According to a survey by Pew Research Center in late 2021, a whopping 44 percent of childless males say it is unlikely or not at all likely that they'll have children someday. Of those, 50 percent simply (and selfishly) offer a simple reason: they just don’t want kids.

TERFs: "there is no room for ambiguity, you're either a man or a woman"
Imane Khelif: "hi I'm a cis woman"
TERFs: "changed my mind, I suddenly recognize the existence of complex sex biology but just long enough to exclude this one person from womanhood"
@MarkJRainey@AerLingus@manairport Hi Mark, weird coincidence but I also travelled via @AerLingus to MAN on 23 December, my bag also got lost, and I also received the wrong bag from them on 25 December. Any chance we got yours? It is still with my parents as my mother accidentally signed for it.
The reason people are having a hard time finding sympathy for the submarine passengers is because it isn’t a situation that could happen to anyone. No one is afraid of a friend or family member accidentally spending 250k to go criss cross apple sauce into the uss jigsaw
Rich Titanic tourists sink in submarine: Whole world watches as navies spare no expense to find them.
Hundreds of migrants sink in overcrowded boat: Hope you can swim, losers.

@itsallariddle@billybragg@scarimor How can you prove that it's an invisible thought and not a feeling? Can you even really define the difference? Can you see inside trans people's heads? Or have you just arbitrarily decided to legitimise the experience of same-sex attraction and not the experience of being trans?
“It is silly to make laws and policy based on something intangible that no one can see” But sexuality is something that no on can see and yet we rightly make laws based on that to protect the rights of gays and lesbians 7/10
@itsallariddle@billybragg@scarimor How is the feeling of sexual desire for someone of the same sex any more "tangible" than the experience of being trans? You can't touch sexual attraction. It's no more perceptible to the five senses than being trans is.
If you would like a pleasantly maddening picture of exactly how severely the fossil fuel industry has been lying to us, here's their total net income from 2015 to 2022, compared to how much they've spent on various non-fossil technologies:
King Charles's bucolic fairytales would lead to mass starvation and ecological destruction.
My column about how romantic idylls of food production block honest conversations about what it takes to feed the world without devouring the planet.

Wes - so disappointing - not just a rejection of fair voting system (which Labour members voted for) but failure to clearly call out Met Police arrest of anti-monarchy protesters - peaceful protest is a fundamental right & yesterday it was denied #bbclauraK
Letter in today’s Guardian: “In recent years, the food bank has used grants from the national lottery to support its activities, but recent applications for funding have been unsuccessful. They have been told that much of the funding is going to events celebrating the coronation”
