Three women stand on the left with lots of men in the right. The text below says, “SO LADIES, THANKS FOR BEING THE FIRST TO WITNESS AND REPORT THE RESURRECTION AND WE'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE?”

It’s time for my favorite cartoon of the year.

Hilary Cass, who is setting trans policies in the UK. Even she knows she's not an expert in trans people -

Trans kids are already pushed out of education. Denied qualifications. Denied a future.

This will push so many more trans kids out of education entirely.

How can I send my own daughter to school with this law in place? She would not cope.

New School Guidance announces:

Full bathroom ban.
Full PE ban.
Full school trip accommodation ban.

Trans kids will not go to the bathroom, do PE or go on any school trips. 1/

2008: Epstein is convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution

2018: Despite that conviction, [files indicate] he was invited by Rowling’s team - along with a guest of his choosing - to the Broadway opening of Harry Potter and the private after-party

Protecting women and children, is it?

Appeasing authoritarians does not work.

The fact that any people on this planet are applying for visas & actually WANT to visit the USA right now is surprising..

A very deliberate sleight of hand by Badenoch here that I've seen from local conservatives too.
The point is not to prevent kids from seeing this stuff, the point is that children, real children, are being abused by the creation of these images and that's bad even if the children don't see it.

If you need any more evidence that the BBC has been compromised by foreign government, it's currently reporting on Venezuela being bombed by the US like it deserves it.

As a carer, and a novice autistic photographer, getting outdoors into the ‘quiet‘ (wildlife is rarely quiet 🤣) of nature has a lot of meaning for me

It’s an essential, not a luxury

These are some of my favourite photos as they celebrate the ‘recharge’ nature can give

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.

Belfast Telegraph text: “If you are an LGBT+ person, my advice is to protect yourself as best you can, keep (your) body-worn (camera) recording at all times. “Don’t trust anyone inside the organisation and keep your head down. Don’t disclose your gender identity or sexual orientation, especially if you are a trans person. “Your safety is more important than anything. The leadership and processes of this organisation will not protect you, you have to look out for yourself.”

From the PSNI’s abject failure protect communities or pursue arrests during the August 2024 far-right violence to to the leaked non-intervention orders issued to PSNI officers during the paramilitary backed far-right Ballymena violence and pogroms - alarm bells should be sounding. [1/4]

Gosford forest park, County Armagh

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

Virginia Giuffre. A very amazing blonde woman standing in front of the sea

Also, her name was and always is Virginia Giuffre. And she has caused more positive revolution and change than anyone in recent years.

Let her always be remembered and celebrated. You should still be here.
