I loved Lower Decks and Prodigy. Why not target the gap in the age demo and make a show about pseudo-teens?

Or we could provide an appropriate living situation for everybody and stop worrying about if somebody is morally permitted to be less productive than the ruling class expects.

*Hundreds of years of white men exclusively holding instructor's role, frequently to coerce sex* Can we even be sure this problem is really happening? We mustn't act rashly *The first generation of openly trans instructors arrives* They flicked you off, so now flunking them is political overreach

If you've made it to the end of this thread, my only request is that you share it with others. So many people suffered because of this denialism, and it frankly burns me up that this dark legacy has been made to disappear without a fuss. www.motherjones.com/politics/200...

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

Get off my damn plane, Charlie Brown

what the fuck you mean Public Health and NURSING (among everything else) is no longer a professional degree

Hey baby I hear those boobs a callin', 'stradiol and 'gesterone

I just want to say this right now, if a person demands to see my or anyone else's genitals in the bathroom i'm putting their face in the nearest toilet and flushing

DONALD TRUMP FIVE MINUTES AFTER MEETING ME: So Friends At The Table -- isn't that nice? -- They call it actual play, but there's kinda a network, they've got something for everybody. Star wars? They love it. What's, what is it? Video games? They've got guys reading Stephen King, it's crazy what they

The myth is circulating again that it was more radical otg activists and assimilationist gays ("boots and suits") teaming up that was responsible for queer communities' gains late '60s on. The history doesn't back this up. What actually happened is more revealing. 🧵 Let's start with Stonewall...

The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

It's Transgender Day of Remembrance and I just want to say that a world without trans people would be a rainbow with many colors missing. We are brighter and more colorful in this world because of trans people, and have lost too many too early. I love you for being more you than most of us can be

The CDC just updated its website saying "Scientific studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism." Adds "this statement has historically been disseminated by the CDC and other federal health agencies within HHS to prevent vaccine hesitancy."

The EHRC want to exclude women from femal single-sex spaces based on how "female" they look. This is off the scale sexism and misogyny. Millions of women will face harassment as result of this insanity.

Oh they don’t like the whistles? Hey everyone, they don’t like the whistles. If you use them it makes the armed goons sad.

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

Sharing the video of this because it’s such a ghoulish thing to say that I’m honestly in disbelief that I even heard her properly

IT: Welcome to Derry seems to be taking a new approach to Stephen King's problematic exploitation of the 'magical negro' trope. Because King's exploited characters are load-bearing, they can't be removed, so now Welcome To Derry presents them to us as being magical & exploited... by the Army.

Cis allies watching hormone access get cut off for trans people, there may be no more direct way to help than to seek an HRT prescription for yourself, and give it to someone who does need it

Capitalism is incredible. Sorry, former teacher, your retirement fund is gone because 5 guys who've collectively never worked a full hour told the banks to put all the money in the country into virtual girlfriend futures

This video is like 30 seconds of a great Parks & Rec cold open, followed by 2+ minutes of a conservative lady drowning in her own flop sweat as she tries to explain her stupid prank to the unimpressed people it was meant to insult and intimidate.

This thirsty description of RFK Jr. reads like an FBI profiler trying to understand a serial killer. Just add "This is my design" at the end and you've got a Hannibal episode

If you're the kind of person who subscribes to independent news, especially news from people facing marginalization, please consider donating to support Juno. She does independent journalism, is trans, and most importantly, she's a biological entity who needs food in an indifferent and cruel system

People freaking out more about the idea that Bill Clinton got a blowjob from Trump than both of them being sexually involved with children because pedophillia is more normalised in society than gay sex.

This made me spit my crisp chardonnay with notes of green apple and citrus all over my dogeared copy of the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius.

we gotta get like three VPNs deep with signal chats set to a disappearing turnaround of minutes to be able to use adult words instead of "unalive" or "grape" meanwhile our political elite are apparently just emailing each other plaintext "up for sex crimes tonight ?"

My grandma's version of this was "You'd argue with a fencepost if you *knew* you was wrong"

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal." JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"

A chorus of Jewish New York communities, including Bend the Arc, are repudiating the ADL's blatant Islamophobia in a joint statement. Read more below:

How does the phone case stop murderers? How does the phone case stop the government and media from demonising girls like her? How does the phone case help a kid who can’t come out in school or at home due to rampant real life bigotry. How would a phone case have helped Brianna?

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

"James Bond can't die, nor can he have not died" sits at the same level of "realism" as "Socialism doesn't work, and must never be allowed to"

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

This is also not going to be about how moral OCD is driving the left to be too extreme. “Extreme” is great; we are bitdizzy adherents in this house. What is at issue is the manner of the “driving,” which I think may lead to faster burnout and eventual resentment-induced quietism or heel turns.

I think it’d be helpful for more leftists to know about moral OCD because I suspect that the things that make us leftists lend themselves to both a greater incidence of moral OCD, greater severity, and less ability to know you have it even from the same baseline of self awareness

This is why they suddenly ended the shutdown

This is why I love Just King Things 🚙🏨🤡 @rangedtouch.bsky.social's Michael Lutz: "Obviously I'm marrying Christine, because it's what she deserves; I'm killing the Overlook Hotel, and I will fuck Pennywise, because there's, uh, there's a LOT of room for what might happen there"

maybe now Kim can get back to her solitary life of kidnapping and torturing her favorite author, Paul Sheldon, in a remote Colorado cabin

Great, what's another multibillion dollar hole in the economy

This has been the right wing game for *decades*. This is just "you're being racist against white people". The entire thing has been seeing anti-racism as some advantage that the oppressed have over them, because it's a boundary on their behaviour, and seeking to get it for themselves.
