right wing bigots have admitted - the “trans women in bathrooms” issue - the “trans women in sports” issue and - the “trans kids getting surgery” issue were all MADE UP TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY are you paying attention?

The common theme im picking up among the young republicans in the politico article leaked chat is that they all should have visited a chocolate factory in their youth

@barbara-nz.bsky.social Ok, this might get me back into church, if only to yell at any priest who tries to mansplain to God "you are omnipotent, ackchully"

People in the Epstein files praise person in the Epstein files

I love Oregon. Move over Ducks! Frogs and Toads are at it now!

Found in the Bärner Brocki, a thrift store in Bern. Switzerland. From now on this is what I'm going to tell people is what runs #grok.

Civility is used by people with power and privilege as a weapon to delegitimise the grievances of the marginalised. Outrage from these groups is likewise inverted (outrage at having privilege challenged vs outrage at being stomped on). Do right. Defend the marginalised against the powerful.

Why does a chatbot get to have pronouns? And why the fuck do you care about whether it had sex yet or not?

Nick Valencia, who has been doing amazing reporting, just wrote about this: “These Are Abductions.” Newlywed Husband Says Wife Taken During Green Card Interview open.substack.com/pub/nickvale...

Not only this, but this fucker got paid money to come up with a different vaccine regimen. He wasn't anti vax at the time, he was just a greedy, spineless grifter. I want to believe in hell, just so I could believe you will go there, Wakefield you dozy fuck.

So dad, it's been a year. Every time I find a daft computer game meme I think of you. Miss our Friday night calls and rambling conversations. GNU dad. #FuckCancer

Ok people. We know acetaminophen doesn't cause #autism. It was a useful distraction for a short while though, but we can stop focusing on it now. Trump. Release the #EpsteinFiles you vile coward.

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

So... Who in power in the US will take this #Tylenol thing and be the first to try to sue the mother of their child for "giving them" #autistim because she used OTC painkillers when pregnant? It only makes sense as a weapon, otherwise why the fuck bother?

May the ghost of Douglas Adams haunt Elon Musk's every waking moment

Drs (and nurses, teachers too) only ever strike as an absolute last resort - and because they care about YOU and the service they can provide to you. Unsafe staffing impacts you. Exhausted Drs impacts you. Underpaid Drs means they LEAVE. I stand with our Drs today, and always. #nzpol

Can we normalize wokeness?

Trump is posthumously awarding Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Vance flew his casket on Air Force 2. A memorial is happening at The Kennedy Center. State Dept and Pentagon are taking steps to prevent criticism of Kirk. This is NOT normal treatment for an extremist. It’s a message.

🎶🎵 Block away, block away, Block away, block away. Trolling aggravating skeets? There's nothing much to say. Their only purpose here is spreading chaos and dismay So block away, block away, block away. 🎵🎶

There’s likely an organized campaign going on to incite you to say stuff that’s gonna get you suspended or banned (or worse). The right has mentioned the Bluesky reaction to this incident repeatedly. They’re here to find targets. Don’t let them rile you up and goad you into something you’ll regret.

New philosophical question: If someone shoots and kills another person on a campus with open carry laws, and they get away, are they not, by definition, a "good guy with a gun"?

Without comment:

To all in the US right now, be well and be safe. My thoughts go especially to trans people everywhere, who will be blamed for Charlie Kirk's murder, regardless of who actually pulled the trigger. May his pointless life and untimely death not turn to further bloodshed.

The prequel trilogy is best evaluated not as a work of art in itself, but as an event that happened to us which spurred many other artists to great works.

you can't take Broom Boy away from us

Enough about Tom Phillips. Man was the poster child of toxic masculinity. I want to know that the children are going to be cared for, their physical and esp mental health needs are going to be met for the next many years, but most importantly that mum gets to hold them again.

BE TOUGHER IS NOT A POLICY!!!

They cut the part where I said I was incredibly grateful to my NZ customers for stepping up to support me 💜💜💜

He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...

Fighting dirty is throwing sand in their face or kicking them in the balls, not shooting the people they are trying to shoot and saying “now will you listen to reason?”

Yep. Why is there never any pushback on this claim, which was debunked by the non-partisan PREFU? This is why people still believe their Better Economic Managers™️ schtick. #nzpol

#QuickMovieReview #KravenTheHunter So... Where is Calypso's movie? Deus ex machinas the movie twice, is excellent with a bow, fucks off. Fuck the angry wealthy man with power story on repeat. I want to see what the hell happened on Calypso's summer camp as an origin story.
