Can't decide if you want to read a sweet MM roommate romance or a thriller with a vengeful villain you love to hate? Can't decide if you want to read campy queer fiction full of fun geeky references or an angsty exploration of trauma and mental illness?

HAVE I GOT THE BOOKS FOR YOU!
One of these days I should use female pronouns for all the students in my class and feminize all the male names - citing the executive order that insists that gender was formed at conception.

See how well that goes over.

I just can't bring myself to do it though, cause it's rude.
If a teacher was calling a cis student the wrong pronouns or name it would already be an issue they'd be disciplined for! Suddenly though if the student is trans it's now Compelled Speech. These people need to use their brains instead of instantly accepting right wing narratives.

With Soju. I'm seriously a little fucked up right now. No worries. I only drink very occasionally - and this is such an occasion.

Drinking Lychee Soju with Elderflower tonic water and watching Thai BL - this is the way.

People garden and knit and go fishing for fun - when they used to do those things purely for survival.

But yeah, I think most people want to feel useful and accomplished - somehow.
Surely you mean "useful work" like creative writing, composing music, forest bathing, making art, theatre, reading, long walks on the beach, checking in on friends, seeing what funny animals you see as clouds move across the sky -- actually living life instead dying slowly under capitalism, right?
Even if society provided the food/shelter level needs for everyone, humans also need to perform useful work just for basic fulfillment. The vast majority of people cannot sit around all day letting AI and robots do everything.

(The definition of “useful work” here is malleable but still essential)

I was born in 1980, and people are shocked I was forced to use my right hand

I knew it didn't end with me, because those teachers didn't retire

But I wonder how long it went on

Also, fuck Brianna Wu
Social pressure to be left-handed...

I was born in 1987, and when I was in elementary/primary school in the 90s teachers were still trying to force me to use my right.

@janefae.bsky.social in fighting form, and she is right. The “gender-critical” transphobes are fighting a war of elimination. The suspension of the EHRC “guidance” is an important victory for us, and the result of everyone fighting back against this tyranny and hate. We must keep it up. We will win.
What happens when a minority is forced to fight for its very existence?

Here's a lesson from history that the gender crits would do well to heed.

I have tons of work to do and I'm fucking tired.

It finally dawned on me why it bothers me *as much* as it does when folks imply that straight people at pride someone make pride less safe - and subsequently complain about bisexual women's supposedly straight boyfriends - because of course that's the focus. 🙃

Because homogeny = safety is a lie.

So, just found out that there is a *series*:

Red Moon Pact
Fox Spirit Matchmaker
Sword and Beloved

I saw Sword and Beloved and put it on my list, but had no idea it was part of a series.

Streaming services are really bad at letting viewers know that sort of thing.

Reminder:

when I spoke at the anti-Trump demo in Parliament Square last month, the biggest cheer I got was when I said that transphobia is fascism.

All transphobes, including the “nice”, middle-class “gender-critical” ones, are fascists.

Every. Single. One.
The @newsagents.bsky.social framed the ADF’s growing presence in the UK as a surprising new export from the US, when they've been infiltrating the UK for YEARS!

It's willful blindness/ hypocricy by journalists who have amplified the transphobic narratives that opened the door to these groups!
"The ADF has chosen Nigel Farage to focus on, building up this ally who has the potential to be a JD Vance-like figure in the future."

Can the Christian group that influenced the overturning of Roe v. Wade bring its extreme views to the UK?
