in my Spanish studies recently i've been encountering a lot of music about being bisexual... strange coincidence. i don't mind it at all, of course. i mean, you know what they say, para gustos colores. but it seems like the kind of thing *you'd* like www.youtube.com/watch?v=08UI...

sociologically fascinated by the popularity of magazine "Liberal Currents" on this website

We are disappointed @nycpride.bsky.social did not taken a stronger stance in line with community demands and the families of trans youth. Allowing them to march provides cover for the harm they’ve caused and fails to hold them accountable.

"Mineshaft: The Cruising Murders" may sound as salacious as its source material: the real-life murder that inspired William Friedkin's "Cruising." Instead, it's a well-contextualized dissection of the backlash the movie faced from NYC's gay community.

Lauren Southern's story of being raped by Andrew Tate is sad on so many levels. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

RIP to the legendary David Hockney, one of my favorite painters ever and maker of this, perhaps the hardest artist photo of all time

Learning Spanish means that every day I learn a new little cultural fact that somehow blows my mind. What do you mean instead of the tooth fairy they have "The Tooth Rat"

Border Czar Tom Homan said New York City was about to see its largest deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in response to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s recent legislative package that provides residents with added protections from federal authorities.

halfway through Anna Karenina there is a conversation about male breastfeeding... any academics working on this

recently discovered "Bullshit Bench," the testing suite of nonsense questions designed to make AI confidently offer a real response and i'm a bit obsessed raw.githubusercontent.com/petergpt/bul...

First post! This Saturday at Queens Public Library in Jackson Heights: A closer look at the history of Cuban cross-gender performance in New York City during the second half of the XX century. Hosted by mee. Plus a special performance by Caracol de Cuba.

I LOVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!!! GIRL GET TF IN HERE

it is never a bad time to begin the work of degoogling your experience of the internet. a different search engine is the first place to start

often thinking about the "LGT Pride" banners of early 1980s Atlanta

just learned that "LGTB" is the proposed spanish acronym from Real Academia Española for legal documents and i think thats great. back of the line bisensuals

the funny thing about learning a new language in New York City is that at first it has this vaguely mystical feeling of a new foreign discourse until you realize people on the street are just talking about groceries and babysitting and stuff

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

the way some of these trans women from the 1800s were going to balls no hormones no surge no nothing and absolutely eating up half the dolls today... just ridiculous

"Premier Vaginal Prosthesis" flyer, leafleted around the Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco, March 1967. Printed by the Communication Company headed by Chester Anderson (a gay man)

cant sleep thinking about the vaginal prostheses of cow gut used by trans sex workers in 1920s berlin

YouTube data is shocking and a bit counterintuitive to me, so I'll be checking out the paper later. Any creators or someone on the ground want to comment? Is this just a case of Jimi Hendrix not being as big as he was in the 60s, or does "postliterate society" include video longer than 30 seconds

Overall social media use is also declining. Between 2020 and 2024, more Americans — especially the youngest (18–24) and oldest (65+) — report using no social media at all. A small group of heavy users remains, but the middle is thinning out.

i'm growing pretty tired of U.S.A.'s managed protest culture

"Péter Magyar" is almost as crazy as "Charles de Gaulle." still waiting for a U.S. president named "Joey America"

learned today that Playboy upset its advertisers by running a cover and pictorial on lesbians in Oct 1975 and i'm a bit obsessed. like what are they doing here

Reading Cookie Mueller again and started thinking about all those young lives taken by AIDS. thought of the state of the world now . Wondering, how much damage to our future came from those minds being taken so young

I've been reading the autobiography of Madame Satã, which reports that when he performed *transformista* drag in 1928 Brazil (as "Mulata de Balacochê") the audience shouted "Salve ela a boneca linda," translating literally to something like "Hail to the beautiful doll." We should bring that back

I wrote about the Bund and jail support for Harpers Bazaar. Thank you @prisonculture.bsky.social for your beautiful quote www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/art-...

maybe the reason why discussions about AI on here are so bad is because college administration has been systematically dismantling all the STS departments

Your trans kid was born this way
