And you're still pushing the absolutely ridiculous idea that trans people purely existing and having rights enables cis men to pretend to be trans to harm us cis women further down the thread...

Xather 💀🎃🖤 @xather.bsky.social · 1m

Craig, you're coming off as mansplaining what it is and how we cis women suffer at the hands of cis men

Cis men aren't enabled by trans women, they are enabled by a patriarchal society that has told them since the beginning of time that they own us.

But cis men don't need to do that Craig, never have and never will, so "specific context" means nothing when you're repeating scaremongering tactics used to try and scare us cis women.

Another that doesn't get that cis men can enter women's loos presenting as a man and harm us, even kill us, because nothing will stop a cis man who wants to do harm to a woman.

Oh no, did someone dare disagree with your Dear Leader? You're as fucking bad as MAGA with this idolisation of Newsom.

A screenshot of a post by @1diane.bsky.social that contains a collage of AI generated photos of Gavin Newsom, making him out to be some jacked up hero that will save us all from Trump.

Beware - she's nothing more than a cultist fanatic, but for Newsom rather than Trump.

If you sometimes forget, do as I did - turn on the setting that forces you to include alt text before posting, and warns you that media doesn't include any:

You can find it under Settings then Accessibility:

A screenshot of the Settings options on BlueSky, that shows the Accessibility section.

In this section you can turn on the option "Require alt text before posting" which then stops you being able to post if you include any media in a post.

You would have thought people learned after Marion Millar but noooo.

Also he's got a, unsurprisingly, dodgy history with crowdfunding which even resulted in him blocking GC women who noticed and questioned him.

graham linehan’s latest escalation is hiring ppl to dox and harass trans women. 🤷‍♀️

jus imagine for a second that a cis man was doing this to cis women.

society says not only is it okay to do it to trans women but it’s fine to publicly crowdfund to pay for it. 😕

Let's hire a private detective!
Here's where we are: for wears, Ive been reporting a group of men to the police. They ve harassed dozens of people.
the harassment and death threats they send my way, nothing happens. When others report them, nothing happens.
But here's what does happen: the police investigate us for talking about them.
Ine grotesque nature or this colacerason would be laservano trom a oritance. Unortunatty, fi not as a ostance, and it's been going on for years.
So I've decided to do something that feets wonderfully ridiculous and also completely necessary, hire a proper private detective. Someone who actually investigates things. Novel concept, I know.
I'm deughted to say that our prece on Melody Uawion has resuited in members of his tamity ottung m touch. And that s what we can do without a private detective. Think what will happen if we get professionals on the case.
Picture it: a licensed imestigater with a proper case file, following leads from Sussex to Capetown, gathering evidence the authorities keco oretendina doesn't exist. Well comale everything, oresent & to indroundent abservers and every maic)
outlet we can find.
What Your Money Gets
• A licensed investigator who actually does the job
• Document searches, survellance, evidence gathering
• Property documented findings that can be used legally or journalistically
Iknow vou're sick of the Cancel Tax. I'm sick ct it too. But ths onels dicent. This one micht oroduce results that and
decoly satistving no matter where you are in the foht. The l& detective work. And when tis done, we'll have something
Why It Costs What It Costs
The goal looks high because this isn't some bloke following someone to Tesco. This is a proper irvestigation spanning multiple juriscictions. Were not just atter a few bad actors. We want to out all of them.
Every donation puts us closer to exposing something the authorities have worked very

Same here - why would I be angry that someone was thinking purely about their human rights and existence? At the end of the day, the only person who has truly got your back is yourself.

A three day old no face troll, going around agitating people

@go-truth

Ignore trans like Sobek there who hate everyone.

They're just shit posting

when they aren't out holding hateful signs like below. They want everyone dead but themselves.

Rock on.

@go-truth

Well, I fended off 7-8 supposedly communist trans agitprop shitposter trolls.

Time for sleep.

Night all!

Beware those ones.

You say something anti-communist and they start trolling you as an anti-trans bigot.

Ok. I wasn't anti-trans when I got up this morning, but I'm leaning that way now.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

So Salvation Army isn't just the homophobic thrift store, they're also going out of their way to be a key logistics partner for fascists.

Feels like we could put some pressure on individuals who work/volunteer for them and who don't want to be a part of that.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

C - Yes, but it was dependant on the Inquisitor I was roleplaying compared to the Hawke (anti mage Hawke vs pro mage Inquisitor) and the one time I had to do the dreaded Alistair vs Hawke decision (my bumbling red head nerd always lives).

The fact Israel helped with their 5-0 defeat to Norway (whose fans staged a pro Palestine protest) with TWO own goals is the cherry on top.

A screenshot of BBC Sport showing that Norway beat Israel 5-0 in the UEFA World Cup Qualifiers, with two of those goals being own goals by Israel.

I say this with no understanding of chronic conditions, but frankly I doubt anyone has a body that can fight off living around high levels of mould for long periods of time.

Did you see his daughter believes his illness is in part due to a "spiritual attack"

Mikhaila Peterson @MikhailaFuller
Hey, as you know @jordanbpeterson has been really sick. A lot of people have been asking for updates so here's one. He's recovering slowly day by day but I won't lie, it's slow and scary. He won't be back for another few months at least, probably longer. We're not entirely sure what's going on but it looks like possibly severe CIRS and a LOT of bad luck. Or we're getting spiritually attacked. Or both.
To be perfectly honest, I think a lot of this is spiritual. My newborn Audrey almost died of heart failure for no reason in June, dad got sick and came to stay with us in July, then needed a hospital and the same day he went to the hospital by ambulance, my newborn turned blue (again) at home for a different reason not heart related and went a different hospital by ambulance.
Within 3 hours of each other.
It's been one thing after another in an otherworldly type of way.
