Transgender studies professor Dr. Susan Stryker tears Gavin Newsom a new one while accepting the Transgender Legacy Award from the California state legislature 🔥🔥🔥 @susanstryker.bsky.social

This nihilistic meme maximalism had nothing to do with being trans. No ideological leftist screed no pronoun pins, it's most similar to the Rupnow shooting last December, and the white supremacist Black incel shooter from January. All heavily referential, contradictory, and intentionally incoherent.

Slightly diminish a band: Princess

you know grok is truly elon's child cause it hates him

The WSJ was allowed to report from an "aid site" last week or so; they heard shots, the IDF denied there had been any shots (from anyone, not just them). The IDF people didn't realize that the WSJ got the shots on video. So this might be further tightening bc of that. (cont'd)

You may not like it but this is the best economic system we can come up with

So if you have a they/them in your life, please understand that we may not correct you, we may not press the issue, and we may not even care what pronoun you call us. But we're paying attention. We know who cares to give us the basic human respect of honoring what we say about ourselves.

Message from a group of prisoners in Iran’s Evin prison following the Israeli strike www.instagram.com/p/DLQBWyOtJDw

Holy shit a bunch of ICE prisoners who weren't getting fed broke down a fence and escaped this fucking rips Moreover, ICE must be destroyed www.nj.com/essex/2025/0...

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

i was initially like "nice gesture but what use is a popemobile in providing medical care in Gaza" but then i remembered it was built specifically to resist gunfire and explosives so yeah they might need this

Can folks in the Conclave fandom share their favorite fanwork/fan projects? I remember seeing a zine and a video game? And I just want to learn more because the part of me that was born and raised Catholic is so intrigued by the fact that this movie has a passionate fanbase.

Need an acronym (akin to SAD) for the way my wanderlust, ambition, and generalized ambient longing go into hyperdrive the second the weather hits 60 degrees

Keep thinking about how the Nazis had to physically go to Hirschfeld’s clinic & loot it & burn the books themselves. Meanwhile proud American organisations preemptively delete and fire because the king told them to.

Macklemore 👏👏👏🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Every time you do this, you are required to 1) venmo that trans person at least enough for lunch and 2) donate an equal amount to a trans person's GFM, a trans mutual aid fund, or an organization specifically helping trans people.

Anti-ICE protesters are blocking both sides of the 101 Freeway near the Alameda Street exit in DTLA. The CHP has since closed that portion of the freeway.

Please be careful out there this month, folks I know who have never gotten Covid in all 4 years are getting it in this particular surge. Follow the example ACT UP is setting and use protections this Pride!

Already seeing posts on Facebook about people who went unmasked to Pride events catching COVID. Be safe out there, folks. Masking up is how we outlive the people who want to kill us!

Years ago a friend of mine said "Not all queers are peers"

FY 2023: ~5.6 billion for SUNY, ~2.7 bil CUNY; 1.05 bil State Police, ~15 bil 'Homeland Security', ~10.2 bil 'Public Security', 525 mil State Police www.budget.ny.gov/pubs/archive...

Spent some of today blocking North Avenue to tell Apple to stop contributing to genocide in Gaza and Congo, and to tell this particular store, Apple Lincoln Park, to stop firing and retaliating against workers for being Palestinian, wearing Palestinian colors, & trying to organize a union.

How long are you contagious with COVID-19? Here's what the science says: ➡️ Most people are infectious for ~10 days ➡️ ~80% of people test positive for 5 days after symptom onset ➡️ Only ~30% of people who test positive have a fever ➡️ Presence of symptoms is an unreliable indicator of infectiousness

Do you ever think about how there are going to be hardly any antique/vintage items from this generation because of how cheaply and disposably made everything is?

Free Palestine.

Guy was literally yelling Free Palestine but we're unsure of his motives

Gaza is the issue of our age. It is the most intersectional issue of issues. What have we been doing the past twenty years via advocacy in America to fail Gaza this bad? America should have woken up by now. If anyone had been learned on any level… A 2% dip in support of Israel from Nov-Jan? Horrific

Two-state solution this, one-state solution that. We need more love for the no-state solution. The dissolution-of-all-states solution.

You don’t get to parasocially adopt someone who did not ask for your help and told people to knock the babying off. Also “generating extra emotional suffering for themselves” equals willfully reporting the news so others can know. Sick as society. This is how genocides happen.

Not a single day passes without me thinking of you. We need your voice. I took this photo of you taking a photo of a strawberry you picked with your hands, your hands that had on it some ink and some words from a poem you read aloud to us that day before we played pun games.

My new year's resolution is to stop trusting white people, because we keep letting each other down. 🙄

I recently remarked that one of the reasons I disbelieved Israel's accounts from the start, despite having family connections etc, is bc I've spent my whole adult life watching my own country commit atrocities and lie about it.

I have, until now, purposefully avoided reading fanfic set during lockdown, because it has felt too real and too raw, and I need my fanfic to be an escape. However, my partner sent me a lockdown fic, and it's surprisingly soothing to refuse the pandemic memory hole we've all been forced into.

Choose your fighter!

We do holiday names over here, right? I waited all year for this:

Remember, remember the time a white government invented a te®®°®ist plot to purge a racialized religious minority. But yeah, have fun with those fireworks and burnt effigies.

It's Ace Week and I have nothing to say except fuck empire and free Palestine
