Hiya Bluesky! Some of you know me as the socialist trans woman running for State Representative in Bloomington, Indiana. What you might not know is that my sister @shydale4house.bsky.social is also running to unseat a moderate Democrat incumbent in the district next door. Give her some love!

Facts beat fear: Denmark tracked 1,029,099 children for 21 years and found aluminum-adjuvanted vaccines linked to zero extra cases of autism, asthma, or 48 other chronic conditions. Decades of real-world data underscore vaccine safety and the power of science-driven public health.

"All technology, including AI, is embedded in real socio-economic systems, which have power asymmetries, structural failures, interests & conflicts. There are no technological shortcuts to structural problems. There is no technology that in itself corrects what is structurally political or economic"

This message hits hard.

An autistic woman being shown all the lives she has touched reportedly remains unconvinced that life is, has been or will ever be “wonderful”.

One of the lead authors of the subtypes study compared earlier autism research to assembling a jigsaw puzzle, only to find that the pieces didn’t quite fit— because “the box had always contained several puzzles, shuffled together.” There isn’t just one autism, she said: “There are many autisms.”

On behalf of everyone in The Resistance movement following the massive EPSTEIN coverup, I want to wish all my fellow Radical Left Scum the happiest of holidays!- ♥️, Mar🐫

Ivy de Riva is a mortal with trust and trauma issues, and Emmerich is an immortal Litch. Even good couples have bad days now and then.

Postulate a spherical dude

Loving "Name Her Holy" a fantasy novel about dysfunctional cursed trans lesbians.

Rook: the lighthouse isn't the safest place for pets.

I have a giant folder full of word docs that are each a few sentences (or a few paragraphs) spelling out a cool story idea. I come up with new ideas every day. It's trivial. Turning an idea into a fucking story is excruciatingly hard work.

News snark: people who demand that queer people be excluded from schools, congregations, community groups, and military and civil service 364 days of the year really shouldn't be surprised when queer family don't show up for Christmas.

I don't fully trust people who believe that bi people have an inherent need for nonmonogamy, or sex for that matter. "No means no/yes means yes" includes monogamy and celibacy. It encompasses not just "not now" and "not tonight," but also "not ever" and "cold day in hell before I do that/them."

When I say "sexuality can be fluid for some people" what I mean is that having experienced changes to my mind/body interface on hrt, I'm not about to police the lived experience of people who report significant sexuality changes correlated with medical or life experiences.

I'm just straight up calling person of interest the "gay subtext cyber punk show"

It's fascinating how in the 60s, this was supposed to be a vision of a terrible, dysfunctional family, and yet it's the healthiest family ever. Way fucking better than the Munsters, I'll tell you.

i stopped making "trans people are the canaries in the coalmine for fascism" analogies when i learned that miners would actually try to save the canaries after they passed out instead of going "wow, 1,000 more canaries and i might start to worry!"

Del Toro's Frankenstein was good, but how can you top the blind hermit scene of Brooks' Young Frankenstein? youtu.be/OosxP46c_60?...

DJT’s reaction to the philes happens to be exactly the same as someone who knows they’re guilty and desperately scrambling to cover that up at the 11th hour.

And the campaign to get a trans person banished from their job and education worked

Ivy de Riva: Trans phobia directed at her or other companions. and being intentionally cruel to bystanders, especially servants. Even though she is estranged from most elven communities, she does not appreciate prejudice towards them.

we based the game on real life

It's truly remarkable how there will be news organizations and journalists who correctly identify that RFK is a menace and that HHS can't e trusted when he pushes stuff about vaccines or Tylenol causing autism... but cover the anti-trans stuff like "Well, HHS says so, and we should trust HHS!"

Lazarus Project: You thought time loops were bad? Here's an even worse scenario....

One thing I like about Date Everything are relationships where it makes perfect sense to take the hate path because a character is an asshole.

Ivy de Riva: terrorists hijack a holiday party and Rook has to save everyone before they summon Krampus.

Date everything but autism. You didn't have to shoot a love ray at objects in your house to have a dozen different things yelling for attention.

my #warframe wish for next year is to play as the funny cyber pajama jobbers. My mind can't help but wonder about what kind of stuff the average Joe in universe does for a living!

Ivy de Riva is a bi trans woman, but has only had a handful of relationships. She was lucky to have some good role models early, but doesn't talk about that time in her life. Only Fletcher, her "sponsor" knows that part of the story.

I was a kid once. And my biggest regret in life is that I never got a childhood without pain. Politicians should never insert themselves into the personal health care decisions of patients, parents, and their providers—and that includes trans Americans.

the brightest version of the future has you in it, thriving, existing as who you want to be. Let the adults fight for that world - what we need is for you to survive to live in it

Okay what the actual fuck this actually looks hilarious youtu.be/ZfNLApPCa8E

Notice how Trump and Republicans were having the worst couple weeks in the administration's history and they decided to pivot to hardcore attacking trans people?

19 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- The HHS is also going after 12 companies who manufacture binders for trans kids, alleging they are engaging in illegal marketing practices. Admin. is also seeking to de-classified gender dysphoria as a disability under federal law.

I love the fucking internet, part 972964386: "One Night In Bangkok" arranged and performed as a 16th century chanson. youtu.be/i3jHv0GZB9U?...

I just started my first fanfic in several years. Unfortunately it is an angst dump about sex with litches and bottom dysphoria.

I think my egg is cracked moment came with the pulse nightclub murders. I was taking care of my mother at the time after her surgery, and struggling to mask through that happening fifty miles away was a point where I said that I couldn't continue to compartmentalize my life into different closets.

LLM's are shitty predictive text generators that guzzle kilowatts like I chug Dr. Pepper. Machine learning is a valuable modeling tool to train computer systems on complex categorization and prediction problems.

Pro-wrestling legend Mick Foley announced this morning that he's parting ways with WWE over the organization's "close relationship with Donald Trump," saying the president's "incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me."

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."
