NBC News reviewed over 100 pages of documents submitted by the federal government in its effort to deport Mahmoud Khalil. In some instances, the government appears to be relying on unverified tabloid articles. In others, the government claims are clearly erroneous. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

- Bretesuchus bonapartei - A swarm of flies hover around the dragon's jaws, attracted by the smell of decaying flesh that accompanies him. The intense heat and the annoyance of the insistent insects, ends the patience of the old king.

worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades

eavesdropping on u

since I haven't said it outside of stream in a while: trans women are women trans men are men trans right are human rights I will not tiptoe around my support for those facts to be more "palatable". I will not be quiet to make terfs comfortable. That shit will not fly in my community or life.

Posting this for the umpteenth time.

Rlly quick Kentrosaurus #paleoart commission!

Trans women are women, trans men are men, insistence on the existence of binary sex categories is both profoundly ignorant of biology and displays a pathetic understanding of human decency.

according to the supreme court women are not oppressed by sexism, misogyny, men — patriarchy. they are oppressed by biology. women’s oppression is a natural state. that is not a victory for women’s rights. it’s another barrier. ‘gender critical’ is a far right cancer within feminism.

western countries love to say 'arent you glad you don't live in one of those horrible places where you're persecuted for your gender or sexuality?' and then persecute you for your gender or sexuality

“A woman is defined as someone who can be bred” is the unspoken part under all of this, very damning for Western conceptions of reproductive rights — womanhood as it pertains to various sex & reproductive formations

"could someone else write books about a magical school???" 🫠 yay, it's me being a bitch o'clock If your big concern in all this is that someone needs to provide you an ethical avenue to be a sad millennial wishing for some reason you were still in grade school, your priorities are truly fucked.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

lin some cases "death of the author" is actually quite literal you wait till she's dead and see how things shape up after said demise That's why no one except terminally online guys give you shit if you enjoy the works of Lovecraft

In the shadow of the recent court decision, hopefully it comes out in my writing but: trans rights are human rights and 'biological sex' is a complex non-binary phenomenon.

i can’t believe i have to say this but DO NOT FEED OTHER PEOPLE’S WORK INTO AI. this is awful and heartbreaking.

This fossil friend is Squalicorax, a shark that lived a long time ago in an ocean that covered the middle of North America. Its name is also just fun to say. Give it a try. squall-ih-core-ax. And if that’s tricky you can just call it a crow shark and it’s cool. 🧪

This is a step beyond I got, but I believe it checks out. A (cis) lesbian cannot have any protections on the basis of her lesbian sexual orientation if she's discriminated against because her partner is a trans women, because the court has defined their relationship as a straight one.

Here's the deal: GenAI cannot be ethical, because it wasn't created to be ethical. It was created to avoid having to pay people. It was created to steal jobs. It was not created to make lives easier for those doing the work, it was created to make things cheaper for those wanting what was made.

I love when GenAI fans call digital artists hypocrites because YoU UsE TeChNoLoGy ToO. A digital artist is a chef using an electric egg whisk instead of whisking by hand. A GenAI artist is ordering multiple DoorDash deliveries using a fake credit card then blending it and selling as NEW! soup.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Trans rights and trans liberation now. Anyone with a heart or a soul is sick of this evil shit and how it's taken over the UK - not to mention it's the tip of the spear, as we've been warned by our trans siblings so many times. No forgiveness or pity for transphobes, in government or outside of it.

It’s all one big grift

Something I find quite annoying about the “it was my childhood!” argument being made by people who continue to engage with Rowling’s work is that it ignores the many, many trans people who were fans of Harry Potter as children until the author decided to advocate for our eradication. I was one.

I don't think I like literally anything as much as adult Harry Potter fans like Harry Potter. It confounds me.

I truly cannot overstate how low the bar of entry is here. Pick up anything that can make a mark on anything else and join in on mankind’s ancient tradition of communicating through art

No trans people were consulted on this decision that only affects trans people. In fact trans people were actively barred from consulting on this decision that only affects trans people. But transphobic bigots? Oh they got consulted for days. Fucking grim. I'm absolutely fuming.

What if trans women defined womanhood and femininity? How about we try that on for a change. We think about it, fight for it, manifest it, and hold tight despite everything we lose and stand to have taken. No one has the right to question what we know down to our bones.

BECAUSE WE HAVE A VACCINE. AND, UNTIL RECENTLY, ALMOST EVERYONE TOOK IT. Remarkably, nowhere in the article does the word "vaccine" appear. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/w...

If a cis woman is perceived to be a man and doesn't have relevant documents (for example they are a refugee). They can now legally be barred from using a female space. Women's Rights have been set back about 60 years today in the UK.

trans and disability struggles are inherently linked; our very bodies exist in opposition to the State's interests

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

the safety of trans people is more important than the stupid wizard book you read as a child.

this is why ive been saying that any support for the ip is bad, if interest wasnt continued to be fueled by people engaging they wouldnt be making more and more new things and funneling money into her sick evil pockets, STOP ENGAGING WITH HP find a new fucking thing, let it fucking go
