crossing fingers for NYC tomorrow.

Echoing all of this. 👇 And adding — take some time this month to be in community and celebrate queer joy, in whatever way and space is right for you! We all need it now more than ever. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

People keep saying this is a bad day for trans people. No, this is a bad day for all of us. We ALL receive gender-affirming care and it’s absurd that any of us should not receive it. The state making it illegal to get healthcare is bad news for all of us.

It's not a distraction FROM removing healthcare, it's a genocidal policy that ALSO lays the groundwork for broader healthcare restrictions. The eradication of trans people is a goal in and of itself, and it is also part of a broader effort to shrink what (& who) is acceptable in society.

Thiol users and enjoyers, is there a reason folks don't make TIPS-SH from TIPS-Cl and NaSH? The preps out there all bubble H2S through n-BuLi

Watching one of my all-time faves: Pride (2014) cannot recommend it enough if you haven't seen it.

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

Presidential budget is out. Here's NSF. Biggest cut, by amount, is $1 billion, or 66.8%, from MPS (Physics & Math directorate). nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/00-NSF...

J.K. Rowling is using her wealth attained from the "Harry Potter" series to create an organization dedicated to removing transgender people's rights "in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.” 🔗: bit.ly/3ZBRxYk

Great work, Joe and crew!!!!!

Trump’s bill will kick 14m people off their healthcare and close over 700 rural hospitals.

C'mon Canes....please....I'm beggin

I've seen some liberals earnestly argue that rhetorical concessions on youth healthcare or youth sports would get Republicans to back off on other trans civil rights issues. This is a complete misreading of Republicans. They want trans people to suffer and force them out of public life.

"People need to realize that criminalizing porn is not ever really about just criminalizing adult content — it's about criminalizing representations of sexuality and gender, and ultimately criminalizing those practices and communities."

Specifically it features Terry Schilling who took credit for the effort in Texas to remove transgender youth from their parents' custody

SAG-AFTRA files unfair labor charge against use of Darth Vader's voice in 'Fortnite'

In Ojibwe, my name means ‘speaks in a loud and clear voice woman.’ Today, I’m officially launching my campaign for the U.S. Senate to go to D.C. and speak in a loud and clear voice for ALL of Minnesota.

Wondering if there are any gods taking blood sacrifices to strengthen Seth Jarvis Go Canes.

This is one of the best political stories so far this year. A sweeping rejection of hate in the heartland — and more evidence that Democrats can win everywhere. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

THAT'S CAROLINA HOCKEY, BABY! Caps eliminated. My skin is clear.

We need to promote these wins as much as we promote the hellscape.

it's genuinely so funny how much they hate us yet still feel entitled to our celebration. "Oh, what, I can't come to your faggy parade and sell my shit there just because I completely backed the destruction of your basic human dignity and rights???? How dare you???"

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

Genevieve O'Reilly. That's all. Cut her the Emmy. Andor S2 is fucking electric so far. I'm finally up to date.

this guy is out here proudly being a eugenicist freak while people at mainstream and "respectable publications" make excuses for him or even muse about whether he has a "few good points"

Yes! Exactly what’s needed to #SaveNSF include letters like these that use stories of **local** impact to call on specific reps in Congress.

Pope Leo XIV speaks out against AI: ‘A challenge of human dignity, justice and labour’

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. For example, studying the impact of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 is really helpful (and vital) toward understanding how ICE is operating now.

Very long-time coming!!! The weather held out too.

After many years of online friendship I got to meet @ndchiappini.bsky.social in person today, and he’s just as nice as I imagined! Also, the @uncwilmington.bsky.social campus is gorgeous!

PLEASE DO THIS

I love adding this one data point to economic charts. It works every time.

new pope elected and whoops its francis again, hes BACK BOYS

Just a reminder for those in the back of the classroom that showed up late. the gender critical movement and anti-trans beliefs are all Nazi ideology anyone who believes the gender critical propaganda or anti-trans propaganda is involved with Nazi ideology. Full stop.
