Good people of Bluesky, I know you will be as shocked, confused and discombobulated as I am to see a “gender critical” parroting religious right, anti-abortion talking points. I am shooketh I tell you!
WHY DID NOBODY WARN US?

Narrator: trans people & allies have been warning us for years…
Kathleen Stock sharing a nonsense article on the ‘sex based abortion conspiracy’ on X with the caption ‘Sex-selection seems to be only aspect of abortion that progressives feel confident in objecting to. Aborting a baby because it's a baby = silence. Aborting a baby because it's a girl = howls of outrage. From baby's perspective, there isn't much difference though.’

Stop calling Elon Musk the world’s richest man.

He is the world’s greediest man.

Rhetoric matters 💅🏻

Hamilton was brilliant. I can see why it gives far right racists big hurty feelings. Lucky we got to the Kings Theatre early since it wasn’t on at the Kings but the Theatre Royal 🙈🤣

🧵Some very sensible changes proposed for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿‘s archaic abortion laws. Frightening how many will parrot the far/religious right rather than read for themselves or do any critical thinking at all. aBoRtiOn uP tO biRtH is NOT a thing www.gov.scot/publications...
The full list of recommendations are as follows: Gestational Limits 1. The existing 24 week limit for most abortions should be retained. 2. Abortions after this gestational limit should be permitted under certain Grounds. Grounds 3. No specified Grounds should be required to access abortion care up to 24 weeks gestation. 4. Decisions regarding abortions over 24 weeks gestation should be made in good faith by two healthcare professionals, who must agree that the abortion is appropriate, except in cases where an abortion is immediately necessary to save the life of the pregnant woman, in which case one healthcare professional may make a decision. 5. That Grounds for an abortion after 24 weeks' gestation are amended in an updated abortion Act to the following:

‘The Rest is Politics’ podcast did a poll in Glasgow. Probably a reasonably broad political spectrum in the room, mostly in agreement that we are witnessing the birth of a fascist USA.
A large bar chart on display on a screen behind the podcasters. Red bar is 82% yes to the question ‘do you think we’re witnessing the birth of a fascist USA?’. 18% ‘no’ bar in blue

How is this even real?!
News Week post reading “Mark Epstein asked Jeffrey Epstein in an email to ask Steve Bannon if Vladimir Putin has "the photos of Trump blowing Bubba."

Defending pedophiles is sickening. Protect girls. It’s such a dangerous world for them.

“Sex offender Jeffrey Epstein referred to Donald Trump as the "dog that hasn't barked" and told his former companion Ghislaine Maxwell that an alleged victim had "spent hours at my house" with Trump, according to email correspondence”

Is anyone else finding America particularly terrifying right now? Here we have a “pro-life” Christian man calling for Stevie Nicks to be executed and pastors are preaching that the 19th amendment that allows women the vote should be repealed.
Centre for Reproductive Rights tweeting “This is a must watch! Stevie Nicks speaks openly about the abortion that allowed her to continue her career at the height of Fleetwood Mac's rise. She makes it plain: access to abortion made her life, her art, and her voice possible”. Anti-abortion podcast bro, Eric Conn retweeting with the caption “She is a murderer and should have been put to death. The idea that women are victims in cases like this is insane.”

Oh yes, I’ve read this and loved it. I actually found the chapter on Stormy Daniels particularly interesting. If you enjoyed this, I think you’d also love ‘How to Kill a Witch’

America is terrifying. We need to be proactive and not just sit and wait for this to happen to us. Also really recommend this book, especially if you’re but a teacher. Education is a line of defence against fascism. Support education and access to books.

This is Lila Rose, the unhinged anti-abortion grifter. Her hot take ‘say no to vasectomies’ shows what they are leading up to. Forced birth, no reproductive control for anyone. It’s almost as if it was never about sAviNg tHe BaBiEzzz

Loving Matt Haig’s posts.

Read books, kill fascism
Fascism is rising and reading is declining. This is not a coincidence. This is why racists burn libraries and Donald Trump loves the poorly educated.' Books save civilisation. Fight fascism. Read more.

This finally arrived and I have a million things to do but I can’t put it down. The Nazis sent over a thousand 🇳🇴teachers to concentration camps for refusing to sign up to Nazi ‘education’ policies. We teach critical thinking, have strong unions and build communities. They are scared of us alright! ✊

Meme of Trumps head as a massive balloon (from Time magazine cover) jd Vance is holding the balloon, I don’t even know how to describe him the wee creep

This is real. Actually real. King Trump is crying about not liking his photo after Time magazine crawled up his backside
Trump looking as gross as ever on the magazine cover and lacking in hair Trump posting on ‘truth social’, ‘Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time. They "disappeared" my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one. Really weird! I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out. What are they doing, and why?’

Can’t believe I’ve never read Fahrenheit 451 before now. Amalie something writing the 1970’s can be so scarily relevant
Photo of text from the book reading ‘go! Faber turned the pages. 'Mr Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going, a long time back. I said nothing. I'm one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the "guilty", but I did not speak and thus became guilty myself. And when finally they set the structure to burn the books, using the firemen,’

I can’t imagine how evil you’d need to be to think ‘let’s just kill another journalist of two while we still can’. I recognise him. What a brave soul 💔

I’m obsessed with the banned books staircase at Newport Public Library 📚 Some of my favourite books ever are here. Love ‘The Kite Runner’, ‘1984’, ‘I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings’, ‘Mockingbird’. Has anyone read any of these ‘stairs’?
A staircase and each step is the spine of a banned book. From the bottom to the top, ‘I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings’, ‘and Tango makes three’, ‘The Kite Runner’, ‘The absolutely true story of a part time Indian’, ‘the bluest eye’, ‘catch 22’, ‘animal farm’, ‘cuckoo’s nest’, ‘Huckleberry Finn’, ‘Fun Home’, ‘The Hate U Give’, ‘of mice and men’, ‘Harry Potter,’, ‘Fahrenheit 451’, ‘to kill a mockingbird’, ‘1984’, ‘the great Gatsby’, ‘Invisible Man’, ‘The Catcher in the Rye’, ‘Speak’, ‘Looking for Alaska’. Can’t make out the two at the very top.
