A popular front between liberals and leftists. Seems like something to think about, I dunno.

From the age of 17, Nancy Valverde was repeatedly arrested by the Los Angeles police department for wearing masculine clothing. By the time she died, at age 92, the city had named a square in her honor, its first public monument to a lesbian.

"Every aspect of the annotators’ working lives is digitally monitored. From the moment they use biometric scanners to enter the secure facilities, workers are closely surveilled. Some even believe managers cultivate a network of informers among the staff to [prevent] attempts to form a trade union."

3/ If you consider scripture to be holy, and you consider its words to be sacred, and you consider Isaiah to be a true prophet, why do you love trans people less than Isaiah does?

2/ "For thus saith the LORD: Considering the saris that keeps My Sabbaths, And chooses the things that please Me, And holds fast by my Covenant: Even unto them will I give in My house And within My walls a monument and a memorial, That shall not be cut off."

1/Just a reminder that the Bible is full of trans people. The Hebrew term saris (סָרִיס) is mostly translated into English as eunuch, but in Hebrew is often depicted as a person who was born male but later in life appears female. And the saris is respected. Isaiah 56:4-5 has a blessing for the saris.

Rwanda took 240 million pounds from the Uk and that ghoul Braverman to take refugees and at the end got the money and will take no refugees. Well played, Rwanda, and also a wonderful example of how conservatives manage money while fucking citizens over with "austerity" and "spending cuts"

Last night I think a lot of people learned a very valuable lesson in the small village where I did a gig, and that is, if you go to a comedy gig in a small village where you live, don’t mock a comedian’s disability in a way that will lead to an angry mob of 80% of the women waiting outside for you

For those who don't know: this is James Timpson of Timpson key cutters/shoe repairs/dry cleaners. His company employs ex-convicts and even runs work training programmes in prisons. Genuinely inspired choice.

Oh, now that *is* interesting - James Timpson as minister for prisons, parole and probation. Dare we actually hope for something that might reduce recidivism?
