One time as an undergrad I took a global sports and politics summer course during the World Cup and really the only thing our professor wanted us to come away with was the understanding that FIFA is evil

Could a journalist please ask Joani Reid MP what or who the 'virus' is?
Without clarification, it sounds an awful lot like she thinks the existence and recognition of trans people is the virus. That's far more extreme than even Reform have come out with.

The “Labour” Party finds itself arguing ordinary workers, carers and others are “takers”.
Hey everyone, here's the news, if you aren't a high earner, entrepreneur or a "skilled frontline worker" (whatever the fuck that means) the "Labour" Party says you aren't contributing, you're a taker!
This is so disgusting.

Just got my flu jag. I left it a bit late but hopefully it’s still worth it. I’m invigilating exams this exam season so will be in halls with 100s of students, thought it would be best to get vaccinated even if it was about £20

Actually somewhat-massive news, COCONA, one of the members of the all-Japanese based-in-Korea group XG, has come out as non-binary transmasc and having had top surgery
Which for an active idol in either country is just unheard of, never mind one at such a big group. They look amazing!

The issue is that a woman working full time on a decent salary cannot afford rent on a one bed flat and the cost of childcare to allow her to work
THAT’S what should be being called out
But the RW media don’t want people questioning THAT
Better to vilify those struggling to make ends meet

How gender critical was Nazi Germany? Let’s find out & compare some top gender critical “beliefs” with evidence from historical Nazi Germany. Each post has a GC position + a picture from a historical source or modern research paper. English translation & the source are in each picture’s alt-text.

Bilingualism is only acceptable when it’s a certain class of people doing it: whether it’s one of the royals kids learning Spanish from their nanny, or Nigel Farage’s own children speaking fluent German with their mother. It only becomes a racist moral panic when the hoi polloi have that ability too
What a fucking loser. Bilingualism is amazing and we should celebrate the weans who can speak multiple languages - it will probably be them who will allow the UK to thrive globally.

Considering Streeting's well stated belief autism, ADHD etc, along with mental health issues, are "overdiagnosed", I won't hold my breath for this doing anything other than being used to cut support, along with opportunities for diagnosis, for people who need it. #r4today

All of the money that goes into the benefit system is spent by the people that receive it so it actually boosts the economy. The money given to billionaires is hoarded often outside of the country.
Just something to think about while you’re spouting drivel about people on benefits and immigrants.
