Some folks will nitpick a Black woman running for office but hand out endless grace to White men. The double standard isn’t subtle.

Really appreciated this. Please #signalboost www.reddit.com/r/50501/comm...

the long lines at food banks and assistance offices will be one of the images we forever associate with 2025.

I was listening to @planetmoney.bsky.social taking about companies planning to sue to get the tariffs back if they are deemed to be illegal since they are the importer. But if they raised prices, didn’t they get the tariffs back already and they are being paid back twice?

This is infuriating on so many levels, but partly because it ignores Congressional intent to penalize immigrants who followed the rules. And partly because these are people who have done nothing wrong beyond trying to negotiate a broken system. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Even better with an ALT text:

I could not be more thrilled! 🥰 Big thanks to all of our listeners, and deep gratitude to all who give their time and talents to make "Madison on the Air" a reality. linktr.ee/madisononthe... #OldTimeRadio #audiofiction #AudioDrama #fictionpodcast #madisonontheair

I know that I now live in the Dominion of Canada, wait it’s a country now. I didn’t even know there would be a Canada when I was born but I am thankful of @madisonstandish.bsky.social You probably noticed that I’m in every episode as I too am a time traveler but I go in the other direction.

'Conversion therapy' still hasn't been banned in the UK, despite subsequent governments promising to do so | Ilias Trispiotis

There is a new study from Oxford that says there are five phases of the human brain. Adolescence brain lasts from 9-32. I fear certain people will use this to stop trans people from getting treatment to be who they are. Yet cis people get a free pass when they say who they are.

@naradaradio.bsky.social I just wanted to send you a quick note to say that I love ISIRTA! And I’m not even Angus Prune! Will you be doing ‘The Navy Lark’ or ‘It’s That Man Again?’ Stay shiny.

"If approved, this will affect everyone, no matter [your] gender. It will...enforce sexist, patriarchal, misogynistic norms on what men & women should look like & how they should behave...Where other bathroom bills have been enacted, they have been found to increase violence, especially for women."

Today is Trans Day Of Remembrance #TransLivesMatter #TDoR #TDoR2025 #TransDayOfRemembrance #TransAwarenessWeek #SayTheirNames *** Trigger warning for the following thread: Violence against trans people (especially TWOC) * * *

Nuanced take, I see the downside here RE cost (DIY is defs cheaper) but the more avenues for care in the UK + the more people publicly pushing for it, the better IMO. Hope it helps some folks. Based of Jude to put her own money behind it for no profit too, she’s a sweet l’il motherrfuckuerr 🫡

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

I wrote a thing: www.godlessmom.com/product-page.... #atheist

Under new NHS puberty blocker trial protocols, trans youth are being subjected to more than 50 assessments, intrusive exams, and over 13 hours of intrusive testing - just to access lifesaving healthcare It demands young people re-live distress & undergo intimate examinations #ConversionPractices

Hey folks, if you like what I do and want to throw me a tip, it's always appreciated, and will probably go towards more indie games, and probably paying for an editor etc for upcoming videos I'm working on, as well as helping towards bills. ko-fi.com/caseyexplosion

#TDOR Today we remember those of our trans siblings who did not make it. You are missed.

“You are the worst. I don’t know why they even have you” “Quiet piggy! Quiet!” “Be quiet! You don’t listen. You never listen. That’s why you’re second rate” “It’s not the question that I mind it’s your attitude. I think you’re a terrible reporter.” This is how abusers talk.

NEW: In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant. She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency. Then she died. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

It’s transgender awareness week, so if you weren’t already aware, you are transgender

I'm not the biggest #superman fan in the world, but I *do* love well-produced documentaries about nearly any topic. The COMICS CODE is absolutely one of those! If you're a fan of Supes (or not!) I highly recommend this podcast! https://www.comicscodepodcast.com/

Apparently some dude plagiarised Seattle Voice Lab’s curriculum and set himself up as a voice coach, so here’s a link to the genuine article www.seattlevoicelab.com

Stills from the latest Philosophy Tube. We shot this whole section in one take on the run cause I didn’t want anyone in the building to come by and think those signs were real lmao

I suppose it's a good time to re-up this essay: juliaserano.medium.com/trans-people...

this new Philosophy Tube is really something special 🤍 what a gift that @theabigailthorn.bsky.social shares all of this with us tbh

The Olympics had allowed trans women to compete since the 2004 games. Out of 10s of thousands of competitors, only one trans woman ever qualified. She came last. Zero medals. Zero. Zero. Yet the far right has convinced elites they were dominating.

I sometimes have chats with NHS managers about how to “restore trust” and it’s amazing how poorly they react to the suggestion that people who harm patients should lose their jobs.

NHS Sussex are forcibly detransitioning trans people. These patients need full restoration of their healthcare, and everyone involved in doing this needs to be sacked.
