- #OtD 2 Feb 1988 4 lesbians abseiled into the UK House of Lords in protest at the homophobic section 28. In 2017, 4 other lesbians climbed onto the Houses of Parliament in order to put up a blue plaque commemorating the 1988 action stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9181...

He had no criminal charges against him and was on the path to getting a green card.

- With more material from the Epstein files released today, I feel compelled to remind us that NI had its own version. It was called Kincora Boys Home and there are powerful ppl walking around today who are very glad that email didn't exist when they were abusing children and having it covered up. 💔
- Reposted by Kellie TurtleI keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

- Reposted by Kellie TurtleTo those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote": 1. Things have changed. 2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit) 3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

- In case anyone cares, I do not support banning social media for U16s because regulate tech companies, not young people. And this is just a hunch but I bet there's crossover between those smartphone free childhood ppl and the ones who don't want kids finding out online that it's ok to be queer/trans.

Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.
- Reposted by Kellie TurtleThe name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all.

- Reposted by Kellie TurtleMy dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
- Got news of the death of a woman I used to know who was a friend of my kid sister and therefore always a kid in my eyes. But she was in her 40s and had spent most of her life fighting the impact of CSA. These are the women that patriarchy quietly kills, because the system protects abusive men. RIP 💔

- They should have stood up to the bullies and fought for trans girls. I teach my girlguiding daughter to stand up for people who are being picked on but this organisation has failed to model those values. They let the bullies win. A lifelong commitment to guiding is now broken for my family. 💔

- I feel like we're approaching a moment where American liberals finally realise why violent uprisings happen under oppresive regimes in other countries. Because who do you report a despot to when he controls everything? Your democratic institutions might not be able to save you.
