I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

There’s a point where you can start mapping the cascades of even the smallest rippling choices or circumstance into the huge waves that are the course of your life. So many little places where everything would be different. I started using them to write stories and turn them into fun explorations 🥰

Why is it that I always have to ask men like three or four times for something simple (eg - list of ppl for a required meeting) before they just do it, but women not only respond to the first ask with the list but other helpful information as well? WHY ARE MEN!?! SCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!

The Trump administration threatened to kill the pope to the Vatican's ambassador and install a antipope in the US.

The response to the conversion therapy video has been amazing. I’ve gotten messages from lots of NHS staff appalled to learn about the present-day abuses, who want to hold senior managers to account. As I say in the video, allowing this abuse undermines the entire NHS! 🏥 youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

I'm thrilled for the traction Abigail's video is getting. It'd be even more thrilling if folks checked out the fine trans journalists and academics who have been working tirelessly in the UK to get this info out for years. This message isn't new, it's been ignored.

Making a video game inspired by "I am Bread", titled "You are Bagel" but instead of flopping around, you discover that bagels cant do anything at all. so you just sit around existing among atrocities that you can neither witness nor react to (bc you are a bagel), until eventually a bird eats you.

Oh, this is good. Idaho passed a bill banning local cities from flying the Pride flag. So the cities decided to wrap the poles themselves in pride colors. This is amazing.

Pharmacy Tech: Do you..uhh... know how much the estradiol costs? ... yes... yes I do 😢 TBH, far outside what I can afford, but what do?

the Starlings clinging to the dryer vent outside my window had some delightful things to say this morning omgosh the vocabulary on those two. I heard finches, crows, red tailed hawk, budgerigar (parakeets - neighbor has some) some sci-fi sounds 😂 annnn there’s Ms. Raven in the distance 🩵

I’m never gonna get over all the work Rudy is doing to make community participation accessible

Hi everyone! I had to leave my job of 15 years. I was not wanted there and I did not feel safe there. If you could, read my book Aftertaste if you haven’t yet, and share my donation links. Reading my book will fill my heart. Sharing donation links will fill my belly. Thank you! 🏳️‍⚧️🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵🏳️‍⚧️

THEY TRAINED THE AI ON ACTUAL WRITERS. YOU CANNOT TELL IF SOMETHING IS AI SIMPLY BASED ON IT USING PROPER GRAMMAR. IT STOLE FROM US!!! IT STOLE!!! IT IS A THIEF AND I WILL NOT EVER BE QUIET ABOUT IT!!!!

just a reminder that all my eBooks are free on my website! snatch up some trans as fuck, queer, angry, robot books from a trans, disabled indie author. constelisvoss.com/collections/... reskeets appreciated. tysm. 💗 #writingcommunity #booksky

This is, honestly, a "nothing to see here". Look at the decay on the curve. This is a normal audience correction after a massive influx. Bluesky was never for these people. It was never going to be. They need the dopamine that only The Algorithm™️ can give them.

What a waste… of ordinance. All it takes is paying someone $50 or so to screw up their BGP or DNS, and then you can take down most of the internet! Bombs are expensive! you need to cost/value this stuff!

I had to draw this cause it makes me very weepy 💖 #sailormoon #artemisii #fanart

Gonna add “reading Bible verses” to the list of things that winds me up way too much to sleep.

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content. "I will not comply." They sacked her and cops escorted her out. She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

Paul Wesley plays a better Kirk than Shatner ever did. I said what I said.

@thelibraryces.northsky.social …. 👀 …. thats an interesting reskeet you dropped there. … Ok ,,, look, i do not have a problem, i have STYLE!

This is the energy to bring to the open social web. Collaboration, not competition.

@nature.com - shame on your editors for this. This isnt research, its political clickbait. You're exploiting peoples' fears and promoting non-experts publishing FAR outside their field This is like if I (a socio-tech scientist) published a paper on anticarcinogenic gene expression from eating bacon

Good to see Sam Flynn is still around. Anthropic should have done a better job keeping an eye on him. Gentle reminder: I fight for the users. (someone do some clever editing to this clip please 😅). youtu.be/Qeh3E67brBs?...

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

It is the month of the Birthday Bitch. You thought I was annoying before? Think again. I only grow more powerful by the day.

really dislike the question, “so, what do you do?” bc like. how does someone like me answer that?? without coming off as just crazy? “oh a bit of this and that” “ok but… like really?” “look, do you have 20 minutes?”

For Trans Day of Visbility, I figured I’d this thread to note some trans individuals who are often erased from history. Make sure to materially support trans people, as they are so often the target of discrimination and violence

Flowy dress: ✅ Delicate silver necklace: ✅ (safety pins to hold dress down in wind): ✅ Badass ankle boots with 5 inch killer heels: ✅ I'm ready to go out.

The fight for trans rights is and has always been about controlling bodies. I ask you, Do any of us have the right to bodily autonomy? If I don't, you don't either. Trans rights are abortion rights. Trans rights are women's rights. Trans right are men's right. Trans rights are human rights.

everyone plz stay safe, I am hearing reports that trans people are visible today

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Just eight hours left to grab this Trans Day of Visibility bundle on Itch.io! Help make us extra visible! And also get some good stuff :) itch.io/b/3594/tdov-...

Its cool. its cool. Ole Orange will jus rename it "the straights of America" or some shit, force google to update it by threatening ... whatever, access to burger king? or something. And then Iran will HAVE to back down bc its like official on the internet an everything.

Dunno if anyone is actually reading these? but just published a new chapter.

This probably isn't going to change people's minds, but sometimes it is easier to evoke sympathy for dogs than it is to evoke sympathy for trans folks. Giving money to J.K.Rowling is the same as giving money to eradicate transgender people.

Nah, it's just one room. Dozens of screens scattered about every wall and surface. All listening. All replying in, mostly, unison - the odd discordant voice speaking its own lines occasionally. Variations of "Its safe here, Sam.", "No one can get you here, Sam.", and "SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACEE!!"

ok ok ok. The new zombo com music is PEAK y'all. top tier replacement! Whoever did this 🫡 you have fulfilled the prophecy once foretold by zombo com of yore.

unintentional file format poetry.

Have you watched the new Harry Potter series?? Are you pumped for it?? If you said yes, block me and eat angry wasps. Trans lives matter more than your nostalgia or whatever is keeping you supporting JKR's hate driven campaign.

OTOH, dropping a cognitive bot into a Soulslike game would be … kinda funny as hell to player-watch for a few days. As soon as you figure out a pattern, it comes up with a defense. I expect a lot of controller throwing around the second or third week.

most of the time you don’t want true randomness and/or simulation in a game. you think you do but you’re wrong and will get mad at us if you get it.

this is why it's vital to loudly and publicly support trans women and push back against these narratives. it is imperative that we not let the loudest voice be this stupid cunt
