we're not throwing trans people under the bus for any fucking reason. None. There are two sides: the one that throws people under buses and the side that does not. Choose which one you are on.

Well that’s a headline I did not except to see. Ever.

Might save a life.

The online hate towards trans people, immigrants, queer people, black people is also pretty stressful.

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

I’m going to be angry for a very long time about how this time in history made it feel like being a good person was somehow political

don’t know who needs to hear this but empathy doesn’t require eagerness. you don’t have to be excited about helping other people, you do it because it’s right and because the alternatives are worse

Today my thoughts are only for the brave people of Ukraine, victims of a criminal aggression that intensified three years ago. May the international legal system show as much resilience as they do.

Wish I were one of Elon's kids so I'd never see him again

self-awareness is such a scam bc now i can see all my problems AND i still have them? rude

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

"It hurts and confuses us to imagine that there are anti-liberatory feminisms, but I think when we do allow that and we do conceptually break that possibility open, that’s when it becomes possible to stake out our ground as an anti-colonial, proletarian, trans feminism." —Sophie Lewis

Last week, a number of prominent UK feminists declared Donald Trump a "feminist hero" for banning trans women from playing sports. How did we get here? A new book by @reproutopia.bsky.social explores how reactionary tendencies have created Enemy Feminisms throughout the history of feminism

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

The govt saying it supports a two-state solution is NOT an appropriate response to a proposal of genocide. And if that is all it has, then hey, why not errr ****RECOGNISE GAZA AS A STATE****

Well said @sarahschwartz.bsky.social! Just like there are right wing Christians & left wing Christians, there are right wing Jews & left wing Jews. Unfortunately the far right & Zionist campaign pretends left wing Jews don’t exist, putting the entire community at risk. Please repost! 🕊️💙🦋

It's hard to know what to say or whether it's even worth adding to the doom - what I will say is buy your trans friends' weird zine, their album, their art game - buy them a beer or a soda or a meal - give them some ko-fi money for doing absolutely nothing. We gotta protect trans kids and adults.

Sell your Tesla. ❌ Sell your Cybertruck. ❌ Get off Twitter. ❌ Don’t sign up for Starlink. ❌ Bankrupt him. It will take while but it’s possible. ✊🏻 #resist

Makes sense

Today is a great day to buy books by trans and nonbinary writers. If you are a trans or nonbinary horror creator who feels safe doing so, go ahead and share links to your work or the best way to support your work.

Having not read the sentencing remarks, I’m cautious about rushing to conclusions, but on its face Feathers McGraw appears to be a prime example of the rampant sentence inflation that has led to chronic overcrowding in our zoos and the unedifying spectacle of animals being released early.

Trans rights forever the end.

Night night sweet dreamies Be gentle with yourself. You're going through a lot, but you're doing your best and that's enough for right now

So hey, let’s start off 2025 maybe making somebody’s life better in a small tangible way. What is a small practical thing—object, lifehack, whatever—that solved a small annoyance for you? For me, did you know you can buy clips with elastic specifically to hold the corner of your fitted sheet on?

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

melburnians: what kind of weather will we have today? melbourne: yes

Can someone remind me on Thursday that I was wearing a hoodie on Monday so I can laugh about how ridiculous Melbourne weather is? Thanks in advance!

Did you know that you should end your alt text with a period? "End alt text with a period, even if it isn’t a full sentence. The period ensures that the screen reader pauses after reading the alt text." This was a new tip for me. Glad to learn something new! www.nngroup.com/articles/wri...

Been seven years since I first read this, on the English language's *completely universal but totally invisible* adjective hierarchy, and I can honestly say I've thought about it most days since.
