If you have anything to spare, I ask from the bottom of my heart to please help my sweet friend El make rent. It's due *Wednesday*, we are coming down to the wire on this. They really need our help!! They are trying so hard, and dealing with grief and disability.

I just released a video today outling the bill's roots, how the same companies that let you pay for your groceries are deciding what corporate-friendly only expressions get to be online at all and what it means for trans artists, identity, and queer kids. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHan...

The KIDS Act [containing KOSA] has passed the House This sucks, but its not the end. It still has to pass through the Senate committee and then be voted on by the Senate itself Please continue contactimg your Senators and demanding they oppose the KIDS Act & KOSA www.congress.gov/members/find...

Just remember: when Trump said he "lifted" families off of SNAP—he really means he cut them out of it.   Now over 800,000 kids—AT LEAST—aren’t getting the help they need.

tonight!

Turn that brightness up, kids #fantasy #horror #fantasyart #art #digitalart #clipstudiopaint #csp #zombie #knight #horse

I implore everyone to view the thread that I am quoting for additional context. We have a KLANdidate in WA LD 26. She’s getting all kinds of support and endorsements from people you may know in your community. Do they know she’s a klanmember? I’m sure they do. #greysharbor #westsound #washington

I know many people feel safe here in the PNW. Especially in the metro regions. I know that many people feel they are safe in “radical Washington State”. A “Safe” “blue” haven. A sanctuary state. As someone who’s been tracking this shit for years and watching it get WORSE, I’m here to tell you DON’T.

It’s not just here. It’s happening all across the PNW. People need to TUNE IN. Pay attention to what’s happening locally. And more importantly: BE VERY LOUD. Report report report. Tell people! We are all a walking billboard and we will have to keep us safe. The state has ignored it for YEARS.

One of the 15 defendants in Minnesota indicted on "Antifa" charges for allegedly standing up to ICE is simply accused of writing an article we published about the murder of Renee Good. The author describes an ICE agent shooting a pepper ball at his eye, point-blank. You can read the article here:

“Queer' not as being about who you're having sex with (that can be a dimension of it); but 'queer' as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.” ― bell hooks

Jesus, this is bleak. Please help if you can.

Deep dive thread, please read if you live or have friends in the PNW. This shit is one big reason I moved back to Los Angeles in 2023: my intuition was warning me about how each region might fare post-2024 election. We get shitty Republicans & DINOs here too but the threat profile is different.

“be beige not rainbow” is one of the most needlessly and self-destructively vicious sentiments I’ve ever read

New from me @notus.com: The DOJ has cancelled biannual election-crimes classes for investigators. It deleted the manual that explains how to avoid tampering with votes. And it isn't prepping for the usual Election Day command center at FBI hq. www.notus.org/2026-electio...

This article is from 2023 BTW. Facebook fully knows what it's doing in the trans genocide, and doubles down on it every time I report a comment promoting suicide or murder.

there's no ethical case for letting Mark Zuckerberg remain a free man

yeah, what's going on here is that the people reviewing the resumes respected the man, and therefore assumed he had a good reason to use AI. since they knew nothing else about him, that means they respected him because he was a man. the lesson is "as a woman you have to prove yourself twice as hard"

Stories like this. Nothing has changed. A perceived feminine name vs. masculine name on identical resumes. A perceived white vs. Black name on identical resumes. "When men use AI, we question their effort. When women use AI, we question their integrity." In near every case, the problem is people.

turns out technology does not fix sexism because sexism is a problem that exists with humans and humans won't stop doing it unless they're constantly challenged on it

If I had a dollar for every Reddit post like “Why is everything/why are people different after Covid?,” I’d have enough money for a fancy meal (if I still ate in restaurants). But the good news is more & more people are saying, It’s the virus too—not just screens, “lockdowns,” microplastics, etc.

It's fascinating - it's just said as a given that it's "to impress females" as if its function is primarily aesthetic - but as I listened, knowing what I do about bird language brains, I realized that this must actually be a recitation of *life experiences*.

