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.

Dear Bluesky Randos ~ Please stop dive-bombing my mentions to lecture me about my sexuality being regressive or insufficiently subversive or too pro-male or whatever. I don’t care. Shut uppppp

Sometimes you say you're okay but you're not really okay

Starting a new workout plan today, 9 day upper/lower split, trying to squeeze in a little bit more volume on some neglected muscle groups.

Told my Dad this and he said "Geez what are ya knocked up? How far did you get with everything when I wasn't looking, good for you honey." That was my DAD. wtf Im fucking dead 💀

This is NOT a joke

For your consideration this pride month.

Lots of questions about Kobo, #kobowritinglife and how, when and why we are using AI. Putting "AI" in the same sentence as "authors", "books" or "publishers" makes a lot of alarm bells go off, and for good reason. 1/

Bonus trivia, that man, François Clemmons, is also a proud gay man. If they knew that back then, the show would've been cancelled.

The other day I mentioned to Sarah that I'd been getting lots of DJing videos on tiktok and she didn't immediately shoot down the idea of me learning to DJ which is SUPER dangerous because I do not need another expensive hobby...

For your consideration this pride month.

You're legally obligated to reskeet if you think trans women are beautiful

TERFs: Trans are always thinking about sex and invading women’s spaces Me [thinking]: Yo, listen up, here’s a story About a little guy that lives in a blue world And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue, like him, inside and outside Blue his house with a blue little window…

I want to buy some cute summer outfits but everywhere I look fashion seems to be taking this wild shift to more conservative styles and I am just NOT here for it.

The fact that they call it DEI when it is EDI in the UK shows you how brainwormed these rightwing fucks are.

Ranked Competitive Breast Growth, Bhatt and Monke, 2025:

When it comes to homophobes and transphobia, ironically, my position is "love the sinner, hate the sin" because once you hate the person that becomes one more person you can't reach out across the aisle to, start a dialogue with, and lure into the gay-o-tron homoconversion pridestation.

petition to replace gay pride month with gay lust month

Asking for more gruel is why you’re poor and downtrodden actually its all your fault urchin

Like what was the point of the scene in the early season where Ellie and Jesse are sparring and it shows Ellie is capable of taking on someone a lot bigger than her?

Glad I'm not the only one who disliked the second season of The Last of Us and in particular felt like they really fucked up with Ellie. (Some spoilers here for game and show alike including the season finale.)

If Pedro Pascal had said this to me I would've taken up drinking and smoking again on the spot

That was LOUD

this is the definition of slut whimsy summer 🌞🍆💦🪩👙🌊

Happy 🌈

Hey, so, The Potent Solution is available to purchase on Itch now, which means you could pay the usual $5.99 for the eBook OR you pay a little extra and I can continue to buy more nice things... spectrumbooks.itch.io/the-potent-s...

Here's an entire giant list of trans books that you should buy at full price during Pride Month. More than that, if the option to tip the authors exists, you should give them more.

🌈 Happy PRIDE! 🌈 Enjoy this thread of starter packs featuring hundreds of talented queer creatives! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ 🔁 RT & Follow! 🔁 #Pride #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #IndieDev #VoiceActor #Art #VisualNovel #TTRPG 🧵 (1/9)

If The Fellowship of the Ring happened today, Elrond would probably tell everyone but Aragorn, Frodo and Legolas to go home because they don't have the funding to support so many non-teaching staff.

happy pride month, it is now ILLEGAL to be cishet 🙅‍♀️

Clair Obscur is fun enough, but every time I play one of these games clearly inspired by the early translated Final Fantasies/Chrono Trigger, all I can think is, where are the freaks? An RPG party used to be a vampire with a prosthetic hand, a robot with a cat on its head, a genderless swamp cook

Pls respect Pls... Pls respect

me in 2010, gazing longingly at shape-hugging ultra-femme outfits & high fashion makeup: "I'll never be this hot" me last year in a ratty tank top, sweaty side-shave in my face, big quads and glutes buzzing from a 5-hour run, sunburned and bloody from a fall on the trail: "I've never been hotter"

Don't you think it's a little bit... odd, JK Rowling, for you to be talking about my "anal leakage" and "wetting myself"? I mean, surely even you can see this is strange?

spaghettification will fix my joints

Amazing to see the Cosmere RPG at the LongPack Games stand at UK Games Expo! A shrink wrapped display only, so no spoilers 😉 still, its always feels so great to hold something I've worked on in print.

Eventually I'll learn how to pose without making stupid faces...

No I'm not going to read a fucking article about a trans biopic that quotes a transphobic bigot, thank you very much.
