This might make you happy!

The Natural History Museum in London is arguably the greatest temple mankind has ever erected to the natural world.

In the central hall of the Natural History Museum, the lefthand walk is dedicated to creatures that still exist, Giraffes and Blue Marlin, while the righthand walk is dedicated to those that do not, like the great Palaeolithic trees that dwell in fossil, or the bones of mamoths.

Hung, right between the creatures that live, and those that do not, is Hope.

Hope is a young female blue whale that went on display in 1934. She was intended to represent the fragilility of life, see, the blue whale was on the verge of extinction in 1934, and Hope was intended to be a warning and a promise. She showed the power of man, and warned of a bleaker worse future, if that power was wielded friviously.

In 2015, Hope the whale was taken down for cleaning. When she was returned to her spot in 2018, she was moved 5 inches closer to the left, in celebration of the amazing success of the Blue Whale conservation effort.

Holy hell.

Look.

Can we just clarify the details on this Tortoise Media and this "Terf Podcast" thing!!!!

Please!

I have no dog in this fight, but you do realise that most of the reporting on this was done by Paul Caruana Galizia, a rather leftist man who cut his teeth, investigating the corruption in the Maltese government. The dude is a good egg. His mother was assassinated by the maltese government (she was a reporter who reported on the wrong thing.) he has numerous humanitarian awards for his subsequent reporting on the situation. However, I don't know his opinions on trans rights.... he has never stated them.

Rachel Johnson is the lead reporter of the show, and she is a terfy piece of human waste. At the same time, she isn't writing these pieces. She is just the ghoul mindlessly reading the script to haunting music as she recounts True Crime stories.

After the initial announcement a few months ago, I personally went and listened to the podcast. (I was interested if they were going to say anything that might have implicated Sir Terry Pratchett), and I was pleasantly surprised to find it far less terfy than Tumblr hyped it up to be.

It is true crime garbage, regurgitated to haunting overdramatic music by a soulless Tory Hag. It is weasly and obessed with portraying kink as a flawed spectacle practised by the deranged, but then again, these are all things it has in common with A Current Affair. Hahaha.

There isn't outright pro-terf, anti-trans propganda in their podcast. It is small minded and shitty and conservative but not explicitly anti trans.

My point isn't that Slow Newscast isn't terfy or that it is some grand edifice of newcasting.... my point is that from an outside perspective, it is a mid level semi-exploitive True Crime Spectacle reminiscent of a 100 shows on main stream tv.

Further!

The head reporter, Paul, is connected to major newspapers and has a reputation for doing thorough groundbreaking work, and it the newscaster is funded and connected to the old Money Tory backers, who have the financial support to protect Tortoise in case of a lawsuit.

It wouldn't surprise me if larger media companies unwilling to break the story initially pushed this to Tortoise Media. The UK has famously harsh defamation laws, big newspapers are increasingly reluctant to spend money on investigative reporting.

Anyway.

I don't think these women would have known that Rachel Johnson is a ghoul, she doesn't advertise it outside her social media.

Like. These women almost guaranteed didn't really go "oh, time to go on the Terf Podcast", especially since most of the inital background discussion would have been with Paul.

So..... yeah. Tortoise Media is terfy like The Project Australia is terfy, it is there, but it is not super obvious.

So help me god if I ever seen anyone so much a breathe something about Gaiman’s supposed autism or good omen’s cancellation again I am turning off your internet. This shit i why the first victims who came out only felt like they could go on a fucking radfem TERF podcast of all places. You disgusting ghouls need to keep your whining to the group chats and shut the fuck up. Fandom is progressive this fandom is activism that and it’s about david tenant getting railed more than it is helping real flesh and blood victims of SA fuck all of you

Technically true.

I think a lot about how, if the glorious violent revolution happens, every kid with significant medical needs in a hospital where power gets cut will die.

You can decide you're willing to sacrifice your own life, but you don't get to tell everybody else on the planet that they're acceptable collateral damage.
