Rt'ing this with my whole body and soul

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.

Now every day is trans day of visibility

Framing everything with a concession is conceding

Government efficiency is when every federal agency has to send a daily emergency email to its workers telling them to ignore another daily email from a different department trying to fire them without knowing what their jobs are.

Putting this on every self-eval now www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

okay but every fucking company that dropped anything remotely "DEI" so fast without any actual impetus to do so, preemptively for laws that were never going to be upheld because they weren't constitutional, needs to be fucking dragged into the street and stomped on forever

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

It’s like people don’t even appreciate getting offered containers of sperm anymore

even worse is that the trans man who was murdered, Sam nordquist, was a BLACK trans man. he was killed by five white people who have ties to antiblackness. while this attack was transphobic, I'm getting quite fucking tired of people ignoring his murder being racially motivated by antiblackness too

fantasizing about a world where an opposition congress responds to trump’s attempts to usurp legislative power by defunding the entire white house staff

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Bro got out-biohacked, skill issue

Something i can't get over is how often we read "too much focus on identity politics, not enough focus on the working class" as if you can't have a Politicized Identity and also be working class. Transness, as an ex. consistently framed in media as a by-product of education, & rarely through labour

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

the delusion that a loopy fake genius hustlebro "running" six major companies can do any/all of this competently with just a crowdsourced cabal of 4chan tweens is almost satirical art

If we live long enough, most if not all of us will become disabled. By age, pandemics, illness, climate catastrophes, organized abandonment, interpersonal or state violence, and working ourselves to injury/death. Disability injustice & defunding social support & healthcare are bad for you too.

these are the worst people and deserve worse fates than can be comfortably imagined

Massive, meaningful changes in governance done as a result of a ctrl-f for the word "transition." No one will ever believe how stupid this shit was.

Not to get political or anything, but if the US is to make it out of this, every single right wing think tank like The Heritage Foundation and The Federalist Society needs to be dismantled in its entirety, its source of funding seized, and its existence criminalized so as never to take root again.

If you're not following the lawsuits v Trump, your eyes are probably glazing by the flood of them. I recommend everyone read this order, bc it really conveys the degree to which two billionaires have just decided to start canceling contracts willy nilly. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Couldn't be clearer that Democrats aren't a party in the way that Republicans are a party. The GOP has an ideological project. They build power to accomplish specific things. The project of the Democratic Party is getting Democrats reelected. 80-90+% of Congress is, so it doesn't take much effort.

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power

What is happening to trans people is an extension of what can happen to all people who could be redefined out of existence. Which is all people. What is happening to trans people is a universal threat.

seen a sentiment from a few people now expressing or implying a desire to transition but feeling unable due to the current political climate. while fear of the future is completely reasonable, waiting for a "good time to transition" will waste your life. it will never not feel scary at first

If ur not in New York you may not know that the stonewall inn is still like a normal divey bar with fairly cheap drinks that supports local queer artists as a performance space, when it could have easily cashed in on being a cynical replica of itself. big ups to the owners

fuck these pig fucks

Here's three grim truths about what the MAHA EO may mean for trans people: 1) Transgender media will be deemed as a cause of mental illness, ADHD, and autism in kids, and censored on those grounds. This will pretext the reclassification of all trans expression as a symptom of mental issues. 1/

Was suspended from this account until I could provide documentation proving I am who I say I am… had to surrender personal information such as home address and gender marker… trans people who haven’t had legal name changes/updated documents yet beware before you put effort into building here

Hey guys, be aware that TERFs may be trying to spread around misinformation and bad faith interpretations of the Trans Literature Preservation Project. If you want the accurate story, please refer to the article directly.

In reference to the quoted text: Like... why can't one do both? Archiving is an essential form of activism. Did people miss that one of the first actions of the incoming administration was to attack language and texts?

Artists need to let this sink in: The thousands of followers who insist you stay there are actively hurting you at this point. You deserve a better audience who understands your rights and concerns. The sooner you rebuild, the easier it gets.

Tapping the sign again.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

It's devilishly hard to conduct business as usual right now, but also really fucking important when you realize that if you don't, its highly likely that nobody else will.

"But how am I supposed to find time for my art when I'm working full time?" Time theft. You commit time theft. You're already getting screwed by your employers. They're not paying you enough for the time you give them. Do it on the clock. Even if it's just a few words on a scrap of paper.

funniest highlights of the philly police scanner, a thread

Whoever gave the tip that adding profanity to your search will shut down the garbagey AI response is a saint. It's easy and it works.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

I read an article a while back about how millionaires have private bunkers in case of social/economic collapse and when asked about how they'd upkeep their heated pools n shit without resources they completely blanked out. they had no idea lol they don't know shit about fuck

Basically traps AI crawlers and sends them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they get stuck and thrash around for months. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

hm it feels a biiiiiit on the nose for the new administration to literally erase people who look like me

not trying to minimize the harms being done but please believe the country supports trans kids your enemies are made of paper
