TODDLER: Let’s go to Jupiter! ME: Okay! What do you want to do on Jupiter? TODDLER (pensive): Well, there aren’t many playgrounds… @teaberryblue.net

Here's how to turn off Bluesky's censorship settings, so you can see posts by people you follow, even if Bluesky thinks they're rude. You can customize the controls on quite a bit more than the Rude label, even.

Sometimes a family is two adults eating dinner and a nude toddler carrying a large label maker over their head. @teaberryblue.net

I heed this call to tell you that while I cant find any, there is for sure a tag for Joe Bailey that has zero works, so this is someone's chance to make history archiveofourown.org/tags/Joe%20B...

can someone who's better than me at ao3 searches determine whether there is any fanfic about Chuck Schumer's imaginary friends, Joe and Eileen Bailey?

Whether my ID says M or F or X on it doesn’t in any way impact whether my photo looks like me or whether I’m old enough to buy beer or cannabis. There is absolutely no purpose in having it there.

This is why when folks were fighting to get an X gender marker on government ID, I went so hard on the idea that government ID ~shouldn’t have any gender on it at all~ It serves absolutely no purpose other than discrimination.

Please remember when you discuss trans issues that like Brown people exist

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

making a shawl for a gift exchange bc I don’t already have enough tight-deadline knitting going on 😭

The answer is that yes, it is unethical to use anything but actual relevant experience and training to screen employees. Screening out ugly people, people who don't make eye contact, people with facial deformities, etc is unethical. Screening facial features for anything but modeling is unethical

I have absolutely no interest in middle ground or compromise on any human rights, for roughly the same reasons that I have absolutely no interest in allowing a leopard to eat only *part* of my face.

Jackson says the decision is "more than merely regrettable. It is an abdication of the Court's duty to ensure that equitable standards apply equally to all litigants—to transgender people and the Government alike." And she faults the majority for ignoring "the animus evident in the Executive Order."

Jackson's dissent, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan, says the evidence showed that gender-incongruent passports led to humiliating, invasive searches of trans Americans (including strip searches) since their gender marker didn't align with their appearance. The policy is both cruel and irrational.

Fuck this so much

"without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." This is flatly false! Trans people with a passport that does not match with their plain appearance when presented to a border agent is subject to additional hassle compared to a cis person presenting a passport.

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

One thing I love about @prismreports.org is that they work so closely with incarcerated writers, and surface things I had never thought about before. This piece on how extended incarceration is a violation of reproductive rights by functionally serving as involuntary sterilization is fantastic.

One of my kid’s closest friends is a wheelchair user who desperately needs a motorized chair in order move more freely, as her disability effects her wrists and elbows - meaning her current push chair limits her independence. Please consider donating!!! justgiving.com/campaign/sop...

Nasser has a new fundraiser so even little donations help ❤️

This was entirely unexpected but also it would be extremely cool if there were any way for it to happen.

what if every time you said to yourself 'does this person REALLY need this?' you just said yes and stopped being the worst person alive

'Please, your donation today isn’t just a number — it’s medicine for my mother, and food for a table that’s been empty for days. Help us complete this goal and give my mother another day of life with dignity.' No donations for a day.

Don't trust a New York Times reporter. Don't talk to a New York Times reporter. They are the most ambitious journalists on the planet and will do anything to get the story their editor wants. The truth doesn't matter to them, only getting the story their editor wants so they can move up.

Uninstall Grammarly NOW. They've partnered with an AI company and actively scrape your writing to train its models.

Don't talk to the NYT. They've betrayed families' trust before. They will lie to you and use you and then turn around and tell you it was their job. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

So many times SO MANY TIMES I have said I don't trust any politician who throws trans people and immigrants under the bus. Look at this dude. LOOK AT THIS. He's here for ALL OF US. There is NO EXCUSE for any politician who doesn't step up like this. No excuse.

People are saying it feels like 2008, but I feel like I've got a much better sense now of what and how much this actually means.

"in this moment of political darkness, new york will be the light "whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community one of the many black women that donald trump who has fired from her job... your struggle is ours too"

repeat that last line to yourself. this is enormously important. "no longer would politics would be something that is done to us. now it would be something that WE DO" ACTION. that WE DO. this is all real; this is all possible; this is all essential. let's DO THIS.

i have never felt more vindicated in my support of a candidate

*psst* heard yall was looking for a big tent

It's fucked up how hard it hits me to have a dem pol even give trans people a throwaway mention in a victory speech--viscerally drives home how exhausting and demoralizing the status quo has become.

Brad Lander is such a mensch. ❤️

Whose job do he want and how do we get him it

he STARTS by quoting Debs oh my gd i am so happy right now

oh FUCK i just realized what Gavin Newsom's face reminds me of. It's the Smiler, from Transmetropolitan.

TBH we'd settle for a two-bedroom

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

TRANS RIGHTS ARE A WINNING POLITICAL ISSUE Every single centrist claiming we must all compromise our bodily autonomy for their personal comfort is a traitor to American democracy & rational human decency. They have no place in a modern Democratic Party, toss them out. Total liberation for all.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Every time she comes up, I remind you all that Pamela Paul killed a pro trans paragraph in a review I wrote for the New York Times, lied about it in the press, then when I confronted her with receipts, said “Let’s keep this to ourselves.”

this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam

why is this mayoral election different than all other mayoral elections? in all other mayoral elections, we get to see andrew cuomo lose but once. but in this mayoral elections, we get to see him lose *twice*.

I have said many times that I think the fundamental divide in the Democratic Party is between those who think we should go back to 2015 and those who already wanted better in 2015

And this happened.
