Everyone needs to listen to Gustav Holst's "The Planets", not for hoity-toity nerd reasons, but because every epic sci-fi movie OST for the past century has been directly lifting shit from this one specific collection of pieces, and you deserve to hear your favourite motif in its native environment.

Eight people are on hunger strike, several apparently at imminent risk of dying, because our law punishes more harshly those opposing genocide than those supporting it. (And under a so-called Labour Government.)

The hunger strikers are in mortal danger. But the conditions they’re being kept in are already critical.
How the government and its prisons ignore strikers' basic rights and demands.

When this #BBC article was first published, it accurately described Dr Beth Upton - the woman found to be harassed by Peggie - as a trans woman
The piece was then scrubbed - replacing an accurate description with a transphobic slur instead of the language trans women use to describe themselves

Days ago, all the Scottish papers hailed a massive victory for Peggie when it was partial. Today they're pretending she lost and must appeal. When the Supreme Court decision was questioned, it was a threat to the judiciary. Now it's apparently a moral obligation. Same voices, same loud megaphones.

I feel this should absolutely terrify everyone, but politicians like Starmer and the UK media have normalised so much far right rhetoric, most of the population won’t bat an eyelid.
To go in front of Europe at this time, when the far right is looming, and say to weaken human rights…
That’s a Nazi.

Multiple men in the replies telling me to lighten up because it IS funny, mixed in with some homophobia, some transphobia that got deleted, and a bunch of "But it's so GAY to HATE WOMEN they're GAY FOR MEN" that kind of demonstrates my point perfectly.

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.
