I've spent the last two months putting together this exhaustive analysis of the New York Times coverage of trans people. It covers 3,242 articles over 12 years. In 2022, the NYT shifted towards a hostile stance towards trans people in their framing. www.thedissident.news/exclusive-ho...

Me: is this new follower a bot? Lot of quote posts and reposts… ::I take a quick look through my post history:: huh. Better post something original and funny. ::settles for this::

The lake-shaped excuse, my third collection of poetry, is out Oct 6 2026. Pre-order available now! A conversation between mother and daughter beyond death; an elegy, a prayer, a regret “Brilliant and painful” —Mikko Harvey bookstore.wolsakandwynn.ca/products/the... @wolsakandwynn.bsky.social

I don't think people are ready for catastrophe that is coming at the end of this year that will be the severe shortage of fertilizer due to the Iran war and a super el niño at the same time. We could be looking at a massive famine that will kill tens of millions.

The strategy Julia Serano is highlighting here is an old (and well-tested) one. It is also CONSTANTLY deployed in carceral settings, where extreme censorship has thrived. (Read the section on "Content Based Prohibitions" here, for a crash course: sr.ithaka.org/publications...) (1/3)

I've gotten so bad at making friends and being social irl. It's clear what I have to do now. The one path open to me... is to put all my investment into cultivating one-sided parasocial relationships on the internet. ::begins going through your post history, stops blinking -- maybe forever?::

Excellent read here from Julia Serano. This is also -- obviously, but sometimes the obvious is worth stating -- another connection between the current eugenic revival and the anti-queer (and racist/ethnocentrist anti-immigrant) campaigns (1/4)

happy pride, shoutout as always to the 1978 gilbert baker pride flag which had pink and turquoise stripes for SEX AND MAGIC AND ART, and in this house we support gay sex and gay magic and gay art

Alright, welcome to Alexis Sara's Lesbian nerd news for Pride Thread. I'll be going through Game Showcases and what not to show what looks like it might be sapphic coming up! I'll try and play some demos and stuff too and you know, you can follow along.

We're only running this deal for this week so you better act quickly! I have a paywalled piece about the World Cup coming next week that you'll be able to read without paying if you grab this deal.

Y’all we all got put up a big stink about this account level moderation. Sex workers (especially poc and queer sex workers) are going to get absolutely fucked by this at a time when shit is already so bad.

Reposting, because I'm not seeing a lot of non-NSFW artists talking about this and I'm starting to see the accounts go down If you want to see NSFW Art specifically-- remember to set your "Sexually Suggestive (cartoon)" setting to warn/show It's a totally different setting to the other NSFW labels

If only I knew during my first puberty what I did during my second, we could’ve gotten this body done in a single draft. It’s okay, though, I am a writer.

Really sucks how so many headlines now are just eugenics Mad Libs.

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

Prisons across the U.S. are stripping away physical mail in what they claim to be an effort to combat drug smuggling. Here's the truth: Mail scanning does not stop drug use behind bars — but it does hurt incarcerated people & their loved ones.

What happens when publishers begin avoiding LGBTQ+ stories before a book is ever challenged? This article explores how years of censorship efforts are creating a chilling effect across the publishing industry, making it harder for queer voices & stories to reach readers bookriot.com/queer-books-...

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Just a reminder that immigrants inside Delaney Hall are on their ninth day of a hunger and labor strike in protest of inhumane conditions and this was Governor Sherrill’s response last night:

Louisiana has decided to cede the entire parole decision-making process to an algorithm that will decide if you die in prison or not. There will be no human input or nuance allowed. Even our parole board is sickened by this. LINK: veritenews.org/2025/04/10/t...

Why are you nonbinary? Wrong answers only: Because I never learned coding or computer science.

Sometimes I think about joining in on THE DISCOURSE™️. And then I remember my gender is a haunting, my sexuality is a dusty mirror, and all my words are cracked and hollow bones, the marrow all sucked out.

She's gotten out of a difficult situation and is now safe, but needs help to stabilize. As a bonus, if you send her at least $60, you can book a consult with me that I've never offered anywhere: I'll improve your book's marketing--cover art, summary, and more. You can gift the consult too!

Once again @pghlesbian.bsky.social does the reporting no one else will do. She was also the one who broke the Nex Benedict story. This is who Lucas Redbeard was as a person. This is who they hated so much they murdered him.

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

These 8 Democrats voted to pass a national ban on trans teachers and mention of LGBTQ topics. Rep Henry Cuellar (TX) Rep. Don Davis (NC) Rep. Cleo Fields (LA) Rep. Laura Gillen (NY) Rep. Vicente González (TX) Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH) Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA)

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

You only have a few days left to tell the FCC that they should stop trying to force broadcasters to classify trans and nonbinary people as inappropriate for children to see on TV skepchick.org/2026/05/the-...

close friends who are aware of my bizarre, fucked-up personal situation have encouraged (bullied) me to create more of a clear-cut fundraising campaign to help with my upcoming move. if you can chip in, great! thank you! but please only do so if you can spare it. 💚 ko-fi.com/interrobangb...

If you're reading this, my cat and I have boarded a one-way flight out of the United States. The Trump administration wrongfully denied my work permit renewal; after months of demanding that they follow the law, we have run out of legal recourse, and I have no choice but to leave the country. (🧵)

Writing might be the only thing that I can do repeatedly, for extended periods of time, and then suddenly be like, "but do I know how to do this at all... and will I ever?" Following enough writers on here to know, well... that's writing, baby!

::Reads feed, injecting depression and anger straight into her veins:: ::Gets to trans women writing love notes and replying in support of each other:: ::Wipes tear:: (in whisper) This is what I came to you for right now, internet.

we heard you hate AI, so at LFP we've been making resources for turning off AI features across the web. but we also don't think AI problems can be solved at an individual level, so we included some of our fav tools for community resistance as well. more to download free at libraryfreedom.org

The Trump regime has released their 2026 counter-terrorism strategy, declaring their focus will be on "identifying and neutralizing pro-transgender groups", comparing them (us) to cartels and Islamic terrorists, in order to "defend the homeland".

I'm sorry, internet, I don't understand shitposting. Can you explain it to me in a series of memes or gifs?

This is amazing. *Click here to automate the facade of your humanity.* (As you give all your individuality away to our generalization and normalization machine.)

This is catastrophic.

Donald Trump is openly threatening war crimes against the entirety of Iranian civilization. 25th Amendment proceedings must begin immediately, but if the Cabinet is too cowardly, the House should begin the impeachment process now.

Bots on here are working over time.

Been thinking about this joke from Inside Job on repeat: “World War III will happen soon, nly this time, the Americans are the bad guys!”

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Every time someone posts a NYT trash bomb like this, I remember someone yelling, “the newspaper of record!?!” When I said it wasn’t to be trusted.

This isn’t journalism. This is creative writing by fascist sycophants.

In light of the conversation about how hard it is to promote your own book: Post a link to buy your book here and I’ll boost it cause you destroyed yourself to get it done, your publisher won’t help you sell it, and you deserve cheers and admiration for your accomplishment.

Our government could pay for programs to help people if they stopped spending on bombs to kill them. Just sayin'.

Had an anxiety attack at the end of my workday today because I am an overextended mess. So I am downloading Final Fantasy Tactics, The Ivalice Chronicles. Aka the remaster of my all time favorite video game.

Tell me you’re a necropolitical regime without telling me you’re a necropolitical regime…
