Let’s be very clear since this isn’t dying down: Kemi Badenoch is a hateful cunt. David Tennant said nothing wrong and a white man fighting for the rights of trans women is more than welcome to tell a transphobic black woman to shut the fuck up. Stop weaponizing identity politics!

David Tennant Labeled “The Problem” by U.K. Prime Minister in LGBTQ+ Rights Clashwww.hollywoodreporter.com The 'Doctor Who' star was speaking at the British LGBT Awards when he said he wished Kemi Badenoch, a top government minister with controversial views on the LGBTQ+ community, would "shut up."

The great David Tennant of Doctor Who calls out Kemi Badenoch for being a horrible, hateful person. David is an absolute treasure.

In case you're wondering what renowned monster David Tennant said that led to Kemi Badenoch labelling him a bigot and a bully...

I got a cover shaped cover in my inbox and I cannot *wait* to do a reveal 🥰 #💙📚 #🌈📚 #writer #fantasybook

The absolutely wild thing is: This goes for ALL social aid. Just *giving people some fucking money,* literally going "OK, how much did you need?", cutting checks, and waving them out the door? COSTS LESS and HAS BETTER OUTCOMES than the current system's bureaucracy and means testing, EVERY TIME.

With alt-text because THIS IS LITERALLY EVERYONE’S EXPERIENCE & I FUCKING HATE IT. Being disabled is a godsdamn full time job battling different agencies all damn day. #NEISvoid

Unless I can figure something out by the end of the week, I'm going to have to go to a shelter. I'm stressed and depressed and scared and demoralized and so fucking hurt. I don't even know what to do right now. If you can't donate, please share at least.

I realized I hadn't shared this here yet. I'm in *really* dire straits at the moment and could use some help. Even if you can't donate, sharing helps so much! gofund.me/bcfec8ad

Belgian art is wild sometimes, and I love it when it happens. (Also typical for me to find out football scores on the internet after the fact)

To celebrate the Red Devils' 2-0 win against Romania last night, here's Intérieur d'atelier (1882), a totally normal self-portrait by Léon Frédéric (1856-1940), much of whose work is bonkers even by Belgian standards (though he did turn out some lovely social realism later on). #LesBelges

The greatest scam in social welfare programs is planning around the idea that individuals exist under hardships because they lack motivation or education as opposed to the truth: That most are suitably motivated and educated but lack the time and resources required to change their circumstances.

Individuals who received the $1,000/mo or $500/mo payments were more likely to find a stable, full-time job than before they received the basic income. Results showed 45% of participants secured housing, while $589,214 was saved in public service costs. "It's freedom. It's freedom from poverty..."

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants had housing.www.businessinsider.com Participants in Denver's basic income program received up to $1,000 a month. They became more housing secure and landed full-time jobs.

I was just thinking about this because we live in a world where nobody has to have HIV in the future and we can regrow teeth and have tons of renewable energy and could really transform into a post-scarcity society, but "maybe we can take care of people" is still the most left of left positions.

it blows me away that saying “housing is a right” is an extreme position. “people should be fed.” also, given pride month: “trans people have a right to thrive” the centrist POV on all of these issues is “well be reasonable! not everyone deserves a place to stay” which is wild to me

Friends, I've been working on a lil set of standalone queer romance short stories (10-12K). Each is about a first date, and all MCs are in their 40s or early 50s. One sapphic, one queer M/F, one F/F/M polyam, and one M/M with my first ace MC (has been SRed). If you might wanna beta one, DM me! 🏳️‍🌈

Happy Swedish National Day! One of my favourite Swedish words is maskrosbarn, which means “dandelion child.” Dandelions can survive in almost any conditions, even growing through tarmac, so a dandelion child is one that still turns out well, despite having a difficult childhood.

Friendly reminder: While everyone's making a big thing about pride, and coming out of the closet, let's remember that not everyone is ready, or able, to come out safely. This is why we must keep fighting.
