Host: Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, 19 states have banned or severely restricted abortion access. Mothers living in states with abortion bans are nearly twice as likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth, or shortly after

Forgive me, Chicago, I was not aware of your game

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

the Nintendo Switch 2 price sucks

Wikipedia is worth $10/month because if it dies so does reliable knowledge. Cough up if you can -- it's cheaper, more interesting and morally superior to Netflix.

And now the power company wants to destroy without mitigation then somehow reestablish another acre of protected wetlands because there's just no other possible way to get Google the power lines they need to operate cuz Google lied in its initially approved permit applications that it didn't need em

Re: every headline involving education

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills. Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Eight thousand iterations of this discourse later, there is no political utility in calling fascists fat. All you're doing is propping up the brutal hierarchy which lets people like them work up from deniable social torture to state violence.

Thinking about the early closeted days as a teenager and a memory I hadn't thought about for ages popped in my head. As a teen I was DEEP in the Experimentation->Shame->Repression->Repeat cycle that lasted until I came out at 28 and one way I experimented was sneaking make up from my stepmother

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

Realizing I haven't been bothering people with my taste in music too much over here. Yet. A Thread:

“I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story,” Thunberg said during a press conference following her release. Read more:

i like bluesky cuz I know it isn't filled to the brim with bots but the mods and the way this site is for artists and trans folks is somewhat unreliable and makes us feel unsafe.

god, I'm running low on money after helping my family so fucking much and I hate asking for help like this, but if you wanna help keep me afloat, my Kofi is here: ko-fi.com/salembunner445

...TIL kids don't really trick or treat anymore. Wow. Huh. Well, that. Kinda sucks.

We are now in the domain of not just illegal impoundments, but targeted illegal impoundments to punish liberal spaces. Not different from what Trump is doing to to universities.

Val and I checked repeatedly because we simply couldn't believe no national or local news organizations covered this letter from 18 AGs in support of trans youth care and against FTC overreach. If you find any stories, let us know, but it seems to be our exclusive.

This year, we observe the High Holy Days in grief and outrage. Our movements have grown more powerful than ever before, yet we remain unable to halt the relentless US-Israeli war machine that continues to ravage Gaza—inflicting death, destruction, and famine onto the Palestinian people.

We need a bigger tent, that’s why we must betray and expel the following types of people:

If you actually look at how Cuba elects people and the amount of participation people have in those elections it’s a lot more than people in the US have

This? It's genocide. The quiet, insiduous kind.

In case AI art didn't made you mad already.

The question is NEVER what in the name of God is WRONG with white people and particularly white men that they embrace authoritarianism and fascism so readily.

Trigger warning for something being eaten, but this is something that makes science me hoot and holler

Bsky's new TOS cracks down on adult content and goes into effect on Oct 15 🚫 We want better content labels, NOT censorship. Use the feedback form to demand change They've forgotten the only reason bsky exists is because nsfw artists, sex workers, & the trans community left twitter #bskycensorship

All of these are the most moderate positions btw.

We need to fight for people like Guevara just as hard as we fought for Jimmy Kimmel.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

'A NSFW ban won't negatively affect me, I don't draw or post porn!' You sure? Here's how it went down when tumblr did it:

putting this on your timeline again

Be gay, do crimes isn’t just a funny saying. People want to incriminate your existence. If you existing is a crime, then be gay and do crimes.

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Urgent: Please share and give if you can. Nema has to move south due to the evacuation order but now she is unable to take her son to the hospital regularly to help him with his breathing, which means that she'll have to buy a Nebulizer for Mohammed.

If you boycott Disney, which has been on the BDS list forever, it will cover your Kimmel and your HBO Max boycott...and I say this as someone who loses money when Disney gets boycotted

My girlfriend hasn't eaten in over a week and she desperately needs 510 for food and meds. If anyone can help, she'll be forever grateful. bsky.app/profile/artb...

Excellent article by @eurogamer.bsky.social. Fantastic work & a model for how other games outlets & games journalists should be covering this issue. Please read it and share widely. It's giving a voice to many developers often left unheard on paypro censorship www.eurogamer.net/queer-develo...

I can't repost it from the original so I'll put my thoughts here A lot of what we enjoy is so new, there's no precedent. How can you say you're too old to twitch stream or make YouTube videos? If hasn't been around long enough for people to age out of it? I dunno, I wrestle with this sometimes
