@RealJamesWoods The saddest thing I've ever watched

[Sophie Thompson @sophthomptlt]

@imdanabowling Agree

[Elica Le Bon الیکا‌ ل بن @elicalebon]

We are living through the right side of history right now.

Freedom is storming in to eliminate terror.

Take a good look around you. Remember where everybody stood.

[Jenny Lindsay @msjlindsay]

There's not a woman on earth born before 2002 or thereabouts who thought her life would be eaten up by having to argue men aren't women and being punished for saying so. It is the most insane thing that has ever happened to a lot of us. That mustn't ever be downplayed.

[Meghan Murphy @MeghanEMurphy]

Unfortunately for women, the extent of retardation I'm seeing in the Instagram stories of women I know is making me think women are retarded.

Women: please stop. I do not wish to believe you are retarded.

But.

You fell for Covid hysteria
You fell for BLM hysteria
You for sure fell for Trump hysteria (and continue to)
You transwomen are women'd your social media feeds for years
You are now on the "ICE are fascists!" hysteria track
Next month it's going to be something else
Can you please not fall for every single hysteric news cycle trend fed to your algorithm?

Has it occurred to you that you could stop and think for a moment before posting something completely hyperbolic, based on the incredibly biased non-information your friends share in their Instagram stories, as it just might not be the full story? Has it occurred to you that *gasp* you might be... wrong? Again?

I know I know. Not all women.

BUT the extent to which I have observed women in particular engaging in this behaviour over the past ten years is a lot...

You don't *have* to jump on every bandwagon. You don't *have* to post every hashtag. You don't need to demand people who are not exactly like you unfollow you. That is childish and dumb, and people who are not exactly like you, you'll notice, don't do that to you. They don't tell you you are bad, just because you have bad opinions, which you do. You just don't know it, because you don't bother to consider that alternate views might be legitimate. Even though those views aren't in your friends Instagram stories! Imagine.

Imagine just not posting something stupid and hyperbolic on your social media feed every single time your friends do it. Imagine not posting a black square because everyone else is.

Stop being retarded. Use your brain. Maybe give it a minute or two. Maybe look beyond your algorithm. Maybe learn from history. Recall that the mob isn't always right. And your emotions, stirred up by flashing lights, are also not always right.

It's embarrassing the rest of us.

[Jeffery Mead @the_jefferymead]

That’s the same logic used by Stalin’s secret police. “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”

You pick the target first, assume guilt, then dig through everything until you can justify a charge. That isn’t the rule of law. That’s prosecution as a weapon.

Very authoritarian from the side who is always warning us about authoritarianism..

[James Dreyfus @DreyfusJames]

Unless you’ve followed or paid close attention to what @jk_rowling has been saying, extremely courteously & politely for 10 long years now, & witnessed the decade-long, non-stop onslaught of the worst possible abuse, threats, lies & slander…

UNLESS you’re 100% aware of how civilly & calmly she has conducted herself in the face of such vitriol, hatred & aggression & actively involving family members…

UNLESS you’ve watched, time & time again, men telling her to “sit down & shut up”, “control yourself, woman” or “I don’t think that’s very nice. Why can’t you just be kind & accept what we are telling you?”,
I’m really NOT convinced that it’s your f***ing place to pop up NOW & instruct her to exercise ‘basic common decency’…

SHE’S BEEN DOING THAT FOR 10 YEARS.

So, I’m sure all you bleating, barking men, out there, who’ve suddenly decided she’s “crossed a line”, you, embarrassingly, HAVEN’T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION, have you?

She’s done the whole “being kind” schtick. (For many more years than most of us would, to be honest).

Where has that got her?

TRA’s don’t CARE about that. They are going to hate her regardless. They want the hate. They crave it. Nevertheless, she continued to debate with grace & courtesy, whilst others raged at her from basements etc, worldwide.

But, to you, watching from the sidelines, now popping up like f***ing whack-a-moles, you might have failed to notice that she is out of fucks to give & has said so. Clearly.

And believe it or not, she has the unwavering gratitude & support of a HUGE (& ever-growing) number of women, girls, gay people, transsexuals, detransitioners, parents & children.

Why?

Because she took the fall for those who felt they had no voices nor a chance to say “No”.

Well, they do now. And if that bugs the heck out of you, you’ll have to find a better coping strategy. Because our voices, loudly & given strength because of her, will NEVER deny the truth & always speak up for those who are TRULY vulnerable & marginalised.

And shame on all the Q+ organisations for turning your backs on her, after all the help & financial support she gave to those with HIV. Shame on you.

Thank you again @jk_rowling for standing tall & for NOT “staying in your goddamn’d place!” ❤️

@Fair_and_Biased Yes I remember this too. Set alarm bells off straight away, and I haven’t listened to another episode of hers since!

[Sophie Thompson @sophthomptlt]

@RubinReport WHAT happened to her?!??

[Eve Barlow @Eve_Barlow]

A then 23-year-old woman went to a music festival. She was kidnapped from the music festival. Her friend was shot and killed in the car next to her. The terrorist group who kidnapped her took her into Gaza. She was sexually abused by “doctors” and “journalists” and while that was happening, feminists in the West tore down her missing persons poster and screamed about how rape is justified resistance. She was in captivity for almost 500 days.

Where is your story on it @BBCBreaking @guardian @SkyNews

[Ζoë @zoecabina]

Genuine question, I may have missed it:

Have any Australian Muslim groups come together to raise money for the victims who were attacked by Islamic terrorists?

Have any Australian Muslim groups held vigils at their mosques or publicly prayed for the victims?

Have any given a full-throated rejection of the Bondi massacre and promised to weed out any violent, genocidal members of their community?

@AGHamilton29 So spot on

[Sophie Thompson @sophthomptlt]

@petersavodnik So sad!

[Sophie Thompson @sophthomptlt]

@TheMilkBarTV @DouglasKMurray He's always right!

[Sophie Thompson @sophthomptlt]

@RubinReport We would love that! Maybe you'll need to host a Copal tequila night to celebrate with all your Aussie fans 😄👏🏼

[Sophie Thompson @sophthomptlt]

@RubinReport thank you so much for such a great night in Sydney last night! You were brilliant! @edlear1

[Sophie Thompson @sophthomptlt]

@jk_rowling Also, it’s just strange that they never talk about the other way around—about biological women playing in men’s sports, in their private spaces etc—because they know there is no threat to the biological men. Ruins their argument immediately!
