To everyone out there struggling right now. My wife just killed the big moth thing in silksong. It is doable. You can do it too if you believe in yourself.

*gets into a fulfilling romantic relationship with a hot enby*

My polyamourous ass:

"We've had one, but what about SECOND fulfilling romantic relationship with a hot enby??"

Genuinely this will kill people. If I had been told to just buck up and get back into work when I was in a severe depressive episode following an abusive relationship, I would legit just have killed myself. Labour will, and indeed already do, have blood on their hands.

Come outside was the best!

I was living it up at my friend's house (they've put up black out blinds in their front room and have a massive fancy fan). Drank rum and cokes and fancy wine, and sang along to some Fleetwood Mac. Best way to cope in this heat.

Anxiety and depression not serious mental health conditions worthy of disability benefits, @KemiBadenoch?

About 60-70% of people who die by suicide have a history of depression or related mood disorders.

Genuinely like it's traumatic going through that, so of course people are going to respond in a way that is in according with how traumatic that experience is

Completely! Like you can mitigate harm without putting the onus on the person who's been harmed to do all the work in improving their situation. That's just objectively unfair.

Totally true imo. You can change the structures and systems that are harming them if nothing else.

I did once. But it was in Irvine so I feel like that takes away from the sexiness of it all.

Anyone want to get back into among us with me?

Looking up a musician you love from the 60s is always so risky. What am I going to find on your Wikipedia page?

Alt text for the image: A quote from Amnesty International (2025) is superimposed in large white serif font over a photo of the Palace of Westminster, with a Union Jack flag flying above one of its towers. The quote reads: “If implemented, the extensive reforms proposed in the Pathway to Work Green Paper would further undermine the compliance of the UK social security system with the principle of adequacy, and would be a deliberately discriminatory, disproportionate and retrogressive violation of human rights.” — Amnesty International, 2025 The image uses the iconic UK Parliament building to evoke national identity and legal authority, reinforcing the gravity of the human rights concerns.

self-declaration with only binary options is still exclusionary but then a third option is just creating a Freak Category so you can be more easily identified as a target and eventually it's like. why is this information even needed. by anyone

A tabby cat with a grumpy expression sits on a laptop keyboard

Local cat confirmed as transphobe

(sitting on my laptop and pausing @cheapdirtyhorse.bsky.social when I'm trying to make sure I've memorised all their songs for their gig in Edinburgh tonight)

His stance on sex worker rights is pretty dog shit as well (it was an old convo on twitter I saw it on, basically said they don't support any change to the law wrt criminalisation) and idk, with the sheer volume of trans people who do sex work, kinda reads like you only want the respectable queers

Last night my partner and I were chilling in bed and they turned to me to show me a video on their phone, and said "so, fair warning, you are about to hear Keir Starmers voice" and honest to god might be in the top ten least sexy post coital conversations of my life.

Ash Regan, who begged Elon Musk (you know, who did an actual nazi salute) to do business in Scotland, has a lot of gall to be at this event.

Begging people talking about how fucked it is that trans people are being advised to use disabled loos to at least recognise that when talking about the lack of them being segregation, that that is also a problem for disabled people and pushes us out of a lot of queer venues!

Like, I'm not saying it will go that way, we could get lucky. But the rising tide of fascism is inescapable right now. And there's few things fascists love more than using dodgy but legal systems to cull people they view as unproductive and morally corrupted.

It's another worry I have about assisted dying. How long until it's given to someone without the capacity to make that decision because they're having a psychotic episode? How soon will it be before its being used to cull mad people for being too "difficult" or "complex"?

The thing about people with psychotic disorders is like. They don't want us being unwell and bothering them, they hate it. But they don't want to give us power to live independently, and are too cheap to even pay for the beds to institutionalise us. It's getting to the stage where they want us dead.

They'll never print this, but turn up with 5 mates and a 'what is a woman' sign and they'll give you the front page

A word game on a tray. It says: slurp dangerous chemical, absorb darkness, evolve mind control. Explosion.

Isn't this the plot of dragon age?

Saying trans people threaten the concept of sexual orientation is like saying mashed potatoes threaten the concept of dinner

An ironing board is a kind of easily spooked horse

Shut down the youth clubs.
Sell off the playing fields.
Put up "no ball games" signs.
Make public places hostile to teenagers.
Then:
"Young people, eh? Always indoors looking at their phones."

a question for the cis women that believe the ruling of the Supreme Court is a good thing for women What do you think is going to happen when male police officers accuses you of being trans just to legally to get your knickers off ?, do you see how this harms all women ? Sky News @SkyNews • 1d ago Trans women in British Transport Police custody will now be strip searched by male officers - not female - following Wednesday's Supreme Court ruling....

GC men are losing it over this “IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE WHY THIS HAS NEARLY 80k likes” they can’t comprehend the real dangers women face

GC Women are saying I’m playing mental gymnastics and fear mongering, ISN’T THAT WHAT YOUR WHOLE MOVEMENT IS? (with much less evidence to support the claims)
