Adrienne Stein, Eve Of St. John, 2012

Given trans people are less than 1% of the population, getting it wrong 4% of the time means you are 4x as likely to misgender a cis woman than spot someone is trans. This is without accounting for the effects of hormones, surgery etc. Absolute madness from the EHRC chair. A "human rights" body.

Amazing world we’re living in. This is so much better than the flying cars I was promised when I was a kid.

We had an incident in town & the person who was at the very least the figurehead of the pride movement if not the main organizer was arrested for some dealings with children. Fully endorse his arrest…but it’s also now a major issue for the LGBTQIA community, and yes it’s been violently targeted.

Lightning bugs and lightning strikes happening now (heat lightning) happening here now.

Today, no matter what goes on at work or in weather or in the squatdump that is our government...I will be quietly celebrating that I just paid off my car loan entirely 10 months ahead of schedule.

118 years ago, on the 30th of June 1908, an explosion of between 3 to 50 megatons TNT equivalent occurred over East Siberia in what is known as the Tunguska event. It is the largest impact event in recorded history and probably the result of a meteor air burst. #otd #history 🗃️

An iPad inside Independence Hall tells visitors that a second floor room was used in the 1850s to hold individuals “accused of crimes of the period.” Originally, the screen read “accused fugitives of slavery.” @fallonroth.bsky.social and I discover more retelling of history by Trump’s admin. 🎁 🔗

Ghosts and ghouls are warming up... 123 nights to #Halloween! 👻🎃

Wow holy shit www.them.us/story/daught...

Turns out that sometimes reading a book will rekindle your connection with the invisible numinous elements in your life. Reading equals thinking & feeling and that focus can (re)connect you.

Seriously GenX? What the fuck is wrong with you.

If you’re a devotee of Pan or of Decadence, you will love this magical novel by @ninaantonia13.bsky.social Highly recommended! 📖 ‘The Greenwood Faun’ by Nina Antonia, published by @snugglybooks.bsky.social

Two of my downy thornapple (datura inoxia) plants are already blooming! It's a nocturnal bloomer so the best time to catch the flowers is early morning when it looks like moonlight is coming from inside the trumpets.

Here’s a rose.

Seeing centrist Democrats in Congress posing a stronger opppsition to progressive challengers and socialists than they ever have to fascism (Fascists directly target Socialists first historically but oh oop that’s a longer analysis)

This has passed through my feed multiple times this year, and it’s amazing how much more true it feels every time.

Status…rib making…

The right: actual demons are persecuting us, we need to impregnate as many teenage girls as we can about this demonic threat Normal people: what the fuck Centrist dems: give us between $5 and $50 to find the middle position between you and my esteemed colleague on the other side of the aisle.

Methinks that what they call my shadow here on earth is my true substance.

Oh hell yeah thanks Ontario Federation of Labour

As a reminder…we don’t have any cats…

You can’t tell me that she’s not posing for the camera…

If you get the impression that our yard is a wild kingdom…welllllll…

June 26th - A Journey with Goddess. Clementia - Roman Goddess of Mercy and Compassion. The heat has been brutal all week. But our school closed early, and we had a picnic in the park. Feeling grateful for small mercies. Thanks be to Clementia, whose name means 'gentleness' and 'mercy'. #WitchSky

Perfect reminder that you don't "own" digital media when you buy it. PLEASE DON'T LET PHYSICAL MEDIA DIE.

Do. Not. Use. Fucking. Sticker. Mule.

Tell me, is it a sign when I have three of these big funny looking chickens sitting in my backyard.

Seems like a thing a whole bunch of mutuals might be interested in…

okay i love this. Roost. a messenger app where you pick birbs, and the message takes as long to get to the recipient as the bird would IRL. Get a free bird when you sign up with my code WZ2RF2. I'm garius on there. roostsocial.app/invite/WZ2RF2 here are my current birbs

So Climate change means maybe snow in parts of California in June, sweltering brutal heat in Europe and rainy with nights in the 50’s through June and July here…

Bear documentary narrator, don’t you know I’m a child of the US 80’s & if you tell me the bear’s weight in kilograms the only comparative reference I have is loaves of cocaine on a Miami speed boat.

🚨THE KIDS ACT IS AN INTERNET SURVEILLANCE BILL🚨 Congress is rushing the KIDS Act toward a vote. This blend of KOSA, the SCREEN Act, SAFE Bots, and other bills is a single package that is a threat to privacy and free expression for ALL internet users. 🧵(1/10)

They said we couldn’t make an even lower budget version of Tremors and who’s laughing now?!?!

Here's how new takes are restoring Robin Hood's dark side: bbc.in/4oAn9sT

1. She changed her ID to comply with Kansas’ new anti-trans law. Now, the state wants to put her in jail for having an inaccurate license. Kris Ripper is being charged with driving with an invalid license—a class B misdemeanor—after a cop refused to believe the ID the state forced on her was valid.

Seems like a place that may have a security camera or 80 pointed at it 24/7.

Just to confirm… there was blood spilt today…accidentally, but the gods always get their due.

I don’t share much political content but these are incredibly well done.

the heat is on help a brother out
