My first attempt to translate a song from Kabardian to English. Translating all those long verbs with multiple prefixes was a bit of a challenge. lyricstranslate.com/en/betal-iva...

Read it. Two things that are absolutely essential to keep in mind right now: (1) Trump is breaking the law, in a way that will harm citizens as well as noncitizens (2) The law governing noncitizens is quite bad, and makes it easier that it should be to do harmful things

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

The extent of the UK press outlet generated online hate campaign against trans people. More than 11 articles a day, on average, over the last year alone. With Labour fuelling the fire.

So, the Trumpists blatantly lied about things that could be clearly seen in the available video footage.

She is right. The Trump admin is literally doing this. They terminated humanitarian parole for hundreds of thousands of people who came here LEGALLY through a government program, and they are calling all those people "illegal aliens."

Today my partner @jadziadani.bsky.social and I announced that we’re opening a trans-owned and operated cafe in Toronto in fall 2025 and the joyful response has been beyond anything I could have imagined. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. I think we all just need a little good news right now. 🥺❤️🏳️‍⚧️☕️

Both Zhuangzi and the Book of Songs mention ⟨蒼⟩ (*ʦʰˁaŋ) as the color (色) of the sky (天). Although it was also used to describe the color of reed (蒹) and bulrush (葭) leaves, so it's safe to conclude that it referred to both green and skyblue hues.

A few different chapters in the Book of Rites confirm that white jade (白玉) was really considered the most precious type of jade, worn only by the emperor, while nobles of lower ranks were expected to wear jade of other colors, such as mountain-azure (山玄) and aquamarine (水蒼).

It's quite possible that Whiskey Pete 1) is too stupid and 2) has no aides to figure out he needs to coordinate with LAPD, in which case this will become a clusterfuck very quickly. is he going to feed the Marines? Or are they supposed to live off the land?

I haven't checked but I'm fairly sure Sun Tzu has a chapter about why you shouldn't do this.

this is why I don't think trying to use the troops will go well for Trump. he has installed a leader they all hate, made their life worse, and now he's treating them like a contractor he can refuse to pay. generally a despot making all his soldiers hate him does not go well for the despot

BREAKING: please, everyone, turn on local news. there is NOTHING going on in LA. Its over, the protest broke up hours ago. Local news helicopters are trolling for trouble and there's none. Just some LAPD/LASD road blocks. If they 'send the Guard' now, its just because they really really want to.

🚨 After months of defiance of court orders (and the Supreme Court) and claims under oath from cabinet level officials that they would never bring him back, the Trump admin blinks; Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being brought back to the U.S., where he can finally get some due process.

The NYT's continued war on trans kids and families is particularly heinous right now because they're targeting a group who can not speak up without endangering themselves. It's watching a minority group hide and flee for their lives while running a 6-part series about how the other side has a point.

Yeah, I just found this out today. It appears at first glance like he's pretty lowkey about it and I think all of the outlets just trying to get a story out looked at a Facebook post and called it a day with no interrogation.

Circa 2016 or so I had a therapist ask me if I'd felt any ideation recently, and I said no. Then he asked a followup that I'd never been asked before: "What would be the one thing that could put you back in that headspace?" I thought about it for a moment and said "being forced to detransition."

I've made my peace with the fact that foreigners just don't care that my home country force-detransitions trans women at mandatory military service against their will, after most of psychiatrists in the country refuse to give trans people the needed diagnoses.
