If JKR is willing to destroy every women's and girls' organisation and institution in this country in her crusade against trans rights, make her fucking do it. Call her bluff. Full juridicial kamikaze. Show everyone how much these ghouls really care about women's and girls' spaces.
All these statements being made with "utmost regret and sadness" fundamentally don't change the fact that these organisations are all folding to appease one vexatious bigot because she has infinite money, instead of doing the right thing and sticking by their guns and ignoring the Supreme Court.
Women’s Institute will no longer accept trans women as members from April

Not so gentle reminder that Noah Schnapp (Will in Stranger Things) proudly showed on twitter some time ago a sticker with "zionism is sexy" written on it. Since the final season is coming up and the producers didn't fire him, let's not give it our time.

Still begging people to stop comparing real world horrors to whatever fiction novel you like best. We live in reality with real problems that have consequences for actual human lives. I need libs to join the rest of us in reality land.

An excellent write up on White journalists/people needing to know when to back TF up.
This is a complicated intra-communal issue and not for white weigh in

In light of the Thomas King fiasco, I wrote this when Sacheen Littlefeather passed away.
Non Natives, THIS is why you do not engage in the Pretendian conversation.
You make it WORSE.

Dear White / Non-Native Journalists: Sacheen Littlefeather Is Not Yours
Not even a month after the death of Sacheen Littlefeather, biased claims about her Native heritage being a lie emerged with full force among white and Non-Native journalists. Even in death a Native…

We were so happy to see everyone's enthusiasm for our project to reprint pieces from Bitch Media! We are all excited because we also loved Bitch just as much as you. It was a formative publication for many of us. So here's a thread of some of our fave Bitch articles.

How did I manage to watch two different thrillers this year that feature a woman killing men with an ice pick?

SHAME these motherfuckers. Call them Nazis. Call them Gestapo. Tell them that they're the bad guys. They're not heroes. They're ruining lives. That's exactly who they are and what they're doing and we HATE them for it.
A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…
It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Sorry to bring HP onto the timeline again, but I just went through a belated surge of rage about Riz Ahmed joining the Audible cast upon remembering:
Dude. You were in NIMONA.

Heyyy. Funny thing just happened! I was in a Borders in Kentucky and I saw your book! It was under a sign that said New & Recommended. Richard, who was with me, got uncharacteristically quiet. He said “all things considered I guess you don’t have to buy it” so of course I went and bought it lol
