Trans rights are non negotiable. It’s like a foundational aspect of a better world

World's most expensive golf cart.

How to change a swastika that cant be removed

‘Venture capital is killing more value than it creates,' author and tech activist Catherine Bracy argues in a new book, World Eaters. Silicon Valley needs to focus more on solving real-world problems and less on fast profit, she says.

I produced one good sentence today! time to go on vacation for seven weeks

The thing about nazis is that every iteration of them will be dumber and more evil than the last, because thats what you have to be to see the last version of them and go "oh yeah thats so cool"

In "Shake the Disease," Depeche Mode dared to rhyme "there" with "there." Respect.

Less than a week left to get this amazing bundle of books AND!!! help trans people! 🌈💜 #booksky #romancelandia #bookdeals

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Joining the war on old men yelling at cloud on the side of old men (Which is to say, this is a good video worth watching, as is Technology Connections in general)

I'm chronically 10,000 words away from being done with this book 😅

Everyone needs to stop calling them billionaires & call them robber barons. billionaire has a neutral connotation to many, the definition of robber baron is 'a person who has become rich through ruthless and unscrupulous business practices', that's what they are and that's what you should call them.

this is the way 💯🏳️‍⚧️ A WORLD WITHOUT TRANS PEOPLE HAS NEVER EXISTED AND NEVER WILL on behalf of me and grogu and all the other space gremlins stuck here on this planet… thank you 💜

Mitch McConnell made political obstruction his life’s mission

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

This is absolutely evil.

Over 2000 people chant “Tax the Rich!” outside the RI State House.

Doing this while your child's mother is frantically trying to get in touch with you

*cops after finding 10 dozen eggs* We've acquired 6 dozen eggs being smuggled through the border

Not fresh observation but the idea that “government should be run like a business” is an exceedingly stupid one that fundamentally misunderstands the purpose of a functioning democratic government. Redundancies in the event of any problem occurring are the point, not a failure or “bloat”

obvious to most people who will see this, but worth stating directly: it doesn't really matter if the person being targeted is cis or trans to the people who want this shit enforced. partly because it enforces a specific idea of gender presentation, but also because it still drives a wedge anyway.

Valuing diversity is not a crime Installing white men in every position of power is not a meritocracy

"The raids that the feared agents have carried out in recent weeks, ignoring the promise to arrest only criminals, and the intrusion into places of worship, which for years have been off-limits to arrests, are causing many evangelical believers to question their support for the Republican"

Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

They all Nazis. The quicker we actually accept this without dancing around it, the better we'll be equipped to deal with it.

You have died of procedural norms.

Showing up to a town hall and registering your disgust with DOGE is the best thing you can do right now.

This cannot be overstated like people used to be legitimately afraid of getting their asses kicked for wearing the wrong kind of shoelaces

Dr. King said of all the inequalities, inequality in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane. The proposal by MAGA extremists to cut YOUR Medicaid to give the wealthiest Americans a tax cut is inhumane. Light up those phone lines! (202) 224-3121 #DontCutMyMedicaid

Be queer. Be relentlessly and unapologetically queer.

THIS IS A MUST-READ PIECE. Please share, off Bluesky as well as on it. Most people *do not understand* how harmful these short-sighted cuts are going to be - for our economic as well as our physical health. 🧪🛟🩺

Update: The White House is already backing down on this. Keep calling your reps. Keep pressuring them. Along with your reps, the white house phone number is (202) 456-1111. Use 5calls.org to get all your reps in one place along with a guide. www.nysun.com/article/whit...

Me being a broken record on this: Don't trust consumer-facing "AI" for anything.

I must once again reiterate: this was in no way because of me and me alone. Magica Riot would not be here without the work of: @ambisweetiepie.bsky.social - art @rowanchurch.bsky.social - story editing @tokenweirdgirl.bsky.social - copy editing @gelidspace.bsky.social - audiobook narration

“put it on his fucking gravestone”

My U.S. Rep, a Democrat, held a town hall and explicitly said that THE REASON she was speaking out louder now was because she got so many calls and emails. DEFINITELY YELL AT THEM. It’s the only language they speak. It’s literally how they gauge public opinion.

STOP USING AI FULL STOP

I don't eat eggs, but I couldn't help but noticed the glaringly empty egg section at Natural Grocers today.

Finally a Political Movement I can actually get behind:

Groland is a legendary French comedy show about a fictional country. They aren't always good, sometimes reactionary, but when they hit gold, they hit gold.

elon musk using IVF and CRISPR to ensure all of his children are male and then one transitioning to female boiled his brain so much he ends society as we know it is like the ultimate expression of family being the oldest kind of empire for the most pathetic kind of humans.

"hopelessness" is kind of an insane-looking word

The news remains shit so why not enjoy this video of someone trying to clean a water bowl for tortoises while the tortoises repeatedly try to get in it? (Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DF0jAMl... )

Ah, when you're a copy editor and you know you wrote a bad sentence, but you keep going because fuck it.
