Working class feminist academic. Research epistemic injustice, anti-poverty activism, media representations of poverty. NUJ activist. Admired Danny Dyer long before it became fashionable. Views are my cat's. I'm intolerant of misogyny and misogynists!♀️
I now have so little respect for 'trans rights', as they currently manifest, and 'trans allies', who are clearly misogynists, that this twisted nonsense is funny. I've got an intolerance label for pointing out the intolerance label is inaccurate and unfair. 😂😂😂
I've tried repeatedly to get BlueSky to remove the inaccurate, unfair label on my account. It won't because BlueSky is a misogynistic platform. It's no better than Elon Musk's X, really.
You'd think Amnesty International, an organisation with some seriously ugly controversies in its recent past, would think twice before releasing a report lumping together a variety of pro-women charities and organisations and questioning their motives.
The knee jerk defence of Amnesty International, as if it's an untouchable organisation on the firm moral high ground, doesn't stand up to scrutiny. It compensated the family of a worker who took his own life - and asked them to sign a non-disclosure agreement. www.thirdsector.co.uk/amnesty-inte...
It's naïve to unthinkingly defend Amnesty International and to reject any criticism of it as an organisation. Sadly, that's current politics. "39 per cent of Amnesty International staff reported that they developed mental or physical health issues as the direct result of working at Amnesty".
I'm enjoying Patricia Wolf's DS Walker thrillers so much I'm gutted when I have to go to sleep/work because it interrupts my reading. There's nowt better than having a good book on the go, eh?!
Who at BBC News didn't recognise Zack Polanski and/or Little Alex Horne?!!
We all have to cope in the heat today. Harrelson is cooling his feet in ice water.
I've long found the repeated exploitation of this woman's story uncomfortable. People queuing up to discuss her in a documentary after her death seemed insensitive (at best) to me. Now we're told of the *shock* at her living in social housing. Seems to me she would've been much worse off without it!
Irish people complaining about immigrants is objectively hilarious.
Yep. Discrimination against protected groups. Plural. The plural is important because then I can be accused of all sorts ... rather than recognised as fairly centring women in feminism.
An obnoxious tom cat* has come into my home, breaching the boundaries of mine and Mandy's separatist feminist commune, and he stole Mandy's drugs. She's outraged. *He's very cute.
Tip Toe is as subtle as a brick, to be expected from Russell T Davies, but Dame Melba is, so far at least, a good character. Very Anna Madrigal from Armistesd Maupin's Tales of the City. He briefly acknowledges women's justified anger.
Another day, another appeal ignored by BlueSky's sexist @moderation.bsky.app
Anyway, I went to Blists Hill Victorian town in Ironbridge. #VotesForWomen ♀️
Headlines prioritising trans identifying people above women, the pro-trans framing of single-sex spaces and services for women, and the manipulation in some press has been appalling. Women have secured hard-won rights to retain boundaries for privacy and safety. Women matter too. ♀️
I ask again: intolerant of what @moderation.bsky.app ? I've not abused, harassed, or insulted other BlueSky users. In fact, I've been on the receiving end of abuse, harassment and insults. So in what way am I 'intolerant'? Do you think maybe BlueSky is intolerant of women? Of feminists?
Hopefully Phillipson preserving single-sex spaces will encourage campaigning for third spaces. There are better ways to accommodate trans identifying people. Women fought over centuries for single-sex spaces and services for our dignity, privacy and safety. We still need them. archive.ph/aXsWh
Kellie Jay-Keen/Posie Parker is a vile grifter. Always has been. Also, if she were any thicker, she'd set. Islam, Judaism and Christianity are inseperable as religions and, so too, in education. Religious hatred shouldn't be tolerated. Nor should dressing up as a far right air steward.
Look at these cosplaying twits. Churches are empty every weekend. Church of England bishops have condemned the "Unite the Kingdom" protests. But this lot pick up wooden crosses and pretend to care about Christianity. The utter stupidity of it is remarkable.
It never fails to surprise me how liberals can't see their own bigotry and stupidity. Since when did being unable to access/afford a dentist signal voting intent?!
It seems @moderation.bsky.app really does just ignore appeals against inaccurate labels. Even in rhyme.
My teddy Kevin briefly found fame in his old age in an exhibition at Liverpool John Moores. I'm very proud. 🐻
So, @moderation.bsky.app you seem to think I'm the bully but @ikari-wolf.bsky.social is another Trumpian trans activist who thinks it's okay to harass and lie. Have you labelled them 'intolerant' yet? Although 'boring' might be more appropriate.
