The UK government really will take queer kids' phones away during school and age-restrict their access to queer information rather than abandon Cass, FWS, the EHRC's anti-trans hate, renounce genitally-obsessed bigotry, and go to therapy.

On Remembrance Day, The Trump Regime quietly took down a memorial to Black WWII Soldiers in the Netherlands, because of course he did.

Recent gifts from the grandkids: drawings of rainbows, hugs, and the common cold. Today’s special: a pot of chicken soup.

Just confirmed that our youngest daughter, currently living in the UK, will be home for several weeks over Christmas. She and our son-in-law can work remotely for part of the time, and uses vacation days for others. They will be accompanied by our youngest grandkid, born last April. Huzzah!

Not caring about transphobic bigotry and letting it fester to the point it costs you personally…

…seems like a familiar response to fascist attacks on minority groups…

…it hasn’t got the best track record.
Tim Davie, according to sources actually in the meetings, is not pro trans. He isn't anti trans, no. But he doesnt understand or want to advance trans issues in any meaningful way & the rise of transphobia in the BBC can be attributed more to a lack of action rather than any direct decision making.

“The only thing necessary for the rise of evil is that good men do nothing.” Although I would hardly call Davie “good”, this still rings true.

I avoid reposting twitter, but this is well put. Directed at Musk but captures Trump, too. I think it's tragic that such men are so clueless about the beauty of life. I believe their lack of joy is why they try to squash life and light from all of us. Living joyfully is how we will overcome.

Removing the memorial is just downright evil.

Read the thread. These men were given a horrendous job in the war and they did it. They deserve to be remembered for their courage as much as any white soldier.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

As we’re looking at the first serious snowfall of the season, we’ve planned a day in the kitchen: spatchcock a chicken, making some meatballs for the holiday, perhaps some Christmas baking, etc.

Waiting to get the snow tires on. Expecting a significant snowfall tomorrow. Not that we have to go anywhere, but it takes that first storm to remind people to switch over to snow tires

It’s not easy being trans in 2025.

But I’d rather be trans than a bigoted genital obsessive.

Every one of those people is a huge problem to a sane world.

When then-Liberal MP Leona Alleslev crossed the floor to the Conservatives in 2018, no less than interim leader Andrew Scheer called her "principled and courageous" for taking that step.

Now? These same hypocritical snowflakes are crying foul as the party of the toxic Poilievre implodes. #cdnpoli

Rosie is so biased, it is a disgrace to see her on CBC. The CBC is supposed to be for all Canadians, and the politics should remain unbiased, but Rosie doesn't care and will continue to spread lies for her favorite party.

Contact CBC and try to get her fired, if you'd like! Others have!
Here's CBC Barton trolling out a kindergarten level course in deficit economics for her MAGA supporters. And throwing in praise for Stephen Harper as our greatest economist since 2015 when he tabled his fake surplus. #cdnpoli
