Even if you take 'Israel have the right to defend themselves' as gospel, Hamas's rockets are glorified pipe bombs whereas Israel has a 72.9 billion NIS (22 billion dollars or 15.8 billion pounds) defense budget that goes to buying the best military equipment and munitions that the Western Powers can offer.

It's the equivalent of charging a crowd with Cavalry because someone threw rocks. But on a much larger, even more horrific scale.

"Lazy" is just a derogatory term applied to people whose priorities are different from the one calling people lazy.

"Laziness" is a reclamation of one's time and one's life in a system that tells you that you're worth nothing if you're not constantly productive in the way that is beneficial to capitalists.

in a different, less adversarial light...

sometimes the best thing you can do is to back off. reconsider what you're doing, stop trying to throw yourself at a bad situation. try something else.

random abstract thought...

don't underestimate the tactical retreat.

wars have changed in the favor of those retreating before, because the side advancing overextends themselves or is baited into disadvantage.

Really excellent video by Ok2BeFat about the harms of medicalization, particularly transmedicalism, medicalization of fatness, and gatekeeping

another day, another white leftist complaining that feeding the community and abolishing the prison industrial complex isn't revolutionary enough and therefore must wait on the backburner until we achieve totally idyllic utopia

funny how only the things that impact BIPOC the hardest, esp Black people, have to always be on the back burner

People with ADHD see time differently. For many of us, upcoming events and tasks don't feel real unless they're within the next week, or two.

Then, once they're over, events and task combine into a puddle of "a couple days ago" before completely disappearing from memory

Amongst the news about the medical director for THT potentially playing a part in the scrapping of the planned GRA reforms there has also been a teeny bit of good news today

NI High Court found that the requirement to provide a gender dysphoria diagnosis under the GRA is unlawful and contravenes the ECHR and so there need to be a review of this requirement.
However, the same court also ruled that the provision of medical reports is "proportionate" to the aims of the GRA.

Realistically, I don't think this would actually change anything significantly without having to throw ourselves at ANOTHER mass movement for reform - since we'd likely still be beholden to the GIC system in the provision of those reports, so it would just amount to one less piece of paper.

But that said, it's a tiny step in the right direction. We're not being consistently thrown out, and there is hope of change through small baby steps and challenges like this.
