Happy Pride Month Y’all

First day of June, real summer weather, not feeling like doing anything else really. #summer #chill #hammock #urbanforest

Everyone knows Utnapištim is the Akkadian Noah, but I think it's not widely known enough what an absolute troll the god Ea and Utnapištim were. Here's them promising rewards to the locals for help building the ark:

Tuesday thinking: Facism is here in America and thriving. It is overwhelming. We question if *anything* we do will make a difference. We need to be an ANT. Yes, I said 🐜. Their collective intelligence is greatly increased. Their collective power is seemingly impossible. Join me. #BeAnAnt

This is utterly disgusting. Yet another proof that Israel doesn't want peace.

We are human rights lawyers. Our new report is clear: Israel perpetrates apartheid | Sandra L Babock, Susan M Akram, Thomas Becker and James Cavallaro

The Grok “white genocide” incident is a clear example of techno-fascism. Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Thiel (Palantir), Andreessen (a16z), Armstrong (Coinbase) and other billionaires subscribe to the neoreactionary movement which aims to replace democracy with authoritarian “network states”.

This tiny spider has binoculars for eyes and a brain so efficient it puts supercomputers to shame. What is the jumping spider Portia, and why is it so interesting to neuroscientists, roboticists, and practitioners of AI? 1/10 ⚛️🧪

I wrote an article about the psychology by which disinformation campaigns work, with examples from anti-trans propaganda. It's not just about individual beliefs, but also the way our institutions and norms are manipulated. Please read and share! pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/Ant...?

Trump didn’t declare martial law. He built it. His April 28 executive order militarizes police, guts oversight, and punishes dissent. The Insurrection Act report is hidden. Democracy is being signed away—one order at a time. #Resist #Authoritarianism Full Article: www.facebook.com/share/p/16KE...

Why Supporting Trans Authors After the UK Supreme Court Ruling Is Critical Can you all please read and share it across your social media Platforms? I'm not on TikTok , Insta, etc, so any shares over on there would be fab. Hopefully this explains what we are hoping to do over on GNoH

That's rich from the NYT. Maybe they could practice what they preach and not cave to the fascists in the first place? Also, ngl, I'm excited about #Andor season 2.

De l’enfer de Ravensbrück à Malmö : le convoi de la liberté des déportées françaises

🧵NOT BY ME, this is a post from someone who wants to remain anonymous but works extensively with trans people pre-transition. They were asked by someone “why do you think that’s so much [coverage of trans people] in the news at the moment?” This was their response:

In case you missed it (and honestly, lucky you), RFK Jr. just held a BONKERS press conference on CDC’s latest MMWR on autism. Below, we tell you what CDC's report actually said 🧵
