Allgemeines Update #Serbien: Gestern Abend wurde zum ersten Mal seit 25 Jahren Dnevnik 3 (eine Nachrichtensendung beim RTS) nicht ausgestrahlt und das Morgenprogramm wurde um zwei Stunden gekürzt. Der Polizei ist es heute Morgen gelungen, RTS-Mitarbeiter*innen ins Gebäude zu bringen. Hier wird „Verrat!“ skandiert. (Kontext: d-64.social/@dejan/11434159319…)

So, according to the Supreme Court, a trans woman is a woman, except when she isn’t. 🤦‍♂️
Clear as mud, and not going to give rise to confusion, at all. Especially as the ruling seems to apply to trans men too, who apparently are still women sometimes.

Biological seems to be the determination - something that surgical mechanics & hormone therapy seem unable to reverse.

News and Views


We think we know
horror, from sanitised
reports, showing
media images,
that editors,
afraid of shadows, turn
to lies, thinking
these too bland to upset.

We see the tears
of bereft children, maimed
even dying;
or parents fleeing graves
of their own flesh;
hints of torture, neglect;
never too raw.
We dare to think we know.

So arrogant.
Those who are there see, feel
horror, and stay
silent, in their shocked grief.
And those who see,
uncensored, anguished scenes,
know enough to
say nothing, bear the pain.

It is no badge
of honour, but a curse,
to know enough
to have to search your heart,
seek a place, not
inured to cruelty.
Ignorance, based
in misleading half-truths.
I will not wear
my darkness so proudly.

#EightYearsAgoToday #AreWeGreatYet

April 16, 2017 – In response to marches around the nation demanding Donald Trump release his tax returns, Trump tweeted, “Someone should look into who paid for the small organized rallies yesterday. The election is over!”

No evidence exists to suggest that protesters were paid to march.

Trump hasn't the willing ego, or mental capacity, to imagine EVERYBODY (except his mom) HATES HIM! I'm not sure about his mom..
