ATTENTION REPUBLICANS: if you’re waiting in line to join Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham, stay in line

Sometimes I feel cute and get the urge to post selfies but then I remember I don't want the internet to know what I look like

Composable Moderation, unless you compose a moderation tool we disagree with.

Seeking accountability within an ostensibly progressive organization, or even just notifying organizations that one of their members is a rapist, is a grueling traumatizing and dehumanizing experience. I can't even imagine *ever* getting cops involved

Pretty tired of men observing the "HR lady" phrasing and thinking it's a reflection of class anxiety about email jobs and not undiluted misogyny from men whose animating principle, whether they acknowledge it or not, is "girls are not the boss of me"

Do the right thing. Or don't! But don't be surprised when you're called a cunt for not doing the right thing. Explain it to your fucking god.

good time to get off substack

Let's look at gender segregated sports. The Dem position in 1990 was ... nonexistent. The conversation was being had about how to handle trans inclusion/exclusion, but not in the political arena.

You could not pay me any amount of money to get into a "driverless" car, this shit is so bleak

Platner is a product of white people who are desperate for addressing classism but refuse to acknowledge that misogyny, transphobia, homophobia and racism are components of classism that need to be exorcised for the socialism they want. They want reprieve with no deconstruction of their bigotry.

the thing about platner that a lot of men were conveniently ignoring is the fact that some actions aren’t redeemable. rape isn’t redeemable. domestic violence isn’t redeemable. there is no redemption arc there. and a lot of men can’t accept that because of what it means for them.

when you set your starting point at antifascism, a lot of issues made complex by those who benefit from your misunderstanding are instead incredibly clear. that doesn’t mean you just claim antifascism and magically all your opinions are correct. it is a theory you apply to find answers and clarity.

Not to pry on the recent (very sad) news, but as a reminder:

Since apparently this isn't making it beyond UK news yet, Rockstar petitioned a British court to section an 18 year old autistic kid under the mental health act for hacking their server and leaking a short GTA 6 clip a couple of years ago. No trial, no term of sentence, just locked up in hospital.

Me, dressing for the heat: wow this outfit is so cute I look great My brain, immediately upon leaving the house: put some fucking clothes on you slut

RTX, which you might know as Raytheon, is the US military contractor which supplies the Iron Dome and Israeli air defense systems. This is what its stock price looks like over the past thousand days. The arrow points to October 7, 2023. Lloyd Austin was a former board member of RTX.

Lots of folks replying to this here (and elsewhere) objecting to "undesirable output" as a replacement for "hallucination". Most of the alternative sugestions miss a really key point:

Rome has a circus shortage and it's important we talk about it

Against all odds, I had the most lovely conversation with a customer service rep for a utility company this morning. Kindness and genuine human connection is so important, especially right now when everything feels so apocalyptically bad

Another reason to stay away from Elon’s evil platform. Malware found spreading through sponsored ad on X Twitter 9to5mac.com/2026/07/02/m...

I looked up the full text of 4834 and Illinois is straight up refusing to acknowledge testosterone as a controlled substance or track prescriptions of it and will destroy any such existing records. This is really great!

[REPOSTS APPRECIATED] Hi, I'm Khayle, a plugin developer for FFXIV (XIVCombo (Expanded), soon Chat Bubbles 2, & more!) I am again facing the risk of getting expelled from my appartment I need to gather a total of 3000€ by 31/07. I am still waiting for the approval of my disability social income.

I love this thread so much

23/x Because while we cannot choose to be attracted to someone when we are not, we can choose to avoid those who do attract us. I can rave about the scent of my dearest love or I can stick my nose into the garden, distract myself with shovels and dirt and quiet acts of burying living things.

that cis look when the stakes register

Ever start writing a thread and realize it probably should have been an essay? Some thoughts about trust and information literacy on the social internet: 🧵

this is actually a good reminder that you should delete the tracking nonsense off of any url that you share online. just delete everything after the ? (including the question mark) and share like you usually would

heartwarming: this cis man is making nice with a notorious misogynistic transphobe

The Onion Guy is getting dragged for trying to be friends with Stancil, with the most common comment being Scorpion and Frog references.

Jonathan Ross killed Renee Good. The ICE coward who shot Renee Good was named Jonathan Ross. Jonathan Ross is a murderer. Jonathan Ross killed an innocent civilian in order to punish Americans for being in the country and not being near his skin tone. Jonathan Ross is a racist fascist murderer.

“So, should I have done nothing? Should I have looked the other way? Should I have just allowed yet another innocent person to be slaughtered. “Heaven forbid. Every life is worth as much as every other. Whatever is stolen from you is stolen from me.”

Oh to be surrounded by trans girls

I think it is time we started very seriously asking what precisely Esther Ghey knew, and when.

You don't have to answer the door for the Feds. Do not voluntarily talk to the Feds. If they have a warrant signed by an actual judge, then they can do precisely what the warrant says. But DO NOT TALK TO THE FEDS. Do not answer the door. If you're arrested, your only words are "I want a lawyer."

Children can’t even play fucking Pokémon in this society without having their labor exploited to murder Brown people in the Middle East All those cute little pocket monsters did was make murder cute and cuddly I don’t think I’m ever playing a Pokemon game again

Get a fucking password manager, use different passwords for every important account that you have, turn on two-factor authentication, keep a backup of your most important and irreplaceable files, and don't save all of your shit to your C drive.

OCEANIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY CLOSE TO A DEAL WITH EURASIA

Witnessing the last remaining shreds of the social contact evaporate in real time as people habitually do more and more insane shit on the road every day is very anxiety-inducing living in a place where driving is the only viable mode of transportation

these people truly hate us

Religion has zero place in healthcare. Religious organisations should not be able to object to abortion, transition, vaccination, or any other form of medicine they may choose to have an issue with tomorrow. Enough of this nonsense.

Links here where you can donate to support a trans woman who is facing felony charges for defending herself against fascists.

Hegemonic masculinity is usually defined as autonomy, independence, leadership---that which women are not supposed to possess nor aspire to. Gender is in and of itself an act of excluding women from humanity and agency, drawing a boundary between those who possess and those who are possessed.

I think people don't realize that the 'give a trans person 50$' meme isn't a joke. You can save a trans persons life by giving them 50$.

incidentally like 80% of smug online anti-anarchist dunks are basically variations on sneeringly asserting that children are the archetypal object of legitimate violence & therefore anyone who can be legitimately compared to a child is an acceptable target of abuse, but people aren't ready for that
