Next therapy session's gonna be a doozy (no particular reason why because brains don't need that)

I remember when Gordon Brown got raked over the coals for privately shrugging off an anti-immigrant racist as "that bigoted woman" with every paper *including The Guardian* being all "oh no how very DARE he???" but I guess it's OK for Mahmood to tell pro-immigrant anti-racists to "fuck right off"

Make room for the rest of us.

Blocking any positive mention of the ghoulish Jackson thing.

(Genocide is happening in the Middle East. To clarify)

It's Tuesday and this week I've seen three genocidal posts from the bad site and none involve the Middle East.

This is why you never concede a single inch against bigots of any stripe, whether it's transphobia or anti-inmigration (massive Venn intersection there) because *nothing will ever be enough for them*.
"Meet me halfway"
(You take a step toward them, they take 3 steps back)
"Meet me halfway"
Etc.

Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult.

She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.

🤝 keep at it Mark

She is not, and you've cost us a doctor. Thank you not.

I know people that know Robin. We will send him our love, because he loves others but not only because.

Robin Ince: Let the Quiet Ones Rise Launch • Comedy • Kings Place To celebrate the paperback launch of Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal and his new poetry colletion, Robin Ince returns to Kings Place with a show about standing up and standing out.

I noticed because I am offering to buy a couple of tickets to his May 16th thing in London, near King’s Cross, to the first two people asking who are neurodiverse, non-binary, or trans.
If you can afford it yourself please do.

I think the lovely and kind and talented and legendary Robin Ince has deactivated his Bluesky account. Respect his choice, but I hope he knows we love him to bits.

Great night at Sofa So Funny with @thatbaldyfella.bsky.social @soozuk.bsky.social and more. Honorary mention to the in absentia but brilliant @lesliegold.bsky.social

By which I mean the Lovecraft Dunwich.

I have a very bad habit of confusing Dulwich and Dunwich.

BBC BBC FFAGAN SAIN BBC NEWS Reform UK will tell Welsh museums how to present history, manifesto says

Absolutely.

The fuck.

Not.

And any of my countryfolk knowingly deciding to vote for surrendering yet more of our culture to English millionaires who would be happier if we all died are clearly a bigger threat to our nation than any immigrant.

Excl: Half of Londoners are considering voting for Zack Polanski's Green Party in the upcoming local elections according to new polling by @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social, shared with the @newstatesman1913.bsky.social

You mean Dugdale? They haven't appointed Stock.

Very poor choice still, of course.

It's sooo greebly!

I've emailed finance@ to end my donations. No bounce, but no reply. They're probably a bit busy with those cancellations though.

Yet more fuel for those who are all "yeah Edd, whatever you say..." when I say I'm neurotypical.

It’s probably trying to go after someone left handed.

Lmao, he’s literally like: you know what fuck it

I think since the good doctor has gone to Australia it’s very much international level.

The BBC forced out Gary Lineker, a far more successful and appealing sports presenter, over far less than this

Paper day! We have discovered the brightest strong gravitational lens on the sky: 15th mag! "Persephone's Torch" is a quad quasar which was hiding in plain sight. But no longer, thanks to SPHEREx full-sky spectro-photometry +LBT. Congrats @freddavies.bsky.social #astronomy

Space Warps is back! Do you want to join forces with #Euclid Consortium scientists and discover gravitational lenses that no human has ever seen before?

Why did BBC Breakfast give Reform UK a special graphic? A small detail in a brief report sparks some big questions about what the national broadcaster is doing during the run up to local and national elections.

It was a trickle in comparison but at least my funding is gone.
