Wait, I can fix daylight savings. We all hate the bit where you lose an hour by springing forward, but the night where you get an extra hour in bed when we 'fall back' (or for the British, "autumnambulate") is a highlight of the year. So what if you only turned the clocks back?

7/x And ultimately, all of this is because the idea of a multiracial working class united by class consciousness is a religious viewpoint held by a lot of leftists as deeply as evangelicals hold apocalyptic millenarianism. It's like critiquing what an evangelical views as a sign of the second coming

The only thing I can really think of for why Ryan Grim is so desperate for Graham Platner is, I believe, the same reason why there was a massive orgiastic rush of anger about critiquing Joe Rogan when he said one nice thing about Bernie. They want there to be a right-wing-white-male to left pipeline

in the store just now and there was a couple looking at those prepped toddler meals and he was saying “everything’s better if you just cook from scratch” and she goes “they don’t look bad and they’d save me so much time” and he just kept repeating “it’s better if you cook” I did not commit a crime

The thing about all these freak AI execs constantly going "our machine may have gained sentience?!" is that they want slaves. That they are ok with slave labor. And *then* it always, always turns out their latest AI trick actually used slave labor somewhere in the global south. They're slavers.

Twat dooming Reform? (4,7)

not that long ago (late 2010s), I had a single file on my computer called "bathroom bills" chronicling a handful of US states that forwarded anti-trans legislation. today, the file is renamed "anti-trans-LGBTQ legislation & politics" & it has 900 items in it. it only covers the tip of the iceberg...

If Reform win this by-election Labour are gonna get so much worse. If the Greens win Labour are gonna get so much worse. If Labour win, Labour are gonna get so much worse

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

being trans online is like [posts a silly joke] [sees news abt government trying to exterminate us] [like funny post by trans friend] [more news about gov wanting us dead] [repost funny joke] [trans friend shares horrible news about insurance issues/sexual violence/abusive family] [sees funny post]

CW: transphobia. See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤 This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did. But it's not just similar. It's *identical*. In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938. Paragraph 175 and 183.

Ways in which being trans fem and a vampire overlap: 1. I'm simultaneously seen as alluring and repulsive 2. I possess the weariness of many decades yet am also perpetually childlike 3. People are absolutely terrified that I will make more of me

Discernible among my friends and colleagues who remain heavy X users: affects both their sense of issue salience and the intellectual framework (i.e., usually race and migration) through which to understand them. Many think themselves exempt through critical thinking skills. You are what you eat!

Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling. If you're still on that platform, unhook yourself now. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests

Obviously "Continvoucly morged into develop" is the standout here but definite honorable mention for the "Tinn" axis which goes backwards in time

You've gotta see this thread to see an AI bro be embarrassingly unable to articulate what any of his agentic, vibe-coder bullshit is actually accomplishing. It's kind of amazing, or would be if we hadn't lashed the whole economy to this garbage.

Fans of sci-fi transformation stories that get gender with it: there's a trans character in episode 6 of Ryan Murphy's /The Beauty/ (on FX, Disney+ in the UK) and I just watched the episode with her in it and I don't even know how to feel, someone else watch it and talk to me I feel insane

i often think about this review

New School Guidance announces: Full bathroom ban. Full PE ban. Full school trip accommodation ban. Trans kids will not go to the bathroom, do PE or go on any school trips. 1/

Time was right about the transgender tipping point, but not for the reason we thought at the time.

Average D&D party tbh

My husband just texted me there's a downhill skier called Breezy Johnson in the same year that the ski jumpers are in trouble for letting out the crotches of their suits and this cannot be true?!

Something compelled me to make this

Fall In Boy

I don't get why people think rapists would pretend to be transgender. Transgender people get treated worse than rapists.

Here in the UK you can do it for £50,000 so long as you're willing to have somewhere between ten and one hundred times as much patience

The only things you need to transition are patience, faith and 250,000 dollars

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

Oh my GOD EVERYTHING IS MASCULINITY and also coarse demeaning sexualized bullshit

it's official: bluesky has its first thread-that-will-become-a-movie

Passengers are now fighting with other passengers because they don’t want the guy to be set off anymore than he is It seems like the consensus is get him to just stop the bus somewhere??

I don’t expect to ever get a Hugo nomination, little yet a win. But I suspect that if I do get one it’ll be this year, for Cuddled Little Vice, and I’d be lying if I said that wouldn’t make me an extremely happy little nerd. www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/the-cud...

#CoopRadio censoring the words "rhinestone cowgirl" from The Giver makes it sound substantially filthier than it actually is.

Welcome to Betwixtmas. The nether realm between Xmas and New Year's. The Swedes call it Mellandagarna. The liminal space where the days of the week go to die. The leftovers of time. The crotch of the year. The festive gooch. The holiday taint. The Merry Perenium.

*yelling from inside the getting kicked in the nuts factory* it's actually insane that you guys won't come in here

Looking up this song's lyrics led me to @eruditorumpress.com's thoughtful, troubled, troubling essay about Dave Carter—one of the most brilliant songwriters of her generation, who died just four months into her transition—and I find myself wanting to cry, yet again. Even those who love us, deny us.

There is another world, just a short way away from ours, in which The Butterfly Conservatory have just finished playing "Phantom Doll," and the song is sweet, melancholy, silly, funny, and so very far from being the last song Dave Carter wrote before we ever got to know her as she knew herself.

As the government's preferred EHRC leadership candidate, Mary-Ann Stephenson will have to meet with the Women and Equalities Committee prior to her appointment. One thing people can do is email members of the committee and ask them to scrutinise her position on transphobia.

Mary-Ann Stephenson was very active in feminist politics in Coventry during the 2010s. I can confirm she is extremely transphobic, although she always kept her nastiest comments behind closed doors. This proposed appointment should be resisted in the strongest possible terms.
