You're afraid I might say something mean on bluesky. I'm afraid they'll murder me or bomb my gender clinic. We are not the same.

since it’s pride and I just got a bunch of new followers let’s keep the rent low by firing some shots in the air - if someone wants to transition at any age for any reason that’s their business 👍🏳️‍⚧️

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

going to keep saying: a society that would like to maintain its basic functions has really got to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by people in positions of authority

The article frames Skrmetti as a poor strategic gamble by activists. In reality, Tennessee passed a categorical ban applicable solely to transgender adolescents which was framed in sex-based terms. The choices were (a) challenge it or (b) concede defeat in advance and abandon trans teens nationwide.

Silver lining of our political climate: I no longer have trouble spelling "propaganda."

@pugliacci.bsky.social over here saying, "You can't tell me goblins wouldn't do meth."

I will live in spite of this Administration. I will live in spite of this court. The work goes on, and I will not stop fighting for us.

argument of bluesky not being as good as twitter is so strange because i see these goofballs twistin themselves into knots writing big long articles just to say its bad, but then i use bluesky it is just like OBVIOUSLY better in every way. twitter is literally an unusable barely functioning website

Yeah…I’m cis as hell but whenever I see someone say “the trans stuff is just a distraction” I think you sound like a dismissive shit.

The Supreme Court as well as the supporters and architects of this bill can suck my ass

buddy and his wife gave their baby a stupid name so i’ve been workshopping cool star wars names for him instead. he started crying from the other room and i said “Graff Chorlo on comms.” i have been told this is “not helpful”

This is what I mean when I say my retirement plan is the collapse of society.

Not me writing multiple games all about one giant liminal space...

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

I had a boss who was absolutely convinced you should never hire anyone who was unemployed because if they were unemployed they were unemployed for a reason.

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

It’s amazing how assault has shot up purely by redefining “scuffing an officer’s boots with your face” and “hurting an officers’ fee-fees” as assault.

Oh man. Worst Cooks was a favorite.

When Black people told you that it is a normal occurrence for police to lie about protest and assaulting officers now you see ... the test run for the justification of authoritarianism always begins in communities of color

am i having a stroke

being autistic before the industrial revolution must have sucked. yeah my new hyperfixation is "the rake"

Great news honestly. Act fast!

I couldn't remember the word "q-tip" and called it an ear toothpick instead.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

The frustrating part about this is it NEVER WORKS. Current Republican voters have the loyalty of football fans; you can't drag them away from their candidates by appealing to them. You must fire up your OWN base, not just donors. IE: The base that's leaving in droves as Dems abandon trans people.

Did you know that you can fit ~40 standard sized playing cards, five dice, and a rules sheet printed on the back of a J-card inside a cassette case without posts? Do something with this knowledge.

The fundamental problem with Sarah McBride's logic in the New York Times today is that the fight over transgender rights is not one where "if only we were a little less confrontational" is the driving factor. Look at Republicans and how they treat people that even acknowledge a transgender woman.

It’s fun how the loudest accounts on this site keep trying to claim that the Democrats really aren’t being radicalized to the right at light speed when the reality is the Neoliberals and the white moderates in the party are embracing a proto fascist platform of hate and division.

But shoot one insurance ceo who doesn't even work for the government...

The man who impersonated law enforcement, shot 4 people, killed two, but only because he was apprehended before he could get to the other 70 names on his list, is not being charged with terrorism.

One month apart.

who cares just write lol

it is dangerous to go alone. take this. it won't help but it is very fluffy and has strong opinions about cheese

What a terrible shame it would be if all those ICE agents stopped getting paychecks lol www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

I'm in this! Both the anthology AND the images! Guess which one!

Transphobia is never ok. Even against problematic transgender women. This goes for cis and trans people. I promise that pedaling transphobia will not make things better for the trans people in your life you care about.

Trump has been negative on immigration twice; after the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, and after the Stephen Miller quotas went into place and sparked unrest. This is a sign people should be leaning into his outrages to highlight how terrible they are, not running away from the issue.
