This was entirely preventable and in fact trends were starting to stabilise and minimise across different regions before these cuts were implemented. And this unnecessary and cruel decision will echo through time for many generations to come, globally.

Today is World AIDS Day we gathered a collection of books whose words say more than we ever could: libbyapp.com/library/quee...

December 1. 2025. World AIDS Day. For those gone and for those who fought so the rest of us could live. We remember you.

The House will have been in session for fewer than 30 days between July 1-December 31 and just had a 53-day recess. He makes $223K/year plus benefits including 75% of all health expenses for his entire family. Affordable Care Act subsidies expire Dec 31st for everyone else’s healthcare coverage.

Something I keep thinking about in convos about 'when to leave' is that finances really ARE an insurmountable barrier for people, as are qualifications (e.g. 'digital nomad' visas are great, but what if you're a barista, or a pipefitter?), and, of course, disability penalties.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.

My childhood waterpark and the town I grew up in!

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear "Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks! Let it Go!

Remembrance is not enough.

I will be honoring the 69 people we lost in the US this year, as well as those lost around the world. One is too many. #TransDayOfRemembrance

Its World Children’s Day and Transgender Day of Rememberance. Both of these on the same day seems especially fitting. A day to remind us to protect the kiddos we have and remember those we have lost👼🏻🏳️‍⚧️

I'm having complicated and frustrated thoughts about having to see reminders all over my feed that the president said something jaw-droppingly fatphobic in public while at the same time wondering how many of those people themselves make fat jokes and only clock this one as bad because Trump said it

I think this would be @realgdt.bsky.social’s dream come true 😂

I’m glad I’m not the only one 😭

From the fact that domestic violence was a tipping point for two of these families to the predatory systems that then trapped them, this piece is a powerful illustration of the extent to which we've built a society that accepts predation. Please watch this segment and read Brian Goldstone's book.

The last line of this segment—after Rhea describes working from 2am to 8pm—is a gut punch. Koppel: "Could you work any harder?" Rhea: "If I could, I would." If you'd like to help her family directly, Rhea shared her Chime ($Rhea-Connell) and Zelle ([email protected]) **updated with Zelle**

I'm also deeply grateful the segment spotlighted the crucial mutual aid work Sherri McCoy is doing with homeless families & individuals in Atlanta. If you'd like to support this vital work, here's how: PayPal: www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=RZUVKMAVG8JCS Zelle: [email protected]

You are not going to convince people who were never going to vote for you by abusing the people who were….

Really disappointing but not especially surprising. White gay men have a tendency to throw everyone else in the community under the bus if it means they get to be in charge.

web.archive.org/web/20241122... Alice Wong's Teen Vogue articles were archived before their removal, for anyone looking.

working with Alice, someone I admired for years before I got this job, was a privilege. here is her full contributor page to Teen Vogue, with her Disability Visibility column.

bringing this statement over from Alice’s Twitter. it appears the below was Alice’s last post before passing. I am heartbroken

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

Beyond unfair that this happened just a week before she passed. Alice’s work was invaluable and deserved better.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

Think of your favorite celebrity, whether they’re an actor, musician, athlete, whatever. They’re probably pretty well-off, financially. But they are still closer to auctioning off their possessions to cover medical bills than they are to being a billionaire.

Fatphobia goes hand in hand with transphobia and is rampant even in otherwise progressive spaces because it makes people feel a sense of control to police their own and other people's bodies. It is social poison and we will never eliminate transphobia without eliminating anti-fatness.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

My last word on the matter

Had no idea this relic from my past was still running and kicking ass! It’s an invaluable resource.

Just saw #Eternity and hoo boy, the waterworks came to play. Miles Teller hasn’t made me cry that hard in a theater since The Spectacular Now. I also laughed way more than I thought I would. It was exactly the movie I needed right now.

The government shutdown has deprived Americans of food stamps, LIHEAP and 25 Head Start programs. A lot of people rely on many of these programs at once. This is the suffering they've endured: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I have a full time job in a HCOL city - rent eats almost half my monthly income, never mind my student loans. I cannot imagine how people making less than I do manage to support a family in my city. It’s a crisis.

I want Oscar Isaac to play a different version of the Victor Frankenstein character every three years for the rest of his life

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About

This right here. This is what a lot of these asshats prefer. They don’t actually care about the suffering and dying that will take place, as long as it happens far from view.

“The Thing” (1982). Somehow is never gotten around to it and it blew me away. The score and editing were on another level.

Seeing it one last time in theaters today and thrilled for those about to discover it on Netflix.

1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad 2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

A surprise Supernatural cameo and all

YES

🔥 🔥🔥

Happy five years to the night I got about 2 hours of sleep and logged thousands of Discord messages 😂

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

This better be released in physical form somewhere so it can hang on my wall

I’ve been waiting for this moment since middle school 🙌🏻 my biromantic awakening
