Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

🧵 Good article from @neilmackay.bsky.social I deleted Twitter over a year ago now. I haven’t missed it one bit. And at one point I found it so useful especially for sharing petitions I started for abortion law reform www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...
'I quit Twitter because the hate made my stomach heave'
Writer at Large Neil Mackay says that the hate and violence on Elon Musk’s X site was having a profoundly negative effect on him. Now he’s quit,…

Frogs drink most of their dietary water through their butts.

Kermit could not be reached for comment.
Have you ever seen a toad or frog 'wallow' in a puddle after a dry spell?

You may know that they mostly drink through their skin, but not all over!

There's a "seat patch" on their bellies that makes up ~10% of skin surface, but absorbs 70% of liquid in a rehydrating frog or toad.

What Zoe says here is important: if you're extending sympathy to the student here, what good is that doing for the student and their academic future? This person is a psych major, presumably wanting to go into therapy. If you're not able to think well, how are you gonna help people with their needs?
I’m going to throw nuance on nuance here.
Not all sincerely-held religious beliefs have a place in the marketplace of ideas. Some of them are offensive and should be called out as such.
HOWEVER, these are bad faith actors pushing these offensive ideas, with aims that must be recognized

How do people not see that the entire OU essay thing is just an attempt by this girl and the Turning Point chapter to turn her into another Riley Gaines grifting on trying to push trans people out of society?
Here's what this is actually about, dumbass

It is incredibly strange that these schools seem to factor in zero reputational, enrollment, or recruitment damage to their “settling with Trump” equation, when clearly there’s a major hit to all three.
We must keep calling out those that cave to the Trump Admin, and the latest is Northwestern.

As part of their "deal," NU will pay $75 million, stop vital research, renege on agreements with its students over the war in Gaza, and more.

Throwing your students under the bus to please Trump. Shameful.

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

There is a well coordinated national campaign targeting a single trans professor at Oklahoma University to get her fired. It's part of a broader campaign to push trans people out of public life entirely. It was never about sports.

are people not deeply, existentially embarrassed to do shit like get their professor fired for giving their shitty essay a shitty grade. is there no part of them that kind of wants to die because rather than just let the trans girl win the swim meet they decided to cry no fair to the newspaper

A big reason I didn't go into teaching was because I didn't want to suffer a fate like this.

I picked a profession where I could be invisible and behind the scenes. I didn't want to subject myself to the witch-hunts of transphobes.
every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

You won't commission an Etsy witch cause "it's silly", but you'll decorate a dead tree inside your house with lights and ornamental animals? Okay. Guess you hate women in the workforce.
