I put my hands up and admit to my own failings in not realising the potential for a joke based on ‘the circus animals desertion’ when the nft crash happened and hope to have something in place for the ai crash.

It really is good to do this.
Part of what I believe helps me have an analytical edge is being able to consider things within two different linguistic frameworks (english and scots.)
I want to learn more languages when i have the time and have an eye on german and latin. What? German is beautiful

'people who are multilingual are half as likely to show signs of accelerated biological ageing than are those who speak just one language.'
Good thing that schools, universities and governments are so actively promoting modern languages then, isn't it? 1/2

Remember in the UK it's not:
Transphobia, it's gender critical
Islamaphobia, it's Muslim critical
Racism, it's race critical
Homophobia, it's same sex critical
All dogwhistles used to undermine and gaslight minorities.

Me: no but trans cinema as ultimately bittersweet body horror. Think ginger snaps meets possession with the detachment and artful bloodletting of Trzecia część nocy because it wouldn’t be trans without some disassociating, right? It needs to be really gross, though.

"As someone working in law, it’s heresy to say this, and it might even kill my chances of a career... But as a trans person, and someone fighting for the rights of my community, I refuse to remain silent. To me it just seems obvious: a heavily prejudiced society produces prejudiced institutions."
It’s no surprise that only 31% of trans people trust a legal system built to enforce prejudice, says Jess O’Thomson.

As a cis woman I’m actually super stoked to uncouple the concept of fecundity from the concept of cis woman & given that feminism has been trying to do this exact thing for decades (centuries?) it’s baffling to see ‘feminists’ being like ‘no ACKTUALLY women ARE defined by their ability to reproduce’
