Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman. They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

this is literally never not accurate

damn nvivo is purple now?

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Cool job op closing soon 🌈🎓

The National Socialist Network held an antisemitic rally outside New South Wales Parliament today - astoundingly, it's emerged this afternoon that they did this with approval from NSW Police. www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw...

you could recieve a million dollars every day for two thousand five hundred years and you still won't hit a trillion btw

also in addition to affirming his priorities he was fully like "whether you voted for me or not I look forward to serving you" and rhapsodized at length about the city and his love for it (the way he always has). yes he sounded victorious after his victory, did they expect asmr?

if you're an academic using visual ai slop there's a 0% chance i will take your work seriously. at this point i'm almost sorry i ever said anything bad about corporate memphis style 💀

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

My critical analysis of the anti-trans astroturf group, the LGB Alliance, has just been published in the special edition of the Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies. I recommend the whole special edition - it's open access, no pay wall. bulletin.appliedtransstudies.org/article/4/1-...

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

Weird that so much of the Australian coverage of this presents "democratic socialist" in scare quotes, as if it is some brand new, fringe idea. Politicians here openly and proudly described themselves as democratic socialists decades ago

There are more of us than there are of them.

can we talk about the women ages 18-29 though??? how is that not the story here

Dick Cheney passing on the same day as a Muslim socialist wins NYC is definitely evidence of a higher power.

adding to this: I think anti-trans ads will still play a role in GOP primaries (b/c they're transphobic). & *some* Dem pundits will still blame trans ppl (b/c they're transphobic). but hopefully most voters now understand these tactics as scapegoating & won't fall for them bsky.app/profile/assi...

returned from leave to find i've been nominated for TWO early career researcher achievement awards for my work on queer studies in education - one in the education faculty and one at the whole-university level 🥹

I really can't emphasize enough that OpenAI is, as Dr. Gilliard has described in the past, a social arsonist enabling racism, and I urge colleagues in education using OpenAI's products - including ed-tech platforms that incorporate its products like Khanmigo and MagicSchool - to stop.

it's so wild that nobody seems to give af about this

The Harriet Tubman Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies is hiring an Assistant/Associate Professor in Black Feminisms. Read more about the position and apply at https://go.umd.edu/WGSSBlackFeminisms🌈🎓 #AcademicSky #Blackademics #PhDSky

this has to be coupled with the things that *don’t* count as a scandal: an array of harassment allegations, covering up Covid deaths, staying in a race after losing the primary, etc.

@aoc.bsky.social from the top rope.

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

200 billion dollar valuation btw💀💀💀

The kicker here is pure cinema.

officially on leave and off to travel through asia next week 😌

i DEEPLY hate the term. it's patronizing, it's a stupid euphemism, it plays into the transphobic notion that cis people are humoring us, it's epistemological oppression to avoid saying the word trans, 90% of the shit cis people do isn't called "gender affirming", etc it's fucking trans healthcare.

ok, I am officially designating vie a no-skip album

So much for the (terrible) social media ban not including games. We’re already seeing proof that the ban’s definition of social media is broad enough to be applied to any internet service or website the minister of the day wishes to ban. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

basically begging for foreign interference in the form of hard-right cash 🥴

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage
