Old friend I had has re-blocked me, and gone on 99 rants about "transphobes" and jesse singal, all while hornyposting, spamming fetish nudes, and going on about his self-discovery of being Aromantic and how the LGBeebies are so mean to him about it 😑

Since Brexit, Northern Ireland's economy has grown 8.1% whereas GB has grown by just 2.4%
So not being in the Customs Union has cost us at least £40 billion.
40 billion pounds.

I can't leave twitter until I find more people who see through the pharma industry, and realise how screwed up psychiatry is. Follow if you're looking...

The lie is that we know the line between mad and normal, and can tell you on which side of the fence you belong. The lie is that it is science, rather than ethics or social norms, that can tell us what kind of behavior is acceptable and what is not.

The lie is that psychiatric treatment is objective medical treatment, as clear and direct as your medical doctor treating a broken wrist. The lie is that by accepting a psychiatric label, you embark on the road to being cured.

"The lie is that we know what mental illness is, when in fact we have no workable definition of mental illness. The lie is that we have succeeded in domesticating emotional suffering, that we have placed it in a grid with clear and familiar boundaries.

In terms of the random stuff BlueSky chooses to show me, it's almost entirely less-inflamatory than what I see on Twitter.
In terms of the abuse I see directed toward the people I follow, it's almost entirely worse than Twitter.
It's a weird dichotomy.

I wish what you’re saying is true, but I just worked this election.
People are exhausted with having everything they say and think policed. It’s why they voted Trump back into power.

I’m not a conservative. I just think the fringe left has become inherently fascist and illiberal.
Going down a Conservative path because you took your idea of progressivism too far is not really leaning your lesson you need to learn... Unless you're plan is to do a Russell brand.

Thank you!
Update: @jessesingal.com and @ducksfortheduckgod.bsky.social helped me see that I was wrong in calling anonymous posters cowardly. Fear of harassment or worse is justified, not cowardly. It's just not the world I want to live in. So, whether I'm brave or just foolish, here I am. Wish me luck.

Even London is a nightmare
“London isn’t Cockney anymore, except when it is; sometimes the London dialect overlaps with Essex but also it doesn’t at all; people under 30 speak MCLE, but a character you’d play wouldn’t, except if for some reason you did. This will also all change in five years.”

If you weren't allowed to be trans, you would still exist. It's not "right to exist", it's "right to be trans", and that's very different

My Brexit freedoms include being poorer, my children's grandchildren's work and travel restrictions and becoming a resident in a country that's an international laughing stock.
I'd give these freedoms up in an instant.
