Hey look! A reminder that Discord still plans on doing this! Raise the alarm bells again!

Happy Juneteenth! It costs 0$ to repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. I sell pins, compression gloves, artist gloves, back braces, knee braces, wrist braces, compression socks, cute bags & more! Store: Bibipins.com

love how every app has to periodically inform me that push notifications are disabled. damn bro who do you think did that!!! history's mysteries

An update on the 30 active Pokémon fansites & communities in our Starter Pack. Here's how they rank this month! Given the recent changes in Google search, its even more important to get the word out there, so please consider giving each of them a follow from our Starter Pack: go.bsky.app/9ZYmKgz

We've made a list of games that use Gen AI and updated the Carrd! This will eventually be expanded to cover more things, but we're still figuring out the layout It contains both games that we've posted and ones that we haven't yet so you may see some new titles docs.google.com/spreadsheets... -E

Talarico saying he's against "gender reassignment surgery for minors" to lots of nodding and impressed gestures from the Barro/Yglesias crowd and a lot of the politics press is, I think, a great example of how much the well has been poisoned on trans healthcare

🚨 BOOST 🚨 Please help her out. One of the people who assaulted her was a Patriot Front Nazi. Of course the cops didn't arrest him, and now she's facing charges and will need legal funding.

i also have very little to add to this other than if you fell for this extremely artificial panic, fucking shame on you, and it got you absolutely nothing and nowhere and now your life is worse too.

Finally locked in and got the Natu. It was supposed to be #20 on the chain but I got a lil silly recharging the radar. A little annoyed that the chain continued because I just needed the one and Pokopia is calling, but it feels wasteful to just give it up...

BDSP Pokeradar is special to me because it so closely mirrors real life in that you can do everything right and still be continuously ground into dust by systems that were designed to show their hatred for you. No, I haven't been hunting Natu off-and-on since Feb, why do you ask?

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

What's happening with Platner is why you hop off the bus at "he has a nazi tattoo"

The arc of the moral universe only bends towards justice if we bend it. There's no karmic comeuppance for fascists. There's just us. Community and hard work and a willingness to to take risks and fail.

glad to see everyone calling this out, very unexcited to see everyone play it when it comes out and any mention of this is met with a tepid non-response or "it's pretty good though =/"

This is great advice. I'm not gonna take it, but somebody should.

So after openly deadnaming all our trans folks last week, leadership apologized, but then did not update employee's names for the vote today. This means our trans employees are being forced to openly deadname themselves in order to vote in today's union election. This is deeply fucked.

A powerful Pride month to you all. Stay strong and hilarious 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🤎🖤

anyways fuck cops and corps trying to control pride fuck terfs for trying to exclude trans ppl from pride and fuck puritans trying to erase kink from pride see yall at the marches 😊✨️🏳️‍🌈

It’s the first of June, the beginning of Pride month. Stonewall was a riot. Trans rights are human rights. No one gets to erase us from history. Fight back against book bans. Fuck anybody who thinks we don’t deserve love or bodily autonomy. They don’t get to steal our joy.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

JUST NOW from @statuscoupnews.bsky.social livestream — ICE agents outside Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ pushed a protester into an 18-wheeler causing the truck to run over his leg. They then pinned him on the ground and carried him away.

It’s almost like all surveillance, no matter the purported use, eventually becomes an extension of the carceral state.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

My fellow cis folks, The FCC is asking Americans to submit comments about whether the TV Oversight Management Board (TVOMB) should create new TV ratings to alert viewers to trans/gender content. Time to be an ally and tell the FCC absolutely the fuck not. It takes five minutes to do.

We all literally, LITERALLY just watched NASA fly four absolute all-stars the farthest any human has ever been from Earth and back flawlessly, and yet we're still continuously forced to pretend Musk's bullshit catastrophe factory is the future of human space exploration

just want to emphasize that there are confirmed photos of this, including one of israeli soldiers stripping a woman in front of all the other aid flotilla activists.

Vaccines save lives. That’s it. That’s the post.

Cis women who don't want to use the same bathrooms as trans women are free to simply not use public bathrooms. They're the ones with the issue, they're the ones who should have to find workarounds. Their creepy obsession with other people's genitals shouldn't become anyone else's problem.

‼️ Queer & Allied Shiny Hunters & Pokémon Streamers ‼️ Let's see what we can do this year for Lambert House LGBTQ+ Youth Center in Seattle while shiny hunting & playing Pokémon during Pride Month this June! 💜 🔗 to Discord in reply! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨

This mentally does genuinely run rampant in Pokemon spaces and it makes zero sense. The only people playing older gems are shiny hunters who hate themselves. Have you seen those catch animations? Ffs. "But it's dramatic!" Bitch, I have responsibilities, I don't need drama catching Blipbug #60.

I still think these two paragraphs from Ganz are the most important contemporary political writing

My address has been leaked. Im getting death threats & racist messages saying Im being watched and tracked at my home, even while Im out with my dog. Kids arent safe. We’re trying to relocate urgently, breaking our lease & covering moving costs to leave. Please donate or share: gofund.me/cb095f773

Hi Shunters !! Many of you may not know, but today is Blue Sunday - a tea party inspired yearly event with the goal of bringing awareness and fundraise for various associations related to M.E., a genetic neuroimmune disorder. 🧵

We keep hearing folks rejecting the warning bells about the trans genocide, saying “it’s not like there’s gas chambers & ovens”. Aside from the reality that the Holocaust didn’t start w/ gas chambers & ovens, this comes from an ignorant understanding of what a genocide is. Let’s talk about it. 1/15

Remember all of them.

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.

New — I spoke to parents whose kids are former patients of NYU Langone's trans youth health care program about the Texas criminal subpoena for their private health records. "I was furious. I was in disbelief. I was scared for my child's well-being." Read my full report:

Thank fuck, the return of Smartypants. Possibly equally as important, Zach is back. What will we say "No Thank You" to next?

For my newsletter, I wrote about the killing of Juniper Blessing and ruminated on who the media thinks deserves attention in death. Friday newsletters are usually paywalled, but I have made the mini-essay portion of this post free to all: www.burnsnotice.com/her-name-was...

Thinking about this again suddenly and giggling to myself

The face that launched a thousand posts? Genuinely though, recoiling so hard at beauty is some mythical demon shit. Nearly a trillion dollars and that man still can't even pretend to be normal.

Wow: Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, one of the biggest children's hospitals in the nation, will be forced to create the nation's first ever "detransition clinic" as part of a $10 million settlement with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

When a trans person so much as jaywalks there's a month of calls for all of us to die screaming and I need people to bring that energy to holding every transphobic monster that helped make this murder happen accountable for it. Juniper's death is the intended outcome of transphobic propaganda.

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

“Use AI or get left behind!” Please, leave me behind. Drop me off on the side of the road somewhere. Sentence me to a remote cabin with a typewriter and some wildflowers that don’t know how to use the internet

Framing in the opening sentence is nonsense. It also reads bad faith. Elon is why this happened, not Bluesky. Like many people, I was leaving X whether or not Bluesky was there to catch me. The fact that so many from the left had a place to go instead of leaving social entirely is a good thing.
