This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old
a stat i always cite is the number of anti-trans articles in the press went from 60 in a year, to 7,500

Nothing new to push on my bandcamp, but in honour of the Day, here's some free codes for my highly-tactile pseudo-live album Back, which came out on Minimal Resource Manipulation in 2023.

This one Dril tweet in December 2023 was a more accurate depiction of actual events than anything you’d have got off newsstands, from broadcast media or out of the mouths of politicians. It hasn’t got much better since.

Generally I think it’s a lot easier to understand Reform UK and the general right wing movement behind it as the successful politicisation of being a cunt

Guess what?
The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions.

Maybe if we give the far-right more facts and context, they’ll receive them in good faith and see the errors in their analysis

New short noisy release from me. This was going to be a self-released tape, but instead it's a self-released Bandcamp download. Cheers

Interviewer: There are aid trucks, UN aid trucks that are unable to enter Gaza, and not allowed to distribute aid while people are starving. But [private security contractor] SRS was able to bring in Domino's Pizza to one of their sites?

Whistleblower: Correct.
