Well uh Happy Pride

whenever i invest myself into irl trans community, it is restorative & invigorating. thankful to have spent this weekend camping with other trans folx. it is wonderful to simply exist as i am with fellow travelers along the many intersectional roads of gender.

I gotta break format and say the Are You Afraid Of The Dark episode The Tale Of Station 109.1

If anyone is active duty and deployed to CENTCOM and worried about what's going on or has news about what's up, please talk to me or @marisakabas.bsky.social

In times like these, I hope my perspective can help, as a recovering addict who went through jails, institutions, and homelessness. That is to say, sometimes all evidence points to the end of everything, that you’re totally fucked, but it turns around if you can keep fighting. So keep fighting.

God, we don't even have nu metal to save us this time around.

Ok hold on what’s the weight limit for carry-on luggage for the rapture? I might have to move some items to my check bag.

I think a thing that bothers me is that when someone criticizes the trans movement for say not being willing to listen to opposing viewpoints I think it's important to be clear as to what those viewpoints are and what compromising on said viewpoints would entail.

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

I believe in times like this we’re clear to freely swap SNES roms out in the open

WE CAN MAKE THE INTERNET FUN AGAIN THAT IS WITHIN OUR POWER MAKE A WEBSITE PUT ALL YOUR DUMB SHIT ON IT SHARE IT

I don't know if I love Get Your War On being relevant again. That's not a thing I'm loving

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

A thing people don't remember about 2003 is that "they have WMDs" was the pitch to *high-info* voters. The pitch to low-info voters was "the dastardly muslims attacked us on 9/11 and we have to hit them back by deposing the muslim king saddam hussein who attacked us"

Trump has no idea what he’s unleashed: this is going to result in the strongest worded letter the Democrats have ever written.

yes i am sure

lol

crashing the economy and starting a war in the Middle East Donald Trump has finally become a conventional Republican after all

I am handling all this by myself as I did with my mommy. If you can donate and share that’d be greatly appreciated. I’m looking to get him from the morgue as quickly as possible. Where he was found is not who he was. I was told he was badly decomposing when they found his body. I’m enraged.

I need help. If youve ever told me to just ask, Im asking now. I dont have the memory, energy, or time to ask folks individually. If you've ever offered and still have help to give, we need it. Funds, skills, abilities - if you think can help us with something you do or can do, please contact me.

Somehow, this post reminds me of Tom Waits' song, "The Piano Has Been Drinking."

at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans

Resharing this clip in light of news today. Netanyahu has been trying to initiate a first strike against Iran for decades on the presumption that he could successfully drag the US into a war with Iran. And because Trump is a 10 IQ baby-brained impotent man-child, he walked right into it.

Vietna-oh wait

if you see this, please quote with the energy you bring to bluesky

the best posters riff just fine on their own stay out of those replies

Historically successful civil rights movements whose gains are also increasingly coming under fire in the US because the reactionary wing is going full scorched-earth. We've seen this with MeToo 'going too far', or even 'CRT gone wild'. Stop legitimizing right-wing framing as normal politics.

As someone who went to grad school specifically to read Victorian novels, reading this has now frozen my face into Munch’s The Scream

Wellness is the degraded Calvinism that says you are one of the elect who will be spared the coming inferno if you demonstrate adequate virtue (low enough bmi).

this is such an important point. i do not think that the typical american understands that for most of their lives, someone like james madison or george washington or thomas jefferson was *surrounded* by black people.

“You would never know, as The New York Times churns out its usual policy-option thumb-suckers, that the United States is well down the road to dictatorship at home. That is the context in which a war with Iran will occur.”

The Christian nationalist right manufactured the evidence for their campaign of transphobia and there was even a smoking gun memo. How much more do Dems need served up to them on a silver platter? genderanalysis.net/2023/05/the-...
