BREAKING: local trans woman demands medical transition from major alt-right media figures "for shits and giggles"
opinions on drugs, longpost
while psychedelics are useful for spiritual development part of the experience SHOULD be enjoyment and folks who want to should absolutely be able to use them for the novelty of "hehe wall go melt" (and in fact focusing on the spiritual potential of psychedelics and not allowing yourself to have fun can take away from a lot of really high quality spiritual development! let yourself enjoy things)
mdma is probably more dangerous than regular users realize
weed is literally safer and more effective than tylenol, which we give to children (not advocating giving weed to kids just putting its schedule 1 classification into context)
and marijuana is as much a gateway drug into heroin (or really anything except a fondness for cats and an unhealthy amount of cheetos) as the Controlled Substances Act of 1972 was a gateway piece of legislation into good drug policy; i.e. not a damn bit.

BBC, transmisia, negative
So, a couple weeks back, the BBC's LBGT+ support page quietly dropped three trans-specific helplines:
At the time, the reason was unknown even to the corporation's internal Pride Network.
Now, we hear the reason has been officially given - confirmation that they were 'dropped due to “audience complaints” relating to the “increasingly contested issues relating to trans issues and children”'.
Fuck that with a rusty chainsaw. Removal of those support lines gives clear support to those who *don't need those helplines*, and unambiguously aligned management against trans people. It's not coincidental that with the ramping up of TERFs in the press has come a sharp rise in harassment and violent attacks against trans people; either the BBC supports that, or they oppose it.
Their complaints page:

pol, the us president back on his bullshit
the concept of the american dream is inherently racist and classist. it's all about escaping the problems caused by capitalism (poverty, crime, etc.) and of course the spectre of "crime" that all these middle-class families are trying to escape is so racially coded you could write a book about it (and i'm sure several people have). the promise of upward mobility is only for white folks.this applies doubly to gated communities, which are just shitty fortresses for paranoid racists.
and our dear leader is promising to remove the troubling shadow of scaaaaaaaaaaaary low-income housing from these white-flight suburbs. it's two steps from declaring it straight-up illegal to be poor.
