Breaking my posting/scrolling respite briefly to share that I'm now migrated to @transrights.northsky.social 's PDS. The migration process was smooth and painless. 🤘

In a rough state and so the brainworms are winning today, folks. I rarely post in any case, but I'm going to take a break and not check back for a while. Love and solidarity always 💚

*in the tone of an IT gal trying to explain the obvious issue* "Yeah, see, here's your problem!" "You still care more about men's feelings than women's lives." *under my breath* "fucking moron"

The problem is that the child porn website is owned by the richest man in the world, who no one wants to pick a fight with, and even less so now that he's aligned with the president of the U.S., himself a maniacal sex criminal. Nothing gets fixed without breaking the political power of big money

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

We can’t ignore the gendered dynamics of what we just saw katemanne.substack.com/p/renee-good...

This family needs your support

that’s why they say “all cops” and not “some cops”

This family needs your support

i don't believe for a second keir starmer would actually do this but let's for a brief moment allow ourselves to dream yeah?

hi Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good in my city yesterday and they don't want you to know his name is Jonathan Ross. so if you need to know who Jonathan Ross is, that's who Jonathan Ross is. the ICE agent who murdered that woman? yeah his name is Jonathan Ross. fuck you Bluesky.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

do the work not because you have to but because that's a life well-lived. live the fuck outta your life. the people we buried would be fucking pissed off if you don't. make art. kill nazis. don't get discouraged. enjoy the sunrise. work hard on this and rest. enjoy being alive. go down swinging.

there is no right way to react to this shit if there was a right way to react to this shit, it would not keep happening it would have been solved the last time this shit happened, because they did it the right way maybe we'll get it right this time we can only hope

Due to X enabling the creation of Grok AI generated non-consensual porn and p*edophillia images, the Women & Equalities Parliamentary Committee has left the X platform.  The more politically & culturally influential accounts leave X, the less power the toxic narratives pushed on that platform have.

go help Ana!

NOW: Crowd continues to grow in Minneapolis at a vigil where a federal agent shot and killed Renee Good this morning. “SAY HER NAME!” “RENEE GOOD!”

Anyway I would like very much for everyone to stop using genAI to alter photos of women to undress them or worse

Help?

It’s impressive how one commentator can be this confidently wrong. The term “sex assigned at birth” was used in the 60s by obstetricians to explain the cursory way that sex was determined, based on external genitalia alone. It was used in the DSM III-R published in 1987.

um, maybe the news should be covering this?

happy anniversary to this copypasta!

If there is one resolution I want for journalists this year: it is to get off S*bstack and use Ghost or any other indy publishing platform that does not fund literal nazis instead.

You could already do a pretty amazing YouTube video of “news show presenters who cannot believe what they are fucking hearing from actual ministers”. Start with the Taylor Swift tickets, move on to the collective punishment ones and finish with this.

Would these people even defend *themselves*, if the Trumpers tried to kick them out of power and replace them? It’s not clear to me that they would.

Mohammed Jamil is struggling to raise funds to get some basic shelter for him and his family. You can help by sharing and considering even a small donation

These technologies can and are being used to create lifelike images and videos of actual living women and girls. For what I think are pretty obvious gendered civil rights reasons, it needs to be a recognized civil cause of action to create an AI image or avatar of a woman without her consent.

Kink positive as I am, my pre date selfie is not your fetish porn. I don’t post or comment on kink on here. So fetish accounts reposting me into feeds where all other photos of women are fetish content? Icky, wtf :( Be fucking normal about women. Don’t make us into fetish content without consent

Please consider helping this delightful little family.

Please help Alaa’s family get some shelter by sharing and considering even a small donation

Please help Samuel survive! Black trans people are affected by homelessness disproportionately.

This Christmas day please take care of Mitqal's family.

Let's choose kindness in 2026. youtu.be/lopMMkz0law

Would be great to get Esse House a little festive donation boost going into the new year. The minimum contribution is a share of this post. Go on. It's Christmas.

I find it mostly disappointing that the most disappointment and anger in this list are for the things that are *not a choice*.
