It's that time of year, been on a bit of a horror binge, aiming to hit 31 new horror watches before November.

A screenshot of a last 4 watched on the app Letterboxd. The list is as follows:

Invaders from Mars (1953): 2 stars out of 5

Werewolf of London (1935): 3 stars out of 5

Heretic (2024): 4 stars out of 5

Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979): 4.5 stars out of 5

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.

If you are not wielding a firework launcher in defense of queer rights, can you really call yourself an ally?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Medical institutions treat trans people as a population to surveil, manage, and dissect, rather than as people to assist or treat with basic dignity.

Typewriter Skeleton @tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social · 6d

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.

Tidligere i år meldte vi et forskningsprosjekt til redelighetsutvalget ved OUS og UiO.

Nå er forskerne felt for alvorlige brudd på forskningsetiske normer.

No indication from FF that any of them think what Gavin actually did is worse than just not telling them about it, or even bad at all

The Journal @thejournal.ie · 7d

The tenant at the centre of the Jim Gavin rent payments issue contacted Fianna Fáil on Saturday but has not received any call back from the party or the former candidate since, The Journal has learned.

Tenant yet to hear from Jim Gavin or Fianna Fáil about money owed

The tenant is none the wiser about whether work is underway for his €3,300 to be returned.

A screenshot of the description for my newest video, reviewing Doctor Who Season 1, or Series 14 if ya nasty. Amusingly, the automatic filter for detecting people who are being discussed in the video has picked up on the fictional character of Henry Arbinger and seems to present him as being mentioned as if he is real

Elon, fresh off attempting to incite race riots in England is now trying to incite pogroms against trans people.

A screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) with the caption “This is a massive problem.” It is a quote tweet of Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog), who wrote: “Anyone who’s been in the trenches fighting these trans militants knows that they are inherently violent. On a level far beyond any other political or ideological faction. Deranged, deeply hateful, angry at themselves and the world. Suicidal. The threat they pose is very serious. …”

A screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) with the caption “Seems likely.” It is a quote tweet of Aesthetica (@Anc_Aesthetics), who wrote: “I am now 100% confident that Charlie’s assassination was carried out by a radical left wing transgender terror cell. Let’s get into the evidence…” Beneath that, a tweet from Brooke Singman (@BrookeSingman) is shown, saying: “EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner, sources tell me. The individual, who is a male transitioning to a female, is fully cooperating with the FBI. Sources tell me the FBI had texts and other communications between Robinson and the individual that helped FBI authorities solidify that Robinson was indeed the shooter.”

A screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) with the caption “Terrorist cell.” It is a quote tweet of End Wokeness (@EndWokeness), who wrote: “Multiple trans people in the area posted on September 9th that ‘something big will be happening to Charlie Kirk tomorrow.’” The tweet includes a short video clip featuring a man in a dark shirt turning to look back while standing among other people in what looks like an office or police station setting.

A screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) with the caption “Disturbing.” It is a quote tweet of Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo), who wrote: “Unmasking ‘Luna’: How I found the evidence confirming that the Charlie Kirk assassin suspect’s alleged lover is trans, anti-Christian and on hormones. Suspect Tyler Robinson allegedly killed Charlie while he was answering a question about trans shooters.”

Between this, the nonsense "trans bullets" article, and the erased Guardian article about the shooter being a leftist, it's become clear that the capitalist media wants nothing more than mass violence against the left and the trans community, and will lie as many times as they need to to get there.

BanjaxTheRagman @banjaxtheragman.bsky.social · Sep 14

Absolutely indicative of Bluesky's problem that people telling Kirk to "rest in piss" are suspended but actual lies intended to fuel hatred and violence towards a marginalised group are 100% okay.

I get why so many celebrities, comedians especially, are standing with Graham Linehan. You never know when you're going to get so washed that you have to pivot to violent, obsessive misogyny.
