i am baffled by AC discourse. access to air conditioning is a human right that is increasingly necessary everywhere in a world with worsening effects of climate change and you are functionally adolf hitler if you do not agree with this basic fact.

I appreciate how Codemasters constantly makes games where they hire the best available actors to play out B- or C-grade scripts written entirely by people from the planet Mars

Keep it away from the RDR2 team

After trying every fix in the book for CONTROL, I have concluded it's unfixable.

I live in a building built in 1962 over a group of shops. We cannot install a heat pump. I do not have sash windows, they are crittal style, there are not in window ac units that fit in those. Idk about the grid, my man. These are objective material realities for me.

I've just found out this heatwave killed a very very good friend of mine last night, so do forgive me if I have absolutely no patience at all for "lol it's not even that hot" takes on here.

Lots to say about this quote from Phillipson but I think a key element is how cis people are understood as 'biological' and therefore as having material needs (services, spaces) where as trans people are an 'identity' and therefore only have cultural/recognitional needs ('not being pilloried').

I've sent this to HotDoc via their patient support form:

OP has since updated with a quote reporting having gotten a visit from the Feds for this post. There are people in the comments clucking about how they should have known better than to fedpost. Buddy if this is fedposting then the concept is meaningless

Apt reminder that the specific, narrow reason transphobes want to place trans women in mens' prisons is that they view it as institutionalised corrective rape of an undesirable group. The filthy little cowards shiver with barely concealed glee thinking of sexual violence inflicted on the "deviants".

You know, even for a member of red team, this reaction from Kellie-Jay is remarkably, unsettlingly cold.

Thinking about how when I went to the nominally informed consent gender clinic in my city and the doctor I was seeing found out I was in therapy, he immediately imposed a six month waiting period

Update on this: The practice, who I am willing to trust, have advised that the issue arises from the interaction between HotDoc (their booking and appointments system) and Best Practice (their records management system). I'm going to follow it up with those folks now.

She fucking lied. Yes, we knew it. Yes, we knew they knew it, but here she is, many years & suicides later openly admitting she fucking lied. Anyone citing the Cass Report as a valid document is a despicable, rancid cunt. No exceptions. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you ask anyone except white people what thier culture is they can talk for hours. Ask an Aussie and they'll tell you it's beer pies and footy with a good slap of larrikinism( coloniser word for deadshit misogynist)

Also, 110°F summers are pretty common in Australia. Now I, an Australian, personally start bleeding from the eyes if it gets over about 85°, so *I* can't handle it, but we have plenty of European tourist traffic in summer and I've never seen them complain, so ...

What do we think of this mates

I do sort of think that if anything could force cis people to experience the kind of discomfort about their bodies that gender dysphoria entails, it would be this kind of non-prosthetic uglification. It really just directs attention to all the worst parts of you

As my self treat from this year's Centrelink payment I bought Codemasters' GRID LEGENDS, which is currently at an 80% discount on Steam. The game has FMV sequences and ... I'm pretty sure the driver I'm having the obligatory racing game deadly serious feud with is Ncuti Gatwa?

I'm saving this and sending it to every person who says we just gotta trust that she's secretly working super duper hard on trans rights and definitely not doing the minimum no they wouldn't abandon or ignore or sideline us, they just see us as contemptible upstarts who need to learn their place

This is the woman we're supposed to fucking believe is ACTUALLY fighting for trans children in NY hospitals?

MLK had a shit load of guns. Read "This Nonviolent Stuff Will Get You Killed". There was no "anarchist cookbok". People who spout ahistorical nonsense like this person are fascists. They are saying this in response to an article about the Prarieland protestors sentenced to 50 years in prison.

lmfao so we can throw the idea that she's actually fighting for trans kids right out the window because Mamdani is significantly to her left and he isn't doing that shit either

They should make an isabelle which isn't constantly experiencing an unpleasant body sensation of some kind and which is smart enough to do something. Like literally anything would do

Stay gold, Ponyboy. yes i said yes i will yes

it's wild that the same people who are like "we need to chemically alter men in order to make rape impossible" are also like "we need to throw trans women in prison with unaltered men", just ????

i think their gamble is that we'll just kermit the second we catch a charge for something

Doing the WARFRAME "that tongue tho ... / That's my SISTER!" thing with Durandal (Ben Starr's character in MARATHON 2026) and Cortana (HALO)

Any possible demand that trans women make, no matter how “extreme”, is a deeply moderate and co-operative compromise.

A lot of people are rightfully pointing out the V-coding these trans women *are already facing* but they're also - again, already - now part of the Trump regime's stated effort to "cure" trans prisoners by experimenting on us.

No one should mistake that not only did the vast majority of these defendants do *nothing but show up to a protest* but several are trans women who will now spend the rest of their lives being tortured by the state. This was targeted. This was a show trial.

if you're cis you need to read about v coding. the Wikipedia article puts very plainly the torture that regularly awaits imprisoned trans women across this country. after that you must do everything you can to prevent your trans comrades and loved ones being snatched for resistance or anything else

Honestly when your comrades are getting sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for moving a box of left-wing magazines, it's time to brush up on your BPP history and tactics

Jewish people must be safe wherever they go. White people need to stop having a constant ego wound that they take out on Jewish people! It's *your* fault that you are not the main character— of your own culture! You did that to yourself! Stop taking it out on other people! NYC will always be Jewish!

This is another way in which white supremacists harass American Jews—the lovebombing is a threat. this is the "sympathy" of narcissist patriarchs who are itching to commit family annihilation.

I'm just going to say it: When the revolution comes, everyone who has ever worked in the legal profession in the UK will have to be placed under the most severe sentence unless they can prove their innocence before it is carried out.

some of this is sheer grift but a lot of it is sending the message that if you employ a trans woman you might get sued for a hundred thousand pounds

It's great that Digital Extremes' best known release before WARFRAME was "WARFRAME but in 2008 and it's coverslop"

Somehow willing an audiobook version of Veyne's DID THE GREEKS BELIEVE IN THEIR MYTHS? to manifest out of the aether

... Nope

I used to have a skill that I was good at, something I'd put my ten thousand hours into. That's long since gone fallow and I've gotten dumber and now I've got nothing. I'm just not good at anything. I may very well have brain damage.

The constant UK dampness that is fog and nonstop rain at 15C, becomes at 40C the air itself literally refusing to let your body cool down no matter how much you sweat.

I don't know if I'm really an anarchist — I'd like to be but I keep vacillating. I do, however, share this view on electoral politics. Bit sad watching my friends twist themselves into knots to justify how whatever scummy thing Polanski or Mamdani did was actually fine.

so many people do not understand what it means to be unemployable. you think getting a job is just putting yourself out there, but when you receive rejection after rejection for even simple jobs you are left hanging by most of society, even supposed economic allies

I have very little head for strategy and, unfortunately, I think it may be incurable
