Overly earnest millennial.

Also, trans rights are human rights.

Let’s take a look at the whole “there are too many black people on TV” thing, shall we?

After Pochin claimed Black people in TV adverts “made her mad”, all her supporters tried to use 👇🏼 as their excuse for why she was somehow justified in her overt racism.

Spoiler - she isn’t! 🤨

Racism really is illogical bc how are you threatening HBCUs bc a white man shot another white man at a white rally at a white university in what has GOT TO be one of the top 5 whitest states in the country??? Black people couldn't be further from this if we actually tried.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people

reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

The worst thing about racist Robert Jenrick’s pretence that his racism is justified to protect his daughters from men from ‘ backwards’ countries is that 97% of women who contacted Rape Crisis said they knew the person who raped them. 43% of girls questioned in a national survey

In 1861 Isabella Beeton published "Beeton's Book of Household Management". This book went on to become an empire with various "Mrs Beeton" book being publish all the way into the 21st century.
However, the original publication holds a dark secret.

Good intervention from @brianbeutler.bsky.social demonstrating that liberals need to internalize and act on the idea that right wing bad faith actors "view liberal freedoms as loopholes to exploit in their pursuit of power."

I don't know how many people understand that disabled people are looking at losing £450 a month, every month, potentially for life.

Money that pays for the help, aids, and adjustments that they need to exist in the world. There are disabled people who wouldn't survive these cuts.
I want to see non-disabled people shouting about the disability benefit cuts. If you spoke out about trans rights, abortion rights, or migrant rights in recent weeks? Good on you! If you aren’t doing the same for disabled people, ask yourself why.

the thing is, ‘concern’ about immigration is directly proportional to how much media coverage is focused on immigration, so even assuming Labour reduce the absolute numbers by 2030, the only way that it will make voters happy is if the press decide it should

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic

🧵NOT BY ME, this is a post from someone who wants to remain anonymous but works extensively with trans people pre-transition. They were asked by someone “why do you think that’s so much [coverage of trans people] in the news at the moment?”

This was their response:

When you share this image, you are blindly repeating one of the most unapologetic, vile pieces of transphobia ever uttered on television. Spitting on Brandon Teena's grave for Internet points. I'm posting this because I still see it randomly posted without any context.

defending trans rights is near and dear to my heart, but even if you don’t personally know someone who is trans, you should still support and protect them because good people protect people from injustice
