Just saw Enya’s voice described as “a reverberant backwash of many voices from one larynx” 🤢

Do it. Come out and transition and be yourself unapologetically because that is Life.

You can tell this is a product that's in high demand because they keep hiding the ways to turn it off

the fuck is a biological man

I know I was socialized as a woman because I'm terrified to have an opinion on anything.

I guess we’ll be eating all those autistic eggs now.

The two main red carpet trends right now seem to be Legally I am Not Naked and John Constantine Late In Act II and I'm here for it.

finally having a fully awake day now that i could sleep in a little, and checking my e-mail i am once again so frustrated that the Amythyst Kiah show in Pittsburgh is sold out 😢 eyeing up all the surrounding shows and wondering whether i can't make it to one of them...

One of the truisms of being a trans lesbian is that when you’re still finding your footing, your “do I want her or do I want to be her” radar is going to go absolutely haywire I used to think *I* wanted to be a futch goth top and that I was *into* puppy-coded femme brats. AS IT TURNS OUT

This Valentine’s Day, give her what she really wants. A shiny new sword.

Editorial note: fascism is not insanity, and the language of mental illness should not be used to describe the hearts and minds of evil men.

Because hes an abuuuuusssserrr and that's all he knows how to do!

there's something wrong with walmarts dude like on a metaphysical level I feel like a hud element marked 'sanity' should appear and start rapidly draining whenever I set foot inside

Re LRS this was the group the police were protecting so just for the record, the police here were Nazi guards and the people in the community were the ones running the Nazis off.

Motherfucker.

There are a lot of things to dunk on with this post. But, if you think using an LLM is the way to deal with a json file (json is a ubiquitous, highly structured format for data storage), you are a bad, inexperienced coder. And, you definitely shouldn't be rewriting the US Treasury codebase.

Was looking at this list about 5 minutes before jumping on bluesky and seeing the previous repost, and it makes it very apparent why I’m subscribed to @rainbowrodeo.bsky.social 😅

One day of real protests outside and the people who were like "fuck you peasants we owe you no explanations" are now out there with (probably false) cya clarifications. Pressure works. Keep it up. They answer to the people, it is never ever the other way around. www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/p...

Busriding thoughts: oh hey cathedral of learning be large.

I would like to be explicit here. Bayswater as not *just* a conversion therapy group. They are explicitly a child abuse enabling group. In the Bayswater discord, parents talked about destroying their kids possessions and blocking access to childline. www.wearequeeraf.com/revealed-str...

they’re calling it “give a trans woman 20 dollars” day

REMINDER: 1. If you're on Substack, get off of Substack. 2. If you want to start a Substack, DON'T.

Trump's promised executive order against "gender ideology" is ugly and dangerous, and also, like everything with Trump, contains few specifics and is meant to terrify people into self-repression. Here's my attempt to refocus on the fight ahead:

reminder

This is a generational fight. If you think this is going to be fixed after a Blue Wave in 2026, you’re not being realistic. I’m begging you to put down the AI slop memes and be realistic.

You know what I want Another Highwomen album

Not to brag but the review by my AirBnB host called me an "ideal guest" because "she was hardly here and the time that she spent here was like she was not here", in case you were wondering what my best quality is

good news, i just bought five different t-shirts that say “autism powered fuck machine” to wear on tour… this one is my favorite

If you’re ever wondering why wildfire smoke is so bad for you it’s because it includes things like “an entire bicycle”

This bar just said to transition

the "the climate disaster isn't affecting me, so i'll just turn off my phone and live my life like it isn't happening" strategy turns out to fail in many other areas as well

Transphobia is a rich man's game. It allows billionaires to position themselves as brave truthtellers challenging the status quo without really risking anything because the group they're demeaning lacks much of any institutional power. It gives them the thrill of martyrdom without any sacrifice.

this is a huge part of what makes it so hard - yes, there are tons of bad actors and algorithms but it’s also us, and how our brains work and what appeals to them and what we want to spread even the best intentioned among us have had to delete things that are just wrong

holy fuck

this is exactly what zuck set up facebook for in his dorm room in the first place

Corrective for those who claim the Democrats should simply follow public opinion on every issue

Wait a hot minute: What’s wrong with being 50 and posting? Lol

All right #musicsky, what else needs to go into this playlist?
