It’s a good idea if you have the right sort of skin tone. IPL works best on people with light skin and dark hair, but it might work on other combinations as well. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work very well on dark skinned people

That’s the power of the E-4 mafia. Troops overweight? Not on paper they aren’t.

When you can always tell

I don’t want to believe this is real

You can absolutely do that. People get abused everyday

The only voice training I need to hear is how loud you can howl >:3

I’ve been trying to get off of those email lists for years. I swear every new candidate I get on a new list

This sort of thing can give so much confidence to a trans person who needs it. I needed it for a long time. I still need it. I haven’t socially transitioned yet, but I’ve taken a lot of steps to do so. I have a mental checklist of people who are going to accept me and who are not, because I’m scared of losing all my relationships. Every single relationship that I can be confident in drops my stress level. Every step that somebody can bring me into is one less step that I have to face alone. Gender transition is one of the most difficult things that people do socially. It’s not necessarily for the faint of heart, but oftentimes that’s exactly who has to do it. I struggle with being who I want to be and being confident in that basically everyday.

If there’s anybody worth ridiculing and making fun of, it’s definitely the fascists

I’m going to be honest, this isn’t something I really care too much about. Failure to restrict something isn’t the same thing as endorsing that same thing. Although the article does have two separate messages between the one about a transphobic journalist and the second part about a faux decentralized service. As far as I’m concerned, Mastodon is the best ideologically and Blue sky comes in second place followed by threads and Twitter in a very distant third place. I’m not going to be on any of those platforms except for Mastodon and maybe Blue sky for some things

Definitely a bushism

6-3 will be on the grave stone for our country

Didn’t realize that this case was still ongoing, though they might have to just wait it it out for 4 years before they can and prosecute again. Not sure where the legal landscape’s going to be then though

There’s going to be an incredible amount of transphobia because they can do it. The right is currently obsessed with transgender people committing violence even though it doesn’t happen anywhere near the rates of their cisgender counterparts.

Anyway, trans people had nothing to do with this but the right wing is still trying to blame it on them because they can

‘Associate’ is certainly one of the words. Though I’m pretty sure that he would want to stay as far away from us as he could.

They have a lot of bias against migrants and trans people. They have this both-sides-ism where they give opposing sides equal validity even when one is quite loony. The result? Incredible surges in transphobic politics and TERFism and xenophobic rhetoric and the rise of the far right under Nigel Farage. Sometimes foreign news tends to be of a better quality than domestic, but they are plagued with the same issues as other news sources. Funding cuts are something else they deal with as despite their slow move to a nationalist perspective, the Government still questions their purpose, and so they often try to appease those groups.

There’s a lot to criticize about the BBC

You think that it’s a foreign influence operation or just the same dude?

Gosh. I thought this was the onion for a second

They want to get rid of the kids, but they have to be ripe first. That’s why they’re banning abortions too. Make Child Mortality great again

How long until the government strikes?
