Blonde bombshell. Sizeable forehead.

She/her eg "she has a sizeable forehead" / "her forehead is sizeable"

A 10-year-girl in Delaware picked up “It’s Perfectly Normal” while at the library with her mother. When they came home, she showed her mom the chapter on sexual abuse and said, “This is me.” She was being abused by her father, and it was the first time she’d spoken about it.

We’ve arrived at peak pathetic dystopia. The govt. would rather create floating prisons than just fix the problems they have created in the Home Office. We’re at 13 years of incompetence.

I’m writing my Sunday night newsletter. It’s about how the NHS logo is used in the branding of private companies running NHS services, which reduces peoples’ awareness about privatisation+ lends private companies the trust associated with our public healthcare system🚨💙

RIP to this beautiful young girl, really reminds us we’re not safe as Women 😢 Our mere existence can end in tragedy.

Witnessing the public suffering of the homeless is indeed uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable because it forces you to see the depths of state and communal failure, and to acknowledge your own complicity.

🤯One of the stories of the night - we’ve gained FIFTEEN SEATS in East Herts overnight. We’re set to overtake the tories as the largest group. Just over 4 years ago, every councillor here was Tory. What a turn-up for the books!

Incredibly proud of the @EastHertsGreen team!

@metpoliceuk Hi how do I report a group that is planning disruption on Saturday by closing roads all across London? They're known to be heavily armed, capable of violence, and particularly dangerous to women https://t.co/Tohxp3VDv4

There were a few gay men who believed that to win decriminalisation they should ditch the gay men they considered to be too camp or flaunting their homosexuality.

They were wrong and we won equality together.

Sadly some still think so narrowly, but this time about trans people.

ITV reports “polling station tellers in Oxfordshire say "large numbers" of voters were being turned away, reporting that between 10-25% were unable to vote.” There was almost no voter fraud in the UK. There is now, and it is officially sanctioned. https://t.co/ltcyusjL62

Why do apprenticeship programs consistently focus only on people aged 16-24?

The economic potential for those aged 25 and above remains vastly untapped, leading to a potential waste of valuable resources

Hundreds of thousands have fled Sudan's capital, Khartoum, but millions remain trapped in a prison of urban warfare.

Conflict between the Sudanese Army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has led to civilians fleeing to Egypt, Saudi Arabia and other nearby countries

10 years ago, Dream Defenders occupied the Florida Capitol in response to the murder of Trayvon Martin. Today, organizers from all across Florida joined them for their “Can’t Ban Us” action, occupying Ron DeSantis’ office in opposition to his fascist agenda

[Dr Annabel @SoSowemimo]

Thinking about Jordan Neely and the many thousands more just like him, who are mentally unravelling, instead of treating them with kindness they are crushed with brute force or disposed of. @hrw

[stefanie lyn kaufman-mthimkhulu @stefkaufman]

Let people call themselves whatever they want. What feels like an identity to you feels like a disorder to someone else. How do we create solidarity and build structures of care beyond telling people that “X is bad, you must use Y language to show you’re part of this community”?

[stefanie lyn kaufman-mthimkhulu @stefkaufman]

Part of the violence of psychiatry is being given names and labels we don’t want, we don’t agree with, and ones that cause us harm or to be criminalized or punished. Part of our needed liberation work is in letting people self-determine what language they use for themselves.

A win for the WGA is a win for all of us.
Streaming has destroyed residuals. Studios keep making money off our legacy work, meanwhile actors are selling Happy Birthday videos online to pay the bills. Support the writers and your own unions! #WGA

[Je suis Fatty-Gay @JustCall_MeJo]

Well studios better give the writers what they are asking for. Y'all love to frame labor actions like this to pit consumers against workers when it's corporations/bosses that are the issue. The WGA has been trying to avoid this for MONTHS but studios wouldn't work with them.

Hi I have my first book coming out this fall on breaking up (for real) with your toxic ex. Their name is capitalism.

It's got illustrations, lots of 90s rom com references, and my corny jokes about moving on to something finer (socialism). This was a serious labor of love!
