Concerning!

I really don’t think I should know who Will Stancil is, and the fact that I do tells me I’m probably spending way too much time on here.

Reigning Game B champion here!

Natalie Wynn gets so much more hate than she deserves. It's not surprising since she's a trans woman, but it's always sad seeing so much of the hate coming from other trans people.

Why do people act like vague support for trans people having ”the same rights as everyone else” actually means anything? Obviously far more than 15% of the population opposes us in some way and pretending otherwise doesn’t help.

I think it’s funny how YouTube started offering me videos on autism almost immediately after I started searching for videos about trans stuff when my egg cracked. I wasn’t ready for another major personal revelation so soon, YouTube!!

Trans people in Seattle only care about women's hockey (which is completely understandable), leaving me with nobody to talk about March Madness with.

conservative evangelicalism is the direct theological offspring of slaveholder christianity and it contains all of its pathologies, part infinity

I’m super on edge being back in Texas, but at least Whataburger was there to greet me next to the gate

Only 3 years in and it already feels crazy that I ever lived as a man. How did I make it 28 years like that???

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails. it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

progressive christians would have an easier time convincing me of the sincerity of their belief in liberation if they were willing to honestly acknowledge and answer for the the literal centuries of genocide and abuse instead of playing no true scotsman or simply pretending it didnt happen

I hope I live to see the death of TurboTax

what really bugs me about the "trans people got ahead of public opinion" line is that it ignores *why* public opinion changed. it didn't just come out of nowhere, there was a deliberate push to make trans rights a wedge issue.

I generally feel pretty good about my appearance in the mirror these days, but I still hate the way I look in pictures. Which one is real????

i have no idea what i actually look like, is it: -how i look in the mirror -front camera pics -rear camera pics -pics taken by other ppl -lingering old mental image (boy) -regular mental image (smoll girl) -realistic mental image (tall girl) they all feel different what is real who am i

It’s my sincere religious belief that conservative Christians should be fed to lions for the amusement of crowds in sports arenas, and if you think that that’s hateful, then you’re not respecting my free speech and may be instigating violence against me.

Once you see it it becomes impossible not to notice the media consent-manufacutring machine that responds to literally every social crisis with the diagnosis that "women too free."

happy stylish but illegal monkey day to all who celebrate!!!!! by the way his name is darwin and he lives a farm now

I'm so glad I (narrowly) avoided having this guy's signature on my diploma, but Baylor is so disgusting for ever hiring him in the first place.

Richest country in the history of the world. Btw sorry about your cancer we totally know how to treat but you gotta die penniless in a gutter because you aren’t one of the twenty people we’ve decided to dig up all the riches of the earth for. Also we’ll murder your orphans if they’re gay btw

Tricked @mikaela1122.bsky.social into playing Panel de Pon with me at the Smash Brothers bar.

Walking around with two GameCube controllers in my purse 😎

Go fuck yourself

*screams*

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

Repression Queen by @imharperoneill.bsky.social was such a heavy read, but it's cathartic to learn about others who coped with dysphoria in a similar way to how I did while repressed. It was such an isolating experience at the time, and even now I feel weird talking about it.

people who want other people to stay in sad little grey boxes forever and never be happy in their bodies or desires are villains and cowards and they may be winning right now but by god they will lose as water smooths stone and roots break it, because that fierce joy is roots and water and life

I still hold one of the boys track and field records at my high school, and I think it would kind of funny to have my name updated on the record tracking website

every republican president of my lifetime has completely destroyed the economy

It’s an uphill struggle getting people to accept that Christians can be bad people. But the even harder truth that people urgently need to grasp in this time of Christofascism is that for some understandings of Christianity, to be a GOOD Christian is to be a BAD person. Denial makes things worse

Horrifying, insane scoop from @vivmccall.bsky.social . Five beatings of trans women have occurred in Seattle so far this year. The suspects have all been men. In at least one case, random men—strangers—have joined in on the attacks. Depraved shit. www.thestranger.com/news/2025/09...

So much if our current problems are tied up in a weird cult that continually thinks that all our long term crises are pointless bc human existence is going to get wrapped up within the next five years so why bother.

It's fascinating how, because the left is coded as feminine, criticism is "scolding," while all the shaming and blaming on the right is masculine and therefore not "scolding."

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

The Right has such a stranglehold on the media in this country. It feels completely hopeless.

Ironic that trans writers have been cautiously waiting to write our takes until the facts were known while every mainstream pundit in the country made the biggest, stupidest, most predictable blunders imaginable by assuming the shooter wouldn't also be far right.

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

if that news is true, don't say anything you wouldn't want to see screenshotted and spread all over right wing media

I'd like us to move past wondering how 10s of millions of Americans are morally empty people to an acknowledgement that this is they what they are, and that they are allowed or even incentivized to be that way, so we can grapple with what that implies about society and what is required to fix it.

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

cosign. i met James Dobson in person when i was a kid growing up in evangelical churches. that rat bastard is part of why i was subjected to conversion “therapy” as a child. his soul was as rancid as his rightwing ideology. rot in piss, you fascist fossil. the world is better without you in it.

the thing about dobson is that, like a lot of these guys, he didn't actually have a religion, properly speaking. he had a lust for violence against those he viewed as lessers, a need to brutalize those who couldn't defend themselves, and made that his religion. that is the religion of america

James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.

May James Dobson burn and rot below for all eternity. A cruel, venal man who caused grave harm with every breath he took.

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

i love guys who are scared of the city. they fuel me. i could lift a car just to spite them.

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

the coolest part about the elmo hacked posts is that the most insane people online are treating elmo like he’s a real guy
