THE ANTI-LGBTQ+ WTF FILES👀

(a 🧵of anti-LGBTQ+ bigots who have been exposed for either having unhealthy sexual relationships, being abusers, groomers, pedophiles or massive hypocrites who believe in nothing)

The excellent @TBSkyen put my essay into this video/selected essays project and I had Many Feelings when he started reading it out 😭❤️

It’s happening now. A petition to remove LGBT content from the education curriculum.
To all those who deny the homophobia arising from the trans moral panic: WAKE UP.
They want Section 28 all over again. When our trans siblings suffer, the entire LGBTQ+ community suffers.

It's really sweet that machines, too, struggle with drawing hands ❤️

damn you don’t say

I've been called a 'filthy centrist for suggesting that Wes Streeting might have some good points on healthcare - whilst the ultra-Left accuse him of being a Red Tory and the Right accuse him of being a Marxist infiltrator. This thread has some facts and explanations.

[Tim Norwood @tmnrwd]

It's generally very good but episode 4 opens with a character talking to his own daemon to deliver a large quantity of exposition. Some of the worst as-you-knowing lol

[Tim Norwood @tmnrwd]

In the vein of the Gaiman-Dream resemblance, I can't help but notice that His Dark Materials' Asriel, badass badass interdimensional fighter for truth and freedom just happens to be... an Oxford academic like Phillip Pullman

I know I shouldn't read any tweets by a terf but.
One of them literally used the hashtag underhiseye
In a standard nasty biological essentialism tweet
And that's the "god is always watching so don't question your rape-filled slavery" phrase from handmaid's tale??
What even???

Really sad to see people in replies defending this kind of behaviour. There's no room to be a human being in this kind of workplace

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Fascinating how the norm for a million dollar company is “work through the holidays” and not “of course we can afford to give you time off”

[Tim Norwood @tmnrwd]

There's something very comforting about having a text to read in order to make your art better. Maybe that's why creative education is popular.

Getting to the end of it though, that means you have to actually do some work :(

[Tim Norwood @tmnrwd]

I enjoyed episode 1 of Sandman (always surprised how these giant projects end up with dialogue and pacing issues though) but now I'm wondering if I too should write a story where the awesome tortured soul protagonist just happens to look exactly like myself

[Ciaran Conliffe @shinyemptyhead]

I was so intrigued I had to check if this was real and track down the source. It is real. It's from a 1966 issue of a magazine called "Transvestia" which, despite the name using a term from an earlier time, was a genuinely ground-breaking trans magazine.
