Hey, do me a favor and do an internet search for "free fridge" and your town's name. And then go drop some stuff off when you have some food you're not gonna eat. Got some takeout with an extra wonton soup you're not gonna eat? Take it to the free fridge. Someone needs it. Seriously.

Once again, many, MANY of us who are “always online” aren’t here because we eschew “grass touching”, it’s because people in our physical vicinity can’t or won’t meet us where we are, usually due to ableism. It’s great. I hate it. It leads to people assuming online stuff is less of a commitment.

I think some people need the word "genocide" to mean "the movie Schindler's List." It's been applied to the Holocaust so much that people reject it for any other deliberate extermination. Which is stupid, and exactly why "trans genocide" needs to be the phrase you use, because it IS THAT BAD

I’ve burned a lot of bridges the last few years with found-family friends. I hate it. But it’s made me a lot stronger. I’ve gotten great at my boundaries. And if you tell me you don’t think Trans Genocide is real as a queer person, you better bet I’m going to light your ass up

You can absolutely be addicted to porn. You can be addicted to anything. “Porn addiction” is just the latest queer hatebait. Except that’s old still and not new or the latest. People can have real trauma around porn! That can be true without using it a pretense to be oppresive NO SWERFS!

Since seeing some refreshed discourse about it reminded me, let me drop a hot take (that got the trad live losers and smug nerds angry at me on 'the other site' A-hem. "Porn addiction isn't real, was never real, and everyone saying it is is dumb/fascist/or a dumb fascist"

i think we've all mostly seen jurassic park and event horizon, among other scifi-oriented stuff, but i honestly also really liked sam neill in hunt for the wilderpeople. the kid in it is the same kid from deadpool 2 and he's brilliant as well. aw man i'm so sad, he seemed like a really cool person

Among all of the tother things going on it is not comforting to know that our planet (and us) are pretty much fucked because of what the rich assholes in the petro and coal industries have done so they can get richer...

You sound like a mom regurgitating rumours about sailor moon secretly being porn, or pokemon being satanic. We currently exist under some of the most oppressive censorship towards all artists, let alone adult oriented ones, and by talking like this you're empowering that same stupid mindset.

Having PTSD is cool because so many newbie creators or authors just throw it on characters and so I end up seeing clumsy portrayals everywhere and it’s kinda funny if sometimes frustrating

I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell and Rep. Tom Kean (missed 4 months of work) are/were essentially on paid sick & medical leave. The same employment protection they’ve spent their careers blocking other Americans from having.

Don’t know who to credit for this. But it is how I feel.

If you enjoy my posts and interact with me, feel free to DM me if you want my Discord info and want to connect I’m again going to have to back off the platform, this time instead of because of the news it’s because my empathy is just too high and my brain is already at capacity from my own circle

Denial is honestly pretty terrifying and there’s I think no real amount of reading you can do to get it I considered myself extremely self reflective and I’m still stunned at what I was able to bury

Are trans women "farming clout" (a thing that men say when they see an uncouth woman) or have trans women been completely correct on every step of the fascist march for the last year while being told to shut up and be grateful it's not worse?

I guess we just have to wait until the mass incarceration of and mass smoldering graves stacked high of trans people before we can call it fascism and genocide. "You're not already incarcerated in concentration camps or a carcass heaped on top a mass grave of your kin! Stop overreacting!!!" 🤪

i always felt the same way about "biological ___" because it implies that we're not what we are if I wasn't a biological woman, estrogen wouldn't work on me the way it does on AFAB people i'm just correcting a medical imbalance the same way an anemic person has to take iron supplements

you can tell how aggressive language is if you watch how mad cis people get when you apply it to them

my gender is not a simile

Centrist Democrats: "Nothing can be done except for more tax cuts. Also we love the police, the military and some wars. Also we will say 'kitchen table issues' twice a day. Vote for us."

I feel like the text and the title of the article might need to be working a bit more together Maybe talk about the fatphobia and sexism inherent in the system a bit But yes they are available and they do weight loss, that is true!

