Just finished this and here's my thoughts (which I previously had but still have):

It Only Tuesday https://theonion.com/it-only-tuesday-1819569397/

Genuinely a really informative and important piece. Anyone who follows me has probably seen this making the rounds, but I'll throw my two cents in to say you INDEED should watch it if you haven't, even if you're not in the UK On Nebula if you can!

Top Democratic officials who worked on the party's still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration's approach to the war in Gaza, Axios has learned.

And they'd still scold us for "telling them wrong" or some shit where they still try to convince us we have in fact been wrong the whole time They'd say the thing we said would happen is entirely unrelated to the things we said would happen currently happening, so erm actually we're still wrong 🙃

My 40 whole dollars: Cis journalists who don't should be treated as active supporters of what's being done to trans people. We're past the point of innocuous inaction, not giving us a voice is just as much of a choice as silencing us at this point

Am I the only one who's youtube app completely shits itself every 15-30 minutes? It's been getting progressively worse for months, up to now where it periodically disappears the navigation bar or search feature ENTIRELY with no way to get it back without restarting That on top of fatal crashes

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context

We must [REDACTED] Sam Altman

There needs to be legit studies about what transphobia does to the brain, because the same obsessive (hell, lowkey stalker) shit happens to Alejandra and Erin where these dudes won't shut the fuck up about y'all already.

Endless horrors. Even dead Palestinians are not free from Israeli torture and abuse. thebaffler.com/latest/im-no...

i mustached them a question, but i sat my white ass down and shaved it for later

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

This makes it even worse that he’s had the audacity to be publicly mourning his marriage and at first pretending that it was about differences instead of his Epstein connection and participation.

Since fucking when is this guy "renowned"? I swear years ago when I was looking around for a surgeon, the consensus on this guy was a resounding "stay away" because of his high rate of complications and wretched bedside manner. Am I misremembering or is this some bullshit?

Ice out

Literally every bad thing in modern times is because of a roaving band of pedophiles Literally every bad thing in modern times is because of a roaving band of pedophiles Literally every bad thing in modern times is because of a roaving band of pedophiles I'm gonna Mc fucking loose it

Aside from sustainability, which yeah they just *economically couldn't* keep it up, I'm not confident they actually would stop it properly. Considering the number of times they voted in favor or against something only for the optics, knowing they would fail anyway... I'm just not confident in them

Manslaughter Honked At

His role is to undercut any movement and crush the energy. Did it in 2020, did it for the Gaza protests, and he’s going to do it again.

People still seem to be reacting to Esther's actions with confusion, and assuming it's grief driven madness or something, but the realistic assessment is: She thinks social media made her daughter trans Trannys get killed Therefore: The internet killed her child by making her trans

Y'all see what time it is?

this show is relentlessly gay and at the same time is only maybe 30% as gay as Interview with a Vampire

Love how it's very deliberately not anything that would actually change what's happening. They're intentionally just throwing money at ICE with the oily PR sheen glazed on top so people think they're doing anything but appeasement.

Old cogs are creaking.

*Trans woman sneezes in an empty room* The entire queer community: Well how can I *not* blow her up with pipe bombs and a fireworks??

i keep saying to go organize locally, because its the only way out of this. you want a long-term solution? stop waiting to be saved and start building that solution. there are people around you doing this work. you have to make the effort to work with them. and no, the answer isn't elections

Don't talk to journalists about DIY HRT.

Many clinics that look independent are legally part of a hospital system for billing purposes (to capture facility fees), which would drag them under this ban. But yes, finding truly independent, non-hospital-affiliated private practitioners is now the primary survival strategy for care in the US.

I remember a FurAffinity group years ago implemented a "Trusted Artist" badge. Relying on a few rules... Maybe it's a good idea to implement some lable like this on Bluesky?

Countless parent teacher conferences. Useless counselors. Punishments for failing grades. Everything but addressing my real issue. Help was never presented. I didn’t get to be a kid. I didn’t get to be anyone. I was a young trans girl who needed help. I was a trans kid who deserved a childhood.

Every time I see some shitbag say “Let kids be kids” to denounce gender affirming care for minors, I think about my torturous days in school. Too crippled with self-hatred at the way my body was betraying me to pay attention in class or make friends. Hiding my dysphoria in an oversized ski jacket.

great point

So you say you're glad that he's frozen in there and we're out here. And that he's the sheriff. And that you're frozen out here. And you're in there. But oh, you just remembered - you're out here. But what I really wanna know is... where's the caveman?

A world without transgender people has never existed and never will. To all transgender people out there: You are not alone.

Dick is gone, Bush remains.

The phrase "Dwemerpunk" has reached into my soul and opened a door I never thought had closed

Yes, and I'm getting it removed in January
