Always remember who Julie Bindel is: a virulent homophobe, full of hate and self-imposed fear. This is what transphobia does. It absolutely rots your brain.

"LGB-no-T" campaigner Julie Bindel says she'd BAN pride if she could, in order to protect children from predatory gay men. Absolutely fucking appalling. A whole column โย "A Pride of Perverts" โ going on like this.
I once wrote an email to a horrid coworker with four independent typos, like "attahed" instead of "attached". The four missing letters were C, U, N, and T in that order. Can't be accused of calling him one if I never wrote those letters.
Crazy part about all of this is during quarantine we all literally saw nature bounce back and start healing just from mfs keeping they ass home, also found out we dont need to be living like this doing this extra shit working like we do, saw that and said yanno lets go back to killing the planet

Let me be explicit. The massive heat waves we're seeing around the world more extreme and frequent due to human-caused #climatechange. And these heat waves are going to continue to worsen because of our failure to reduce carbon pollution. Just one of the many costs of #climate change.
In our world of free university education, cheap housing for the young, assured starter jobs, massive strides to solve climate change, principled refusal to support inhumane wars, and a tender patient-led approach to young people's mental health, obviously social media is the problem.

Kids are on their phones too much. I don't know why they don't use the many youth clubs, public swimming pools, community clubs or sports facilities successive governments and skint local authorities have underfunded, closed or sold to property developers.
There have been a lot of counter-racism protests in the UK that demonstrate just what a vocal minority the right are. Not sure if theyโll get the same breathless news coverageโฆ

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome#MigrantsWelcome#NeighboursNotStrangers#Glasgow
"it's just a handful of them burning stuff down, a few bad eggs" "It's just a handful of brown people attacking others" "It's not the same"
You're either making an assumption that all black and brown people are terrorists and excusing white people or you're too stupid to see the double-standard.
The outrage at arrests of brawlers and arsonists at these violent "protests" goes to show that these people don't want integration of POCs, or any such facade. They want absence or subservience. To attack with impunity. Because we wouldn't be talking about "concerned citizens" if I razed a building.
Because the government has allowed political parties like Reform and Restore to be openly racist. Because the government hasn't countered the threat of far right foreign influence. Because the government hasn't banned X despite its repeated law breaks
