My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Elon Musk Just what an incredible fall from grace… From innovative, eco-conscious, cool nerd… 
To depraved, entitled, evil, war-mongering, self-radicalised fuckwit.

Shame on the uk media

As a cis woman, my No. 1 criteria for deciding whether to vote for a candidate is “Do: they explicitly support trans people?” I have yet to find anyone who supports trans rights who doesn’t also support: - people from other minority/ marginalised communities - the environment - financial equality

Even if that opinion comes from his TERF wife

again: no lgbt+ person, immigrant person, disabled person, Black person, brown person, should be legally mandated to pay for the bbc. it has been completely captured by daily mail types. the bbc is supposed to represent everyone and currently they only represent right wing straight white ppl.

@gabyhinsliff.bsky.social has spent a lot of time over the last decade legitimising transphobes and their bullshit.

The UK TERF movement essentially boils down to a bunch of entitled middle-aged Karen’s who were once criticised for some mild transphobia, and instead of apologising and moving on, they doubled-down, demanded to “speak to the manager”, and made their entire personality a bigot who won’t “weesht”! 🙄😖

jk rowling says trans ppl are ‘the elites’ in society. nobody knows if she made this claim from her castle, her super yacht, or her office in number 10 downing street.

Conclusive proof that the UK puberty blogger ban is bogus and enforced by anti-trans hate. www.attitude.co.uk/news/world/n...

Coming soon to the entire UK

I believe that 👇

"under a government pledge to tackle everyday annoyances." I don't expect my government to tackle everyday annoyances, I expect them to govern the country. We're living through a polycrisis. Climate change, biodiversity collapse, war, racism transphobia & sexism on the rise, AI, poverty. Get on it!

Fairly open racism and far right talking points from someone who is, last time I checked, a Conservative peer.

I have just messaged the PM about the Labour MP’s appalling comments. I have called for him to remove the whip from her, and that lack of action indicates his tacit support for her appalling discriminatory views. I urge folk to do the same.

The Dept for Health and Social Care told us to take down our spoof video criticising Palantir’s NHS contract. We checked with our lawyers, and we’ve not done anything wrong. So we’re reposting it, in case you missed it 👀

The NHS's revised guidance on single-sex wards is cruel, unworkable and LGBTIQA+ Greens calls on Labour to withdraw it and reform the Equality Act.

Labour have no right to try to claim the moral high-ground while they refuse to fix the Equality Act and create guidance like the NHS ward guidance.

I don't want to cancel YouTube premium, but I will rather than give a penny to the BBC

UK petition on the matter

If you want to know where we are with transphobia, this is a *Labour MP* whose mum was *in hospital for a medical emergency* and she's still more worried about a trans person *in a mixed-sex ward* than about, for example, her mum

All the ‘gender critical’ transphobic women pushing for “biological sex” being the defining characteristic of how we determine what anyone is able to do/ have access to… this is where it leads! 😖 Happy now, TERFs? 🤷🏼‍♀️😣

A girl won the role of Seymour in South Grand Prairie High School in Texas. Then, the district freaked out because of Texas' anti-trans and anti-gay law. So they tried to strip her role and give it to a boy. She refused, so now they are cancelling the play. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Absolute WORST guest I’ve ever been on with… A pathetic Trump apologist First he defends the tiger video And then listen to the state of what he says when I challenge him on Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine…

Zelenskyy says the United States has chosen the wrong side of history. Zelenskyy is right.

If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Just what will history judge? Was beloved author Sally Rooney really a dangerous supporter of terrorism? Was the banning of her books under anti-terror legislation a sign of sanity? Or will it be those who cheered on the erasure of Gaza judged as monsters? It’s a tough one!
