Haha, we've been doing #Hades and #HadesII for weeks and I forgot to update this! We're trying to finish the story content for #Hades before the final launch of #HadesII! We've also shifted our schedule from 2 pm - 6 pm GMT-5 to 2 pm to 8 pm GMT-5!

Our current lineup is #AssassinsCreedOdyssey on weekdays and #SilentHill2 on Sunday! We might be near the end of SH2, though, so we'll be moving into #SilentHill3 soon!

Are they explicitly and directly opposing the positions of the party they claim to be part of, then? That's the only way that could possibly be true, given the way Labour proper has approached queer rights, immigration, the disabled, poor folks, and now abortion.

Vast, vast majority of trans people aren't going to leave the country. Many can't leave the areas they're currently in.

If trans survival/liberation are something one cares about, at all, that's the reality.

So...🧵

(And no, this is not — in the main — about indviduals leaving the country).

How? Are Young Labour presenting the white nationalist anti-queer bullshit more apologetically?

Meanwhile our senior senator thinks Democrats should not talk about any of this in their shutdown fight because “it’s gotta be health care all the way.” He is predictably, devastatingly wrong and I wish the people in power cared about our city and our neighbors more than whatever this approach shows

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

Explaining the consequences of your decisions isn't an attack.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

List specific permanent decisions an 8 year old would be faced with upon exploring who they are when given a simple lesson explaining that someone might have a gender identity that doesn't match their sex.

Why are you fine ignoring the fact that we absolutely have the information we need? Almost no trans kids desist. Most detransitioners are FORCED to, by circumstances. Mistakes are MORE likely if you wait until the last minute to let them start figuring themselves out.

Lady Aranea @ladyaranea.bsky.social · 1h

even for cis kids?

Would you want pilots to wait until they're on the runway in the cockpit to start talking about the complexities of flight, or is it just kids you want sorely unprepared to make decisions leading up to the major events in question?

Why are you OK with neglecting trans kids?

Lady Aranea @ladyaranea.bsky.social · 1h

Wait until WHEN? Until they ARE going through puberty, and it's suddenly a matter of urgency to prevent permanent changes, so decisions are rushed and they have to figure out who they are while simultaneously dealing with the new feelings brought on by hormones, which are already often unpleasant

I think that establishing opposition to government inspection of little girls' genitals and its invasion of medical privacy and bodily autonomy should be core issues, because they affect everyone. If the government regulates activities based on trans status, accusing people of being trans can harm.

As demonstrated by her promise to continue providing ironclad support to the people committing genocide, and her telling the delegates of her own party who were literally begging for the lives of their families to vote for Trump.

Life would have been better never knowing what I'd lost because of these racists. Because this might kill me.
