THIS is the truth of what happened but the judge would not allow the whole video to be shown or even for the defendants to explain the motivation for actions, THIS is not a functioning democracy or judiciary this is corruption on behalf of special interests!

1/ Your daughter is 16. She reads about a protest happening downtown. Police brutality. Government overreach. She does not know what to believe. The news says one thing. Social media says another. She wants to investigate. She wants to find the truth herself. So she opens her phone. Tries to access independent journalist accounts. Citizen reporters who were actually there. Raw footage. Unfiltered perspective. Access denied. Reason: Age verification required. Content flagged as potentially harmful to minors. Online child safety laws prohibit access without parental consent and identity verification. Your daughter cannot search for truth. The system decides what she is allowed to know.

bringing back the hacks clip

my pitch for a doctor who revival is that it’s an anthology series with no overarching narrative or grand stakes and, instead, the doctor whimsically dies at the end of every episode, only to regenerate as a new beloved british actor

Fuck it, I'll make my own Doctor Who series seeing as the Christmas special is cancelled now 😂

This is what the riots in Belfast have done A Muslim woman begging a neighbour because she was terrified rioters were going to hurt her kids We have become a nation of hate A country full of monsters who prey on children We're fucking disgusting

A highly respected and trailblazing surgeon in the British Army - Dr James Barry. Born in 1789, James went on to qualify as a doctor in 1812, and then on to a distinguished career in military medicine for over 40 years. It was only discovered he was trans after his death.

It's that time of year again. Disabled LGBTQ people exist & we often get double the bigotry.

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard: "Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

I own a tattoo shop. Small place. Walk-ins welcome. Most people come in with Pinterest screenshots. Infinity symbols. Quotes. Names. I don't judge. It's their skin. Last March a woman walked in. Maybe thirty. Asked about cover-ups. I said yes. She pulled up her sleeve slowly. Like it cost her something. Her forearm said "WORTHLESS" in thick black letters. Self-done. She was shaking before I even looked up. "How much to cover it?" I looked at the word. Then at her. "What do you want instead?" She broke right there. Standing in my shop. "I don't know. Anything. I did this five years ago. Darkest point of my life. Every single morning I see it. Every day it pulls me back there. I just need it gone." I told her to sit. Made tea. Closed the shop. Thirty minutes. Just us. Just talking.

I've not really had any reason to comment on the death of Henry Nowak, until I had a conversation with a local retired policeman that changed my view of the incident. He gave me permission to share this. He's a reform voter. He voted for brexit. I've found him to be casually racist at times. So hold that in mind while you read this: He said he had put handcuffs on a thousand people and most would say absolutely anything to get you to take them off. He said he must have heard hundreds of people in handcuffs say that they were injured and even dying. Only one was actually injured, and yes, they were dying. Exactly like Henry Nowak, they were wearing a dark top at night and bleeding abdominally both internally and externally. Exactly like with Henry Nowak, he and a fellow officer called for emergency support and started first aid as soon as they knew there was a problem. Exactly like with Henry Nowak the first aid wasn't enough and the young man died. Unlike Henry Nowak, that young man was both a perpetrator of knife violence and a victim of it. His assailant also needed emergency care. The policeman telling me all this stepped down from active duty two weeks later due to 'stress' and retired months later. I knew about the death and the stress years ago, but didn't know about the details until yesterday. He said he still has nightmares about pulling up the young man's shirt to see the sucking bubbling knife wound. When he started talking to me yesterday, I thought he was going to complain about two tier policing and wokeness and reverse discrimination, but instead we just cried a lot. I'm crying again as I write this too. Sometimes a tragedy is just a tragedy, and that's all it is.

Being transgender is biological. So is being intersex. So is being non-binary. Science explains all of it and has done for decades. The brain and the genitals develop in separate windows in the womb on different hormonal timelines. When those timelines differ the result is a transgender person. This is documented embryology. It is peer reviewed. It is published in journals that have been around longer than most of the people arguing against it. Some people are too stupid or too frightened to want to learn that. Those are two different problems with the same result. Being transgender is more scientifically documented than any religion ever invented. More peer reviewed. More replicated. More verified across independent research teams in multiple countries over multiple decades. You do not have to believe in transgender people the way you believe in a God. You just have to read…
