I'm genuinely tired of seeing non-binary people being invalidated simply because they don't visibly transition or don't present themselves in a way others expect them to. Non-binary people don't owe you androgyny. They don't owe you hrt, surgery, dysphoria, or a particular appearance to be valid!

And don’t get me started on the folly of “Just In Time” supply chains…

Britons should use money we haven't got to buy food the country doesn't grow, store it in homes that don't exist, in spare rooms that got taxed away, so we can survive when reservoirs nobody built run dry because of a climate the govt won't protect. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I have turned on the heating #autumn

It's literally genocidal behaviour, and I'm sick of being told I'm overreacting for thinking that

Blurring the lines between the disabled, the unemployed, the 'delinquent', and the criminal. With a sprinkling of "traditional family will save us". Full-on fascism propaganda.

“The only sensible solution at this point is a moratorium on datacentres until very basic questions about how many we need, what for, where, and how pollution will be avoided are answered satisfactorily by the government” - @olliehayes.bsky.social 👏

there’s one true answer but it’s the correct one five minutes after game of thrones - the last true monoculture show - ended, we all collectively agreed not to talk about it again, and house of the dragon/knight of the seven kingdoms haven’t recaptured a fraction of that cultural presence

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.

I’ve had both friends and family affected by poor de-prescribing. The information is out there, but not the training. Please sign and pass on. c.org/Dc2G6spjzr

I know I am not alone in saying that my relationship with mammograms is abusive. There’s a reason I rage-wrote a short story (titled “Abracadabra”) imagining better technology. Come on science, listen to this science fiction writer and make it so. This torture should not be so necessary. 😑

I’ve done me bins!!!

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Listening to Platform Decay again. I love it so

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I don’t know why, but something about the one-two punch here strikes me as morbidly hilarious in a cosmic sort of way.

The Vampires from "Sinners" have dropped out of the Ed Sheeran tour

Friend shared this video of a man unveiling the library he hid when he fled Damascus in 2011. It’s incredible

Ed Sheeran has pulled out of his tour, triggering a by-election

I always feel slightly judged when our car gets *broken into. They take all the crap out of the pockets and compartments and leave it on the front seat. Nothing stolen bc we don’t leave valuables in the car, just crap and an aged first aid kit. * we probably forgot to lock it

thinking about how many rent fundraisers and adopt-a-rents that Lilly Wachowski funded this year (our rent team would get a little fan girly) and wishing she had JK Rowling's entire fortune to redistribute. what an incredibly good human.

I enjoy Ludwig, but I wish they'd make more use of his supernatural ability to instantaneously teleport from one end of Cambridge to the other.

Jesus Christ: after a recent ruling by the Eighth Circuit that allowed Act 372 to take effect, an Arkansas county has banned all children from checking out any books in the adult section, bringing home any DVDs, or using the self-checkout kiosk in its public libraries.

The updated COVID/histamine link thread because people keep tagging me in to explain it and I keep intending to update the post from 2023 (synecdochic.dreamwidth.org/805203.html) and just not having the capacity because of my own health shit so here is a thread I can pin

Hypermobility - the little-known 'bendy disease' that causes pain

in the name of Dolly, Tim, and the holy ghost, let us Gender exultantly and fearlessly; let us bewilder our enemies and delight those who recognize us

THE TORTIE HAS BEEN RAINED ON. REPEAT. THE TORTIE HAS BEEN RAINED ON. SHE IS DECLARING A MAJOR CRISIS. A MAJOR CRISIS HAS BEEN DECLARED.

much as the murder of Brianna Ghey mysteriously stopped being about the climate of transphobia in the UK and became about teen access to social media, the death of Jason Arday is, equally mysteriously, no longer about racism and is becoming about free speech in academia

Today’s physio was mostly “ow ow ow”

“Have Become”??? Ha!

Holy crap #TheVampireLestat has dropped on iplayer

This is literally the thought process used to deny children vitally necessary accommodations in education and I have personally witnessed it be the proximal cause of a suicide attempt in multiple cases. You're irresponsible and should stay to the academy if you don't know how the world works.
