Alongside Netflix + Squid Games, this makes at least twice now that a big streaming service put tons of money into a show about how fucked up capitalism is only to make a reality TV show that straightforwardly copies the horrific situation the show used as satire. Seems bad!

Most of the worst trans discourse you find on here is either less bad or entirely absent in the real world outside the internet, and that's because the majority of the worst offenders don't leave their house and/or are essentially closeted beyond pronouns in their bios.

They have to know that releasing the Epstein files redacted like they are is much worse than just not releasing them right? They're just confirming without a reasonable doubt that almost everything in them are things they don't want us to see!

The thing about anyone who thinks AI is worth anything in regards to art and storytelling is that they genuinely don't understand what developing a craft is.

LEAVE THAT POOR MAN ALONE!!

2028 is going to be so stupid guys, like you think we'd be prepared for how stupid it will be with the last decade of experience but it's going to be even more stupid than that

As if the publishing industry wasn't already bad enough 😭

I've become much less diplomatic (as have many of us!) about trans people who are closeted/don't transition in any way speaking over those of us trying to survive in the world while our medical care is legislated away—if you can't understand why that is you're willfully dense.

inventing a corresponding but opposing theory to social contagion where transsexuality is like tulpas—the more they fixate on us and the more transphobia they bring into the world, the more of us they conjure up into existence. you have no one to blame but yourselves!

David Brooks is just a cog in a bigger machine but as an individual has probably done more to launder evil under the guise of moderate common sense to normie American libs and moderates then maybe any other single figure, hard to think of a contemporary cultural figure that deserves more disdain!

This one is special to me, makes me feel giddy like a kid on Christmas morning and I just want this feeling to last 😌

Cannot underline how important it is for younger (in transition) trans people to be in community with those among us who have been doing this longer—one thing that it teaches you is that we're going to win

I'm so grateful that I have my mental health under control in a way I couldn't have imagined when I started medical transition at the start of Trump admin round one, because if I didn't wow I would really not be able to function right now given you know, everything!

Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

wonder if the prize will be something like "the state / territory of the winning contestants get universal healthcare (and/or some other basic social safety net) for the next year", really raise the stakes

lol lets fucking gooooooo

To paraphrase Jules Gill-Peterson, trans surgeries have as much of a robust history and body of evidence behind them as any transition related care. To put another way, the way some of you talk about trans surgeries (and those of us who get them) is gross!

1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

that ratio goes craazzzyyyy

The ubiquity of transmisogyny in queer spaces makes it so if you aren't a trans woman, I only trust you if I know you have gone hard for us against someone else being transmisogynistic, even and especially when it incurs a social cost. Want our trust then earn it!

hard not to feel shitty about girls who transitioned like a year ago, make videos of themselves talking like authorities, and suddenly gain huge platforms and become like "the voice of transness" for media pubs despite having zero grasp for media cycles around transness

there are she/theys everywhere for those with eyes to see

everything everywhere is so fucking stupid all at once

does anyone with internet detective skills or special cinema knowledge know if Bi Gan's Resurrection is going to be playing in Portland Oregon or honestly anywhere with an hour or so drive? feeling desperate

if it’s true that “trans men don’t have privilege over trans women” then transness is almost certainly the only category that’s true for—if you are a trans person who believes this, it’s almost certainly because you don’t really believe transition is real

If you're like "how do you know it's an op?", I'm sorry to inform you that acting like nonsensical fascist arguments are made in good faith is what allows them to keep moving the goalposts until argument against them is no longer allowed—you've already accepted their framing and you're the mark!

Amazing how obvious ops looking to further the goal of expelling trans people from public life will always be eaten up because of brain empty both-sides libs who are like "invoking the bible (vibes only, no real citations) in a psych class to say tranknees are bad is fine, marketplace of ideas bb!"

extremely excited to tell all of you that in the newest chapter of Chainsaw Man the War Devil turns Oregon into the Oregon Sword (crushing all of its residents in the process) and the sword is literally just the letters OREGON

Equating chattel slavery to harboring willing fugitives fleeing a holocaust really is a new one I gotta say

“Progressives for Israel”, “Progressives for the Third Reich”, etc. etc.

just learned about this…truly beyond parody

Most who detransition that don’t make it our problem still consider themselves part of the trans community, having just retransitioned into something different. Those who detransition and then choose to make it our problem are almost all deeply unhappy re-repressors.

lol well!

The way the pissed off lawyer pinned that two hour video exposé on her onto her profile and complimented it shows how the whole attention economy is poisonous—the idea of reporting to expose doesn’t work the same when everyone is just building their audience/brand.

some people are taking this as me arguing for prisons, and like I think it should be very clear that I am a prison abolitionist lol

Funny how this moment feels so momentous and should change literally everything but also we’ve had so many other moments that have felt similar over the past handful of years and then there were literally zero consequences so

Imagining a scenario where Trump holds a press meeting and comes out as gay to cover for all the pedophilia and rape, but then remembering that would never happen because for his base being gay would be way worse

When people are like “if we abolish prisons, where do we put all the really dangerous people who are a threat to others?” it’s like, well if thats such a big deal then what about the countless soulless psychos who are very much free and run almost everything in this country?

no more THC drink, no more incest in porn, everything is ten dollar, except pad thai is now $20, your new healthcare is a gun with a bullet in it, here's the address of everyone in Epstein's discord,

sitting Trump down on this couch for a little talk

billionaires are evil and not your friends, especially strategically apolitical ones whose fame is built on the parasociality of their fans! you can do anything you want, but if me making fun of making a pillar of your personality love for that shit is gatekeeping then I’m gatekeeper #1 babyyy 🥰

sorry for challenging your third identity (loving a billionaire who makes mid pop) 😔

If it came out that a political candidate I had supported was very obviously and credibly a pedophile, I would simply stop supporting them

I don’t actually think being a trans woman swiftie necessarily means you’re spiritually vacuous and was mostly just making fun of Sarah McBride, but I do think the strong anecdotal correlation between the two is *interesting* 🧐

hanging this on my fridge

Genuinely why are they coming after the two biggest easily accessible over the counter pain medications lol

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

I know this in theory but it still blows me away whenever I am re-reminded how all the most comically evil people in this country are quite literally in the same big club

Biggest red flag for trans women is being a swiftie—like I’ve met a couple cis women that can kind of get away with it but if you’re forged through the fires of transmisogyny and your taste hasn’t developed past TSwift obsession there is something spiritually vacuous about you

vaxxed?
