Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.
It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

I just think, you know, if you're not risking everything to stand up for what's right now, in this moment, when will you ever do it? It's hard and you might lose it all, but that's kind of the point. That's what these times require of us.

I do mostly think Tolkien was genuinely not thinking about any kind of left-right politics that would be legible to us but it's still so crazy that guys who make their money from data centers are reading about evil wizards tearing down forests and going "I know which of these guys I am!"

this Girlguiding thing is so miserable. and so emblematic of the bigot playbook. a poisonous minority of mindless, soul rotted cultists intimidating decent people - who far outnumber them - because they have the backing of Big Transphobe. and for what? to make life miserable for a defenceless few

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.

This week, Netflix will drop a western with Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson as warring matriarchs of opposing clans. Not a one of the dozens of media writers I follow online has ever mentioned this show, and yet its three-week-old trailer has over 1M views. Make it make sense.

A gigantic pile of rubbish was dumped in a field in Oxfordshire. The response sums up everything wrong with British bureaucracy.

Furious at this. TERFs and Gender Critical people are a loud, radicalized, wealthy minority, forcing groups who've done the right thing for years into horrible positions that none of them want. Stop buying Harry Potter. Fight for your trans brothers and sisters. They'll come for you next.
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-...

Have you noticed that around the winter solstice the latest sunrise and earliest sunset do not coincide? This is because the earth day is very rarely 24 hours. This means solar noon is changing faster than day length is changing. This #dataviz shows this for London sunrise and sunset times.
