Lots of talk of the left punching at liberals instead of conservatives and Nazis but Cuomo’s sole presence on that ballot was an attempt to ratfuck the left. It’s inexcusable to talk of big tents and unified voices and do this shit

I’m Alyson Greaves and I write books about trans women. Come visit my Patreon to read new chapters of THE SISTERS OF DORLEY two weeks early, to read books like KIMMY before they are available to buy, and to read new chapters of WHEN YOU FELL FROM HEAVEN and THE CATCH! www.patreon.com/alysongreaves

The enthusiasm with which some people will lick even a hypothetical boot never ceases to amaze.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to enforce its anti-trans and anti-nonbinary passport policy during litigation. The unsigned, four-paragraph order effectively reverses two lower-court decisions. The Democratic appointees dissent. More to come: www.lawdork.com

Jury nullification is good and it's a good sign for America's path out of authoritarianism that juries are recognizing their power to nullify.

My paper also highlights the UK press' complicity in mainstreaming the LGBA's anti-trans campaigning. The data shows UK press bias that whitewashes the LGBA and uses it as a weapon against the trans community in anti-trans stories. This contrasts with the media's attacks against pro-trans charities.

BATS is a uniquely awesome journal.

for every weirdo right wing crypto finance dude who flees NYC, three trans women will move there and engage in actually productive economic activities, like ranked competitive bloodborne speedruns

I'm glad "the year of Dramione" is a thing because it clearly illustrates how the wizard kidlit franchise is being kept culturally relevant by cishet women who can't stop cranking it to plausibly deniable Nazi porn they hallucinated in their favorite children's media.

They've changed it back again now, but changing a quote is a huge red flag. The BBC are repeatedly demonstrating that there are ideologues directly interfering with the meaning of stories they report relating to trans people, and this should be a far bigger deal than it is

fun legal fact! declaring "jester's privilege" provides very little advantage in divorce proceedings

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

it’s not that language is super special and unique on its own, it’s that there isn’t really an adaptive need for it outside of human society so it hasn’t evolved that often, and now we’ve developed machines for it, which is hard but not impossible and not metaphysically significant

everyone needs to grow the fuck up and start playing pretend with toys

I had a philosophy of mind textbook in college which included a photo of Rodin’s “Thinker” and captioned it “According to behaviorists, what is this man doing?”

hey y'all, rockstar games employees are organizing against the unfair firings of many union workers. you can donate to their fund here. a good and fair work environment is essential for GTA 6 to be a good and timely game, as well as a higher state of living. actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Re-upping this mostly useless advice for people in a limited set of states Note: Where the post below says you can enter Mexico with an EDL: This is incorrect, even by land Mexico formally requires a proper passport. But it works for Canada-by-land, and the Carribbean I guess check case by case.

NOW can we abolish SCOTUS?? fucking please???

Portland taqueria feeding folks during the shutdown/immigration threats. Sounds like they could use support to keep going as well, if any Portland folks are looking for ways to help rn.

I think, if we try really hard. Blood on The Lens Part 2 can sell better than the new mountain goats album. I think we have a chance. if we really work together. to defeat them

because i blocked them, here’s a screenshot from clearsky - i wouldn’t normally snitch, but WTF honestly. not a safe person.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

the NYT employed Pamela Paul for years to write anti-trans pieces. do not talk to anyone from the NYT. do not talk to any journalist about this, period. no exceptions.

Cheney croaked, Zohran won, and sandwich guy is free. All time great week imo.

The New York Times

Zohran Mamdani will continue 'standing up' for transgender people as New York City mayor www.advocate.com/pol... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Hey, friendly reminder that Scott Cawthon's donations to the GOP literally contributed to SNAP suspension and you shouldn't buy or stream Five Nights at Freddy's anything.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

To be really clear, Sussex ICB threatened, in writing, to close a Brighton GP practice serving 25,000 patients, purely to bully them into passing over child records. The GP did not want to pass on these records, because they understood the acute risk (& reality) of harm to trans adolescents.

the minutes of the October meeting between WellBN and SussexICB are chilling. Andrew Dodson from the Sussex side just openly saying patients will be “deprescribed,” that they’ll have no choice and won’t be allowed to talk to the team taking their healthcare away

"They know this is likely to cause suicides. They don’t care! We jumped through every hoop for years and we followed what the government asked of us. I’m in Surrey, her doctor is in Brighton, you can imagine what this is doing to us." northwestbylines.co.uk/news/health/...

wes streeting is positioning himself to take over from keir starmer as prime minister. wes streeting is a christian evangelical. wes streeting won his seat by just 517 votes.

‘instil exclusively christian messaging in education, deny the trans community their right to exist’ @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social is already doing this yet i never hear you all harping on about the evils of labour.

"The problem with capitalism is that sooner or later you'll run out of the government's money." (Pardon the butchered quote lol)

Perhaps the EHRC’s regulatory impact assessment should include the option of JK Rowling buying out all the toilets in Britain.

As is usual in the UK, it is considered worse to *call* someone racist than to be racist. I have fallen out with MANY people (friends!) over the years about this. Folk who consider themselves unimpeachable, and go ballistic when you point out that something they did or said was kind of shitty.

That dog sure is whistling

In this piece, admitting the BBC has broken its impartiality rules re. trans people, the BBC further breaks its impartiality rules by changing a quote saying "trans identity" to "trans ideology".

the cis urge to consider yourself personally injured by basic civility

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

I made a graphic that people might understand better.

Yessssss.

It's Kathleen Stock all over again, isn't it? Someone with immense privilege behaves hatefully, gets pushback from victims, embarks on an 'I've been cancelled' tour, supported by the whole British media establishment, and the victims get shat on all over again.

oh no. anyway. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Ellis turns to the testimony of U.S. Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino. How he denied using force against a man he tackled and said he didn't see the Rev. David Black hit by pepperballs. "More telling," she says, "defendant Bovino admitted that he lied."
