Funny how they will deny trump being a pedophile despite the mountain of evidence, but will jump to the stupidest crumb of nonsense to shit on trans people.

PSA: there’s been an exploit for Signal and WhatsApp released that can be used to silently track you.

Temp fixes for both can be done in your settings:

For WhatsApp: Settings>Privacy>Advanced>Block unknown messages.

For Signal: Settings>Privacy>Phone number>Who can find me by number>Nobody

As it seems abundantly clear the last govt discovered some pretty unpleasant truths about 🇷🇺 interference, then buried the report, you’d think a Labour govt would be rushing to expose & deal with the problem.
An easy win, surely?
I’m not just deeply disappointed by this govt, I’m genuinely mystified.

Im so very serious

We have to remember this year. We have to commit despite multiple peoples attempts to look for clarity, and connection.

Not to debunk , or fact check but to find , cite and record

We can not survive another year of this discursive poppy show

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.
I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

There’s been a mass shooting, now is not the time to talk about gun laws

Australia

There’s been a mass shooting, we need to review our already great gun laws

I am convinced America crossed an event horizon thirteen years ago, when even the deaths of elementary school aged children at the hands of a monster weren't enough for their government to say "enough is enough". Hard not to think that Americans would rather have their guns over their children.

Amazing!! Women Help Women (womenhelp.org) is manufacturing their own abortion pills in order to make abortion safer, simpler and more accessible across borders. They designed an eco-friendly combi-pack that's easier to mail discreetly and centred around women’s experiences and needs.

A year ago I had surgery to remove an ovarian cyst. They found fibroids and endometriosis and removed those too.

It changed my life.

I cannot tell you how much pain I was in, all the time.

It took me 16 years to get a doctor who took my pain and PCOS concerns seriously.

Zootopia 2 is the highest grossing Hollywood movie of the year & Kpop Demon Hunters was Netflix's most popular movie of all time, but fuck animators, am I right? I hate reading about how huge & beloved this stuff is while knowing how hard creators have it & how it still isn't broadly taken seriously

Self-published authors are unfortunately very rapidly becoming my most-blocked demographic on here due entirely to the rampant use of hideous AI generated book covers
Just in case it wasn't clear: If I click on your profile and see that you've used AI to make something, you get blocked.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

According to Trump every known metric suggests he is doing a great job on the economy.

Every known metric except the ones he is suppressing, delaying, rewriting or cancelling, that is.

Dems soaking in corruption in the most predictable manners means however bad you think things are, the Dems still see all of this as politics as usual.

Ahh so he’s just openly admitting his absolutely abysmal and transphobic views on trans people in sports are just fully made without listening to any actual facts on the issues, just shit he’s made up based on fear mongering. Cool cool. But did you know he’s the best on trans? He said so!

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Any time I comment on shootings in the US, I invariably get told that "you need guns to defend against tyranny".

* looks back over 2025 *

.... does "tyranny" mean something different over there?
