We’re in the new year and Palestinians are still being slaughtered by the IOF and “Israel” as if they’re not even human. It’s estimated that around 30,000 Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip have been martyred, and this number is only going to grow exponentially now. Now that it’s been over 80 days since the genocide began, starvation, dehydration and sickness from a lack of resources, lack of hygiene and cramped living conditions have become a real issue alongside the constant bombing and attacking from “Israel”.

It’s time for a ceasefire.

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

The Pope spoke out against “Israel” recently and called them terrorists. If the goddamn Pope of all people can recognise that the “Israeli” government and IOF are terrorists, why can’t our politicians? Or anyone else, for that matter. Why can’t people realise that this isn’t self defence, this is just genocide, an ethic cleansing to “Israel” can have more land, so they don’t have to ‘deal’ with the Palestinians anymore. So they don’t have to worry about giving Palestinians their own land back.

[Video Transcript:

Miriam Margolyes on The Graham Norton Show.

Miriam: "You know this thing about trans? Now all these people will always say 'we mustn't talk about trans', well fuck that. I'm gonna talk about it." (Audience laughter)

"I was very keen on grammar and so when people started talking about pronouns and that they wanted to use 'them' and not 'he/she', I thought 'what the fuck are you talking about?' It is clear, it's grammar. It's the structure of language.

"But I met a wonderful actress in Australia, Zoe Terakes, do you know who I mean? She's a brilliant actress and she's trans and I - she had a discussion with me about it and she said 'what does it matter to you? If you can make somebody happy by calling them 'they' instead of 'he' or 'she', why not do it?

"And I thought 'that's right.' It doesn't matter about grammar." (Applause) "if you can make someone happy and give them a sense of themselves then do it."

Boy George, sitting beside her: "Absolutely."

Miriam: "And so, I'm now somebody who uses they and all the rest of it. Whatever they want me to say, I'll say it."

I hope Rishi Sunak knows that almost the entirety of the UK disagrees with his statement that “The UK stands with [Isreal]” because we don’t. When a significant amount of your country is the victim of colonisation, why would we stand with the colonisers? When our cultures have been suppressed and been illegal, why would we stand with the people suppressing and destroying the Palestinian culture?

As a rich Tory, Rishi Sunak doesn’t understand the average British person and what we think, but after all the outrage, I think he might be forced to.

Free Palestine.

If you’ve got even a drop of empathy and love for a fellow human, you need to support Palestine. There is a genocide happening right now against all Palestinians in Israel, adult and child, sick and well, evacuating or not. The Israeli government wants all Palestinians dead and they’re not being subtle about it

HOLY SHIT WHEN ARE HOMOPHOBIC PEOPLE GOING TO REALISE BEING GAY ISN’T A LIFESTYLE THATS LIKE SAYING HAVING SIZE 20 FEET IS A LIFESTYLE. ITS DIFFERENT THAN MOST PEOPLE BUT ITS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN HAVE CONTROL OVER. ITS JUST DIFFERENT. PRETENDING TO BE STRAIGHT IS LIKE FORCING SIZE 20 FEET INTO SIZE 10 SHOES ITS PAINFUL AND NOT DOABLE BEING GAY ISN’T A CHOICE OR A LIFESTYLE

Guess who just ordered a nightlight instead of changing the lightbulb in a lamp

It’s funny seeing cis (usually white) women saying shit like “cis privilege isn’t a thing” or “where’s my cis privilege?”. First off it’s annoying to see cis white women act like they’re the most oppressed people in society, and also being trans can be a literal death sentence even in more developed countries like the UK or US. Cis women don’t have an attempted suicide rate of 40% due to society not being accepting of them. trans people do. Cis women don’t get murdered because someone was attracted to them and then found out they were “lying”. Trans women do. Cis women aren’t getting their rights taken away from them like trans people are. This is cis privilege. You have the privilege of going through life without the hardships of society not accepting you as you are and actively working to eradicate people like you. Yes, women are oppressed -women of colour especially- but being able to call yourself a women without people objecting is a privilege.

Im glad Matt Hancock didn’t win I’m A Celebrity but it’s shocking he even made it that far at all. He’s a bad fucking person. I can’t remember who but someone said they find it difficult to separate him as a person and him as a politician. There is no difference. He is both a politician and a person and in both aspect he’s bad. He’s a cunt and doesn’t deserve the respect he’ll gain from being on the show. Showing he’s more than just a politician doesn’t take away from all the shit he’s done while being a politician.

Elon is being a little bitch boy again

Terfs shouldn’t be called terfs because it stands for Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists but to be a true feminist you have to include ALL women. Trans women. Poc women. Gay women. All women. And excluding any of these types of women makes you anti feminist and a bigot. If feminists really want to change the world and make it easier for women and femme presenting people then they have to do it for ALL women and femme presenting people. You can’t pick and choose when it comes to basic human rights.

It’s been a while since the whole J.K Rowling controversy happened but a while back I was having a conversation with my auntie about it and I wasn’t out yet but I said she was transphobic because she is and my auntie said that she didn’t think Rowling was transphobic. To this is said that my transgender friends had told me that she was (it was actually me knowing she was but I was too scared to say anything) but she didn’t listen. Imagine ignoring the marginalised peoples opinions on issues that involve them. This is one small example but this happened every.single.day and it’s got to a government level where the people in power believe they know more than us on issues that directly affect us. Imagine a pigeon telling a mole how to correctly dig a hole and think about how ridiculous that is. To the government: get your shit together

As someone in the uk, I am genuinely terrified for all American uterus-havers. Stay safe. Stay educated.

To all the people who think Non binary lesbians aren’t valid: Since when were you the gay police. I can be non binary and say I’m a lesbian because I don’t like men. Who the hell are you to stop me from doing something that brings me joy and doesn’t hurt anyone else? You are hurting people like me who wouldn’t have any other label to go under apart from lesbian. Leave us alone

Who needs friends when you have balls of yarn that you bought to crochet with but now they just sit there and stare at you waiting for you to use them while you sit on your sofa and watch your teen years fly away as you scroll through this hell hole

If you guys are excluding ‘amab’ non binary’s in ‘women and non binary spaces’ (which is a whole other thing) than you are completely missing the point of non binary

Elon bought twitter because he was sad that people didn’t like him. If I was Elon I would simply not be an unethical money hungry billionaire.
