@govwesmoore.bsky.social yesterday as we observed trans day of remembrance, one of our sisters languished in mens jail, deprived of her medication, for peaceful speech. now they want to surveil her for 5 years. are you going to end this injustice and pardon her? www.thebanner.com/community/lo...

'Holistic'

so when a platform allows AI it's "caving to the slop machine" and when it bans AI it's "feeding the slop machine" i think some people are just turning AI into their permission to be pessimistic and alarmist about everything, they're hooked on the feeling of being paul revere

everyone grieves differently, but if you're like me - the type of person who has trouble reacting to a death until you go to the funeral and all the emotions pour out - you may find that TDoR is easier to process if you lean in to the catharsis.

It's on apt. It's literally on Cargo. It's on DockerHub with ads. It's literally on nuget. You can probably find it on snap. Dude it's on portage. It's a Homebrew original. It's on pacman. You can download it on nixpkgs. You can go to pkgsrc and watch it. Log onto the Windows Store right now.

For Transgender Day of Remembrance this year, please remember why we grieve. Our sadness is one of the most important biological adaptations that humans have evolved. Because it drives us to seek each other out. We mourn so we can come together and become strong again in community.

when i get blinded by these things on residential streets i fully pull over (because i can't fucking see, and we're in a neighborhood, where there are people trying to live their lives and not get killed by a vehicle) and of course the dickhead always blows past me doing 40

obligatory repost of possibly the best ntsb report ever, and a cautionary tale:

hello large open source repo with wide industry adoption, i'm here to submit 1. first ever pull request to *any* OS repo, minor bugfix, merged 2. another minor bugfix, merged 3. BREAKING API CHANGE + NEW INTERFACE AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF MODULES, RESOLVING AN 8 MONTH STALE PR SOMEONE ELSE GAVE UP ON

“lazy use of unwrap blew up a process and took out the internet” bzzt. wrong. judicious use of unwrap blew up a process instead of allowing an Extremely Named CVE to happen and spraying your bank account credentials all over the public internet

i think one thing we owe sarah mcbride is at least a bit more credulousness about negative rumors about her. like, people say "she's zionist" like it's a pillar of her politics, meanwhile she took a donation from AIPAC once... and then immediately started voting like AOC. now AIPAC disvows her.

my read is that the people who don't understand the utility of this don't have enough friends for it to occur to them that adding people from contacts would be a significant time saver for people with a lot of friends

do people not realize that "teehee actually i'm doing magic by saying wrong things and then waiting for someone to get mad at me then saying it was my plan all along, i'm influencing the fabric of reality by making u mad" is just the trans version of the 2012 cole sprouse social experiment tumblr

i think that one of our most ridiculous behaviors as a community on this site is -post photo that's either nude or suggestive -don't label it ourselves -it gets labeled by the automod, which doesn't issue any penalty, it just puts the respective label on the post -we complain

i guess all the 3-cue readers in the replies and quotes ran out of cue budget before they hit the first words in the first bullet point

if you're trans you have to live. you also have to not get thrown in prison due to fucking around. too many of us are tortured in prisons already. please do not increase that number.

reminder that if you get subpoena'd or otherwise are surveilled in anyway, you need to stop posting and shut the fuck up. seeing replies saying "dont comply in advance" - that's not what this is. its keeping yourself from digging a grave. talk to a lawyer, and stop posting. (1/4)

🔮 tag yourselves :3

its cool how the internet actually works like this xkcd comic from 2011 now

you used to be able to make animated children's films that take place almost entirely in a beautifully rendered hellish landscape

Whomst among us hasn't felt a little vacuum about snackie all done

BTTC is a scam organization that makes up fake stories, often eerily similar to that of real trans people facing violence in the weeks prior to their latest story, in order to simultaneously grift money and also, mostly likely, provide some kiwifarmers behind the account with a laugh at our naivety.

i will regularly like two tweets by different people who i think are making a broader point about something only to later notice both tweets were subtweeting the other person as some sort of dunk on them

On the surface, Celeste is about how being trans lets you double-jump, but when you dig deeper into the themes and meaning, it’s really about how being plural lets you triple-jump.

i still mask every day but that's because i have an anxiety disorder. it's a coping tool for my anxiety disorder. it's not an evidence-driven approach to living safely in modern society. mass masking in 2025 is not evidence-driven. the benefits do not outweigh the harms. reevaluate your priors.

Is this evidence that rape culture is more important to the bourgeoisie than their class interests? Patriarchs who use family (derogatory) structures to propagate wealth are all rapebrained—true since before antiquity. Is capital subordinate to rape? Not just deeply shitty but foundational to class.

it's kinda sad that we now have mountains of data saying that mask mandates do very little, while air filtration reduces transmission of dozens of diseases by an absurd degree, but all the "disability" "activists" are focused on the masks because it's an in-group signifier, while HVAC systems aren't

Your support for anyone doesn't really do anything to change the tide of history but you could at least respect the decision of four sisters to make the petition that they did. Deeply disrespectful American disaffection.

Catholic schools are used as legal conversion therapy because you have to wear a gendered uniform cut your hair a certain way etc etc and you are expelled if you don’t. Do you understand this. do you understand how many kids at each school are there for that reason

Child marriage is heinous, but one thing I never see brought up in those discussions is that if you are under 18, you cannot file for divorce. If you are under 18 and married to an adult, they are your legal guardian and make decisions for you. That is not a partnership.

i see we're doing another round of the "prison abolitionism has no concrete policy proposals" complaint again

Personally, I think the idea that all women should be measured by the failures of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris is actually a sort of sexist doomerism.

exonerating apologies compelled during settlement which do not/cannot say they were compelled should be illegal. they're near exclusively used for sexual abusers to launder their reputation back, using legal leverage against their victims.

To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.

sometimes transphobes try to say that transness is just an abuse response, sometimes we ourselves fret over whether abuse influenced our gender, but honestly? i think that even if transness is sometimes an outcome of abuse, it's still beautiful.

i once voted in an election for county executive where my preferred, progressive candidate won by 9 (NINE) votes. he immediately raised taxes on higher incomes and real property values, and funded more services. they keep trying to pin minor corruption scandals on him but nobody gives a shit.

ALSOBROOKS? never. trust. a. fucking. prosecutor.

something really on the nose about a man putting a servant robot in a stereotypical maid dress and then it immediately re-enacting a stereotypically feminine form of self harm, all while he screams at it

they really said they can tolerate millions going hungry to stand against the regime, but they draw the line at people like themselves who can afford air travel having to take amtrak for thanksgiving instead. jesus fucking christ.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.
