i am very firmly of the belief that there is no such thing as a celebrity ally. would never ordinally stick my neck out an inch to defend anyone of such immense privilege.

but the disproportionate standards to which chappell roan is held to is very revealing and sets my teeth on edge.

the subtext of a lot of this "put your own house in order first" is that queer simply haven't tried hard enough to convince their homophobic family to not be homophobic

as if these relatives are supposed to go "oh, gosh, i didn't know it was hurting you, i'll stop"

99.9999% of the time upwards class mobility happens it is *at least* in part down to pure dumb luck (or more accurately- privilege!) this is all i have to say.

look. if you have a 'working class background' but are now comfortably middle class- thats awesome. genuinely. i am very happy that you were able to escape poverty one way or the other.

i merely kindly ask that you stop talking on behalf of those of us who are *currently* working class.

what?

im white working class and trans.

the english flag instantly makes me think ‘racist’.

the far right have spent my entire life( 41 years ) using it that way.

this has nothing to do with terfs. 🤷‍♀️

(the separation of white working class from working class is quite plainly; racism, btw)

white, working class, english trans woman (and bragg fan) here. this is fucking disappointing, to put it lightly.

computers ain't people

turning the mundane horror of queer life into a dunk like it proves something

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Cis friends and allies: Do you see how "biological" is simply a slur when used by transphobes to demean trans people?

"Birth name" is a term we already have (not that that would be any more defensible, just less insane-sounding). "Biological" here is solely a dog-whistling cudgel against trans ppl

Tory policy: everybody must speak English but nobody is allowed to study it.

The thing is that even if there weren't queer Palestinians in Gaza who are being killed by the IDF, even if every single individual Palestinian were a raging homophobe or transphobe (they aren't), it still wouldn't be okay to murder them with explosives.

if you know enough about polanski to know that he changed his name then you absolutley know the reason why. abso-fuckin-lutely, WILDLY antisemitic. gross.

I'm never actually going to need to write another comment piece again am I?

just an 'unfortunate error' that your algorithm flags images of disabled people as explicit sexual content "surprisingly often", is it? no further thoughts? no plans to fix that? fucking hell.

get your shit together man. y'all are jokes @moderation.bsky.app

hearing michael bloody heseltine say it really does obliterate any lingering doubts about my own contempt for centrism that were still stuck in the back of my mind. strange times we're living in.

I will never vote for this man. I'm just going to say that right now

you can confidently write any news outlet off as stupid ridiculous garbage if they even so much as imply that starmer is a "leftist". fucking honestly.

I'm not as annoyed by people from the US assuming every post is about the US, as some but it is a weird the confidence with which they do it.

"you are taking in the human centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume." ouch. if that dont nail it. poor girl.
