The fact that Imane Khelif was identified at birth as female, raised female and was physiologically understood to be female right up until someone DNA tested her 2 years ago proves that the entire concept of biological sex is a moving goal post based on what authorities want to change it to.

When @bradtakei.bsky.social and I first got together, we never imagined we’d one day celebrate Pride openly, let alone post about it on the internet. But here we are, joy and all. Happy Pride, everyone! Let’s keep showing up, speaking out, and marching forward (glitter optional, but encouraged). 🌈✨

I have some important advice for any of my younger followers about to enter the job market for the first time, hard-won advice that has been passed down through generations of email jockeys who just want to get through the day without too much hassle: the CEO must never know your name

Nothing going on is that hard to understand as long as someone with some credibility has the desire to explain it and the space to do so and I’m glad this NBC station did this for their viewers

Selling off national parks to private corporations is theft — of land, ecosystems, and public trust. Once they’re sold, they’re stripped, drilled, mined, and wrecked. And most of that damage can’t be undone.

Etymology fact! "Womb" comes from the Middle English word, "wombe", meaning stomach, specifically for the digestion stomach. This is, we hope we don't need to tell you, in a different place to the uterus, and the opposite of what a uterus does.

Regarding the claims that "white boys are falling behind in school", has anyone checked if this has real impacts on their quality of life or whether this perhaps reflects a lack of incentive to make any effort when they are going to grow up to get the plush jobs anyway?

My home of Missoula just voted to establish the pride flag as an official government flag of the city, thereby circumventing the state's asinine pride flag ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Missoula is once again showing how to fight back against policies that seek to erase the LGBTQ community.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Thanks to the new Android update, pulling down now either gives me system options OR my notifications, and I'm not sure how it chooses which but it seems to just be the one I don't want. Lock screen still displays my audio pause button, but it is now very small and hard to press. Why???

I like how The Expanse vibes with Who Goes There? - Aside from the obvious body horror of self becoming other, the sense of catastrophic doom that might have occurred if the Bad Thing had struck just a wee bit to the left, only to then be "fixed" through human curiosity...

As others are no doubt pointing out, the most infuriating and insulting thing about it is "I thought it was AI, it's a style it could do" is because it's a PLAGIARISM MACHINE and it STOLE the style of real working artists who have been developing their skills and signature look for YEARS >:(

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?

To quote @nnedi.bsky.social's post on the subject, Africanfuturism will tend to naturally have mystical elements. Most African SF includes/respects the mystical. And yet here I am, still seeing (multiple) reviews of Africanfuturist stories in 2025 by prolific critics, complaining about mysticism?

Here is my personal philosophy, based on several decades of watching publishers go under: the moment a publisher is late on money because they don't have it, they are the enemy and your goal is to get your rights back.

Meanwhile, baristas are still struggling to pay our bills or get shifts properly staffed to keep up with customer demand. And our CEO still commutes to work from California to Seattle via private jet for some reason.

Huge opportunity for a political party that believes government can do good things. Public opinion is finally shifting after 50 years of right wing anti-government propaganda. This isn't the time for cowering and throat clearing www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/p...

Not going to quote post but when you see these people saying "no one voted to deport moms" what they're really saying is "I didn't vote to deport this one mom that I know!" It is this enormous failure of empathy, that people like immigrants they know but don't generalize that, while at the same time

While we’re on founding fathers, I think people actually underrate the Gothic horror of Jefferson and Sally Hemings. She was his slave, she was also his dead wife’s much younger half sister as a result of Jefferson’s father in law raping his slave.

Getting rid of stigmatising 'feminine hygiene' language around periods benefits cis women. But there's a chance it could benefit some trans people too, so now it's Bad and must ve opposed.

Always strange to me that Democrats assume that moving Right gains them voters but doesn't lose them any. Especially under current conditions.

the big disconnect that happens here is between the correct message for D politicians (especially in red states), which is “you’re right, this isn’t who you are, you’re better than that, vote differently next time” and the actual truth, which is yes you did, fuck you

This story is wild. Sacramento PD went to the hospital after she was T-boned and interviewed her for hours and concluded she was drunk and tried to charge her even though nothing was in her system and doctors said she was behaving normally. 😮😮😮😮

It's a disgrace for a publisher to declare bankruptcy, and relaunch with the serial numbers filed off, avoiding royalty payments. Yes, I'm talking about Unbound/Boundless. "If my business survives, I will pay you" is not a valid business model. Writers create the inventory. We're direct costs.

The story of Alma Bowman, a disabled woman and US citizen detained by ICE, keeps getting worse She’s been in the country for 50 years. They took her wheelchair, denied her medications & threw her in a detention facility in Georgia Did you know she was a whistle blower against forced sterilization?

The Unbound fuck-up is specifically awful, but generic. The creators of “content” being the last people to get paid, while the people who own the pipe do fine. It’s the new normal. It’s Spotify’s CEO taking home millions. It’s AI stealing our work. It’s that. Again. Which is exhausting.