I know a bunch of trans kids who have benefitted from puberty blockers - not to 'explore identity', but a) to be confident about what type of puberty they wanted, & or b) to have longer to think about if they wanted to pursue fertility preservation before HRT.

I live in Brighton & know front line NHS workers. They are aghast at what is happening to the trans community. Those who study medicine & are well informed are outraged. Labour is bringing in a new leader who will be keeping to the party line. Please email & say that you stand with trans people.

I am so exhausted with companies being treated more humanely than people

"Our democracy is dying in 4K and it's our job to fight," said a 22-year-U.S. Army veteran on July 4 in Philly. He was among hundreds of veterans in Philadelphia marching in the "Freedom over Fascism" protest against President Trump.

Another excellent video. You can't always tell.

⚠️⚠️⚠️EMERGENCY!! TRANS PERSON ABOUT TO BE HOMELESS!!⚠️⚠️⚠️ Homeless trans folks are disproportionately targeted & killed on the streets. Falco is a good friend, DON'T make xem a statistic!! PLEASE DONATE! THERE'S NO TIME!!

Academic philosophy is overwhelmingly white men, like people of color & women are just a sprinkle there, & white supremacy & sexism are deeply entrenched in it. That's not news to anyone in philosophy or they're lying.

(In case you're wondering—and I've not written about this before as a Trump biographer but probably should've—the reason Trump rarely says "thank you for your service" or "thank you for [x]" is because he thinks that rhetorically it takes attention off him to say "you" or "your")

Can't believe they just can this stuff now

I’m feeling about as unpatriotic as you can get these days I’ve been mad for so long Mad about how LGBTQIA2S+ treatment since I was a teen Mad about BIPOC treatment since I elementary school Mad about disability rights since my 20s Mad about how we treat territories Colonialism Genocide 🇺🇸

About the US constitution. I only learned today that a lot of people in the US don't know that the US constitution cribbed heavily from the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy? Is this a thing that only those of us who grew up in Haudenosaunee lands learned?

Sony is dead to me.

I once said about Avatar “with all that money they could have spent a bit more on the script” Someone said “how jaded are you?” I said “how jaded are you to think the bar should be to at low?” Anyway that was about a film, a thing you can have opinions on, legal, unlike my existence in Kansas🏳️‍⚧️

For more than a decade, the all-white judges of a Louisiana appellate court ignored thousands of petitions filed by prisoners, most of them Black, who claimed they had been wrongly convicted. Efforts to expose the injustice went unheard. (Published Nov. 2023)

By speaking out, this Major has likely relinquished his right to millions of dollars of future benefits and entitlements of his service. Health insurance, pension, etc. When Hegseth was threatening Mark Kelly an other veteran members of Congress, that’s what he was after. Not a small show of courage

Orgs like this need help all around the country. According to me, it's your patriotic duty to donate to at least one today. Here's a nice place to start! bsky.app/profile/bree...

This picture is so it! Get it? The perturbed & anxious Black woman in the center surrounded by white supremacists? She's your average DC resident! So when you hear in the news these hoards of them have descended on DC, they're here to target us & that's what we deal with! @jl3001.blacksky.app

For some reason, I've been hearing lack of sleep positioned as a bad habit or choice irresponsible people just don't realize causes long term harm. So, reminder that most folks who struggle with sleep do so from insomnia, delayed sleep phase, jobs, illness, or other non "habit" or "choice" reasons.

Was going to buy a cute vest at a site until I looked closely and saw an AI garbled signature on the vest lol. They don’t even try to hide it. It’s so obnoxious because all they had to do is actually pay someone to do the design and it would have sold me on it.

We’re actually well past the parody future Robocop predicted and we are in Muppets parody territory at this point. Part pig. Part puppet. All MWAAHHH *gonzo trying to hold press conferences while the world burns behind him trying to explain how it isn’t happening*

The most predictable trend ever. Medical personnel letting women die because they’re too scared of the stupid fucking abortion law. Instead of this madness we need to legalize abortion on demand, no reason required.
