its wild to me that terfs have co-opted the phrase gender critical, when they are literally the opposite? lacking any critical thinking generally, but also about gender - instead reinforcing outdated and archaic definitions based on a scientifically illiterate understanding of biology

seeing the explicit trans & lgbt support from @zarahsultana.bsky.social, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @london.gov.uk, I would like to humbly posit the simple notion that muslim people are not a transphobic and homophobic stereotype, and in fact some of us are trans and queer ourselves

is it just me or has the enshittification of language through social media and its subsequent over proliferation of meme slang left a really cringe mark on this era of language

Please someone do a semiotics analysis video about the AI generated meltdown content created as a result of the Mamdani election win. I would watch the shit out of that.

What the fuck is she on about???????
Jfc. Her islamophobia is off the charts. One of her Insta stories is a Londoner talking about Sadiq Khan imposing no-go zones and sharia courts in London.

Love seeing a politician talk with compassion, nuance and kindness WITHOUT dodging the hard questions! Go @zackpolanski.bsky.social for actually answering the questions asked, unlike most politicians out there.

Reading BBC coverage about Andrew. I cringe with rage every time they say "Virginia Guiffre had sex with him on three separate occasions". It really needs to say "Virginia Guiffre, A CHILD AT THE TIME, was TRAFFICKED & FORCED to have sex with him". The language we use matters. What we omit matters.

Watching celebrities, people with power, wealth, status, everything that you can possibly imagine - collapse down the devouring rabbit holes of conspiracy theories is so fucking bleak and unfathomable to me, like, how did you get there? I just don't understand.

Billie Eilish telling billionaires to give their money away misses the point, which is:
- money made through exploitation should be returned to workers
- charity is a failure of the state, and philanthropy can be weaponised
- charity-washing is a scam
- they are still not paying their fucking taxes

One app, 60 men, 26 dates: my adventures in alt-right dating
There’s no question that we’re living — and looking for love — in contentious times, where extreme political ideologies have all but divided parts of the dating pool. Or have they?

kinda wild that BA pulls Louis Theroux sponsorship over Bob Vylan calling for a very sensible death of a military institution engaged in ongoing occupation and genocide, when that man has literally interviewed some of the most terrifying terrorists terrorising from the fringes of society: swingers.

One of the things thats really missing from the @greenparty.org.uk communications at the moment is the fact that climate change is going to impact working class people the MOST. That class and climate are completely interlinked. I think we need to educate people on this.

legacy media seems to be deeply prejudicial to anything that isn't someone who is actually sensible and isn't just fanning the flames of hatred constantly
The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.
This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Since the age of 18 to 36, I have paid a minimum of £1000+ a month into paying off someone else's mortgage. That's at the very least £216,000 over this period that I've given to a landlord for doing fuck all while I live in mouldy shitholes broken beyond repair. Landlords should be illegal.
Green Party Conference 2025 just passed a motion that would Abolish Landlords!
Through a programme of unprecedented council house building, taxation and housing those who need it, a Green government would eliminate profit from a human right.
