No matter your background, this is a must read paper 👇

transphobic *and* against bodily autonomy? it's always the same fight.

let’s fire some rounds into the air. if you had a problem with isabel fall and what she published then i got a problem with you

This is what instantly popped into my head when I heard Dear Leader was ranting about "Transgender for Everbody":

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Words are the least important part we literally make all of them up

This is who runs this account

At least 59 Palestinians have been killed after Israeli tanks fired into a crowd at an aid distribution site, according to medics and witnesses speaking to Reuters and the Associated Press The IDF says it "regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals" and is reviewing the incident

To the shock of absolutely no one who refuses to use AI.

Tonight I go to bed with less wisdom than I awoke with (I've had my wisdom teeth removed). I think this officially downgrades me from Tap of Occasional Insight to Bucket of Useless Trivia

I have spoken to rooms full of nondisabled people and heard this ripple of tense laughter. I have told my own story of flipping a car on black ice and people straight up told me they would just drive more carefully. They can’t handle the idea that you can’t wellness and responsibility your way out.

Australians keep claiming "we have universal healthcare!" We do not. Our healthcare is substantially less universal than it was even five years ago

Not non-binary in a "between man and woman" way but in a "gender that completely disregards relation to manhood is inherently outside the heteronormative system" way

When an autistic person is sharing a special interest be mindful that growing up we were often shut down or made fun of for sharing & what you consider “playful teasing” can be taken as mean/hurtful especially if we feel confident/comfy enough to unmask & share something with you or our communities.

"Transgender yearning" Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

this is what Posting feels like

Surprise Stained Glass Woman! I was going to do a big thread on the Health & Wellness chapter of the 2022 USTS, but when I settled in to do it, it was just too big for Bluesky. So... bonus article on Who We Are! open.substack.com/pub/stainedg...

Not only can working from home make you happier, for many disabled people it allows them to remain in the workforce It gives them autonomy & independence. Flexibility to attend doctors appointments and care for their health It’s a crucial accommodation, and removing it will harm disabled lives

it’s so hard to deal with so many humans being cruel to others i weep that i cannot help them all my heart breaks that i cannot even help most but i can help some, when and how i can and so can you and if we all do what we can, where we can, when we’re able? that’s how we change the world

ok, elon. so, this dude vonnegut, he survived the dresden fire bombing in ww2. he wrote a pretty famous book about it, slaughterhouse-five. before that he wrote a book called mother night, it's about what it means to "pretend" to be a nazi propagandist. vonnegut says it has a very simple moral.

Australia’s specialist care system is broken. Too expensive. Too slow. Too unfair. 2 million Australians skip care each year. Our new report sets out a five-point fix. 📙 Read it here: grattan.edu.au/report/speci...

This tbh. Feminist ethics are a thing but social analysis and ethics aren't synonymous, and it seems like a lot of pop applications of feminism can confuse that

It's not unusual for people to end up on both my antisemite and anti-Palestinian blocklists - but “... the ways of the Jew and the Arab should just die out. They are fruitless and diseased” being from an ostensible LW account is *weird*

This skeet from @taliabhatt.itch.io has been living rent free in my head

screaming 🤣

There's been some criticism of these protests from the left--saying that they lack a meaningful call-to-action and that they're just directionless marches. This isn't *entirely* unfair (I am a stern critic of anti-authoritarian movements that are unable/unwilling to seize power themselves). But...

Cant say shenanigans these days gotta say theynanigans because of woke
