economic doom spiral.
The status quo approach has provably failed so surely should be treated as less credible than notional alternatives!

“We need time to fully dehumanise Palestinians in the minds of our young people so that when they eventually see all the genociding they will no longer care”
So speaks a “moderate” voice…I didn’t think I could be shocked by the depths pro-Israel liberals would go to…and yet, new depths beckon… 😢

Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz says Jewish students shouldn’t have smartphones until they finish high school — so they don’t see the “carnage” Israel and the U.S. have carried out in Gaza.

“Protecting women’s rights” is now moving towards “reducing women’s bodily autonomy” is it? Colour me shocked! 😢

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.
This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

In labour this is called ‘entryism’ rather than ‘enthusiasm’ or ‘inspiration’…

All those journalists - led by Kuenssberg and Peston - who cheer-led Boris Johnson into Number 10 should be hanging their heads in shame today, and retiring tomorrow.

On Trans Day of Remembrance we remember those we have lost, and how much further we have to go.
The hate, discrimination and violence our trans and non-binary communities face today is unacceptable and we will always fight for a North where everyone is free to be themselves.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Obviously they are moving to the right too slowly and too timidly, the falling polling is just a sign they need to go right harder and faster…yours, M. McSweeney…
The more Labour moves to the right, the lower it sinks in the polls. Surely it can't be long before its election-winning genius strategists put two and two together?

Last night I made reference to the police academy films with some of the guys I play footy with and not one of them knew the films and now…hooo boy do I feel old!
