I wonder what history class is like for kids these days. "Yeah, the Nazis were evil, committed genocide, and had to be defeated in a world war... oh by the way, Mussolini's daughter is in power in Italy, the Nazis are the second largest party in Germany, and the US...well they're doing it too :)"

I was raised atheist so I didn't know what the rapture was until I was much older and I just thought "that sounds stupid". But it explains why so many Americans believe in crypto.

there’s an astronomical amount of christian money that goes into propagandizing towards Jewish people to either convert us, or get us to move to Israel for this shit. being openly jewish while living in the South was an… experience, i’ll just leave it at that

Awww isn't it sweet watching the rich americans slowly learn about community care?

The White House twitter account is posting based shit

Can someone pls explain to me why fascists are more scared of autism than cancer? I genuinely don't understand what autism is beyond "you like trains and don't like shopping centres" and I have no idea why fascists think this is the devil's work.

So she still thinks legal authority will save the US. Is this what autism is?

Trump and RFK railing against autism is so weird, you both just allowed an autistic guy to slash your entire government.

I'll stop stimming like a manic squirrel when I'm dead you cunt.

Yeah thanks america for being completely insane

Fascist historians are gonna have so much fun in 50 years

For the first time: @honeycomb.io is hiring open roles in Australia!!! We have this senior role open as well as a mid-level role. job-boards.greenhouse.io/honeycomb/jo... Once we fill these, we will have a thriving APAC team of 5 people: Field CTO, account exec, customer architect, and 2 support.

So many high profile accounts think they're doing activist work by posting to their massive accounts when in reality they're just screaming and crying until someone else with less privilege solves the problems for them. There are things you can do, all of them are too proud to do it.

You are doing nothing at all, Alejandra.

This is a Natalie Feliks piece. She’s good. Go read.

This is great Erin but it might be better if you produce content that actually helps people rather than just inducing panic attacks in people. Reporting facts is one thing, advising and empowering your audience is another. And the American community has nfi what to do.

"As a trans journalist, I know how hard it is to find any role at all in the Australian media landscape. I can’t even imagine at what point the establishment starts taking an interest in the plight of my community. Even scarier is thinking about when that point might happen" @nataliesqrl.bsky.social

Excellent piece from @nataliesqrl.bsky.social "The media coverage of Charlie Kirk was borderline hagiographic."

My newest article for Crikey! This one's about the constant political violence against trans people in America, and the hypocrisy of leaders calling out "political violence" against Kirk, but staying silence about violence against my community. A hard read so stay safe 💗💖

Opinion | Australian media is desperate to maintain interest in this killing, but seemingly with no interest or care in how it has been weaponised to attack my community.

It's me! I'm on RRR again tonight!! 🥰

Tonight 7pm on Spin Cycle @3rrrfm.bsky.social we wrap up Radiothon. The rad @nataliesqrl.bsky.social joins us to look at the last week, and hasn't it shown us how vital independent news media is? So pls throw us your coin. With @rachelwithers.bsky.social @theshufflediary.bsky.social SUBSCRIBE!

"During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night." -Dan Savage Fight not for your future, not even for your present, but for the cherished memories of your past, that made you feel it was all worth it.

Is it a controversial take to think pointing out that someone's hair is greasy or someone's outfit is shit isn't the same thing as making fun of someone for their appearance? If my outfit is shit, I'd want my friends to tell me. Otherwise how can I trust ppl to be genuine when they say I'm pretty?

Finnster getting cancelled for something totally meaningless, bro truly is one of us :)

Idk if it's just a me thing, but I've always hated being called comrade. It feels so icky and dehumanising.

it is very apparent that this is just a reaction to bad press from far right outlets and not a genuine interest in trust & safety on this website.

you seem to have zero interest in protecting trans and palestinian people on this website yet go batting for a nazi with rule enforcements on jokes that didn't result in moderation just a few months ago when other famous, widely hated political figures died.

maia is back! bsky.app/profile/crim...

I’m not the first person to make this observation, but this being the biggest story in the world at present really speaks to how much Twitter still serves as a universal assignments editor for English-language journalists.

whatever means necessary means whatever means necessary

hi @safety.bsky.app why did my post get taken down? what broke community guidelines or at all was threatening? also i still hope he rests in piss

maia getting banned from bluesky is definitely more upsetting than anything else that's happened this week. I demand all flags be lowered to half mast immediately.

‼️UPDATE: Fellow trans journalist maia arson crimew (@crimew.gay) has also been banned from Bluesky following a post saying "rest in fucking piss" with an image of the Nathan Grayson tweet at the top of this thread. maia told me it will try to appeal the unjust ban after a good nights sleep.

Well, fxck. @crimew.gay has been suspended over Charlie Kirk's death

Bluesky has banned Aftermath journalist Nathan Grayson for 24 hours for quote tweeting his own article with the words "rest in piss," which apparently is now against the rules here.

I'm baffled to say this but you don't need to bend over backwards to feel something for a shitty person dying. Not caring or even feeling positively won't turn you into a murderer. This idea of moral corruption is a christian one. People need to be way, WAY more broken or radicalized for killing

Who is "we", Erin? Who do you claim to represent and speak for? Because if you claim to be an authority on the trans community, maybe you should spend a lot more time sympathising with our emotions than the emotions of Nazis.

The idea that Kirk promoted free speech is just totally detached from reality. He promoted hate speech, and the conflation of the two is why there is so much violence.

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

She really thought she was kicking goals with this post wasn't she

Must listen :)

Today's mass betrayal shows everyone who was telling us we should be thanking McBride and Democrats for stopping the Medicaid ban earlier this year was full of shit. The second we stop staring Dems down as they wave their blades at our necks, they push the knife into our backs and twist it.

They're cowards and simps to power. They're terrified of their opponents. Genuinely why are you surprised.

Non-political violence is pretty hot though hey erin?

The Dems desperately trying to suck up and offer condolences while the fash scream that they should all be slaughtered in revenge is a good demonstration of why liberalism never works.

Bold new flavours of swerfiness and misogyny coming from VicSoc rn. Iconic takes such as "there is nothing empowering about sex" and "masturbation is disgusting" sure to put them on the fast track to revolution :)

I'm the least professional community organiser in history

Horrific footage circulating of the National Socialist Network attacking the peaceful Camp Sovereignty in Melbourne. We've heard the main targets of their extreme violence were women.

Update from australia: we just had massive neo-nazi rallies across the country and I'm drinking wine and watching thank god you're here with my girlfriend
