boy do i have a book for you bookshop.org/p/books/wild...

For the most part, trans folks who are disabled / chronically ill face insurmountable barriers to emigrating out of this fucking hellscape

Good for her! What a fuckin badass.

Popping in here quickly to say that the courts do not have first or final say. Ever. Trans people [of all ages] deserve every single thing that everyone else does. The illegitimate court is illegitimate.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Equal Protection Clause does not protect everybody equally. Instead it upheld the Tennessee law that seeks to eradicate trans kids. My latest in @thenation www.thenation.com/article/poli...

If you let me know an author is local to our library system, there is a 99.995% chance that it'll increase my likelihood of purchasing it. I have to leave a bit of room for something that would get me fired....but OTHER THAN THAT, I'm probably going to buy it. Because why not?

you absolutely do not have to reply to a "bluesky sucks" take from a loser with <80 followers who writes for a uk craniometry journal

But of course, Israel isn't an ethnostate enacting apartheid, that just couldn't be.

This.

there are a handful of terf trolls trying to get a rise out of people. just block them.

We’ll see?

The takeaway from the Tucker Carlson Ted Cruz interview is that the American public has been so badly cheated for so long by the people pretending to be the political media that when anyone asks a basic follow up that an 8th grade schoolpaper reporter would it feels like cutting edge journalism

Sotomayor scoffed at the majority’s attempt to recast Tennessee’s ban in a neutral light by claiming that no minor of any sex can get gender affirming care for gender dysphoria, and that any minor of any sex can receive the treatment for other diagnoses:

Guess how much of that revenue went to authors.

this is the most bullshit logic that I have ever seen and my rage CAN NOT BE CONTAINED. the supreme court does not need to be deciding WHAT MEDICAL CONDITIONS ARE TREATABLE and no one should ignore this just because this time it wasn't yours, holy shit

Adriana Smith did not give birth to a baby. She was used as an incubator, cut open, and a baby was taken out of her lifeless body. A Black woman was used as a science experiment.

In light of the Skrmetti decision, donate to trans focused orgs right now. Trevor Project is good but there are others doing important work: Trans Youth Emergency Project, Trans Lifeline, Transgender Law Center, Sylvia Rivera Law Project, Advocates for Trans Equity, Black Trans Travel Fun, etc.

Twenty years ago, when one of my best friends told me she was trans, she talked about how much better it'd be in the future, bc trans girls would able to stop puberty and transition more easily. They wouldn't be tortured by their bodies the way she had been. Shame on you, John Roberts. SHAME.

I'm so angry. Children are going to die. CHILDREN ARE GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS RULING

Grok publicly disagreeing with Elon Musk by use of peer reviewed research is objectively hilarious.

Republicans would rather children commit suicide than transition. That's the bottom line.

Apropos of the flippant posts I see around this app, if you or your family have not fled the horrors of encroaching fascism and war and other manmade disasters please put some respect on the devastating and impossible calculus of leaving your life behind.

Supreme Court allows Tennessee ban on gender-transition care for minors www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... God fucking DAMNIT

a morning bunny for us all...

The cultural myth is bigger than the truth every time. People are often freaked out by the no gloves thing but it is still better for the books not to wear them.

a nation on edge holds its breath as the former host of celebrity apprentice huddles with his advisors, the wrestlemania ceo and the former co-host of fox & friends weekends

Throwing Palestinians under the bus didn't prevent the democratic party from losing in November 2024, and doing the same to trans people will ensure the party is done completely. Human rights are non-negotiable. End of.

I think his target audience is more moderate liberals than actual conservatives. And I do think he does some good there, like in his pieces on trans issues in particular, of giving people facts in an easily digestible format to tip them to the correct side of things

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

it should be illegal to move your cat off-camera during a Zoom meeting

One of my local 7/11s is always putting up these foreign language signs trying to introduce all the tourists to products that are popular among the locals and I think that’s adorable 🥰

I still need to read this but I LEGIT saw ivermectin for sale on TEMU last week!! 😩

No, I'm not going to let downplaying the consequences of a second Trump term go.
