I think it's actually essential to children's moral development to be exposed to short stories moderately beyond their reading level where a bunch of fucked up shit happens and then instead of offering a moral lesson or any sort of emotional or narrative resolution it just ends.

folks they’re calling it a suicidal mix of isolationism and interventionalism the likes of which the world has never seen

you can't be serious lol

Everyone pony the fuck fpr the librarian who just got sacked for refusing to remove LGBTQ books from the kids' section of the library.

really great how the end result of today's events, on TDoV, is a bunch of people publicly calling gay and trans people mentally ill and sending harassment directly to their accounts for telling a guy his poorly written post was poorly written

trans day of visibility with my fuckin sword look at my sword

A bunch of legal podcasts and analyses will be discussing today's SCOTUS decision with lawyers who are neither queer nor trans, so if you want to talk to an attorney who (1) is actually trans, and (2) experienced conversion therapy, hit me up. [email protected].

These payments are the result of a long legal battle with Musk, who promised to pursue Twitter execs to the ends of the earth rather than settle. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/t...

happy trans day of visibility

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.

Great. Now Benjamin fucking Ryan is tweeting about this. Now this will get that fuckface Jesse Singal tweeting to his transphobe followers

This is my trans agenda

Three of whom have now deactivated

Since you're already getting roasted here, let me explain the problem with your post as calmly as I can. Making your allyship contingent on a marginalized group being nice to you all the time is not allyship. Trans people are in danger in the US. We're scared and hurting and not always "palatable".

Mark, you could be completely right, but once you observe the reality that people are using your post as justification for retaliation, you should consider deleting it and moving on.

maybe it's because trans people are at far higher risk of homelessness, buddy

was skimming a gamerant article about tomodachi life today and immediately closed the tab when one of the subheads read "[something something something] — and that's a good thing." not even making an effort to disguise the ai slop

It's wild how thin-skinned people have gotten here on this gods blessed internet. Queer folks get told this sort of thing all the time on here, and while I don't support anyone being told it, its funny when it happens to a cis guy and all of a sudden it's the fault of every tranny for being hurt.

The second trans people disagree with a white guy with a column™ they're put on blast and called insane or a psyop lmao

This LA station is an aberration but the national media complaining about almost $4/gallon has been a funny reminder of how nobody cares about the West coast (with our strange "import from Japan" customs)

Hold up, hold up, hold up. They are hearing the birthright citizenship case on April fool's day? Who the fuck is writing this season of Collapsing Empire!?

“i’d find you in every universe” but it’s a threat

As we all know, there is absolutely nothing bad that ever happens when an increasingly authoritarian government requests lists of Jews. *puts finger to imaginary earpiece* I've just been informed about all of history....

god i can't stand this flavor of american evangelical. i always hoped my study of them would never be relevant

"Conversion therapy" doesn't work. It never has and never will. All it does is teach a young person to feel shame for who they are and that repression later manifests into unhealthy behavior. Today's Supreme Court ruling will result in a generation of shame and subsequent harm.

This moon launch honestly should be bigger new than it has been. I didn't even know this until listening to NPR two hours ago I feel sad that billionaires have ruined space exploration for many ppl but being a Trek account, I couldn't NOT comment on this

Fun fact, most catholics get yelled at by the pope exactly zero times in their whole lives but Censures Georg here has managed it like five times in six years

exhausted suddenly and gotta lie down, Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream demo stream will be delayed to 8pm EST/5pm PST, sorry

What's more out of character: 1) describing Ed as saying "marriage is for straights" 2) Lucius being a van lifer who is also "not outdoorsy"

mads accidentally lobotomiized her miis in the tomodachi life demo. f. but the ingo, emmet, and elesa miis she made are SO cute

when has an explicitly christian nationalist executive demanding jew lists ever presaged something bad

if i needed to choose one thing to post for every #TakeTwoTuesday it would be this the amount of all those little transitions was actually insane for me to do

I’m no lawyer but I find it interesting that Christian conversion therapy practitioners have the right to tell kids they aren’t trans but those kids’ teachers apparently don’t have the right to say they are trans and people on the internet may not have the right to affirm them being trans either

Well, I'm up to my old tricks again :D This time #deadloch themed.

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.

MY EDITOR: “Please refrain from sending a 5 minute voice message of you saying ‘I will annihilate you’ over and over again to my work email. This could be construed as sexual harassment.” ME: “you know I don’t mean it that way” EDITOR: “I know”

Actually working in politics makes you appreciate journalists just a bit more. Only a bit. Also it helps if you differentiate between journalists and op-ed writers and journalist hacks and op-ed hacks.

I wonder if this will destabilize the Gulf, and I am not joking

Well that eases my mind a bit about the absolutely bonkers parallel approaches at SFO. Not looking forward to all the knock-on effects, though.

I'm not mad about the FAA finally making changes to ensure airspace remains safe. But the impact to the industry directly and knock-on downstream effects are going to be significant. Airlines will adjust. People will adjust. But this all has costs associated with it.

NEW: Thomson Reuters, the media company which is also a data broker, has long provided personal data for ICE tools, according to documents obtained by 404 Media and sources. There are also indications its data is now part of the Palantir system ICE uses to find which neighborhoods to target.

cracking up that people are calling what happens at the end of the tomodachi life demo the "lobotomii" because they only talk about the retail version of the game when i start again on a new profile for stream i am NOT getting them clothes from where and wear because that's what triggers it
