"b-b-but she broke tos a year ago" okay then why won't bsky ban other people for similar reasons when they're harassing trans people?

"majority culture" is an obvious tell as to what they mean (non-marginalized) but also famously untrue? he was not roman, the jews were a marginalized culture

BANNED FROM SUBSCRIBESTAR

It’s true my GP has, after 44 years taking estrogens and been prescribed them from this surgery for the last 4 years, has referred me back to the gender clinic ‘because they have no expertise in prescribing these hormones’ I was signed off from the gender clinic in 1990.

It's cool how as soon as you leave Twitter you don't really hear about Elon Musk very much. Like here on Bluesky you still have to hear about a lot of bad people and bad things don't get me wrong but it's cool to not hear that one awful man's every single moist thought

this website is a fucking joke btw

Look, again, as I've said over and over and over, it would be one thing if the people obsessing over trans people in sports were interested in some sort of compromise. But they're just... not. www.readtpa.com/p/fine-lets-...

The guy who probably had a dinner party after tearing down a homeless encampment makes a good point.

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful. Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)

these 'reviews' are being conducted by transphobes with pre-determined outcomes. labour are murdering these children by denying them life-saving care. @lucympowell.bsky.social and belong in prison. this stuff is an actual scandal that will eventual break in like 10 years time.

To free-associate a bit: someone skote the other day that suburbs exist entirely because of the cities they malign... and commute to. I think Conan-esque dark fantasy appeals because it depicts belligerently rugged self-reliance: suburbs offer on a similar fantasy, just to a lesser degree.

“They committed suicide because they were depressed. It’s a shame they didn’t call our mental health line.” They were depressed because they were about to be evicted. A toll free number wasn’t going to fix that. But resources would.

This is timely. I want to relay a story about some egregious behavior I have witnessed regarding the prosecution of @anniejump.bsky.social. She asked me to make this a post telling the story. tl;dr A lawyer lied about her behavior to a federal prosecutor, potentially prejudicing the judge.

losing an hour on International Women’s Day feels right

one of the character designs of all time

international women’s day

Does it utterly piss me off that I (and many people like me) left my specific “how can we know how brains very unlike ours perceive the world?” field because no one wanted to pay us to investigate that? Yep. Am I even angrier about it watching people debate whether LLMs are sentient? OH FUCK YES.

I realise this is like focusing on kitchen hygiene in the Titanic at this point, but: the LLM the NEH asked "Does the following relate at all to DEI?" (!) usually - though inconsistently - cited language documentation and preservation as grounds for grant termination. ("Yes" => "Defund")

Reminder that Joe Rogan fuckin sucks.

DON’T FUCKING WARN THEM JUST DO IT

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

It's very funny (derogatory) that Big Brain Centrists will constantly post "errm trans should stop talking about Newsom if they/them don't want him in the news ☝️🤓" but literally every single day trans people have to block a landslide of Newsomites telling us to shut up and die already.

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers. This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight. (🎥 Vahid Online)

modern war depends on a hierarchy of grief, on training people to treat foreign children as an abstraction… the only fact that matters: Children were killed in their classroom, and they were killed with violence made possible, materially and politically, by American power.”

Everyone should not have to have a direct line to elected officials in order to ensure that we are not kidnapped by the government.

Mamdani literally put out a 2 min ad when trying to get elected about the history of trans activists in NYC and promising to protect trans people. Taking away trans rights cannot keep being seen as an "acceptable capitulation" for Dems, especially not one who ran on protecting those rights!

Iranian hackers threatening to hack into the top 3 credit bureaus and wiping Americans debt… and I just wanna know who I gotta speak to in order to expedite this.

23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? “I’m sorry sir”. ICE shot him 3 times and killed him. Renee Good’s last words? “It’s ok I’m not mad”. Alex Pretti’s last words? “Are you ok?” These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors. Abolish ICE

“Martinez was not protesting - he was driving by the scene of a road accident where ICE officers were helping to direct traffic…That he was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." paywall free: archive.ph/2026.03.07-0...

Retired bat baby ❤️

Because the Inevitable And Continuous March Of Progress order of history needs to set present day comforts against a past of horrors, the oppressed of the past have no luck stealing joy from their oppressors in however fleeting of a moment.

Most stereotypically capitalistic headline of all time award

SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.

weird how it’d have been 216-215 yea and passed if Dems voted as a caucus. crazy how this keeps happening!!!

Interesting interview in Playboy with transgender adult content creators. People often point to Pornhub stats showing trans content is more popular than ever as a contradiction, as if political and sexual objectification were ever mutually exclusive

bless his heart, he really said "let's just do matzah gras"

One of the best Wilbur Whatelys ever to do it.

I really hope someone’s reading this thread to the new CEO.

“If [wealthy, powerful people] can get us to accept that the future’s already settled, AI is already here, the end is already here, then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.” — @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

if you expect a quick end to the iranian regime just because its leadership was decapitated you may be disappointed. like imagine if the situation were reversed and america's supreme leader and defense secretary had been killed. that's right, go ahead, imagine it. think about it all day if you like.

The regime won’t let you have clean hands if you work for them, even if they’re punishing you. This was leaked on purpose, is uncomfortably close to confessing to a war crime, and highlights once again how tech’s unthinking growth directly leads to dead kids.

A lot of these people aren’t smart, they just are rewarded for silencing actual smart people

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.
