Cis people, how many times have you been asked to describe how you masturbate, and what you think about when you do, to access healthcare on the NHS?

"most of the outrage directed at this event ["Quiet piggy"] that refuses to analyse the connections between the discursive positioning of women, other animals and oppression.
Perhaps because sexism and misogyny are (at least nominally) frowned upon but speciesism isn’t?"

So many people turning the "quiet piggy" back onto Trump. Here's why that's a bad idea. #quietpiggy #Trump

After attending another seminar in which I'm strongly advised to adopt a more standardized social scientific writing style and structure, this essay from Roxani Krystalli was a joy to encounter.

Tänase Liivalaia trammiuudise valguses huvitav, et Järvan avas lennujaamas trammiteed, mis avatakse tegelikkuses heal juhul võib-olla järgmine suvi. Tea, kas talle uues valitsuses kohta pole, et pidi linti lõikama kiirustama?
Galerii: Tallinna lennujaamas avati teine trammi tagasipöörde ring
Tallinna lennujaama kõrval avati reedel teine tagasipöörde ring trammidele, mis võimaldab tulevikus panna lennujaama sõitma rohkem kui ühe trammiliini.

The EU review found that Israel breached human rights in Gaza, and hence is in violation of the Association Agreement.
Foreign Ministers meet Monday, and you'd expect sanctions to be on the table (suspension of elements of the association).

The story of LGBT rights is a story of advances followed by setbacks followed by media with no skin in the game saying, "It's because you were too loud/asked for too much/moved too fast/got too big for your britches/didn't make your case." That never changes--but happily it's never the last word.

I'm increasingly convinced "biological sex" is a code for "cis" in the sense of how it's operationalized as that which is real, natural, common-sensical, assumed, self-explanatory, good, and truthful—and how that which remains outside of it or deviates from it is framed as "ideological."

Reading a recent study from Quebec: from 2017/2018 to 2023/2024 there's about an 18% increase in high schoolers who report they'd feel uncomfortable if they learned their best friend is LGB. Boys are two times more likely to feel uncomfortable compared to girls. Scary!
