There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

i keep thinking about this remarkable poem by Kabir.

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

The idea that pro-trans movements led to anti-trans sentiment is egregiously out of touch with reality. Increased LGBTQ representation led to historic shifts in public opinion toward the community. The aggressively bigoted and violent campaigns that lied about trans people are clearly responsible

AI is part of the fascist project to make us all stupider and more impoverished and dependent on the tech overlords, pass it on

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

New essay: "Atmospheres of Conversion" - We argue that trans films (The People's Joker & I Saw the TV Glow) frame anti-trans conversion as central to cis society and that creating trans art spaces is one way to fight back!

It's still June and these books are real gay 📚

Transgender kids are under attack; don't let digital security and privacy woes make things worse.

If you are a trans kid today, I am so so sorry, but know that you are strong and can survive. Plenty of us got to adulthood to transition in the past and present. It may not be easy, but you can make it work as your elders and ancestors have before you. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

the code you write in the last few weeks of a game's development is just horrendous. truly nightmare programming. absolute duct tape over a crack in a million gallon aquarium.

This sweet, sad marshmallow really needs a foster! Thumper is having a hard time at the shelter, often squishing himself into corners or under blankets to feel safer. He lost his home for the 2nd time in 2 years after his adopter became too ill to care for him & is so stressed he's barely eating 🧵

I wish people would stop thinking being a game designer is some sort of binary where you are or aren't a game designer based on arbitrary facts and instead understood that game designer is a spectrum that start at making homebrew for your gaming group and ends with getting fired from a AAA studio

I love how as a society we just decided to collectively hate this one flower in particular. it’s a lovely flower, it feeds bees, its leaves are nourishing, and yet, we decided it needs to be eradicated because it’s too promiscuous. we’re a weird, weird species.

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

Saying something among friends is different than tweeting it. In the same way, I think taking shots on innocuous groups and hobbies among friends can be a joke; but it seems mean spirited online. I want to beat this into people.

She is not “likely dead in the eyes of the law.” She is dead both legally & in the sense her body cannot even perform basic functions like breathing or sustaining a heartbeat without invasive intervention. They are animating a corpse to let cells multiply in it. It is horror worse than Frankenstein.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Now that's an orange king I would support! #orangecat #cat #gingercat #nokings

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.
