I’ve been reading about how testosterone increases when you do strength training and how trans men sometimes experience a lessening of symptoms of autoimmune disorders, and all of a sudden it makes sense why whenever I get back in the gym I suddenly feel amazing and can keep up with my life lol 😂

another morning, another group of people doing anything but using the barbell at the smith machine 🫩

Join our free, fun, awesome day this Sunday at Echo Park Lake! Enjoy some bomb ass vendor food, live music, Zumba, get your tarot read, get terrorized by a clown…there’s something for everyone!

the best chance the Prairieland anti-ICE protesters have is that we keep their names and their case on our lips as we eventually move to a post-Trump era, that we fight for their pardon as an essential part of departing from fascism.

biking to work in a half face VOC respirator feels low key performative when you have a car but at least I admit it

This part... "a juvenile child fleeing..." He was 1.

Between this and the stellar WSJ story about Polymarket's fake bettors, it really feels like we have completely given up on requiring influencers to disclose paid partnerships. It only hurts consumers.

Generic “medications” are one of the biggest scam we let the pharmaceutical industry get away with. If it’s not the OG recipe it’s not the drug

no one likes when you say “you can’t celebrate pride from the closet” but idk why because by definition you have to be out for pride to be for you. It’s not called shame!!!

We visited the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum FIFA Fan Fest tonight.

Watching some folks in my industry trip over themselves to dogpile this lady to essentially say "shut up & dribble" has been so disappointing & it's the exact reason why so many below-the-line folks fear publicly talking about exploitive work conditions.

when you say reactionary shit about unhoused people, you are fueling the environment in which this is possible. every time you say "how do i explain drug use to my child" or other absurd nonsense, you are pulling the trigger. next time, shut your mouth or turn the barrel around

will never forgive la metro for opening the d line right before the World Cup. get these tourists away from my office. some of us are trying to work!!!

you want to learn why? there's an obscure law in the US legal code that spells everything out. google trump inflation rule 34. yeah i know it's hack. idk. my heart isn't in it anymore. we're cooked

okay now that the primaries are over, im going to say it: if the LA left actually wants to pursue an electoral strategy you GOT to get better candidates because WTF was that 😂🥴 this is why I’ve given up on electoral politics and use all of my political energy doing literally anything else

one day in 2015, my roommate say on our couch with his kindle, vape, cellphone, and a bunch of charging cables. he said "man, i have to charge my book, i have to charge my cigarettes, and I have to charge my phone. the future sucks". I think about that moment almost every day

the fact that so many leaders in so many cities were dumber than RAHM EMANUEL should lead most of US establishment to commit political seppuku

someone a lot smarter than me should write a book on how this recent push for "parental control" and "age verification" features in our technology is codifying a very specific kind of legal doctrine of parental ownership into our everyday lives

I think a lot of people have the impression that I hate fun because I call literally everything anyone has ever liked a part of some horrible system. but what I would rather people realize is that you’re just going to have to deal with the fact that everything is low key evil until we change things

corsets were oppressive and I’m tired of weird “fashion” people trying to tell people otherwise. All women’s fashion that exists under patriarchy is oppressive. You cannot separate fashion from its political context. All fashion created under patriarchy oppresses

Breonna Taylor would have been 33 years old today..... If she hadn't been murdered by Louisville police officers.

It’s one thing to rest between reps at the rack. It’s another thing all together to do EXERCISES WITH DUMBBELLS that don’t use the barbell AT ALL during a busy morning when people are waiting to use it. IT’S NOT CALLED THE SQUAT RACK BECAUSE YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO HANG OUT THERE!!

god just saw people on Instagram defending Amish abuse of children “because they make good furniture”. I cannot believe how far we have slid back towards Christian supremacy in the last few years. going to become 700% more of a militant atheist and you guys better join me because wtf

"The frenzy over this film shows that we have learned nothing from the hundreds of thousands of lives destroyed by an overzealous punishment system egged on by pop culture."

like and repost if you agree,,

Growing up means realizing that the United States was built on genocide and that everyone and everything good in it exists despite of that, not because of it. Death to America today and everyday

“The Left needs to rediscover its patriotism” is corporate centrist speak for abandon any critique of white supremacist, patriarchal, colonist capitalism and embrace liberal mythologies that run cover for authoritarian exploitation here and around the world. In other words, stop being leftists.

hey bsky team: pointing out the official church position on trans rights is one of intolerance, bigotry, & cruelty is not, in fact, an intolerant statement.

