Hope you are all having an excellent xmas.
Psyching myself to get out of bed for Day 2 of xmas with the inlaws. Wish me luck.
Don't get me wrong, I love them all, but some of them Do Not love each other & there will likely be unpleasantness.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Hanson is calling for tougher hate speech laws, while she is currently in court trying to appeal against her loss in a hate speech legal case. A fact not mentioned by a single outlet covering this story.
Hanson at the Bondi memorial calling for students to be "rounded up" and cuts to immigration. The crowd muttering in agreement, and giving her a huge round of applause once she finishes.

Trans kids won't disappear. Just like restricting abortions doesn't stop unwanted pregnancies. All it does is drive people to less safe care and ruin lives.
Never, ever fall for the line that transphobia is about protecting women. It is only about hate, it only ever has been about hate.

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Great thread. And a key point: the transphobia of today is very similar to the homophobia I saw growing up.
Something I'd like to address. There's this idea that TQ+ folk are all 21 year-old art students... and all the 'normal' old school folk are LGB and entirely left behind and confused by 'pronouns'...
Every talk I give, know who the most outspoken trans allies are? Queer folk in their 70s!!

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens
