This is word for word what they say about gender dysphoria. Now we get to watch them apply it to the entire field of psychiatry to strip people of their healthcare.

Angine de Poutrine taking off their paper mache heads and you see two exact copies of yourself, and they know each other but you know neither of them, which is odd because both of them are you.

you actually don't have to understand someone's dysphoria in order to support them resolving it, you can just accept that you have differing needs from them

Angine de Poutrine are like if Primus and Lightning Bolt had a microtonal baby

oh you want to make a breathable atmosphere on mars sure let me just pull a couple EXATONS of NITROGEN out of, i don't know, my fucking ass i guess? because you're going to have to process a *****LOT***** of rock to find that much on site

i need to ensure that i am smarter than an AI, i have to, we all have to, we all NEED to. They predicted as computers were first being developed that they will eventually start competing with our brains. What have we learned about this as a global society, whether scientific research or

Can we just build a crèche for them? The could play "stockmarkets" all day and be told their net worth was an ever increasing meaningless number, while the rest of us get on with looking after each other.

When I was doing a live show last night, a commenter expressed shock that Massachusetts has enough of these stories to warrant a weekly news roundup. I promise you could do one of these for every state, except maybe Wyoming since no one lives there.

I've had these True Supernatural Stories channels on in the background while I work and it's amazing how often the answer is clearly "there was a guy". Sometimes the guy is fucking with somebody, somebody he's just a bit odd, but it seems like a plurality of these cases are just "I saw a dude"

"The 1861 unification of Italy brought a ban on "eviration" (the practice of creating castrati) but until the Catholic Church decreed they'd no longer hire them in 1902 there was a steep rise in specific 'farming accidents' involving boys." [my dysphoric ass nodding and noting "farming accident"]

Inspired by this, I made a dodecathedral

You were a baby once, be the elder you needed and stay safe friends.

When the little fascist who wrote this bill says being transgender “will fall out of fashion,” it’s less a prediction and more a statement of intent. Here’s the practical effect of this soon-to-be-law: 🧵 wpln.org/post/bill-to...

Why do i always insist on eating more Taco Bell than my tummy can handle, oogghh

There's so much to be angry about in the world, I defy you to create instead. Art is a radical act of defiance. Supporting your friends is praxis. Life's so short, find ways to spark joy 💕

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

just read about J Edgar Hoover deporting 246 US-born radicals by a Steelship to Russia and other -- his words -- "vacation" spots . that was "the end of the first red scare" and how America ACTUALLY handled it. i didn't know about that part . i wasn't surprised but i didn't know about that part.

tying some knots in the logic because i know how much u like untangling those

I should buy a fill-in-the-blank algebra workbook and just do the whole thing as best as i can. I'm dogshit at algebra, i needed tutors for both years i studied it in school. But i have an inkling it could do something interesting to my brain if i just blind-raw some algebra

Tl;dr - there's a lot of blame to be spread around, including the hiring thing. But I don't think the answer is for us to passively wait for Dems to do better - as indicated by all of the replies and quotes, but to collectively work together to solve a hostile environment at the moment. YMMV.

second hand markets still factor into the value of an IP. fandom factors into the value of an IP. piracy traffic pushes it up the lists of trackers, further cementing its cultural exposure. having the merch communicates to trans people what matters more. i don't get to enjoy it. any of it.

everyone has to stop acting like things aren't about to get much worse (they are) nobody is coming to save us. we have to save ourselves. get out there and ORGANIZE. get looped in to your local community. build mutual aid networks. lend people your skills. learn practical ones. ask for help!

tbh assuming gender is honestly a good thing as long as you're capable of being normal about being corrected about it

See though? I'm telling y'all. Maryland flag for placeholders instead of lo-key assets. (get it? because the Warframe in the screenshot is named Loki?) (I'll see myself out)

- Pace yourself - don’t go too crazy - no fedposting - stay on top of regulating your nervous system - act local - find people who’ve been doing the work and ask how you can help - tend to the myriad biological needs we need as confused little apes - give grace to dysregulated people on your side

oh worm i have one cone and enough weed to fill it before i finally start my t-break, perfect! Lots of kief, since i rarely use it, an act of heroism will happen tonight

People forget this but Chuck Norris jokes were originally Mr. T jokes. I don't know why that changed but clearly the world would have been better if it hadn't

Why call it behavior restriction when you crave the guiding hand of another? Protocol is a trellis, a support for the submissive seeking light. Let it hold you as you grow and bloom :)

Woman who is a combination of Damocles and Narcissus

I wish i could help the women in New Mexico right now. I have never lain eyes on human remains before, though i can be completely level when spotting animal remains & conversing about it. I feel I have a certain mental fortitude that would protect me. Otherwise i'd be a helping hand, nothing expert.

i was about 6 years old when i drew a conclusion that Heaven and Hell are concepts invented in order to control people through fear, that morality arises through the power of one's own mind which is understandably at risk of being glossed over in favor of guidelines more easily quantified into words

it’s incredibly blackpilling to me that it takes rising gas prices and rising gas prices alone to have people turn against the war in iran, and not the american government murdering thousands of children and civilians in iran. americans are incredibly selfish

seeing Chavez’s legacy be swiftly and correctly decimated is a powerful reminder that we as a society could, actually, hold people accountable when credible allegations are made that they are child molesters

not "i can tell someone what to do and they will do it" power. "even if no one stands by my side i will fight and kill god" power
