Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

the problem with genetically modified crops is not so much the genetic modification but the patenting of genetic codes (and crops in general) as a tool of maintaining agricultural imperialism, and for this reason I can't talk to most people about GMOs

I'm coming to realize how vital it is to keep a running list of shit you did in the past few weeks so that you can participate in small talk. It's literally not anything to do with them being interesting at all it's just having Something to say to give people even the barest thing to hold on to. It's so you don't get into the "what have you been up to" "nothing much what about you" "yeah same" trap. Literally just say something.

What have you been up to? Um well it's getting warmer so I've been having to brush my cat every day.

Like no it's not that interesting of a thing to say. But now they can respond to it. They could say, man yeah it really is heating up, I've been trying to think of things to do inside more often. Or, oh you have a cat? What's their name?

Like. It's Something. All you need is Something. And if you're like me and your brain immediately goes blank upon entering small talk then keeping a list will help you remember things to say.

I love characters who would die for each other but will not, under any circumstances, communicate a single honest feeling.

does everyone who "stands with" jk rowling not know that she'd throw you under the bus to further her own agenda? she hates women and just wants to control people, specifically women, she's been doing a great job of controlling women, look at how many she's made into spiteful bigots who've lost friends and family because of their "beliefs". she's isolated you by pretending she would be your friend, she wouldn't be your friend unless you were filthy rich. you're too poor for her. you're a poor loner with no friends, and she made you like that.

all your rambling about how women are always going to be victimised by men and you can't see that a woman is the one who's hurt you the most.

if you've ever wondered why posts by terfs seem to have so many notes? it's because they've got networks of bots to spam reblog any posts with certain tags

here's the tags on this post 👇 and the spam reblogs from terf bots. they artificially boost their posts to make it look like hating trans people is popular, they're pathetic.

[infectiouspiss]

wanna see some more bots? this time they're reblogging from one specific blog instead. terfs always use bots to boost their numbers so it looks like their ridiculous opinions are common.

[loki-zen]

they looked into it one time and the vast majority of UK terf activity on twitter was coming from like a really quite small number of users all with multiple accounts

Personally? I would never deny Hiromu Arakawa her right to a short bratty braided blond character in a kickass red coat

[phantomrose96]

Invent a look this iconic and I think you should get to use it in every series.
