I’ve spent a lot of time today doubting myself. Who I am, what I do, even my art. All because the casual drive-by transphobia I experienced at Sainsbury’s (why is it always fucking Sainsbury’s?) earlier today.
I learned some lessons.
- Never go into Sainsbury’s.
- Ignore stupid flag shagging trash.
- I may not be a famous artist, or even a great artist, but people like my work, and I enjoy making it, so do more.
- South Bristol is full of idiots.
a US court has claimed that it's a person's free speech rights to misgender trans people, and to use the wrong pronouns for people.

A divided federal court in Cincinnati has ruled that Ohio’s fourth largest school district cannot enforce policies urging students to use gender pronouns their peers prefer to be called. The Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that the district cannot prohibit students from using gender-related language deemed offensive. The court says enforcing such policies would violate the free speech rights of classmates who believe there are only two genders. Parents Defending Education filed a lawsuit in 2023 against the suburban Olentangy Local School District near Columbus. The district argued its gender pronoun policies were aimed at preventing bullying and discrimination.
there's a state of being that some term #suicidality . wikipedia says
Suicidal ideation, or suicidal thoughts, is the thought process of having ideas or ruminations about the possibility of dying by #suicide. It is not a diagnosis but is a symptom of some mental disorders, use of certain psychoactive drugs, and can also occur in response to adverse life circumstances without the presence of a mental disorder. On suicide risk scales, the range of suicidal ideation varies from fleeting thoughts to detailed planningi know this personally, but tbh there was only one time i might have actually proceeded, ~15 years ago.As if LGBTQ rights couldn't get any worse in Uganda. This is an absolute disgrace. The UN has to be interviening with this. A total attack on human rights, shouldn't be tolerated. LGBTQ rights are human rights, end of.

Bringing attention to the often harmful practices of our mainstream media. Thankfully the days of vile hostility against gay people are now more or less over, but, reading today’s newspapers, there’s a peculiar feeling of Deja Vu. The rhetoric is still there, but the target has changed.
