Trans people in Georgia, particularly around Atlanta -- Have you experienced discrimination from police when trying to enter a public restroom? If so, I want to chat with you and hear about your side of what happened. Reach out to me - [email protected], or DM for my Signal!

im working on a big article that i hope will be out by the end of the month. if you would like a preview of what to expect, might i offer a reading recommendation of some essential theory: theanarchistlibrary.org/library/pete... :3

I do not think all anti-Zionists are antisemitic, but anti-Zionists who label Zohran Mamdani a "Zionist" simply because he condemned swastikas drawn on a Jewish day school in Brooklyn are in fact antisemites.

mamdani having a short-lived soundcloud rap career 8 years ago is perhaps one of the most fitting things to see in the first millennial mayor of nyc

Hello..👋 My name is Mahmoud. I live in Gaza. 😔 I live under the rubble of our house. 💔 And our suffering continues. 😔 gofund.me/a1fffdbd

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

Nasser just sent me this photo of two of his kids who got to go to a party 🥳 in Gaza today and told me his whole life is a dedicated to them ❤️

today seems like a good day to mention that as someone who grew up in pa, i learned how to make some damn good hoagies. im making some cheesesteaks tn, here's a photo of a messy grilled italian i made a few days ago. tasted amazing :3 no one can make hoagies like a pennsylvanian 😤

Link to the extraordinary intervention, which has likely been influenced by the outside groups which have been agitating to censor the truth about the Gaza Genocide all year. His "NPOV working group" is part of his attempt to force Wikipedia to deny the genocide. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ga...

Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales is trying to use his name to convince Wikipedia editors to deny the Gaza Genocide, recognized by many human rights organizations. Although he's not seizing control, this is an extreme attempt to sway Wikipedia content in violation of its founding principles.

the way it treats the everyday people who live in pawnee makes it unbearably nasty. i like a number of the actors on it (not chris pratt, terrible man) but it is so deeply shitty

I rewatched Parks and Rec recently, and it is the most shallow liberal dem vote blue no matter who garbage you can find in a sitcom, it has aged so poorly. It is not even remotely close to being a form of leftist media Sure it has some laughs mixed in, but it’s 100% lib fan fiction

sitcoms are not a real battlefield for ideological theory, but I hate Parks and Recreation so deeply that I cannot resist a chance to kick it in the teeth.

parks and rec utterly despises the ordinary people of pawnee. it deeply resents anyone outside of leslie's inner circle. deeply nasty work that thinks itself hopeful and optimistic.

this is unfortunately still notable in mn. there's a huge contingent of people rallying behind the somali community here, but there are still plenty of racist shitheads, especially in the more yuppie areas of the city. just a sign there's more work to do

hello once again, first wednesday of the month tornado siren testing. you gave me a heart attack once again

regardless of your thoughts on last night's elections, the need to organize does not go away, and arguably is just as important. elections wont save us - our communities will

1. There are three very important constraints on tonight's Mamdani victory you have to keep in mind when we're looking at what he's going to be able to do in office (taking him in good faith as someone who wants to make life better for people and discounting Trump). Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

spent most of the past few days just unable to move because an awful ibs & gerd flareup. finally better and getting on things, but god i hate being ill lol

Australia, March 2025: The hate and sexual violence against immigrant trans women extends across the globe. At least eight trans women have been held in one Australian male detention center between Oct 2024 and March 2025. One woman says agents looked through intimate photos on her phone.

Thread. The fight for trans and queer liberation is a deeply working class fight.

new discourse idea: is ben shapiro a twink or a twunk

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that the Trump administration likely illegally suspended SNAP benefits, ruling that at least reduced distribution is required to go forward under law using the $6 billion reserve fund. Judge gives the Trump admin until Monday to respond as to whether it will act.

stop arguing about this crap. go outside and help your friends get hormones and stay fed. every minute you spend trying to justify why it's actually good for trans people for us to misgender each other is a minute you aren't spending helping trans women in your community access HRT.

can someone explain to me how calling a trans woman who doesn't want hormones a "cissexual" against her will isn't any different than calling her a male? the word literally means "same sex as your assigned sex at birth," which would be male. why is this even discourse? trans women are females.

i have used snap for years. been trying to get on it for months. so much for that

the fact that "cissexual" discourse is still going on is so stupid to me. there is literally nothing to gain from this discussion. call urself whatever u want. dont force a label onto other queer people. thats it, we dont need a days long discourse that helps no one. go do some mutual aid instead

Still, many nonprofits continue to erase these resources, including the prominent domestic violence nonprofit NNEDV. But the small wins show us that our voices matter. And history will not look kindly on those who caved to fascism and helped perpetuate sexual violence against trans people.

