The story of LGBT rights is a story of advances followed by setbacks followed by media with no skin in the game saying, "It's because you were too loud/asked for too much/moved too fast/got too big for your britches/didn't make your case." That never changes--but happily it's never the last word.

i'm the only one worried about politics the exact right amount. the rest of you are either panicky little babies who are overreacting or head in the sand fools unprepared for the moment. not me, though

I like to think Wilco's femininity is the only part of him he has a healthy understanding of. If the bet was "you have to wear a stupid novelty tshirt" he would have flipped his lid #ocs #webtoon #webcomic #myocs

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

happy pride month

Happy Pride everyone. What I’m thinking about this Pride is, despite their attempts to make us go back in the closet, there are more of us now than ever before. They couldn’t make us go away if they tried their hardest.

Another Republican caught using bots to push their agenda. If you’ve felt like the internet has been flooded with hate and misinformation, it’s not just a feeling. It’s part of a pattern.

No one is more coddled in American media than rightwing culture warriors and the brief glimpses they allow themselves to be put on an even field that we get, whether it’s this or that Jordan Peterson clip, show how incredibly transparent and easily punctured their rhetorical tricks are

Some quick notes and thoughts I had about text and composition. The kind of stuff I am often keeping in the back of my mind while working on an image.

There are approximately 1.5 million transgender American citizens. Approximately 1 in 5 of those transgender Americans rely on Medicaid to cover their healthcare. The United States House just told them to get fucked. I am NOT playing when I say this: You Need To Contact Your Senator NOW.

With a stroke of a pen, a man in a suit can starve your children, put your grandparents out on the street, poison your food and water, imprison your neighbor without a trial, etc. But don't fret, it's not "violence". It's "policy". The most dangerous man doesn’t carry a gun — he carries a pen.

Happy Mother's Day. Enough Queers on here have called me 'mother' at this point, I feel I've earned the right to be ritualistically honoured.

1. I reach a lot of readers from a big variety of political backgrounds... and one of the most common points of contention I see centers around transgender sports bans. In my latest story, I make the moderate case against such bans. Subscribe to support my journalism.

It’s always surprising to me when people don’t remember how quickly and recently opinion turned on gay marriage. Bill Clinton signed DOMA into law. Prop 208 in California in 2008 invalidated a state right to same-sex marriage. In CALIFORNIA.

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

99% of the time, the people who end up getting barged in on by police and security guards with transgender bathroom bans are cisgender lesbian women. Bathroom bans don't work because you can't tell whose trans by looks alone. Anyway. Many such cases.

if your trans news outlet only talks about how we're all going to die and doesn't also include shit like 'how to get your healthcare even if the government's trying to kill you' they're not actually trans news, it's just sparkling trauma porn

I have completely deleted my Duolingo. I was informed by one of my kids that the company has removed most of its employees and 70% of the company is run by AI. I urge everyone to delete their app.

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.

1 Here's the mindset that's underpinning everything: If trans kids don't exist, then only adults can be trans. If only adults can be trans, then it's not a condition, but rather a choice. If it's a choice, then it's a perversion. If it's a perversion, then it's not appropriate in public.

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"
