important to state for the record that the British Supreme Court are idiots

they sound very scary when you describe them as The Supreme Court but remember, these are five dusty old cishets, one of whom is a weirdo who used to write homophobic documents for the Church of Scotland. I've seen so much commentary, even from pro-trans british journalists, about how the ruling is "forensic" and "balanced" and "rational" - no it isn't, it's clearly the work of people who don't know what they're talking about. You know how I know? They accidentally defined all bi women as lesbians. They said that the legal test for a lesbian is being an AFAB person attracted to another AFAB person, and at no point did anyone go, "Hang on a second, what about bi people?" Congratulations to terfs I guess, you were so excited to get rid of the T you got rid of the B!

This ruling is exactly what you'd expect from locking five old straight people in a room and asking them to set rules for queer life without speaking to any queer people. Their judgement is silly legal word games and it has no relation to real people's actual lives - if you wanna use lawyerspeak they've "undermined public confidence in the legal system." It's not even "the emperor has no clothes," it's "the emperor is naked and covered in shit."

i can kinda understand that politicians need to make a show of respect in their tone, like okay, probably a good thing that politicians don't get into the habit of publicly undermining judges. But any journalist who treats this ruling as remotely sensible is daft - only a straight person could make that kind of mistake

These judges are idiots - I use the word in the classical greek sense of someone who is not connected to and does not understand the life of the public, of the people. Their judgement is laughable and we don't have to respect them

Harry Potter is fucking unsalvageable at this point and it doesn't matter how much you seperate yourself from the artist/author when the author's bigotry and transmisogyny heavily overshadows anything in that mediocre book.

at this point it signifies that you are complicit in the genocide of trans people, especially trans women and that you don't care that Rowling is profiting off of HP while pushing for the removal of our existence.

love our trans sisters, especially trans sisters of color, more than this fuck ass book.

Oh I’m an asshole.

So today pulling into Stop and Shop, this lady cut me off and nearly drove into me, and then, when I tried to pass her, she swung to the right and nearly hit me again, and then flipped me off.

So somebody is having a bad day and taking it out on me. That’s fine. It’s harmless, and I don’t know what’s going on in this woman’s life. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt she’s not just a piece of shit and is just having a bad day.

But then I park and she follows me, and gets out of the car and starts swearing at me and getting in my face.

Now I go from “indifferent” to “I’m gonna fuck with this woman’s head.” Now I would say I’m a gentleman of size, and in all black and bemohawked I probably look spookier than I actually am, so props to this lady for getting in my face. Now of course I’m not going to hit her, or even threaten violence. That’s shitty. Nobody should get threatened with violence.

Instead, I take a step back, narrowing my eyes like I’m studying her face really closely, and then I touch one of the several piece of “occulty” jewelry I’m wearing (none of which, by the way, are magicked in any way at all). Then I mumble some nonsense under my breath, and then make the fig gesture and the horns at her.

She stops, wide-eyed.

“WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO TO ME?”

I chuckled, and shake my head. “Nothing at all.” I say in a not-terrible convincing voice. “But every time something bad happens to you today, you’re gonna be thinking of me.”

Then I winked at her, and walked away.

I'm not anti-AI because all art needs to have a soul or whatever. I'm anti AI because it's making my clinicians dependent on the internet in a place that loses power often. I'm anti AI because I've seen it miss things a technician would have caught on microscopy. I'm anti-AI because it's killed my patients.

Medical AI software companies are rolling things out too quickly and making promises they can't keep. We're buying into it because capitalism is demanding everyone work faster on more patients but refuses to provide more staff or more support.

If it's bad enough that I'm seeing it in veterinary medicine, I'm terrified about what that means for patient care in humans.

before you stab someone: THINK!

how can you make it Tender?

how can you make it Homoerotic?

how can you make it Implicitly intimate?

how can you make it Noticeably a metaphor for sex?

how can you make it Kind of gay?

A fucking womb transplant, what an incredible thing. Fair play to all involved. A positive news story amidst all the dire shite.

One of my favorite things about white collar is actually mozzie’s relationship with the fbi

Like. Neal being friends with people at the fbi is a fun dynamic cause yeah he’s a criminal and he’s smug about it but he’s also really helpful and they’re a little family and they banter and it’s all great

But mozzie is just straight up. a criminal. They’ve never arrested him or anything but like. And he’s an insane conspiracy theorist and thinks all kinds of weird stuff especially about the government. But he’s Neal’s bestie and he lowkey helps even though he hates the feds so they just kinda keep him around but not really. Like he’s just there.

Mozzie is the real “confidential informant,” Neal is basically an imprisoned fbi agent with a criminal history. Mozzie is the one with connections who ends up helping them despite hating the government. It’s just so funny

This post was prompted by rewatching that episode with Gordon Taylor in season three, when they pull up the picture of Taylor and his crew and mozzie is in it and the whole New York white collar division just goes “oh come on, mozzie?” “Guys that’s mozzie” “oh shut up no way” “you have to be kidding me” and Peter is like “yes, yes, it’s mozzie” like his name just exists in the fbi and he’s as chill about it as he is with anything he’s paranoid about which is everything

Like they see a picture of a criminal crew, they recognize one of the criminals, and their first reaction isn’t to immediately start looking into what they know about the guy but just to groan like a family member just said a lame joke
