I want to see big corporations fall. The only large-scale organizations that should exist are those owned & governed by the people who actually do the work. It is time we replace predatory hierarchies with worker-owned cooperatives that prioritize community over soul-crushing profit.

This Palestinian family have been through hell. Our governments put them there. We can change their lives. Please donate whatever you can.

Since Dave is trending, I do wanna reshare this great piece of investigative work by Michael Hobbes, that goes into what actually happened with Daphne Dornan, the trans woman whose suicide Dave explicitly exploited to push hate speech. Dave is such a POS. michaelhobbes.substack.com/p/dave-chapp...

Leaving a company always comes with that nagging question: "Did I make the right choice?" The unknown is scary, and walking into it takes a lot of energy. But sometimes, the only way to find a better fit is to step through the fear and trust the move. One step at a time.

One year on from trans exclusion: Over 100,000 Women Say ‘Not In Our Name’ 🎉 As NION Women’s letter in support of the trans community surpasses 100,000 signatures on this notable day, we look at how far we have come... #NotInOurName #NIONWomen #OneYearLater #WomensRights #TransRights

Properly labeled tiny beast

There's a reason why great comics have historically avoided punching down. Because it doesn't stay in the comedy club. It inevitable filters out into society to cause actual harm to the communities they're targeting.

No, that's exactly what Chappelle was doing and it's why trans people criticized him for doing it.

Here’s a feed cleanser. Dogs catching treats.

If you're a journalist who is still on substack, it is NOT ok.

I’m happy to share some personal news! I’ve accepted a new position as Firm Administrator at Brigantine, P.C. starting May 11th. I’m looking forward to this new chapter and staying local on the North Shore! 🌊

I’ve said it before: our constitution is more progressive than our reality. This article on the 30-year wait for gender-affirming care in SA is a perfect example of the "implementation gap." We have the protected rights, but the assistance on the ground just isn't there.

Monday night wrap-up! I just got back from speaking at Western Kennebec Indivisible and will be up bright and early in the morning. Jim from WCME, 99.5FM in Midcoast Maine will be interviewing me for his morning show at 7:30am. #mepolitics

Incredible performance by Tuks today! 🦁 Winning a record 6th Varsity Cup title after a tough match against NWU Eagles is a massive achievement. So proud of the team for making history. Stripe up! #VarsityCup #Tuks #Rugby #UP

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”

A future to look forward too! Lets make it happen.

Thank you Hungary 🇭🇺 for giving the world hope! ❤️

Watching the news from Hungary today feels like a deep, collective exhale. After 16 years, the impossible suddenly became possible. It’s a powerful reminder that no system of control is permanent when people decide they’ve had enough. Hope isn’t just a feeling; tonight, it’s a landslide. 🇭🇺✨

Unapologetically sending Borat GIFs and memes to my highly religious family back home today. If being “evil” means hitting send on a “Very nice!” or “Great success!” then I’m leaning into it. Wawaweewa! 🇰🇿🖐️

Years ago, I wrote about how Trevor Noah’s early work hurt me. He had growing to do, and so did I. Now in 2026, living in the US, I watch him non-stop. He brings me laughter and a piece of home. We both made mistakes, we both grew. That’s how we become better. Thank you, Trevor. 🇿🇦❤️

Before I told my wife’s relative to fuck off forever, I asked how Orange is good for the economy. She said she "believes" he is. "I believe" is not a plan. Information, analysis and a real fucking plan actually mean something. You can’t build a future on vibes while you ignore reality.

Without that leadership, the Trump administration will continue to trample on our right to health. We can’t afford to wait. Write me in for US Senate in Maine. AndreaForMaine.com

In previous drafts you would appear in front of the draft board, they would find a diagnosis (or previous arrest) for homosexuality/transvestism/etc (classified as 4-F back in the day), then send you home. I suspect they would just do the same with anyone with a gender dysphoria diagnosis

We’re proud to include voices like @natashadevon.bsky.social MBE - journalist, campaigner, and long-time advocate for women and young people - in our growing movement of women speaking out in support of the trans+ community

I got the job! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳😭😭😭😭😭🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Reminds me of a radio host in SA who tried to "school" me on transphobia before an interview. I told him to fuck off and gave the producer my therapist’s number. Cis people love acting like the authority on a life they don’t live. If you need a lesson, call a pro. I’m off the clock.

W A R C R I M I N A L S !

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Apr Axios Anti-trans hate crimes showed a small (6%) drop in prelim. FBI numbers but are still 98% above avg and nearly twice the next category. Based on ~3m trans people, the rate is about 1/10,000. Anti-Latino and anti-Sikh hate crimes hit record highs for 2025.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Apr Even as Trump admin, red states and IOC struggle to define sex precisely so they can oppress trans people, new book by trans historian Beans Velocci argues that it doesn't actually exist in new book, "Sex Isn’t Real: The Invention of an Incoherent Binary."

At 46, I’m finally seeing the "why" behind how my brain works. It’s a total revelation. I’m currently wrestling with whether a formal diagnosis is worth the energy and the cost. But all I know right now is that for the first time, things actually make sense. I’m finally understanding myself.

Honestly, "staying home" is the most underrated hobby. After a long day of dealing with the outside world, there is nothing better than closing the door and just existing in your own space. It’s the ultimate recharge. 🏠✨

@ltteoal.bsky.social This you too? 😱🫣

Skyrocketing -- cartoon this week for Business Maverick over at @dailymaverick.co.za #artemisII #moon #costofliving

If your quest for liberation leaves anyone behind, for whatever reason, you're selfish and willing to abandon people cause you got yours. Real shit behavior.

HAPPY NEURODIVERSITY WEEK March 14 to 20 - better late than never! (tell me you're neurodivergent without telling me haha - always just a little bit late 😊)

History’s "terrorists" are often today’s heroes. Nelson Mandela: On US terror list until 2008. MLK: FBI’s "most dangerous" leader. Angela Davis: Called a "dangerous terrorist" by Nixon. Malcolm X & Black Panthers: Targeted as state threats. Empathy is only "extremism" to the status quo.

Freedom of speech in the U.S. means nothing if calling out the immoral war by America and Israel gets you labeled a "terrorist." If caring for my fellow humans makes me a terrorist, I'll be one for life. Jesus was also a terrorist in the eyes of the state. Let that sink in before you look away.

It's still incredibly draining to do this over and over again.

🖕🖕Proud Lefty!🖕🖕

Wow!

That awkward moment someone makes you laugh even though you live in hell. Got to love Owen!

Prof, your are so diplomatic. He is a fucking buffoon!

The U.S. refers to itself as the 'Land of the Free,' yet 55 men wrote a constitution 250 years ago specifically to protect their own interests. You have to ask who is really being lied to here. For a country this young, there is still so much growing up to do to realize it’s all just a facade.
