Various outlets backtracking because the footage got out. We should never forget that the BBC and others tried to bury this attack on civilians from across the world.
The lead boat in the Sumud Flotilla appears to have been struck from above while in Tunis. Not alone that but the claim that "the fire originated on the ship" is propagating across the media.
This is an international civilian aid flotilla. The levels of mistruth and abuse are staggering.

Section 28 didn’t come out of nowhere.
It came from a society where 75% thought homosexuality was wrong.
From a society that feared the sight of a man in drag would corrupt.
From a society that believed ignorance was better for children than any knowledge of gay lives.

I've just written a very long and exhausting message to my MP. Please if you're trans or you're an ally to trans people please write to or email your MP
This isn't a request on the basis that I think these people care about protecting us, it's a request on the basis that I think they care about placating voters. Get loud.

Exactly this: the law does not require that trans people be violated by this kind of discrimination. This is just the inevitable product of removing safeguards against discrimination.
Because rapey fucking pigs abuse their powers wherever they can.

don't underestimate your subconscious need for a wide range of experiences
if you spend weeks doing the same thing in the same environment in the same way, you're at risk of forgetting the broader world of life, art, and people. it can get really isolating, and exacerbates burnout
