I have an ex who detransitioned and has now made it to the ex-gay celibacy style self-loathing. It's a mindfuck to see someone go full circle that way, and I genuinely feel bad for them. Just wish they weren't so desperate for another book deal that they're bringing others down with them.

I never want to hear any talk of "personal responsibility" from someone who won't train their dogs not to bark at neighbors

"First they came for Muslims, but now every diaspora is a potential bargaining chip in geopolitical rivalry... The domestic review provisions of this order mean immigrant life in America can be treated as one never-ending visa interview."

Such a fun movie and the cutest cast!

The public utility commission chair, Parson's appointee, Kayla Hahn is pushing this through. Usually the chair is expected to support citizens' interests, not corporate monopolies.

Since the National Park Service is trying to erase the singular role that trans people played in starting Stonewall, here’s a piece I wrote about the devastating, four-decade-long consequences of erasing trans women in the 1970s from the queer rights movement. www.thenation.com/article/arch...

Submit testimony by tonight!

Israeli police arrested the owners of the Educational Bookshop in East Jerusalem, looted books, and ordered the bookstore to close. This bookstore was established 40 years ago and is a critical Palestinian cultural institution. #BookSky #Libraries apnews.com/article/isra...

"Last year, I paid more property taxes on a 2005 Jeep Loredo than the Wash U did on its sprawling campuses."

The Missouri Senate has launched a Government Efficiency Portal. They’d like the public to report wasteful spending, and recommend solutions. I certainly have a few proposals… www.senate.mo.gov/committeefor...

It’s not that often that I finish a book and think it should be made into a movie, but Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley would be a perfect spy thriller flick #booksky

if you've ever bullied a cable company into lowering your bill i actually think this is your big moment!!! does your insurance company intend to withdraw coverage for trans minors?? will your school board be changing policies? your city council, your college, your employer, your library board--

please read the following from Translating Falasteen (on x and ig, and collaborator with The Sameer Project) about what the genocidal Israeli military is doing in Tulkarem. it is important that we do not lose sight of what is going on in Palestine, including the West Bank RIGHT NOW:

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

Incredible to see people who complied in advance to literal genocide posturing resistance and solidarity.

I was looking for Mohamed's account and could not find it at first - he was banned again. He is a real person. His farm is in the area designated a military buffer zone in the ceasefire, so unlike many others, he's not allowed to return and start rebuilding. He grows plants next to his tent for now.

Another day, another new Wikipedia article created for a corrupt state employee. It's not much, but at least her shady business isn't completely hidden behind a paywall or the endless news stream.

ICYMI @revdrmonica.bsky.social and I talked to author and beautiful human @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social about coping strategies, art and Octavia Butler on our webinar "Octavia Tried to Tell Us" back in 2020. Still relevant today. youtu.be/7IYFRIo-VWg?...

I've started to take autism quizzes and I'm reminded how I felt personally offended when Mr. Bennet mockingly asks Mr. Collins if he rehearses social observations in advance. #JaneAusten #neurodivergence

Friends who've moved here recently: if you've checked bsky.app/moderation, you've seen a few filter options and maybe told Bluesky not to silently hide everything it considers "adult content". But have you also clicked on "Bluesky Moderation Service"? Because there's more: bsky.app/profile/mode...
