It's just a spark, but it's enough..

One thing I have not seen mentioned in light of this statement, perhaps because it's just well known or perhaps because it's been forgotten, is that Radcliffe has dealt with this before. About 10 years ago his friendship with a trans musician named Our Lady J became known to the tabloids. They immediately published sensational articles calling her a transvestite and a drag queen (she was not), and speculating about the nature of their relationship. He responded to insinuating questions by simply being aggressively positive about what a great musician and good friend she was. They did at least one interview together for a queer magazine. This at a time when trans people were even more marginalized than now, and when he as an actor was finishing Harry Potter and under a lot of pressure to ~manage his image~ as he transitioned to an adult career.

Respectfully, Ireland is the best country on the planet

Or a very inspiring way for a popular Black British actress many people look up to to reveal she cut off all her damaged, processed, hair (the part many of us fear the most) and decided to start her natural hair journey, at the age of 40 (yes y'all she's 42. I don't see it either).

This is such an important and genuinely terrifying post. I could completely go off on the rise of anti-science, but for now I’ll just add: it isn’t just boomers that get deceived. This is a warning to all of us.

my biology professor has such a chaotic energy about him, last week i went to his office hours and somehow we ended up on the topic of gay marriage:

this is like how Sweden stopped classifying homosexuality as an illness because people started a campaign of calling in gay to work
