"When you are constantly bombarded by romance in everyday life, it can feel as if love as an asexual person is not good enough."

How a trip to Glasgow reminded Sarah of the many great love stories in her life

Exploring asexuality has allowed me to recognise all the love stories in my life and celebrate platonic love
Asexuality teaches us that we can, and should, celebrate platonic bonds in the ways usually reserved for romance

Once you understand that ‘gender critical’ transphobes will cut off their own nose to spite their own faces - just so long as it hurts trans people… then everything they do becomes clear!

Yes, they really are that obsessive, petty, and vindictive! 😖
Supporting LGBT+ rights is political in a way that breaches the civil service code and opposing them is not political in a way that precludes charitable status is a... complex position to hold, although one managed by former LGBA hate group with charitable status trustee Kathleen Stock.

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

CT Mirror: "Washington is ignoring a $362 billion chronic illness"

'Chronic fatigue syndrome debilitates as many as 9 million Americans'

'Millions of Americans are waiting. I am one of them...NIH has the roadmap. It’s up to Congress to decide..'

Washington is ignoring a $362 billion chronic illness
The economic consequences of chronic fatigue syndrome are enormous. Yet federal research funding bears almost no relationship to that burden.

I genuinely do not understand why so many people are so interested in other people's personal relationships, ok so this person doesnt talk to their dad, cool, am I their dad and if not why do I even care
Yeah, no thanks.

Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

I will say with love that it would be very wise for a whole lot of us to take a breath and think twice about playing Document Dump Deep Diver on social media.

A bit of a detour, but this made me think about what endlessly fascinates me about Weiss and people like her is how they take conservative positions on most things and yet refuse to describe themselves as conservatives— out of what I suspect is mainly classism
The most impressive thing about Bari is her ability to violate ethical principles while indignantly claiming to defend them.
Weiss concluded: “We need to be able to make every effort to get the principals on the record and on camera. To me, our viewers come first, not a listing schedule or anything else. And that is my North Star, and I hope it's the North Star of every person in this newsroom.”

Targeting a religious gathering because you believe that all Jewish people are responsible for the actions of the state of Israel is center-mass antisemitism.
So the younger shooter, in a video submitted to the court, claims the shooting was aimed at the Zionist policies of Israel as a state. This is distinct from being an attack against Jewish people as a group. Once again the pro-Zionist coalition and right wing media jumped the gun and got it wrong.

In 2021 I dressed in full PPE and held my phone to an intubated 45 year old man's ear while his daughter said goodbye to him.

I truly don't believe in hell but sometimes I wish I did.
This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

The thing is, these people don't really want military history (which incidentally can be social history, art history, disability history, economic history, and more) they want noble tales of White men fighting off dark skinned barbarian hordes, the subtext is very clear.

The Gaza genocide has almost disappeared from the news, even though it's still ongoing. If you live in Europe or the US (and many other places), your govt is complicit.

Write about it, post about it, speak about it. Demonstrate, donate, organise.
