If you've never been to Gaza, you won't appreciate what the yellow line means. Basically Israel now holds most of Gaza's small but important agricultural land. Continued Israeli occupation, which I judge the likely outcome, makes Gaza even more unliveable and more dependent on outside goods.

The ‘Transit’ gender clinic in Spain has a 3 WEEK waiting list! 😳😳😳

It covers a population of 8 million, (equivalent to the population of Scotland & Wales combined, or 1/7th of the population of England) It has a total of 43 staff, a majority of whom are part-time, working 6-7 hours per week!
Trans health waiting lists are a political choice
I’m just back from an awesome trans healthcare conference in Norway (blog on that to follow). Here I wanted to share information from a presentation by the founder of the transit trans health…

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

I openly had my misgivings about how a cis white man may handle this topic, but it's so unbelievably refreshing to see a politician, and a party leader at that, answer the question "can a woman have a penis?" with a simple "yes". No obfuscation, no trying to answer a different question, just "yes".

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

Wow. Couldn't agree more and we should once again ban gambling advertising and sport sponsorship.

10 years ago, the classic milquetoast ableism of "I don't think I could carry on if I had chronic pain, I'd end me" annoyed me cos it felt like saying that my life (which I love) wasn't worth living.

TIL that now I'm older & saltier my immediate reaction is

'Your lack of imagination is pathetic'…

Today is “Coming Out Day.” At a time of intensifying homo/transphobia, being visible as a queer or trans person is personally risky and political resistance. But no one is entitled to your identity or visibility. You do not have to justify your existence to others. Just keep living unapologetically.

And yet in the UK soooo many people are not eligible for a Covid jab. If they want one they need to stump up £90-£99 (as I will next week)
