Post a female character that you love.

I can't stress enough how wrong and disingenuous the most recent wave of COVID revisionism is. The *only period* when Democratic counties had higher death rates was April-May 2020. From June 2020 onwards, Republican laxity and denialism were the most powerful force driving deaths.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

so... this article is from the Illustrierter Beobachter (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illustr...), an illustrated Nazi propaganda magazine, published in 1944. The article is basically about how ridiculous, absurd, and unseemly American comic strips were. The article title is roughly "Bloody Nonsense."

Remember when Republicans argued that changing the names of military bases and removing statues was tantamount to erasing history? They forgot to add that this only holds for straight white men, who made war on the United States during the Civil War.

Today, the New York Times is continuing its war on Trans people by releasing a ominously titled podcast about gender affirming care for trans youth that continues to peddle their lies and distortions. I wrote about how the NYT does this. www.thedissident.news/the-new-york...

Elon Musk genuinely thought firing thousands of government workers and killing hundreds of thousands of people by cutting foreign aid was going to make people love him. The moment that didn’t happen, he went down a spiral he’ll never escape from and it’s kind of nice to watch.

my gift. print it, poster it, do what you want.

Jonathan Joss' husband Tristan has released another statement saying that donations to their old home GoFundMe are not needed at this time and would ask for everyone to direct their energy towards spreading the message about how he was in fact murdered in a hate crime

I dream of login in to Bluesky to see this go viral with support from community and allies. So much that we are able to keep our Trans shelter open to Trans people.

Found a Spotify playlist called “worst songs to have sex to” and every song on just makes it funnier

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

I've decided to turn any hate towards this into a positive. Every time I get flipped off or thumbs down for this flag I'm gonna make a 3$ donation to www.thetrevorproject.org at the end of the month. #Pride #QueerTrucker #TheTrevorProject #LGBTQ

The perfect bird feeder doesn't exi--

In South Park, San Diego, US citizens stigmergically rose up against Trump’s Gestapo. The revolt erupted midday when ICE began rounding up people at a restaurant; patrons and passersby alike dropped everything to confront the regime storm troopers. #3E #EndImpunity #StopICE

At the end of the day, this is the President of the United States targeting, harassing and bullying a single individual 16-year-old girl for winning a track meet. The disgusting absurdity of that is only beaten out by how brave AB Hernandez is. She's got more guts than any politician today.

Happy pride month ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

"It really does disappoint me that so many brilliant colleagues—whose genuine breakthroughs I’ve profited from for years—would be so quick to condemn this newer, stupider way that I and others like me can make money off your life’s work, through stealing."

Here's a cheat sheet for whenever you read an old sci-fi author

RFK is using his family name as cover, but make no mistake: the MAHA movement is class warfare against working people. The restrictions on the COVID-19 vaccine make sure only well-resourced people can get it. Busy working people will just get sick. www.salon.com/2025/05/27/t...

I subscribe to the @newyorker.com, I was part of ACT UP, I knew Larry Kramer well and know Tony Fauci too. Daniel Immerwahr's piece on RFKJr, features this and other passages that need a reponse. 1/

Read this thread, look at the T-shirt, and think about the Fugitive Slave Law

Dear Mr. Clegg I have started a business, selling the contents of your house I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house Without this access my company will not be profitable Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree Please advise how I should proceed

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch

Hail, Dorian.

A reminder that Memorial Day is a Black holiday.“ The fact that the freed slaves’ Memorial Day tribute is not as well remembered is emblematic of the struggle that would follow, as African Americans’ fight to be fully recognized for their contributions to American society continues to this day.”

Really sorry to hear about Peter David; his work with Star Trek was among the best of the '90s licensed material. I only met him once; it was when I would do part-time at the local comic shop for store credit.

This is the funniest movie production fact I’ve ever read

How the fuck did I miss this

There’s a lot of nonsense about George Floyd out there this weekend. If you’re looking for a place to send people who need a correction, here’s my (very long) series addressing all the false claims about his death. open.substack.com/pub/radleyba...

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only.

ok so an important thing i really think people on bluesky need to hear about the anti-trans megabill the tl;dr is that you could actually turn the tide of trans rights in america right now but if you don’t act now, then we’re all cooked indefinitely please read on 🧵

Wake up, sheeple. Food is killing our kids #antivaxxers #conspiracy #conspiracists #humour

The steady deterioration of First Amendment rights and the conflation of violence with dissent is a result not just of an authoritarian regime but of a press culture that is feckless at best and authoritarian-fluffers at worst. The New York Times is beyond redemption.

Nice! I hadn't heard about this. Need to psy more attention I guess...

Is it too much to ask for an IRS Commissioner who understands the law?

how its done
