Some helpful directional graffiti in Shrewsbury yesterday.
Cis or trans, if you have not yet written to your MP about the Supreme Court ruling please do so as soon as possible. Marches are one thing but MPs getting lots of emails from their constituents and having to answer awkward questions will have an even greater impact.
"When they dig up your bones they'll know you're a man"
"No they wont, but when they dig up your bones they'll know you were a TERF by how piss-soaked they are."
ukpol trans
so the entire legal/political situation in the uk is going to go forwards with the position that sex is binary and trans people are not their sex,
except in the moments where a trans person is actually being talked to, at which point theyll be told thats absolutely not the case and they're making that up.
Absolutely terrible decision by the UK Supreme Court, just harmful dogshit.
For Women Scotland don't speak 'for women' - just the tiny percentage of bigots who want to have a good look inside your knickers before you go for a piss. The ruling will harm them as well, but they're too thick to realise.
There is no fair/caring/equitable world in which women have to prove our 'biological sex' before we access toilets (or other services). No fair world with gender police. Fuck all the way off.
today I learned: the Welsh Government solved the problem of GPs complaining about trans healthcare costing them money by just paying them for every trans patient they care for, lol
Radical chat about the necropolitics of AI + great ambient, dub & techno tracks. Big thanks to Philip Di Salvo for hosting our conversation on Radio Raheem. https://www.radioraheem.it/overnight/overnight-77-the-necropolitics-of-ai/
You, a pessimist: publish or perish
Me, an optimist: publish AND perish π

a poem for my wife (possibly a little rough)
we're bound together by conduits
some excited electrons and photons
i still share their state
over half a decade of packets
ephemeral snapshots of who we've become
encoded by grainy webcams
the future promises a change to routine
until then we'll stay comfortable
in our monitors' warm glow
Having your own website is not going to fix democracy, or topple the online pillars of capitalism - but it's making a political statement nonetheless. It says "I want to carve my own space on the web, away from the corporations". I think this is a radical act. It was when I originally said this in 2022, and I mean it even more today.
