“I am so distressed by people who call themselves ‘radical feminists’ but are anti-trans. I could weep. I don’t get it. It’s beyond me,” she says. “When the feminist movement started in the 60s and 70s, lesbians were often excluded, because we were told that we would make the movement less palatable. I have been excluded myself, so how could I do that to someone else? It fills me with rage.”

If you're on the fence about Meta or even calling others on here "idiots" for disagreeing with you, may I point out this article and let you ruminate on what it could mean for the fedi.

"As first noted by The New Scientist and Animal New York, Facebook's data scientists manipulated the News Feeds of 689,003 users, removing either all of the positive posts or all of the negative posts to see how it affected their moods."

Grindr workers announced their intention to unionise, now they're being told to move to Grindr's offices or lose their jobs.

"One of my colleagues began to ask a question about all of us suddenly having to uproot our lives - and they cut the call."

Got fired by his agency. When he called David Tennant a "groomer" he didn't realise they were both handled by the same agent (Independent Talent).

Nearly all the UK papers today have articles about the rise of shoplifting but they don't mention:

Loads of folk are skint via govt policies
Loads of folk who are skint have kids to feed
Food banks are struggling to provide because they're skint
There's another group who just have less money but still feel entitled to fancy things because of this 4-decades-long Thatcherite obsession with individualism and all its accompanying societal effects

Riots soon, eh. :blobcatcoffee:

None of these mfers are ready for the Green wave at the next election, are they? All 3 of the main parties getting asked "can we get treated like actual human beings plz" and the reply is always "No".

"UK Labour Party boss Keir Starmer said he has “no intention” of changing drug laws in the country if his party wins at the next election."
