Is anyone approving of this? Using Twitter for threatening wars? Do they understand the connection between China/Iran/Russia? Seriously.

The British Medical Association Resident Doctors are the backbone of the NHS, they look after us all in hospital. They passed this motion at their conference which pulls the ā€œsupremeā€ court judgement to pieces. They call it ā€œscientifically illiterateā€ and ā€œbiologically nonsensicalā€ 1/3

Transphobes are like "binary sex is a magical ghost that adheres indelibly to a person's very soul even when every last physical detail of their body has changed. To say otherwise... would be unscientific."

This book! Dumpster fire, dry wit, a satirical and yet accurate snapshot of how navigating publishing as a trans woman writer with dubious scruples, could play out. A ROTTEN GIRL, by @jemma.bsky.social šŸ„¹šŸ’œšŸ’œ

Yo, the town of Bellingham WA is considering making the city an official transgender sanctuary and they're having a town hall meeting this Monday at about 6:30-7ish! Would mean a lot to me if folks in the area showed support, id love a city close to my heart to be a sanctuary!

The UK is a fascist state with the pretence of democracy. Autism is not a disease. Being trans is not a disease. Neither need cured. Leave us the fuck alone!!

And here we are, DECADES LATER, still calling for these things

Disabled women know more than most how blocking access to toilets isn’t a minor inconvenience - it’s a form of segregation from everyday life. It is turning down drinks with friends as you worry you can’t fulfil a basic human need if you go out. And knowing society has made the choice not to care.

I feel like I’m losing my mind with the lack of wall to wall coverage on disappearing *children with cancer* i keep saying this, but it’s not 5% of the uproar that came from Biden’s debate. ā€œkids peeing in litter boxesā€, a thing that never happened, got orders of magnitude more coverage.

If Biden, as president, had fallen asleep at the Pope’s funeral, it would have been the top story in America for days. Trump falling asleep at the Pope’s funeral today won’t be, because our media is broken.

Guess what? Not done with Magica Riot art today 😁 Please enjoy Hikari playing a Dreamcast on a CRT down in the Vault, by @gelidspace.bsky.social šŸ˜

I'm begging USAmericans to stop writing this article. The future US that subjugates and annexes us would not be a US where we get to vote. It probably isn't a US where they get a meaningful vote either. It just seems so flippant.

🚨🚨 @ec.europa.eu is now examining to what extent Hungary’s plan to deploy facial recognition technology to identify people attending #LGBTQ+ #Pride events is illegal under the EU's AI Act. 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/hung...

This week on the blog! A little more Tolkien, this time a long look at how 'magic' and supernatural power function in The Lord of the Rings - and how what gets seen as 'magic' is simply an extension of the greater power of the Unseen spiritual world in Middle-earth. acoup.blog/2025/04/25/c...

Now that my multicolor mini printer is right behind my desk, I've been doing a lot more test prints since I just have to spin around to reset stuff. The last few days I've been trying new fantasy dagger bookmark color combos! (I can do these as custom bulk commissions as well!)

I made this ad nearly 40 years ago for Marvel. It was intended to make you think about a fictional world where such horror could exist, not make you realize you were actually living in that world.

Heads up, I occasionally put small originals up for flash sale in my IG stories (not in my online shop). Just put up these two mini houses ✨ www.instagram.com/nimasprout?i...

"both parties are the same" The Nation types are misinformed accelerationists. they (falsely) believe that if you let authoritarians takeover democrats magically see the errors of their ways and transform into a better party, without any of the hard work actually required for that to happen

I am told that, by pushing my way in despite Vatican objections to see a very ill Pope Francis, I have his death on my conscience. That is not true. I have no conscience. by J. D. Vance

this is why you shouldnt believe what you see on the internet. It was actually closer to 50 years. His name was Porphyrios, he actually caused the creation of entirely new trading routes just to avoid him and was declared enemy of the state by Justinian. He is the hero we need.

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

If you don't like his principles, he has others, as he shows you time and time and time again. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

If my sixth grader does a well thought out presentation on books and you ignore that to ask her what porn is You will be able to clock down to the milisecond the moment decorum leaves my body it’s not just ā€œinappropriateā€ it’s proto harrasment designed to shame her for questioning

This is coming from the Prime Minister of a G7 nation. He is saying I'm not real and this will indirectly empower bigots to attack me, or worse! He knows that. He's no fool. But what am I meant to do? @ilgaeurope.bsky.social @terryreintke.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Once you notice that most of trans studies treats transfems as Spicy Gay Men and transmascs as Tragic Stone Butches, you can no longer unsee the de/regendering that pervades the entire discipline. :)

See this is what I mean. Mississippi is a state with a 40% Black population. African American candidate Mike Espy garnered nearly 45% of the vote in the 2020 General Election for the U.S. Senate. Why isn’t there a 10 yr Dem plan for organizing Mississippi? Why concede the state w/a 40% Black pop?

tbh this is my darkest birthday, my country political and economy is gettin worse and there's a chance i might be become poorer than ever amidst of that, i'm still believing there's a bit of optimism left inside me, that's why my choice for birthday art is firefly #sciart #invertebrates #insect

It's 1981. Something lurks in the arcades of Portland, Oregon, and the only person who can stop it is the city's secret trans magical girl protector…JADE EVERGREEN! Check out the cover of my upcoming Magica Riot: Full Bloom tie-in short! Art & Jade's character design by @ambisweetiepie.bsky.social!

here’s a picture of a baby pig that belongs to the lady who boards my horse his name is Pig Newton at 9 weeks old he already comes when called, sits on command, and oinks when you ask him to

The plan to prove that the most incompetent White men are preferable to the most highly qualified Black men has been a smashing success. Between the tariff lunacy tanking the economy, the chain-sawing of the federal govt, & Signal-gate (parts 1 & 2), the supremacy is not looking very supreme.

Can't get over the fact dude started "dating" his wife when she was 16, he allegedly beat & raped her and openly told her if she didn't have sex with him he would rape minors, but it got framed as him having "some baggage" www.wweek.com/news/2025/04...

You will be a better writer for knowing about the range and diversity of past and present societies.

It's here! My essay that I worked very hard on about how Tolkien constructed his fictional histories to comment on real world nationalist mythmaking. It's free! It costs $0 to read! And I think it's very good.
