Fuck the herald (even if they have good people working for them)
🏳️⚧️ Last night, as vigils marking Trans Day Of Remembrance were held across Scotland, The Herald gave an award to For Women Scotland naming them Campaigners of the Year.
These awards were sponsored by ScottishPower, a company who regularly champions diversity.

Can @zackpolanski.bsky.social please explain why he has not yet met with the parents of the Sussex ICB scandal? The children are being tortured by NHSE. Please explain why this issue is not a matter of urgency? They have been trying for weeks now and you still have not responded.

The level of child abuse I've been reporting on from the Sussex ICB scandal has deeply traumatised me. I'm taking the weekend off from reporting to recover.
I feel sick to my very core.

💡I got heating in my flat today for the 1st time (in central Kyiv).
Scheduled power outages (deep gratitude to repair workers!) mean we have electricity only a few hours a day. It is bad, but still enough to charge all devices & keep on working despite it all.
Hopefully we will get through this.

The reality is gender critical women will get barred from single-sex spaces. Looks based criteria for entry is the definition of prejudice.

Zelenskyy has posted a deeply difficult, ten‑minute national address. It is honestly heartbreaking to watch. I’m sure translations are already circulating and you’ll find it online, but the first point you need to hear is this:

Haven’t forgotten, haven’t forgiven.
This Trans Day of Remembrance, I remember Eden Knight. She passed away shortly after I came out in 2023, after being forcibly sent back to Saudi Arabia and detransitioned by her family. The funeral deadnamed and misgendered her. She was given no dignity, only hate.

This Trans Day of Remembrance, my heart hurts thinking of all the people we couldn't carry through to the other side of this moment in history.
Amidst all the fighting we've done for our community, amidst the unshakeable belief that we will win in the end, grief still takes hold.

A swedish/ danish co production by Benjamin Christensen and one of the weirdest films ever. Part documentary, part exploitation and 100% fun.
The effects are still magical and the atmosphere unique and it is as highly recommended as a film can be

The Charity Commission has just opened an investigation into the hideous transphobic lobbyists at Policy Exchange. 👇
“We think it’s long past time that the Charity Commission created real disincentives to breaches of this nature. In effect they amount to a misuse of public money, and if the Commission fails to do so we will not hesitate to challenge it in court.” goodlaw.social/9azv
After Good Law Project lodged a complaint against the rightwing lobby group Policy Exchange, the Charity Commission has launched a formal compliance case.
