This is why people need to stop buying or interacting with any and all HP related shit. I don’t care what those books meant to you as a kid, right now she’s using every penny of royalties to make people’s lives worse. She is disgusting, and continuing to support her is too

But of course she does!…

Because she’s an obsessive, transphobic, BILLIONAIRE!!! 😖

Yet public organisations are being criticised by the trans-hostile media for not just rolling over to wealthy BULLIES using their money to force their IDEOLOGY on others! 😣

I often say we all have the power to impact someone's day, or life even, through words only. You can save a life with a simple compliment. You can save someone's passion with a kind word.
Being louder than hatred with what you love and kindness isn't silly nor weak, it's a needed strength.

You know what I think we should all do? Just start reply to stuff with positive comments.

Dickheads are so quick to comment, how about we tell people they look good? Their art is cool? The event sounds excellent. Whatever. Fucking hell, let’s just be openly nice for once.

ADHD waiting lists are often just spreadsheets. Literally. No severity rating. No link between Trusts. No shared database.

A 21st century health system run on 1990s admin tools. Patients wait years while the data stays a mess.

Germany's Minister of Justice today: "Suspicionless #ChatControl must be taboo in a state governed by the rule of law." Private communication cannot be placed under general suspicion. "Germany will not agree to such proposals at the EU level."

Anlasslose Chatkontrolle muss in einem Rechtsstaat tabu sein. Private Kommunikation darf nie unter Generalverdacht stehen.“

If you are a Canadian NSFW artist, please keep an eye on your account after Oct 15 and contact me if any of your media/account is censored with the new ToS.

I may have a follow-up meeting with the federal government in the coming months to address this.

We're now finding out that as many as 70,000 people had their government IDs provided to prove their ages leaked by Discord. Like I wrote last week, this is an inherent risk (and made greater by a rushed process) of getting platforms to do age checks

Discord says 70,000 users may have had their government IDs leaked in breach

The ID pics had been submitted as part of age-related appeals.

A mutual of mine just posted to this sub and got 300 upvotes, 4 comments and 100+ shares on their post and the art has only been up for 3 hours. I KNOW that's more activity than what a lot of y'all see even here on bsky. Go share your work in this community! LET THEM LOVE YOU.

Folks who draw trans art, I'm begging you to post it over on the trans sub reddits who accept art bc there are so many people on reddit who think you guys don't exist and aren't posting stuff and it's too much!! PEOPLE WANT YOU SO BAD...

Don't keep your emotions bottled up.

It's okay to cry, it's okay to vent.

It's okay not to be okay, you aren't a burden to anyone.

It's healthy to cry, holding in your emotions will only hurt you further, don't be hard on yourself.. 🫂

The thread below already mentions HeLa but what really struck me about the whole thing is that BILLIONS have been made off those cells and the justification is "oh they saved lives though, fuck it right"

And like, sure, if you didn't royally fuck over the people you took the cells from

Did you know that entire fields of cytology, molecular biology, microbiology, endocrinology, etc would basically literally just not exist the way they are today if not for the doctors and scientists unethically experimenting and harvesting samples from black people, most of all black women?

Like imagine studying HeLa cell line and its impact on cytology that helped eg eradicate polio, but never throughout will you learn it was illegaly taken from Henrietta Lacks, even though she finally got some recognition as of late. If you don't take "ethics in medicine" course or w/e you won't know

A lot of folks struggle with this idea:

If you turn some quality into an assault on people you don't like, you have communicated to the people you *do* like who have that quality that the only thing protecting them from the same treatment is that you favor them... and that's bigotry in a nutshell.
