Received no new donos for #settlersaturday. Can we get this moving today for #settlersunday ? 💸💕

In August, we got a bit of extra money from a generous donor, and I used it to expand into coverage of trans life in American prisons. This piece, by incarcerated journalist B Speaks, describes the chaos Georgia's forced detransition regime, currently halted by the courts, wreaked in one prison.

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

Tomorrow marks two years since the Israeli military killed beloved Palestinian professor, writer, and activist Refaat Alareer in an airstrike on his sister’s home.

this is legit hilarious considering his role in mitigating the massive Indigenous response to Canada invading Wet'suwet'en territory that we're all supposed to have forgotten about

A ridiculous coda to this story: A USTA source tells me that Trump wanted to hand out the trophy to the winner of the US Open men's final but the organizers said no and compromised by displaying the trophy on the balcony of the Rolex suite where he was sitting.

Torture is a feature of life in thousands of US jails and prisons. It’s often blamed on “guards,” but someone had to design this contraption, build it, plan its use, and run it up the chain of command. Judges and lawyers had to create a legal regime where this stuff pervades for decades.

Just a reminder that GoFundMe campaigns are so thoroughly vetted that they literally write up news articles when there's a scam. If you can, send some bucks. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fa...

Abolition is the only way forward. These institutions do nothing but harm.

“the USPS must turn a profit” makes me want to set things on fire they put a clause in the fucking constitution about postal service, that’s how important it is nothing in there about “only if you can make money on it”

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

People experiencing miscarriages in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. (Published Dec. 2024)

Is this a problem? Or is it a made-up issue like "people are on welfare/food stamps who don't need them" where even the STUDIES to find out the levels of fraud not even the means-testing infrastructure costs FAR MORE than what's lost of fraud? Also, the fuck do you care what other people do?

The Oklahoma House of Representatives gave that girl an award for writing a terrible essay? For getting a trans person fired? This whole thing is an op.

hey @nytimes.com i had the scoop on this story hours ago. add a reference in your story to my name and outlet. thanks. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/u...

The thing about all the anti-trans sports panic: people argue this stuff while talking about elite level sports, but because there aren't actually a ton of superhuman trans women blowing away the competition, the people actually affected end up being those who play sports for fun/socialization

No for real, I'm guilty of wasting too much breath on the broad myself, every time you mention Olivia Nuzzi you need to respost an actual good writer's work to support them instead.

NYT: Is the President tired? Ms. Leavitt: Would a weary President be able to deliver a racist rant like that one?

The US is deporting people who are not Mexican to Mexico, where they do not have legal status to live or work and are forced into underground economies.

Maybe after every pitch I said add “Oh yeah, and the NDNs are blue” I think it would up my sell ratio.

A Democrat won ROSWELL?! …Roswell GEORGIA? Holy Shit.

This should be everyone's reaction to this news 😭 Roswell is not like other northern ATL suburbs. It's further out in the cuts, it's very affluent, but less educated. It's whiter. It's also got an RFK-ish crunchy woo streak. Yay for Mayor Mary

Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.

Everyone involved in this child’s kidnapping is going to hell.

At the end of Native American Heritage month, remember every time you follow or share LakotaMan1, a colonizer gains a bustle. So, just don't do it folks. www.dailydot.com/irl/lakotama...

🗣️ ain't no power like the power of a union, cuz the power of a union won't stop! We're EIGHTEEN DAYS into our national ULP strike and only getting louder. Let's hear it for baristas in Gardner, MA for holding the line! #nocontractnocoffee

This was also the playbook with abortion. It took DECADES, but the reactionaries refined their greatest hits, honed them on trans folks, and now they can deploy with breakneck efficiency. Can't believe I used to think our institutions were slow to change.

it’s fun watching people see what trans folks have been warning of for years. the media has no capacity to inform about the politicization of health care

y'all better watch this today!! it's such a wonderful piece, full of heart and understanding for pain. share with your friends and family! www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOTu...

We give it directly to Dallas Goldtooth

remember, folks,

Wait. Wait. Use this one. With the safety tips on it. That's #PublicHealth

This interview with Any Lucia Belloza is heartbreaking but everyone should read it. These are the lives our country is destroying. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

shoutout to all my fellow queers for whom family of origin sucks around holidays (and those of us who are still working on finding that found family). everything is pretty bad right now but being queer is still fucking amazing and you are amazing and not alone and i love you and am grateful for you

Really glad this site doesn't have drafts

Pies are fine. Cake is superior.

The saddest thing about being over 40 is my reflexes are insufficient for modern platforming games. My kids beat my ass at alllllllllll the video games, which is sufficiently humbling. I just wanna play Hades for more than 10 minutes before I get mad. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK

So I have listeria (I'm fine, it's one of those mild food poisoning things for me) and I have to know RFK Jr exists...wrap all this shit up. Shut it down.

I broke my rule and we 100% already put up Christmas decor. It's been a rough year 😭 I want a little joy.

If I could beat ONE myth out of the American populace, it would be that there are "centrist" voters. Honest-to-God, canvassing I have met people who believe you should be able to have abortions up until your due date and that smoking pot should put you in jail until you die. There is no "center"

"The Indians"= 🚩

An excellent write up on White journalists/people needing to know when to back TF up. This is a complicated intra-communal issue and not for white weigh in

This is horrible news. www.oudaily.com/news/ou-prof...

This is so incredible. You have to see the photos. These workers held the line for THREE YEARS www.publicsource.org/post-gazette...

There are storytellers you hear before you see. The ones who quiet a campfire and pull you in with fear, laughter, and truth. Cary Thomas Cody is one of them. redpopnews.com/the-heart-of...

Not enjoying the return of aggressive fatphobia.

My friend just fuckin showed up with a corncob pipe & that’s when it hit me that we are all in our 40s which means we get one new accessory slot

Anyone remember that cease fire? "Gaza hospitals running out of supplies as airstrikes continue"
