we’re about to find out if loving SimCity makes you a better mayor Mamdani was asked in 2002 by NY Mag what he wanted for Christmas and said SimCity 3000

Having one of those “can’t believe I just look like this now” nights.

You _could_ say that the US Government got an orchiectomy today. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

stop running away from trans people and fight back

The thing about Lower Decks is that every couple of episodes, they do something that makes me want to get up and chant “One of us! One of us!”

This story is my absolute fav and every chapter fills me with deep and complicated emotions I don't truly know how to process and I cannot express how enjoyable that is so go fucking read it. Do it. You'll be glad you did.

For the record, this is an incredibly stupid war even compared to the other stupid wars of this century.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so. 🧵

Every time my girlfriend takes one of my cough drops, I damn near pass out laughing as she spends the next five minutes acting like she’s been poisoned, because they really do taste that bad but I just ignore it.

i think having everyone's blocklist public on bluesky is a fucking nightmare but the fact that there is a leaderboard as a result is pretty funny

The NYT apologized for its coverage of the AIDS epidemic 39 years later. Maybe in half a century they'll apologize to trans people.

What has two thumbs and just saved her girlfriend’s old MacBook from the trash heap after a botched upgrade?

The biggest mistake made by cyberpunk media of the 80s and 90s is that they didn’t anticipate the power of NIMBYs.

The transfem experience of occasionally crossing paths with someone who could be your mirror universe counterpart, right down to the name, except that neither of you has a goatee anymore. (Don’t ask which one’s the human and which is the terran.)

My voice is such a mess today that I’m about to attempt my first ever TTY call.

this is especially true of trans journalists, who are viewed by cis editors in the mainstream media as too biased to be able to cover the health care and civil rights they know intimately well

On days like this one, it’d be really nice to believe that in the end they’ll pay for all the blood on their hands.

You do somewhat get the impression that a not insignificant number of clinicians get involved in trans healthcare simply to be as nasty to trans people as possible

Gull Dukat. Another one of those mental images I had to exorcise by drawing it. #art #StarTrek #DS9

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Hi Bob!

it’s lowkey pretty antisemitic to arrest a Jew for engaging in our most beloved pastime, arguing with authority

transphobic of florida to win the stanley cup during pride month smh

It's Pride Month! Quote with a queer character. 🏳️‍🌈

Do you let fevers run their course or do you nuke them from orbit with meds? Asking for a me.

Can’t say I’m enjoying this Martian death cold I’ve had for a few days.