In February, @madycast.com reported that some sexual violence nonprofits had quietly erased trans victims of abuse from their websites, out of fear of Trump. The story went viral and was picked up by other outlets. One org restored resources, and told us that our reporting spurred the reversal.

In the current anti-trans status quo, facing bigotry is not rare. For our communities it's a fact of everyday life. Trans people each have personal stories of discrimination against them, or a loved one, for just trying to exist. Here, in a powerful piece by @thefreeradical.org, are four of them:

cat owners - do you have any recommendations for good, cheap, & more complex toys? i've been getting Sandwich a lot of more basic toys cause they're cheaper, but he's been getting bored of them more and more. i tried adding some variety, but hasn't worked super well. any thoughts?

i love when my friends ask if i know some other trans person or know ppl who do, because the answer is almost always yes. trans ppl rly do all know each other and a good chunk of the time its through romance, intense beef, or long distance friendships 😭😭

These and other Sudanese media have been reporting closely on the fall of El Fasher. Please stop saying "nobody" is reporting on Sudan - our journalists and others risking their lives on the ground are not "nobody". bsky.app/profile/note...

Hi friends 👋🏾 I'm raising funds for North Kordofan ERR, which is in dire need of support. The situation in areas like Bara, Sheikan & Alrahad is extremely dire. Summary in the thread below. Every little bit helps: paypal.me/BSonblast Ven/Cash: BSonblast #KeepEyesOnSudan

We need more eyes on Sudan - the Darfuri genocide is horrific, and there's plenty we can do. I recommend giving Sara Elhassan, aka BSonBlast, a follow. She's been covering the Darfuri genocide for years, and has compiled a list of ways to help ppl amidst genocide: linktr.ee/bsonblast (1/3)

Sometimes we don’t need a miracle… just kind hearts. If only 5 people donate £25 each, we can cover our daily needs — food, supplies, and dignity. Your help today, no matter how small, makes a real difference in our day. Be one of the five who keep life possible for us.❤️

There need to be more "Saw Gerrera was right" graphics. A whole arc of Andor season 2 is basically "yeah the hardened insurgent is cranky and hypervigiliant but good lord does he f'ing call it a shocking amount of the time."

Queer Bluesky: how old were you when you came out and how old are you now? i first came out as a gay guy when i was 13, but realized that wasnt quite right, and then came out to friends as bi/pan when i was 14. shortly after, came out as trans; started transitioning at 18!* im 23 now

got my hair touched up, once again am rocking a proper sideshave :3

i hate having sleep apnea so much. i cant control how long i sleep, i wake up physically exhausted and am fatigued constantly, and preparing for my day takes me hours because im compensating for not having been able to breathe while sleeping currently bugging my doctor to help me get a cpap

Last month's marketing blitz depicted post-Helene Asheville as happy, fully recovered and ready to welcome rich tourists. Nothing could be further from the truth: Asheville is still a disaster zone. The first part of our new series, The Crisis After the Crisis. ashevilleblade.com?p=5349 #avlnews

99% of trans people I've met feel exactly this way

Does calling some random they/he nonbinary person a "cissexual transgender" whatever the fuck that means actually materially help trans people? As someone who has done her part to materially help trans people keep healthcare this year, I promise you it's not because I harassed nonbinary people

this idea there's some special or correct way of being trans that gets you a cool neat label of being transsexual sounds appealing at first, especially when combined with rhetoric around how we need that distinction to protect trans healthcare. But ask yourself, do we actually need that?