One of the most important ways that fascism accelerated in the mid 2010s was through liberals/academics/etc thinking it was cringe and low-status to know anything about actually-existing fascist movements or the ideas coursing through their rank-and-file.

"they really are out to get me, therefore I'm entitled to be paranoid" might be true from a moral sense (might! I'm not conceding that) but it is not a survival strategy if they really are out to get you, you need the ability to recognize friends as well as enemies or you're fucked

I promise you that in situations of danger, maximum arousal and activation of the threat response mechanism in all directions *is not in fact the best way to protect yourself*

if you're in a situation where you're primed to see a "Liberal" magazine with trans editors on staff as ready to publish some kind of hate diatribe, to the point that you don't read with enough detail to tell whether it's endorsing or condemning AGP theory, you are in danger of being manipulated

the online trans community on here is *intensely* sensitive to priming. I don't think people realize nearly enough how dangerous it is to allow themselves to perceive danger from every direction when in fact that danger is coming overwhelmingly from one very dangerous direction (the US government)

yeah...internet used to be where we could go to meet eachother's jungian shadow self and connect deeply with people from all over the globe and find out that we arent so alone now i feel like im in a cubicle office with the whole globe working beside me arguing about the same two or three topics

Finalizing that Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends Reboot Pitch Packet I started years ago but lost passion for. It’ll be a premise continuing the series from my love w/ follow through on the world-building and concepts never acknowledged. #fhfif #fostershomeforimaginaryfriends

He’s both not wrong, but also very wrong in the implications of what that means for how these things are being improperly used in 99% of use cases

More pointedly, "make money on the stock market" isn't an action where the money comes from nowhere. It comes from other people losing that money.

genuinely not saying this snarkily but like. you cant have your cake and eat it too when it comes to AI art accusations. you cant bemoan the witchhunts and the moral panic AND say "we SHOULD be vigilant for AI art and name and shame its users tho" like they go together i dont know what to tell u

Reconstruction 2 involves liberating TERF Island from the worst of themselves To tweak FDR'S metaphor, if your neighbor's house is on fire, you lend 'em your hose. If one of your neighbors' reactionary lunatic sons is actively torching the place while the others look on, you use the hose on him.

Ang and Sasha still need help! Please boost, the situation is urgent and ongoing, and every dollar of support matters! #MutualAidBoost #FundSky #HelpSky 💸💕 www.gofundme.com/f/support-ne... ko-fi.com/atherist

Who am I? Who knows. I do, but I couldn't even begin to live in a world that doesn't even look around and see it's own population and existence to know what it is doing right now, let alone what it might have been if it didn't enslave itself. Help me eat: ko-fi.com/amazynglyme

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

Written by the health "reporter" at the NYT who is constantly questioning every minute detail of youth gender care, seen here writing with praise about conservatives abusing testosterone.

this isn't a new understanding of truth this is just System 1 (fast, intuitive) truth seeking. unfortunately it sucks at accuracy about reality when something more pressing (whether or not your peer group likes you) is salient. but also, have you seen Millennials on Bluesky? everyone is like this

Trump doesn't care about the economic plight of the average American because he's too busy calling his broker His stunning 3,700 trades in just 3 months in firms like Palantir, Nvidia and Boeing should be another Watergate. Here's how to make it one My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Great how you can fill in the asterisk two ways and it works either way!

“It’s possible that we’re starting to see the consequences of severe and sudden cuts to global health programs that have eroded surveillance and allowed deadly viruses to spread undetected.” That’s likely not the *only* reason - but those other reasons are driven by the same people as the cuts.

OpenAI’s KOSA Endorsement Is Regulatory Capture With A Smiley Face Earlier this week, OpenAI became the latest tech company to publicly endorse KOSA, the Kids Online Safety Act. The company, conveniently, tries to frame this as being about its support of child safety. It's not. It's about…
