4/1001 albums: The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

This is creepy when we recognise contemporary AI is all humans all the way down, just obfuscated behind the screen or dashboard. Based on stolen data, stolen labour, stolen humanity... AI is not currently emancipatory and just serves the privileged and deskills those who think this is automation.

does anybody ever just wake up and want to listen to weezer

3/1001 albums: Grace - Jeff Buckley

I don’t want to depress you all but the entire media and political class will have moved on from this latest Trump racist outburst by tomorrow, Monday at the very latest. He gets away with it every time - because he is allowed to get away with it, and because he floods the zone.

can it stop snowing. please.

emphasis on the BY transfems FOR transfems

ISTG this album was made in a lab for me 😭 (highly recommend Mandy, Indiana's work if you're into death grips, kim gordon, etc) music.apple.com/us/album/urg...

Hi all, I'm leading a study! We're looking to understand transfem experiences searching for information related to transitioning online, setting transition-related goals, and making decisions based on the information acquired in these searches.

The ASPS has come out against trans youth surgical care. The AMA then endorsed the ASPS. Meanwhile, WPATH's president-elect testified on behalf of a detransitioner who won their case. And hospitals capitulate to Trump. I write my indictment of the American medical system on trans youth care.

@katie.bzky.team inspired me with this but i'm doing the 1001 albums everybody needs to listen to thing. today's album is 1999 by Prince...

best part about being trans is confusing cis people people about your gender. truly a phenomenal experience would recommend

It feels worth saying that the thing that unifies men as disparate as Noam Chomsky, Deepak Chopra and Trump is patriarchy. Patriarchy, hatred of women, and the need to dominate them, persists across race and class status. Left movements refuse a robust analysis of persisting gender violence.

Cutting-edge political commentary from the folks over at the daily wire. (This further proves my point that the culture wars are a distraction from the real material needs of Americans and the structural class inequalities that propagate them)

being a trans woman is crazy. "yeah all my opps are billionaire pedophile rapists"

i should leave my laptop at work more often. it's nice to go home and be like "OH NO I CAN'T PROGRAM OR WRITE STUFF. GUESS I'LL HAVE TO PLAY VIOLIN AND READ A WRINKLE IN TIME"

Does anybody have any reccs for Americana/Indie Rock releases sort of in the vein of Wednesday, MJ Lenderman, Drive-by Truckers, etc.

I made it up to chapter 5 today. This is DENSE!

reading a fun one today

i need a man like him fr music.apple.com/us/album/hea...

words cannot express my anger at how christofascists are claiming persecution, while actively DOING the persecution

le estrogen

I'm pretty proud of the fact that, at a time when most universities are shying away from work with marginalized communities, my own is highlighting it www.khoury.northeastern.edu/research/adv...

18-25 is definitely an odd age range to choose....

My advice to folks thinking about participating in trans research: look carefully into who is running these studies. Is the principal investigator trans? Is the student investigator trans? If not, stay the hell away from that study. Don't trust trans "science" run by cis people, simple as that.

A man dressed as Batman attended a Santa Clara city council meeting in California, urging officials to stop cooperating with ICE, as immigration enforcement faces growing public backlash.

it seems that the youtube algorithm is dead set on recommending my video to people who the criticism is aimed at 😭

this feels like AGES ago. good excuse to relisten to the album though!!!!

I think a big thrust of a lot of my feminist work has been "Not to upturn standpoint epistemology or anything, but could y'all recognize that even marginalized perspectives will have a plurality of opinions?" "And then, get better at recognizing the conservative bullshit instead of parroting it?"

colonoscopy prep really is the worst

boston's finest

one of my colleagues and i noticed something really in how my videos perform. Videos directly relating to trans problems / trans joy? The Youtube Algorithm LOVES them, it reaches transfems and encourages good discourse. Videos critiquing conservatives or Christianity? The exact opposite...

I cannot express how obsessed I am with this album. It's so fitting for our current political moment too. Looking forward to what Geese does next! music.apple.com/us/album/get...

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star) Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

The tactic of demonizing empathy was for moments like this. When people have no empathy for others and are loyal to power above all else, they will believe whatever those in power say, no matter how false, and even distrust their own eyes when they see others being harmed.

As someone who researches social platforms, it's fascinating seeing what everybody's doing post-TikTok. What the new competitors are, whether RedNote is viable for U.S. audiences... really interesting stuff

IT'S RELEASE DAY! "Brown/Trans/Les", my second book of transfeminist essays, is out now---and so is the audiobook of "Trans/Rad/Fem", if you want to re-experience the original in a new format! Itch: taliabhatt.itch.io/transradfem Audible: www.audible.com/pd/Trans-Rad...

subverting god's plan with estrogen is some hot demongirl shit

im from the south and this is the first time i've seen more than 6 inches of snow at one time 😭 WHY IS THERE SO MUCH

We are SO back www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhLw...

cuomo could never

Driving away from Minneapolis today, with a heart both heavy and full. And I'm thinking about how the fascists claim to be fighting in the name of Christianity... They're making this big deal of a protest at a church. They're making these targeted arrests, claiming that anti-ICE is antireligious.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

i love that everybody i know in my generation who grew up watching these Barbie movies, either turned out trans, lesbian, or both

LMAOOOOOOO

DHS legislation that funds ICE without policy restrictions needs 60 votes to pass. Tell your Senator NO MORE funding for ICE and demand accountability with this link to a form letter drafted by the National Immigration Law Center act.nilc.org/page/92715/a... Deadline is next Friday
