I feel like most of my followers know this but because I see a lot of cis folks who have a specific blind spot for it: This includes the theme park. I don't care if you want Butterbeer or want to get a wand or are already there so why not just walk in. It's all Her. Everything with the name is Her.

Holy shit - Gavin Newsom has clarified that this goes even further. The transgender runner will compete "in her own category." California is basically instituting a sports ban. www.kcra.com/article/cali...

This still won't appease Trump, because as long as someone is even recognized as being trans he'll move the goalposts and insist on punishing California. That's what he was always going to do in the first place. This is just Newsom capitulating for capitulation's sake. Fucking clown.

1. Terrifying news for transgender people across the United States. In a late night development, the House Spending Bill was amended to ban transgender coverage for transgender ADULTS on medicaid! A manager's amendment removed the words "for minors." Subscribe to support my journalism.

Every single legislator who votes for this is a fucking murderer.

In case you wanted to see what this was like, here's a FOX News segment on it. If you want to know how bad it was, Jack Thompson, the lawyer who got disbarred after years of attacking video games violence, criticized this segment and defended Mass Effect against it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHV6...

On Mass Effect, our love scenes -- soft-lit gentle scenes players got after getting to know their love interest for two-thirds of the game -- got called "virtual orgasmic rape" by Fox News. Nothing is respectable enough. They aren't attacking porn. They're attacking intimacy and openness.

I know it’s been awhile, but I do have new video up on patreon, early and ad free for members. It’s on Columbo, and I hope you enjoy it. patreon.com/pushinguproses

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

NEW: The Cass Review into UK trans healthcare is 'deeply flawed', containing biased research, outdated data, and manipulated evidence, an international team of experts has said Read more on this story: www.thenational.scot/news/2516682...

Now a good time for EA to unionize and collectively bargain for a contract that includes remote work policies that can't be revoked whenever a random failing executive needs to pretend they're doing something.

Folks call your Senators now!! A ban on any state laws on GenAi for 10 YEARS is gonna do unthinkable harm! For those of you wondering what to say here are two posts you can use to build your own script (use alt script to cut and paste) Need to find your representatives? Here you go: 5calls.org

NEW VIDEO ESSAY Today we're looking at Pop Quiz Hotshot, Channel Awesome's failed attempt to create a game show after raising $90,000 on Indiegogo. I watched this so you didn't have to. youtu.be/xA-w2aWeOgU

This kid runs circles around the reporter

1. The Supreme Court has allowed a military ban that calls transgender people inherently "dishonorable" to go into effect. This is a devastating ruling that opens the door for much worse. I detail what this means for trans servicemembers in my latest. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Hello. Here is new video. Thank. youtu.be/g3wEsk-Zrdw

I'll bang this drum til I die.

“Officers reportedly ordered performers and all 133 patrons to wait outside while they conducted what they called a ‘compliance check.’ “ Everything old is new again. History repeats itself. Etc.

This is so, so bleak. (Source: www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42...)

Play Blue Prince, it's really good.

When I buy myself a little treat in this dystopian hellscape

I do not know how it is so hard to learn that the only way to deal with Trump is to push back against him. It's like every institution in America has to relearn this lesson every week.

Really happy to share that after 3 months of major depression, it’s finally lifted enough for me to finish a script (on Columbo), and I will begin editing it soon. Pottery and art has really, really helped me manage what I was going through.

1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare. It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process. My fact check of the Trump HHS review. Subscribe to support my journalism.

I was just on NPR Member Station KCRW's "Press Play" where I fact check the Trump HHS Review targeting transgender healthcare. Listen to me speak here: www.kcrw.com/news/shows/p...

NEW from me: Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company is operating 35 gas turbines without any pollution permits, belching asthma-worsening emissions into an area that leads Tennessee in ER visits for asthma. www.eenews.net/articles/elo...

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.

Talk of Elon Musk being replaced at Tesla means this is the perfect moment to help turn up the temperature, and show Wall Street that the #TeslaTakedown is here to stay. Find your local protest, or start one with your friends and neighbors, at teslatakedown.com www.wsj.com/business/aut...

On April 24, ICE agents broke into a home of a family of US citizens in Oklahoma. The family repeatedly said we are citizens, you have the wrong people. ICE terrorized the family, ripped apart the house. It's not "other people" that this is happening to. It's us. Open your eyes. Wake the hell up.

The Naval Academy cancelled a freakin' Ken Burns documentary showing, not because of the content, but because Burns had been critical of Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

Hi I used to work at Starbucks customer service: if you call or email about this, they are absolutely tracking those numbers, and a sufficient amount of public pushback does make them rethink shit sometimes, so now would be an EXCELLENT time to let them know they’re being ableist shitheads

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.
