So let's look at the rhetorical similarity with a transphobic canard used by GC ideologues, "We're all non-binary". It's a bit rooted in truth, but it's deployed to say that deviation that is not "extreme enough" is meaningless. Effectively, it insists on a rigid medicalized diagnostic criteria.

“I spent 2022 and 2023 and much of 2024 trying to fight the lie that something was wrong with youth trans care. The lie won, now it's the dominant narrative.” Feeling the loss with Evan, and the lies about us which seem to dominate everywhere, from the statehouse to MSM to the break room.

Everybody gets hit with Body Stuff, but white women and the thinness thing is just diabolical. Like…they want y’all to look you’ve been surviving off cotton balls soaked in milk and roach carcasses.

i think enthusiastic LLM use is mostly a stack of cognitive biases, unacknowledged plagiarism, and unmet needs in a trenchcoat but also my main objections aren't about them being bad at tasks so i don't care if you think they've gotten better at it

Did you know? The air inside homes with gas stoves has smog levels (NO2) 50-400% higher than air inside homes with electric stoves — often at levels known to cause asthma in kids. Upcoming webinar on the new scientific findings: 4/8/26. Register now! www.healthandenvironment.org/che-webinars...

“Are swear words okay?” is the most common question I get about custom message mugs. No need to explain. You can absolutely send your Nana a mug with the c-word on it. My rules are simple: no slurs, no threats, and nothing that will get the secret service called on me. Otherwise go wild! 🩸 #pottery

Also, neither panic can establish that these populations are disproportionately likely to be trans. Lots of trans people present relatively normatively before coming out. Many transmascs I know (including me!) presented as mousy uncomfortable girls for many years.

They really paid 2 billion a day to do a Khameni is dead long live the new Khameni

My research is on working class women and AI and the ONE consistency among all of the interviews we’ve done so far is concerns about data centers and environmental impact. We do not bring it up - they do. Every single one.

GI Joe: Blackout is not a good game by any stretch, but I appreciate that the ONE unlockable skin for the franchise's most popular character is Trans Snake Eyes.

Man I'm gonna need every Democrat to be at least as spiteful to this administration as fuckin Tillis.

okay, Ill bite. What do you think the point of reading for and writing a literature review is? The process of reading and writing is crucial for THINKING. Your ideas are shaped by all of this, offloading it to gAI, no matter how "good" you think gAI is at it defeats the purpose entirely.

Lots of stuff in this thread is available with links to the shop. Thanks as always for peeking, and thanks for sharing your favorites!

Doctor: Over the last month, how often have you felt nervous, anxious, or on edge, or afraid as if something awful might happen? Me: Right? Solidarity, man. I feel ya. Doctor: No, I need you to tell me an actual number of days. Me: Oh sorry, I thought you were doing small talk.

They act like they can't change their own rules all the time. Don't ask me how I know.

One thing about me is I will watch 5000 hours of news bloopers. I will turn off Oscar-award-winning director Chloe Zhao’s searing portrait of parental grief, HAMNET, to watch me some news bloopers. Neither Shakespeare nor his wife ever called someone Deedee MegaDooDoo on accident.

📢 #MECFS needs political attention - and MPs need to hear from us. Email your MP (2 mins!) and urge them to attend the Parliamentary Friends of ME/CFS meeting on 10 March. Take action 👉 zurl.co/DG4nc#MECFS Let’s fill the room. 💙 #FairGoForME #MECFSAllianceAustralia

"In a lot of ways Ive spent a lot of time being the one person willing to say we're all afraid to die and afraid to lose our loved ones..." Oh really, Justin? You're the only one willing to say death is scary? www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmQt...

It would be really interesting to see how much a similar infusion of antibodies might help with MECFS & LC, too!

Not sorry, but I’m not ever going to find “jokes” about having HIV or syphilis anything other than unfunny and stigmatizing, no matter who they’re ostensibly made towards

if I were the House Dems I would simply strike now with a slew of impeachments on all fronts (Venezuela, ICE, Iran) that scoops up both Trump AND Vance as well as key admin leaders to turn them all against each other while panic is at its highest

A marketing employee from Vintage, an imprint of Penguin Random House messaged me asking for free pins in exchange for "exposure". On behalf of the author TJ Alexander for their book A LADY FOR ALL SEASONS. It was very disrespectful, exposure doesn't pay bills.

If you can, the Shingles vax can help prevent this AND lowers the risk of Alzheimer's!

Saw this post, wondered what use it be, and was not expecting 40k to be the answer!

It's nice to know that even in deep red Idaho people came out to protest him speaking at an event.

Today is a great day to...

Taking time to do this today. I grew up in an old logging town in Oregon, where I once made a lot of enemies by doing a school project on the endangered spotted owl. These forests welcome me every time I visit—I'll always associate them with home, with rest and peace. They deserve their peace, too.

Spicy autocorrect! No one wants to hear this in tech circles, tho.

When the AI bubble pops, few tools will be able soften the blow more than universal basic income and single-payer healthcare. The US absolutely needs candidates in 2026 and 2028 who are willing to advocate for these policies if our people are going to survive what comes next

I wish cops had to provide their own liability insurance. Uber drivers have to, so why not cops?

So here’s your morning insta block

A really difficult aspect of leftist organizing in the US is that we rarely have the funds to institutionalize our movements, and as a consequence our wisdom is rarely institutionalized and preserved. It's hard watching this happen over and over again when it comes to talking about war.

Husband found a game called Vampire Therapist which is exactly what it sounds like and the creators said they consulted licensed therapists when creating it so let’s see how this goes The game has a CW for all the mental health things so don’t read on/mute this thread if you need to 💜

Millennial here, troubled that Gen Z has it really rough in a different way: they've never seen the world we have. It's got to be very easy to spiral into nihilism and despair, to believe everyone is basically evil.

A photon checks into a hotel. The clerk asks, "Do you have any luggage?" Answer: "No--I'm traveling light."

I think "killing children is always bad" is maybe the easiest simplest position to hold.

And the verdict is in. The defendant must pay $10,000,000 to the professor she defamed. bsky.app/profile/zebp...

Went from "that's uh the oyster guy?" to "oh that's the totenkampf guy" pretty seamlessly

Psychology has a name for this pattern: hyperindependence. It often forms when someone has to self-manage too early, whether emotionally, practically, or both. Independence becomes a strength — but also a shield. #News

"It's faster and to just do it yourself then to ask for help." 👀

Essential reading. "We in the U.S. need to reckon with the fact that so much of our state wealth, capacity, and technology goes toward burying children in rubble."

Today is Disability Day of Mourning, remembering disabled people murdered by caregivers/family. Any journalist who portrays these stories as anything short of murder is doing serious journalistic malpractice, yet it happens so often. disability-memorial.org

I know I'm friends with and follow so many progressive and talented artists bc they're all depressed and haven't drawn shit in the past 4 months

No harm to children is my litmus test. No hemming and hawing. No saying a 15yo is different from a 5yo to justify child sex trafficking. No “they were already sick” to justify their starvation and denial of medical care. No “their leader was bad” to justify their deaths.

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” James Baldwin

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.
