Some ground rules that have helped us: - Go outside your bubble, try new social media channels - Don’t underestimate the power of WhatsApp (although less so in the U.S.) - Post on the Instagram grid, not just stories - Watch every Instagram video until the end before sharing - IGNORE THEM

I know absolutely nothing about Lula except that i saw someone share a clip on insta of him in celebration kissing a trans woman politician on the cheek and oh my god is that a radical act for a politician in 2026 so lets fucking go

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THIS IS REAL I THOUGHT IT WAS AN EDIT

It's true

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

microsoft have essentially bought up and bulldozed almost an entire american arts industry as a half-hearted distraction from their main project of trying to monopolise and rent-seek global digital infrastructure and military contracts

Damn me, but all things are queer, come to think of ’em.

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.

People of All Genders Empowered to Maintain Delusion That They Have A Chance With Gillian Anderson

i'm wishing you all a very Don't Get The Discord Subpoenaed Day to all who observe

What horseshit. She embraced gay people at the height of the AIDS crisis, embraced trans people at the height of the war against them, supported Black communities and artists, and wrote the most pro-worker's rights feminist pop song of all time. Neutral my ass

This bar is one of my favourite places on earth

Big if true.

“Over the last two decades and beyond, we have won trans community and connectivity on a scale that was once unthinkable. We have made allies across every part of public life. We have helped hundreds of thousands people to improve their lives.” An important reminder by @notrightruth.bsky.social. 🏳️‍⚧️

Big shout out to all the people who were mad at me for not wanting them to vote labour cause they were “certain labour will be better on trans rights than the tories“, they couldn’t have done it (segregation) without you

we'll always have the dance floor and the gay union climbing gym and the mandate of heaven

"why does the UK change leaders so often?" there are diminishing returns wrt how long each vessel can house thatcher's spirit. by the end of the century we'll be getting through 1000 prime ministers a day

[AFTER KEIR STARMER RESIGNS] ME: PAL: ME: PAL: Lot of human rights abuses for a hu- ME: A LOT of human rights abuses for a human rights lawyer!

I'm in Paris, and the entire time I've been here I've seen advertisements for Le Monde's special issue TOUT LE MONDE DETESTE L'IA (All the World Hates AI). I've seen graffiti on metro ads marking them as AI SLOP, and a big scrawl at one stop that read F*CK IA.

Dig deep and find it in you to be as real as Sam Neill was

it rocks that Lindsey Graham lived to see the US lose a war with Iran and then immediately died lmao

look, young posters, i need you to understand something. right now, quantity is a quality all of its own. no need to only post bangers. you just need to fire everything and see what sticks, much like Lindsay Graham's bowels did as he shat himself to death so hard it jettisoned him out the window.

“Well they cant do a ban without also changing nhs regs” Exactly. They don’t actually want to ban trans conversion practices

Wow, a lot happened while we were sleeping

Sweating out all my problems spending many hours dancing with beautiful queer people is everything I needed, I'm real happy right now

British politics is so fucking stupid that we can be in the second extreme heatwave of the year, in the middle of the second major oil/gas crisis in 5 years, and one of the biggest union leaders will be briefing against ed milliband cause net zero bad and middle class

Summer's the best excuse to get the arms and shoulders out

dude you gotta love people. thats the whole point. if youre not loving people what are you even doing

when labour lose the next election ppl they're going to revert to pretending they care about disabled ppl, lgbt+ ppl, immigrants, Black ppl, poc, and so on. don't let them get away with that.

why did you transition, right answers only My partner threw a play at me in the pandemic (Travis Alabanza's Overflow), and I was a mess of tears by the end knowing that I needed to get on estrogen immediately. I was right, I've never been happier

The world is scary but coffee and sun are healing

Gorgeous wedding today, and this dress might be my favourite thing I own

As for cis people: protect your trans friends in whatever way they need, whether that's care or distraction or practical support

This is the moment of truth for everyone who considers themself to care about social justice. The words of Martin Luther King are particularly apt right now. "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
