@JackTheCat It's working just as I envisaged... Europeans being able to come and go as they like and the British having to stay in a uk shaped prison. It was very easy to see coming...

@DeathPoints Mine barely survives a teams meeting let alone death.

Today in Fascist England, parliament will debate whether or not trans and NB people have the right to exist.

You may think "Oh, the tories are twats... We need to vote labour to get them out and be safe."

Well I have news for you. It's labour that are leading the charge to genocide.

@moira_robin I wish you luck, Robin. It's very difficult to have an intelligent discussion opposite someone who is absolutely insane with hate though. They always derail things.

@GreenPartyMolly

If there's a difference between Labour and Tory today, other than the tie colour, I'd love someone to evidence it for me, cos they seem to be carbon copies.

@Sim0n @GreenPartyMolly

SO basically - "tories are in power" Cos Labour will not do anything to improve it when they're in power as far as I can see.

@Sim0n @GreenPartyMolly

By Labour being Tories, implementing tory policies and treating people like dirt?

Yup.

@Sim0n @GreenPartyMolly No. I'm not telling you how to vote at all. I'm saying voting Labour won't change a thing because they have the same policies and ideology as Tory. And you know this... Because you failed, badly, to do the one thing I said in my tweet... Evidence a difference. Being in power is the only thing you could come up with.

@Sim0n @GreenPartyMolly

It isn't just BRexit. It's policing, immigration, taxes, working rights, human rights, the NHS, racism, anti LGBTQ+ sentiment, misogyny.

They're exactly the same as the tories on all of these issues and they have their fair of corruption and law breaking too, we just don't hear about it as much cos they aint in power.

You think they're gonna win power and then suddenly decide to reverse their position on the things they think won them that power?

@Sim0n @GreenPartyMolly

Sarcasm doesn't come across in toots so, given you can't point out a single difference in 24 hrs of exchanging toots I'm gonna just go ahead and assume you actually agree.

@Sim0n @GreenPartyMolly Nah, I realised you're sarcastic. There's a subtle but telling difference. 😆

@Sim0n @GreenPartyMolly Oh condescending too, yeah you fit right in with Starmer.

@Sim0n @GreenPartyMolly Condescending and sarcastic... Yet you STILL can't answer the question...

So I guess, no matter how long you have, you'll still NEVER get there!!!!

@Sim0n @GreenPartyMolly Yeah there's a word there COULD. Just like Starmer COULD have kept the promises he made when he ran for leadership.

BUT, he absolutely turned his back on them the second he won the leadership bid.

@Sim0n @GreenPartyMolly Yeah, we will. In the meantime we already know what he is saying and doing. And those things show that he is an authoritarian bigot that is looking forward to power and pocketing as much money as the tories are through backhanders and selling off the NHS.

@grayface_ghost I don't think cis people understand what is happening here already. I don't know many that understand what being trans really is, that it isn't a choice we've made.

That aint really a criticism, I barely understand it and I am it! But I don't think we can rely on anyone, even the people that love and support us the most, truly understanding. And if they don't understand then they can't know just how much pain and even death is being inflicted on us already.

@rhubi I haven't yet but I have talked to a peer support worker who has. They advised a few things.

Stay in touch with your health provider and don't worry about contacting them if you think something is wrong.

Buy ring cushions, lots and lots and lots of of thick pads. Lots more lube than you think a person (or even a group of people) could ever need and a baby changing mat (or two) for your dilations.

She really stressed the lube thing...

Today's questions...

Why was there a horse just hanging out, encouraging people, on 7th avenue? And what did Paul Simon do with it when they were hanging out?

Is there much for a horse to do on 7th avenue? Did Paul take it to a pub and tell it bad jokes? Was there somewhere close by for them to run and frolic together?

And what's hanging out with a horse got to do with boxing?

@Geri Wait... he was trying to pretend he's an intellectual? He's one of the stupidest men in Westminster and that is saying something. Intelligence in Westminster is an extremely low bar to pass...

@goatsarah @wihtlore French is weord. It's one language that was entirely, deliberatley, created by scholars rather than mixing and merging and developing into what it is, it's heavily monitored and protected by the dept of language and yet it still kinda sucks to learn.
