If you want to support me, for now please follow @beyondxandy.bsky.social here and on Instagram, and to tell your networks about it More instructions for how to help will come in the near future, after I've had some time to work Thank you in advance for cheering me on through this year 💖🏳️‍⚧️🧬

Hearing rumors that John Fetterman, Lindsay Graham, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and Jim Jordan have written a bipartisan bill changing the name of the arepas served in the Capitol cafeteria to “freedom corn cakes.”

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Since it's not illegal, please cut off your partnership with all "A.i." companies. As it is, you're helping mainline their dangerous products directly into schools. For your consideration, a list of questions about your support of "A.i." in schools: bsky.app/profile/greg...

No they don’t. They have more than enough money to lose. They could buy and destroy literally every media source and it wouldn’t change their lives at all.

Ebooks are reading. Audiobooks are reading. Graphic novels are reading. Pulp reading is reading. Adults reading YA is reading. It's all good, my friends. Don't let anyone tell you different.

2025 sucked. In 2026, we are taking back our science! We are excited to launch our Substack: The Science Fight Club. Read our first post, written by @cdelawalla.bsky.social, a review of 2025, a preview of 2026, and a big call to action. open.substack.com/pub/sciencef...

THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS

Gym regulars. Be kind and welcoming to the people showing up this week. Remember how difficult it was for you to start and how many times you failed. Kindly correct the other regulars that complain.

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

We don't have a government. We have a bunch of guys who heard things on social media. We don't have due process. We have entire groups being punished for the alleged actions of a few.

No my man, the answer absolutely involves taxing those gains.

People lining up to celebrate MTG or other GOP castoffs despite the damage they’ve done to vulnerable groups and democracy just shows how much they desperately only want their lives to remain the same and are more than fine sacrificing anyone and everything to get there.

And this is just less than a year. Each day RFK Jr. stays in office as the head of our science and health system, the more his negligence compounds. Congress made a mistake confirming him, but they still have a chance to fix it. It's time they #ImpeachRFKJr www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Great thread. I also love that the CEO threatened to kill his staff if they raised the price on their food court hotdog.

This Nazi passed a bill to imprison trans kids' parents two weeks ago.

Realizing this also really bothers me because of the lack of solidarity. Weingarten leads a union. A UNION. And she seems incapable of wrapping her head around the way billionaires are doing their best to destroy the jobs, livelihoods, and dignity of millions of workers through "A.i."

I’ll save you a lot of money. Reduce class sizes, pay teachers more, provide more community supports and more mental health supports.

What works is adequately funding schls, paying Teachers a liveable wage so they don't need extra jobs, and healthier working/learning conditions.

That’s actually not a bad idea, instead of voting for candidates, you vote for the candidate’s ideas with no name attached

Someone remake “It’s a Wonderful Life” but Mr. Potter believes that hoarding is morally required so he can devote resources to delivering a far future with trillions of humans while George Bailey is like, “Gosh Darnit! What if taking care of people today is what takes care of people in the future?!”

Mom: "You should teach high school." AFT: "Welcome to our AI academy, in partnership with Microsoft."

Respectfully, the courses in your AI Academy seem designed to push "A.i." use on teachers. I see phrases like "You will leave with AI resources you can use tomorrow." I see no focus on handling cheating and no mention of the cognitive or suicides associated with LLMs. aiinstruction.org

I think we do ourselves a disservice by even calling them tools. Tool implies usefulness. There is zero proven usefulness and significant proven harm. I don’t need to learn how to use something that is hurting all of us, I need support and help stopping it from fully infiltrating our schools.

No. Data centers cause harm, but you aren't the recipient so you overlook it.

How do you maximize safety and privacy for a tool that is unethical and based on theft????????

Subbing and a meeting after school on the last day of the year. Deep breaths and positive thoughts. This too shall pass.

We were listening to Hamilton today in class and I was singing all the songs. A kid comes up to me and calls me an undercover theatre kid. I think it was a compliment.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

When Trump dies-- could be at any point, who knows -- we get Vance. They'll blame a lot of stuff on Trump AND try to fast-track an even uglier Christofascism. We must be preparing for this now & organizing accordingly. Grassroots activism, coalitions. Dissent. Sand in gears. GOTV. Every angle.

Buckle up Dem establishment, because me and my maximum wage tied to the minimum wage proposal are coming for your asses

If you’ve never thought about whether you’d use your body in an attempt to protect children who aren’t yours, now’s a good time to stop talking and listen.

I teach Sociology of Childhood, and when we talk about school shootings, my students tell me about how they also do these checks in their classes--noting locks on doors, thinking about how to escape and where to hide. I hate that they have to mind those risks while trying to learn.

Yeah it is cool when billionaires fund struggling public health outposts but you know what’s cooler? Them not existing and us funding them on the regular without them having to go begging constantly.

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

the 6-7 phenomenon is in no way different from any other catchphrase that kids have yelled out at any point in the last hundred years, there's no daylight between that and when i was in high school, the year straight where every guy kept yelling "i'm rick james bitch"

Please consider gifting this book to a friend or family member for the holiday! A great way to use the holiday to expand the public’s understanding and care for trans kids. ☺️ a.co/d/cdko8U5

Let the revolution against billionaires and AI begin. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/11/t...

The people who support $12B in corporate welfare to farms and forgave $80B in auto bailouts and forgave $700B in bank bailouts and forgave $755B in PPP loans want you to know that forgiving medical debt and student debt is socialism😐

Four minutes of reading up on this would give Cuban all the answers he seeks. Yes, I would gladly be taxed 8–12% more to spend 30–40% less of my income on medical expenses.

Jimmy Fallon would host the Hunger Games.

Want to know what it’s like being a middle school teacher. Today a kid suggested I watch a YouTube video called Nut shot compilation. Just guys being hit in the junk for an hour.

Elon Musk is furious that people who were not born in America are able to cast a vote in American elections. I wonder what his attitude is about people who were not born in America but spend billions of dollars influencing American elections.

Immigrants make America great again. Billionaires are the parasites drinking all of our milkshakes.

hey @jaketapper.bsky.social put me on tv so I can tell this eugenicist piece of shit that i don't care for the way he wishes my formula-drinking kids had died

Let me just say: I have run more than a dozen marathons and an ultramarathon and I have worked 13-hour days in a cornfield in the scorching-ass sun, and none of those things broke me like breastfeeding. It’s not a question of will. I am a determined person. Sometimes your body just WONT DO IT.

As with everything he says, this is wildly uninformed. Formula keeps getting better and saves lives. And modern research indicates that outcomes are roughly the same. There are reasons to breastfeed but your child isn’t suffering if you don’t

One of the hardest days as a teacher are the quiet ones where students are working. It is unnerving.

Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government. Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.
