So much of the world of these dudes is based on the idea that the "realistic", "pragmatic" and "rational" thing to do is to commit civilisational suicide by boiling ourselves alive.

At some point people will realize that the REAL Democratic platform is "more cops and more bombs" - this is not some optics game they're playing for centrist votes. The optics game is actually the progressive stuff they talk about but never achieve. You get to choose between Project 2025 and this.

A New York Times investigations editor logs onto bluesky for the first time in 5 months to defend a virulently transphobic journalist who works beneath her knowing she'd provoke a reaction. She then uses that disapproval as a smug reassurance of her transphobia being justified.

🧵 As @iododds.bsky.social has already pointed out, the EHRC and the "supreme" court seem to want to create a historical/legal fiction that, in 2009 and 2010, parliament was proposing that The Equality Act (2010) was in fact a national toilet ban for trans people. As someone who was involved... 1/5

just ONE more time where we pick out a popular trans woman to hyperscrutinize for faults until there's something we can fixate on to bring her down. then, when she's dealt with, we can FINALLY get on with the transfeminist project of understanding and preventing transmisogynist harassment online

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

This synthesis applies similarly to transheterosexuality as with trans manhood, which I see as two pretty clear examples of how oppression theory has to be dialectical at the foundation to really work.

Okay. I'm going to talk about transmascs. When we eventually look back on the decade of feminist mismanagement since the 'transgender tipping point', we will judge its single greatest crime the utter refusal to reckon with transmasc oppression a) seriously, and b) as a distinct form of violence.

I am so over the "Western binary". I am so over how people consistently, ignorantly, and frankly embarrassingly insist that the "gender binary" is so particularly Western and colonial and recent. It's a complete failure to juxtapose rhetoric on gender with how it actually, materially operates.

This was a hate crime in a series of hate crimes Jonathan and his husband Tristan dealt with. Neighbors said he was behaving "erratically" but who wouldn't react with such extreme emotion in this situation? He was murdered on the first day of Pride. Indigenous people are not numbers. Say his name.

The FBI is now going after trans people and their healthcare. Today it's gender affirming care, tomorrow abortion. This is the authoritarian playbook on display.

A trans woman was just sentenced to 15 years in prison for defending herself from an attacker. She wanted no part in the fight and witnesses described her actions as self-defense. With right-wing media constantly portraying her as "evil" since the incident, the trial was over before it began.

a lot of people treat trans women's inability to get pregnant as read through a kind of cis male privilege and not "the failure of this strata of women-things to bear children for the family is a central part of what marks them for extremely high levels of sexual exploitation and murder"

Deeply saddened. With Watt & Albanese's 'executive' decision to ignore 50000 years of cultural heritage at Murujuga, & O'Neill's 'smugness', they ALSO potentially 'approved' a minefield of racist-based vandalism against aboriginal sites everywhere. Let that sink in. www.abc.net.au/news/105359106

Saw an uncredited post on fb that got eaten by a refresh saying that JK shouldn't be categorized as simply a problematic artist. That she's more like Musk: a radicalized person with extreme wealth using said wealth to influence the government to target and harm a marginalized group. Helpful framing.

I would humbly submit that rebadging writing as ‘content’ was the first step in demolishing the value of human creativity on the internet. AI is flowing down the putrid path already carved by that destruction.

I wrote about this in my newsletter but the idea that Bluesky has a uniquely hostile culture does not ring true to me. Twitter’s culture, especially at its peak, was so hostile that it lit people’s entire lives on fire if they tweeted something nice about their day that upset the wrong person