If bluesky mods want to censor this post they can censor me too, the pope is actively committing genocide against queer people, fuck the pope, fuck you if you stan the pope, and I hope this pope and all future ones die of a particularly painful bout of colorectal cancer

Notice how the papacy's good acts are all statements and the horrific ones are actual actions and policies with serious resources behind them? The Catholic Church has a massive healthcare network and inflicted a total trans care ban there last year. They're an enthusiastic part of trans genocide:

Even in Seattle, where trans healthcare is mandatory at the state level, they still refuse to do it. And their footprint in the state is growing, about half of all beds in Seattle are in a hospital they control.

But, seriously, I will never forgive them or ever think they're anything but a force of oppression in the world. They're trying to kill me many times over, and I've heard of other trans people needing to use their ERs only to be refused actual medical care the second their transness is discovered.

The mods slapped an "Intolerance" label on this post? Are they crazy? It's s a simple fact that the Catholic Church is one of the major perpetrators of trans genocide. It looks like it's the mods who are intolerant-- of trans people standing up for ourselves.

I don’t care if pattie gonia took a shit in the CEO’s desk chair, you will NEVER catch me defending a big corporation in an IP dispute. i don’t even like her, i think she’s a fake af activist, but i hate IP law and the corporations it serves more than i could ever hate an annoying drag queen!!!

look. is everything more expensive now? yes. but you have to look on the bright side too. now every time you open a computer, it doesn't work

well i'm certainly not calling it that

this is a masterpiece

Framing of this story is very strange. I have also dealt with a psychotic roommate over basically the same period of time as the person in this story, and my progressive/socialist ideals have never been stronger. I came to the belief that an adversarial system hurt all of us

"No war between peoples, no peace between classes" Seen in Granada, Spain

Not nearly enough reporting about what's happening in Cuba, which the administration is attempting to squeeze, punish, and coerce into submission and violent self destruction. This is so much worse than the embargo. It's hideous. Haiti, Cuba, ongoing boat strike murders: anti-Black foreign policy

Last month, Aleanna Royal Bechdel, a 31 year-old Black trans woman who was a DJ, promoter, and artist, was murdered in a housing complex in New York, and a 54-year old man was arrested. There has been very little press coverage on this, including by queer outlets run by cis white people.

“what if we took the only good part of AA out of it” we are cooked and big tech is the chef

imagine thinking you’re helping some underprivileged kid go to summer camp when instead you’re just paying for some 18 year old in New Jersey to go fuck IDF soldiers 😭

Paul Krekorian says any concerns you have about the Olympics (lack of funding, thousand dollar tickets, ICE presence,etc) is just you being negative. apple.news/AhZBSKJdGQc2...

low key it annoys me when people get up homebound disabled people's asses for using convenience services a few times a month because I've seen how the corporate world uses these apps and it's CRAZY. doordashing food from the building next door. daily office supply boxes from Amazon. etc

tired of the puritan urge to cultivate children who will never see/know about any bad things happening ever bad things happen all around you, all the time. to people, to pets, to bugs. you have to be aware of that + be able to weigh it to survive as a reasonable person

when the muscle-building workout you started specifically to look more androgynous redistributes the fat on your chest as intended and now you don't have any boobs for renfaire

important thing to note here is dr oz cites a current american replacement rate of 1.5, which is not true. the american replacement level in 2025 was 1.79. interestingly, the white replacement rate is in fact at 1.5 though
