I really like the folks I’ve found on #FilmSky and between that and #DaggerHeart I’ve been busy.

For example: Today was a banger of a movie day while I packed and tidied my house a bit.
I watched:
Morbius, because I hate myself.
Shirkers, because I was curious.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League —because my girlfriend convinced me to give it a second chance (she was right).
The Wrath of Becky

If you came for discourse I apologise that mostly I’m hot and interested in movies these days.

Transgender Liberalism - Is not in fact a real thing for most of us. If you want to argue for proletarian rights, the fundamental right to bodily autonomy is right there and the one underpinning all of our expressions.
Nonbinary people aren’t the enemy of my rights, the denial of my autonomy is.

Historians thought this trans woman was murdered by the Nazis, but she escaped and lived to be 74
We've always been here, and even in the darkest times - we will survive through them. We'll always be here

Visibility is nothing if we don't translate it into understanding. Let’s reclaim it
At a time of unprecedented awareness of the Trans+ community, we have never been more misunderstood

We think this might be the quickest way to get a judicial finding that the UK's transphobia breaches our international law obligations. goodlaw.social/2ul0

The judgement by the Supreme Court in For (some) Women Scotland might breach the EU Withdrawal agreement - we are litigating to find out.

Hatred of any group is horrible, but why isn't there an "anti-transphobia commissioner" then, or an "anti-racism" one?

I think the correlation between trans people and autistic people is because (although I can’t speak for all autistic people) we’re not great at handling it when Things are Wrong.

Everyone is making too much noise.
My body is the wrong gender.

Was at Stroud pride discussing attendance with a queer friend. We both observed that settled gay men and lesbian couples seem in very low attendance compared to trans and queer people.
Obviously for those who can fit the cis-heteronormative pattern there's less call to show up but there's also 1/3🧵

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

The reason that the NYT editorial board, the Atlantic writing staff, etc hate Zohran is because he’s one of the only living progressive politicians with genuine intent of leveraging power

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics
Should we deport people who have lived here for many years without committing any crimes? 61% no, 24% yes.
Should we should deport people as quickly as possible even if it means more mistakes, or do our best to make no mistakes even if it takes longer?
Quickly: 19%
Minimize mistakes: 74%

Finally I finished this strange deep dive finishing season 5 of The Handmaid’s tale. And I don’t know what to say about my mental health or why these are the things I chose to watch. Whatever this says about me I know I’m really struggling right now with the past. With the future.

Later today I watched ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Directed by Martin Scorsese. And it reminded me of my time in Oklahoma. The race riots and their violence were still having lasting effects when I lived there almost 20 years ago. Oklahoma is such a fascinating setting that’s often overlooked.
