Isn't the phrase 'women and girls' a big TERFy dogwhistle? It seems to have crept into the discourse around Sarah Everard - said by politicians, media etc all the time - in a way that feels really jarring. Maybe it's always been said, but it stands out to me. I just find it odd.

Maybe it's always been said, but it stands out to me. I just find it odd. Yes it’s the route the Terfs are going and how I got probably perma suspended from twitter. I had a tweet that was rocketing from at least 6k where I called them out for using this death to blame trans women, got mass reported and then the next time I swore BAM “hate speech” ban. I honestly think it wasn’t auto this time and some TERF at twitter was sitting on my account ready to ban. Why? Because earlier in the week I had reported a TERF to twitter and the police for a bomb threat, she went protected and was never banned, but in banning me all my twitter reports and the verdict email disappears. If you see someone pretending to be me on there It’s not, that account is gone if I get it back or not, just being on a platform who would do this as a high follower and therefore from a corporate view high value account makes me feel ill.

Yeah the Sisters Uncut organisation is on a TERF hitlist after some confrontation started by TERF at speakers corner a few years back so TERF twitter is doing some godawful poo poo like siding with the police over their attack on the vigil as means of attacking trans rights.

Jess Philips made it utterly clear that this was the official TERF line when she read out all the “women who have been murdered by men” and didn’t include any trans women.

I cannot begin to say how unsafe twitter is for trans women right now. I think people who know me from there know I can make a awful list of things that have happened in real life because of twitter stalking, and that it will be true, but also that I won’t because it will be an upsetting read for them.

Breath Ray posted:absolutely right - that's what makes 'cathartic' rants about gammons doubly frustrating. but there is hope, says this former editor of Marxism Today: That's a really good article, and that is the right solution to right-wing populism. Even assuming good faith just because someone recognises the same descriptive problems as you does not at all mean that they'll support your prescriptive solutions. Across the west right-wing populism can basically be summed up as the old joke about Bannon, it's 'universal healthcare but only for white people', if you actually talk to these people then stronger union rights? Nah, they got annoyed by an uppity black nurse once. More social housing? So Blair can fill them up with muslims, methinks not. Taxing the rich remotely appropriately? Literally depends on if the rhetorical rich are within-that-conversation implied to be globohomo jews or Strong British Job Creators. If woke leftlib idiots sometimes seem to not be objective humanists then that is so much more profoundly a problem with right populists. OwlFancier posted:I'm not sure there is any subgrouping in society, or any question asked, where the answers given do not basically skew old/bad and young/good. I don't know if that's so universal, it feels like the time period when this stuff could be easily recorded and examined aligns with the time period when lots of world-changing things were happening very quickly. Not to be all Freakonomics but it does seem sort of intuitive that when you're young and thrusting and the world is potentially your oyster you'd probably benefit from widespread social change, but once you get older and you are probably living the statistically average life there's maybe less potential benefit to you in widespread social change, and heck you might even lose what you already have.

Jesus Christ I just had the most mad experience. On way back from the Sisters Uncut protest in Leeds and stop off at the memorial and having a quiet moment with my partner and our (female) friend, and I hear male voices coming from the street next to us: 'pretty soon you'll just have to look at the floor everywhere you walk.' I'm thinking that surely this can't be the conversation I think it is. Then 'really they should be thankful you find them attractive'. As soon as I stop being lost for words I realise the other two haven't clocked it so turn and say it's not the place to be having that conversation, then I tell the other two what they said and my friend, the legend, shouts 'you loving CUNTS' after them. Then they actually have the audacity to turn back towards us as if to start something and say 'it wasn't about anyone here' and we let them know we don't give a gently caress. They walked off at this point but gently caress me. What the loving gently caress. Loudly chatting about you can't leer at and harass women in the street next to the memorial to the woman recently taken from the street and murdered. What the gently caress.

https://twitter.com/PaulBrandITV/status/1371534119184793600 The Year is 2022. The Churchill Statue (PBUH) is under constant 24/7 surveillance by our Bravest And Most Patriotic Lads. Anyone who walks within 15ft of His Greatness without displaying a suitable amount of respect is added to the List of Unpatriotic Citizens. Sir Keir Starmer of the Labour Party attacks the Prime Minister in the House of Commons for not being "patriotic enough", he wants to see even tougher punishment for those who would Disrespect Our History.

 Checked the social medias for Bolton North East CLP and couldn't see anything sus or anything that would reframe those statements. Happy to be wrong but I genuinely don't know what basis Labour has to call that statement anti-semitic. Literally the only thing that remotely parses is that "hugely popular" is an oblique reference to the UK populace statistically being more antisemitic than the Labour membership are, but that's very loving weak and actively incoherent to other Labour positioning/messaging. If you're left wing you're gonna be called a racist just FYI lads.

kingturnip posted:I'm due my second Pfizer jab this week. It'll be nice to get that and still be unable to go on holiday anywhere because the entire world is run by buffoons. So up until this week, the worlds scientific community weren't sure if vaccines make it so that you can no longer spread Covid or not. https://www.deseret.com/u-s-world/2021/3/14/22327524/pfizer-vaccine-asymptomatic-transmission-data At the moment it looks like the Pfizer vaccine will more or less prevent the spread of Covid along with stopping the effects of the disease. That being said, I keep running into people on social media who seem to believe that getting the Vaccination means that the Pandemic no longer applies to them and that now the world is greatly inconveniencing them by not going back to 2019. Like I stopped following someone who was just liking posts by a Liberterian type who was saying that after he gets his vaccinations, all pubs should just open and refuse entry from anyone who doesn't have a vaccination passport.

They're still on track for getting all over-18s their first dose by end of July afaik. Stocks of the Moderna vaccine (of which we have ordered I think 17m doses) are coming in imminently which is expected to massively increase the already high rate of vaccination. I think it becomes a free-for-all once they get to the under 40s so as coolcab says if you're keen to get the jab you will probably be able to book a spot pretty fast.
