This is a feeble excuse. Pixar films prompt much harder conversations about death, grief, anxiety, environmental disaster, betrayal, jealousy, friendships, class, animal rights, etc, etc
In this story, there is a lot of support for trans people that you rarely see covered in the media unless they're being attacked. Businesses and individuals all standing up and saying 'I will not be a part of this' and I think that needs to be highlighted because it can feel lonely out there.
To be fair, it's not just America. I lived almost next door to a modern, C of E church with a decoration I called "jumping Jesus" as it involved him jumping off the cross.
That one at the back in the turtleneck looks so over their shit.

They have to have something to fill their 24-hour news stations. Honestly the worst thing that ever happened was running these outside of major news stories.
Just shows… Transphobia is not as popular as the fascists like to make out… news.cityoflondon.gov.uk/consultation...

"The flag acts as a warning sign – a silent message. It makes you more vigilant and also, every time you go into a house with a flag, you have to prepare emotionally for the possibility of racism or rejection," says Neomi Bennett.

Electoral Commission website with two versions of the Iron Cross UKIP logo with crossed spears beneath and the comment "Reject"
This is their second go at this. They've already had a version with 2 spears rejected in November (www.electoralcommission.org.uk/political-re...)
As my husband say - you can't buy good taste.
My life was changed when my mother-in-law got me one a few years back.
Chaz meets a drugged up lettuce
"Hello. My name is Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor. You killed my mother. Prepare to die."
Hard to read this and not feel a flare of righteous fury at the absolute cruelty that underpins the anti-trans movement.
Just diabolical to force a tiny number of girls and young women out because you've let your twitter algorithm convince you they're dangerous.

"What part of 'what you do for the least among you, you do for me' do you not understand?"
Apart from that only applies to certain cars, and how do you know if all the milege has been accumulated in the UK?
And apparently spell check is now an AI function as well. Who knew?
Please tell me that's AI. It just looks so ridiculously out of scale with all the surrounding buildings.
It's like tax - we agree someone must be inconveninced, but it should always be someone else, not us.
I can kind of understand leisure travellers frustration as big engineering is often weekends/Xmas/Easter, but I also know that the railway needs to do this work.
I don't remember doing anything about the slave trade at school - other than possibly something about William Wilberforce. I must have done somethig at some point as I know terms like triangular trade.
My friends just filled a locker with deodorant spray and applied a lighter to where the bar you put your padlock on came out the bottom. I think there was a bit of a flame but minimal damage.
It's Wooburn Green, not Woodburn Green
Not even the correct gates.
It's not even the gates to Royal Lodge - it's the closest gates of Windsor Great Park, but there's at least three other ways out that would avoid the cameras.
We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak".
But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.
Merlin decided that, as the humans weren't providing on time, she'd go out for takeaway. Twice.

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.
Ok. But are there any downsides?
A lot of people don't understand how pensions (or benefits) really work.
They picture a national savings account in which their 'own' taxes are stored until they retire.
Not that they were paying for the person before them, and now someone else is doing it for them, so inflation doesn't screw them
You'd hope not, but I know of at least one, possibly a few more, people at church who watch it.
