Good morning, y'all! Thank you so much to everyone who uplifts me here and elsewhere. I'm now up to $257/$2300 still due 6/6, just a few days away. 5pm EST. Rules around lateness are different now so this date is FIRM. Thank you all so much. #urgent #fundsky #helpsky #Blackmutualaid 🖤🤎💞💸 #TBNC

It says a lot about where we’re at in this country that a beloved voice actor was murdered by his homophobic neighbor and every headline is still running passive defense for his killer, doing everything not to call this hate crime what it was. These are scary times. RIP to Jonathan Joss.

hi, cis folks! it’s pride. you with us? cool. have you called your senators about the budget bill that’s trying to strip trans healthcare from people of all ages on medicaid or ACA plans? that’s like 20% of us & this is the govt we’re up against. find reps here reps.fyi tap the thread for scripts

Absolutely whacky that antitrans movements get to ascribe positions like "bare minimum support for trans youth" as extreme trans activism, drowning out defensible radical positions like "I think medical transition should come with paid leave from work"

This is NOT a joke

My one change to reality would be that being a bigot gives you migraines. You CAN push through, if you're really dedicated, but if you get too mad you will spontaneously develop brain tumours. Once brain-computer interfaces are widespread, this should be as easy as a few lines of code...

Cis lesbian who got a mastectomy because she wanted it is a threat to the patriarchal, natalist order because her brand of sexed autonomy is anathema to heterosexualists. It's not just explicitly transgender or transsexual people they abhor--it's gender autonomy, full stop, period.

A good opportunity for Democrats to drop their current message -- "We apologize for being Democrats" -- and pick up a new one: "We can have nice things."

the pitch for like 99% of app startups is just "what if we could make money by inserting ourselves between customers and a service that already exists" and when are we going to just collectively stop humoring this nonsense

We have FOUR Noah Caldwell-Gervais videos, and Bigtop Burger is back. The tide is turning, and the promise of a good world begins to ignite anew.

imane khalif is a cis woman from a country that has entirely forbidden transition. this is literally just racism.

When politicians talk about keeping the children safe from "pornography", this is what they mean

cant help but think this is also largely about scare optics of "yeah we'll do this in a blue state 'blue' city go fuck yourselves"

I think it'd be entirely possible to turn the right against RFK Jr. by pointing to this and going "RFK is telling you that vaccines are bad because he was sent by the deep state to cull the white race."

The greatest trick the mediocre ever pulled was convincing the world it deserved nothing better.

Daily reminder that Daniel Ek is a waste of oxygen and doesn't give two shits about the artist nor the consumer

Britain has no idea - in terms of its self-image, not economists obviously - what economy it actually has One of my favourite facts to point out is: at over £8bn annually, the *videogames industry* is more than twice as valuable to the UK economy as fishing and steel combined.

“bluesky is dying” a year and a half ago the biggest posts on here got like 70 likes total

For those of you who’ve missed it, fascists held an anti-trans rally in the heart of our historic gayborhood, the cops beat the shit out of counter-protestors, and this is the federal narrative now. I tried to log off to save my sanity for a bit, but this was literally down the street from me!!

What the hell? What the helly? What the hellebron James? What the hellden ring? What the hello darkness my old friend?

this shit is crazy bc liberals complain about leftists being mean when right wingers are literally kidnapping citizens.

*rubbing temples* people are still trying to blame the dynamics on this website as a primary cause, or at least *one* of the primary causes, for why growth has stalled as opposed to “does blue sky have hundreds of millions of dollars being poured into it to maximize growth and market capture”

This is the entire fulcrum of the anti-trans movement. Every random person believes they have the right to weigh in on "care" and what is psychologically and medically best for kids and even other adults, and for some reason governments have decided this is rational.

If you're a CEO and scared of an assassination attempt, maybe DON'T do shit like this because it just makes it super obvious lmao

Go is what you get when the designers of a programming language are brave enough to ask the question “what if better things were *not* possible?”

Bluesky has its problems and this is by far the worst. I've added my name to this, I hope you will too.
