💕 HI PLS READ AND HELP UR LOCAL DISABLED VERMIN 💕

HRT did more for me than create physical changes. Within three hours of my very first dose, a noise in my head I never knew was there just… stopped. The world got quieter for the first time in my life, and it’s stayed that way ever since. I’m at peace inside in a way I had never been before.

we're not going to win by telling other trans people 'we're all going to be forced to detransition or die.' we're not going to win by insisting that there be 'no parties or sex until after the revolution.' we will not win by fear and shame. we win by doing that which keeps us alive

This comment period ends today, 5/23, at 11:59 pm ET. Please do comment asap if you believe the government should allow us to get COVID vaccinations. I can't believe we even have to petition them about this, but here we are.

google maps-powered location guessing game geoguessr is the latest to strike a deal with the saudi government-backed esports world cup, but its community isn't taking the matter lying down. instead, they've staged a full-scale revolt that's rendered "basically all" popular community maps unplayable

Disgusting This *is* a dictatorship

I'm looking to chat with nonbinary and/or trans speakers of several languages, especially including Irish, Hindi, Arabic, Hebrew, Italian, Russian, Polish, Icelandic - but also any other languages (aside from English / Spanish / French). DM or email me!

STOP: Don’t panic–organize! @thefreeradical.org and I consulted for weeks with experts about the bill attacking Medicaid for trans people. We find that advocates can still kill the bill or mitigate its impacts through direct action and community solidarity. 🧵👇🏽 www.madycast.com/p/dont-panic...

this is excellent work & contains call/email templates at the end with callouts for the specific legislative mechanisms democratic senators could use to kill this part of the bill. read the piece. make the calls. there’s no earthly reason any senator’s phone should stop ringing in the near future.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

My doctor changed my diagnosis to "Endocrine Disorder" in November without me asking--because he saw the writing on the wall. Ask your doctors to do the same--Just to protect your access to life-saving medication.

I've never seen it so well put before.

Folks, the House advanced the disastrous reconciliation bill, with the destructive 10-year State Ban against regulations for AI intact! We now MUST mobilize our calls to the Senate! Call today! If you need a script the post below offers a fantastic alternative! We only have one chance! Lets go!

na moral? aula de cidadania👏👏👏

Whenever folks bring up the history of cops and government officials undercutting protest movements and escalating police response via duplicitous action, there is inevitably a chorus of disbelievers. Well, this is as as clear and current as it gets.

The biggest mistake I see in discussions of trans people's healthcare is the idea that hormones and the like are some special service just for us when really all kinds of people access the same health care for all kinds of reasons but they are *withheld* from us because we are trans

ive been saying this shit so much recently

This is also a good article, very similar to the process my researcher friends and I go through when trying to nail down an old released date. www.doublefine.com/news/when-wa...

I don't care what kind of mental health struggles you are having, if you don't help me solve the sliding block puzzle in the greenhouse we are going to be trapped in this mansion forever!!!

looking to chat w/ folks that have worked in localization and translation for a piece i'm working on! would love to get a few perspectives on the process, especially when it comes to quality control and working directly w/ non-ENG scriptwriters. you can email me at kazuma . h . [email protected]

If you haven't read this, please do. Sit with it. If you're cis, imagine what it must be like to feel like this. May puts into words what many of us feel.

Take Two are cowards. This is their true face.

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

please, cis friends, call yr senators. this is very very important. 11th hr stuff

Good opportunity to highlight the accessibility-first discovery tool @abletoplay.com There is a lot to be learned about what accessibility in games looks like from examining how the tool judges games. Just filling out the profile for my preferences revealed things I wasn’t thinking about before

yo wtf fuck you if you steal and copy authors’ works. fuck you if you use gen ai and call yourself a writer. you’re an opportunist hack using a theft machine. 📚💙

The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans. Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect. I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”

this is like worse case scenario for me and many other trans people on medicaid. i will likely not be able to access life saving care if this goes through. can't state it any more - they're trying to eliminate us from existing. please call your reps now

Two days left to comment. Takes mere seconds. Saves lives. If you’ve been feeling helpless— this is a thing you can do! It’s been effective in the past. Healthcare is a human right. Disability & health justice is for everyone. Be LOUD. Our enemies are spineless, and we outnumber them.

will delete this like immediately but i needed to tell someone my ex added our long term relationship to his digital resume?? 😭 what the fuck

The hill... is silent... the residents... are evil... the rose... do rule... the ground... it's haunting... the siren... it's forbidden... the frame... its's fatal... the tower... clock.

This article does a great job of showing how inferior machine translation is and the sheer drudgery and frustration of being expected to post-edit rather than just allowing human translators to do their thing from the start, since like all creative work, people are so much better at it than AI.

As predicted by everyone except median voters and members of Congress, allowing the federal government to be run by antivaxxers does come with consequences for everyone. COVID is still a leading cause of death for “healthy younger adults and children.” And unvaccinated individuals infect everyone.

BREAKING NOW: "all major world maps" on the online game GeoGuessr have been privated in protest of GeoGuessr's decision to participate in the Esports World Cup in Riyadh. map creators write that the EWC is used by Saudi Arabia "to distract from and conceal its horrific human rights record." full:

Hey everyone! As a reminder the best Steam sale of the year for thinky games, Cerebral Puzzle Showcase, starts next week. It's going to be an absolute *banger* this year and we have some incredible deals, so save up a few bucks if you can and play some of the greatest the genre has to offer.

Hey it's another one of those inevitable things turning out to not be.
