If I was head of the WI and an 80 year old trans woman told me it was the only place she'd ever felt respected as a woman, and the British State told me she wasn't allowed to bebin the WI any more, I'd be putting out a public statement declaring the WI to now be an armed guerilla organisation.
This part is *infuriating*. This cis woman heard an 80 year old trans woman say, 'This is the only place I've been respected as a woman IN MY LIFE.'

And did not immediately think, 'I will fight every inch like a dying badger to keep her in my organization.'

Absolutely pathetic.

"It's too costly to stand up for you, but we pinky promise we have solidarity with you" is bullshit.

"We have no choice but to discriminate against you" is bullshit.

They could use their platform to spotlight Gender-Conservative hatred, or demonstrate actual commitment to their stated principles.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

In Lebanon. Can hear the Israeli drone constantly now. I’ve only been back for a day but folks here deal with it 24/7, for months. It’s psychological torture. You can even see it, just flying around. The Israelis want to let everyone know that they can kill whoever they want whenever they want.

every time administrators hand these forces a win, it emboldens them to do it again. somehow this keeps happening 🤔

a trans grad instructor is one of the more vulnerable members of a campus for this kind of bad-faith attack; everyone with more security needs to work to interrupt this playbook
OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

This is sometimes read as "look 'AI' isn't working". But the opposite is true.

_This_ is what "AI" is _for_. Push down labor power, push down wages, make employment more insecure.

Utskick från Arbetsdomstolen idag och allt framstår än mer absurt än igår. Jag kan inte komma på någon historisk eller geografisk parallel. Var och när har man egentligen stängt ned domstolar för att det saknas pengar?

AI is about industrializing knowledge and service work.

So far, much of that work has been resistant to offshoring, because from teaching to cashiers, it often needs to be performed at point of service, and in real time. We're seeing capital trying to crush that barrier.
From finance to these robots, capital hates particularities and loves abstraction. This is what we're talking about, it's about the ability to displace jobs independently of where the labor is performed. It's device to break the power of workers

Filipino tele-operators remotely control Japan’s convenience store robots and train AI, benefiting from an uptick in automation-related jobs.

When politicians come out to express their sympathy with Charlie Kirk, and they never expressed their sympathy with Palestinians, or Haitian refugees, it's because they see themselves in Charlie Kirk and don't see themselves in Palestinians or Haitian refugees

New form to sign the petition for a Special Meeting of the EAA (to discuss the genocide in Gaza and the handling of the situation by the Executive Board). Previous one was reported and taken down by Google for "violating its terms". Wonder who reported it?🤔 #eaa2025

I saw one prepper years ago who pointed out: the overwhelmingly most likely reason you have to leave your house in the middle of the night is because someone you love is dying in a hospital.

If your prepper stuff doesn't make sense for travelling to see a loved one die in a hospital, it's fantasy
But unemployment & medical debt survival prep doesn’t have cool toys

say it with your whole chest:

trans rights are human rights.

trans and intersex folk and gender diversity have always existed.

to be human is to build communities and we can only benefit when we welcome folks with diverse experiences and way of being into those communities.

Different ways of thinking about restitution of stolen heritage? Move from 'repatriation' to sovereign states towards a recognition of craft communities and elite exploitation.
Nor must you forget that when men say popes, kings, and emperors built such and such buildings, it is a mere way of speaking. You look in your history-books…Did they? or, rather, men like you and me, handicraftsmen, who have left no names behind them, nothing
but their work?
