TY The synops helps. Usually I do my best to keep up w/global politics but they do change, & for the past decade the whiplash speed of our Republican's authoritarian power grab & their Criminal in Chief's tantrums have made it impossible to keep straight.
For USA folks not as familiar w/some of your political terms, can you give us a lil blurb on what 'labour' & 'farage' parties stand for?
I mean, "F"federal "E"mergency "M"anagement "A"agency; can you say, 'Federal' and 'management'? Just bless her lil heart, y'all. Someday she'll crack a dictionary. Or a book, in general.
I wonder why it is called the Federal Emergency Management Agency?
I think they absolutely know it.
Just like they know children can't vote.
Just like people gerrymandered and disenfranchised out of existence can't.
If you can show up for this, please do so
Borders aren't real. Humans are.
I can hardly wait!
Nothing in the Saw franchise compares to the cruelty of Love Actually
this kicks ass lmfao
LFG!!! We're finally playing like we really want it. #BAONPDX 🌹
That was one of the best performances I've seen from our girls in a while. What a stellar game for Turner. 💅🏻Just a shame the refs forgot what a foul is. #BAONPDX 🌹🌹🌹

#PORvORL 16' - Thorns draw first blood as Reyna Reyes scored her first goal in the NWSL this season, netting for the first time since 27th May 2023 against San Diego Wave.
Portland has avoided defeat in their last 4 matches when scoring first in the NWSL, since September 2024.
#PORvORL - Isabella Obaze with the late first half clearance
and not too much later, Sam Coffey follows suit
Thorns take home the win off of the first half Reyna Reyes goal
Just 💜 that, for the past 1+ yR, I've been unable to get an uninterrupted night's sleep since I wake up almost nightly freezing, soaked in sweat 3-4x per night; PCP tests & tests, so I ask directly for a sleep study. And, naturally, the very 1st consult (not the study) I can get is MAY 2025!?!?!
Only it's too easy for many to ignore supremacist end goals. Sadly, I've family experience: them swearing "they'll never 'go that far'" for years. Now, it's happening? They've convinced themselves genital inspections & chromosomal testing are 'reasonable' ... as long as it isn't happening to them.
And TERFs aren't even satisfied with genital inspections! They want everyone genetically tested and categorized by their DNA, any precedent for which *will* inevitably be used for testing racial purity.
Funny enough I was talking about how religious groups like JW do this. That their proselytizing has little hope of conversion and is intended to garner negativity so that they seek solace among their peers.
It's a common tactic among cults.
TERFS are their own worst enemy because the more people that find out they want genital inspections for everything, the less anyone will want to even talk to them, much less enforce their policies.
I always thought a Muppet remake of Alien would be amazing. The Xenomorph would obviously be Muppetized of course and its end with Piggy “Haaai-YA!”-ing the Alien out the airlock.

And this is why you don't give transphobes an inch - because they will take a mile.
The cover of Night Beast by Ruth Joffre. It has a red background and a shadowy black and white figure of a woman with abstract tentacle things coming out of her head in an art deco style (it actually is an art deco print from like the 1920s). The vibe is spooky sexy
