Listen. If you didn't want to be seen as the Twitter escape pod, you shouldn't have deliberately fostered a community of people so united by their contempt for arbitrary authority and love of absolute free speech that they were willing to abandon a platform they'd been using for 15 years

For the next six months, while the piercings heal, my tits are the sole property of my Daddy 😁🥰

Evolutionary psychology!!! “Neanderthals, whose lives we know literally nothing about except that they were wildly different from ours, had a sexed division of labor in my evidence-free fantasy about them, which is why you shouldn’t get subsidized childcare.”

BlueSky staff really hate it when you use their decentralized moderation tools to hold them accountable Be it following a transphobe or looking at porn on your company account, they'll ban you if you notice it using the tools they created for surveilling other people!

Suspending Link after he pointed out the how following Jonathan Chait after being accused of transphobia does not allow you to beat the transphobia allegations. In fact, it does the opposite. To be clear: suspending Link was certainly a choice. And we know what KIND of choice it is.

This is still true and the mods would do well to remember it

Wanting to scritch and pet a very good girl right now

If we're going to be real, white people have been crying about every single thing that has happened to decenter them since the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They just keep finding new targets for their white whining.

The after-sting of getting my nipples pierced is fucking amazing

Not me learning you need these appointments just to get on HRT, I thought they were for like, SRS or something. Which would still be bad for that wait list.

OTC HRT now, everywhere, and affordably.

Nipples and septum pierced

Your state troopers participated in Friday's fascist photo op attack at Broadview. Get the false charges against protesters dropped immediately!

literally dont mind at all if the only thing Im ever remembered for even briefly it's the reminder that you. Yes YOU. Should send a Trans person money right now while it's still legal.

a cool thing about trans people is that just existing in normal every day life on social media we will cause people who would otherwise pass as just a normal liberal reveal that they were actually just insane reactionary conservatives the entire time and also total fucking cowards about it

this is a genuine question that i hope is taken as such, when someone on social media starts a culture of harassing a minority population who the government is now citing as to why the government needs to target us, is there any responsibility on those running social media to keep us safe?

just framing this as “asking us to ban a guy” is burying the lead a bit when it’s actually “this guy could be directly responsible for the government in their efforts to eradicate an entire population of americans”

funny thing about this is that i was fully on board with paying monthly for bluesky *until* jesse singal joined and it became clear that i wouldn’t be protected from nazi bigots. currently this place is fine. certainly better than x. but im not under any allusions about the way it’s going.

Trans friends in Europe, file a complaint against Bluesky in the EU. Social media sites are required by the Digital Services Act to ensure user safety.

Someone actively working to dismantle my civil rights is very unsafe. You wouldn’t know what that’s like, though, white boy

Literally works all the time We’re not looking to change Jesse Singal’s mind (or any other bigot’s, for that matter). We’re looking to limit their ability to spew their hateful bile to people who don’t already know what they are so they can’t convince new people to be hateful bigots.

Huh. I’m pretty sure the negative consequences for civil discourse and society come not from those seeking to deplatform bigots, but the bigots being allowed to have a platform. Maybe you’re just not that smart, Jay.

Why have a terms of service if your goal is self moderation, and if your goal is self moderation, doesn’t it contradict that to be banning starving Palestinians, people who say mean things about Neo-nazis like Charlie Kirk, and trans people who get too uppity? “Healthy discourse” - okay, fem!spez

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

I mean she has a name … but we ain’t gonna say it but hey . Props to Eamon for marrying and being willing to stay with a woman who dares do things .

We will need to purge every single person who at any level supported this. Every Trump voter. Every Republican politician. Every Democrat who voted for the patriot act and homeland security act. Everyone who supported this shit at any level, ever. Nuremberg the lot of them.

Counter offering the friend who wants me to cut him even deeper next time I see him with the option of me doing a glowing scarification on him instead

A pro tip to any aspiring social media ceos out there. If you’re gonna be shitty about the safety of your users, the least you can do is make sure that you’re not doing it where we can all see you and we know who you are. This shit? This is embarrassing. I’m embarrassed on your behalf. Fuckin’ A.

So yesterday was my dad‘s birthday. I did not call or text because doing so would only invite contact from my mother. So I just got a call from my dad‘s phone and I answer with a quizzical hello and all of a sudden I get my mom‘s voice.

Bluesky team is doing a great job of demonstrating what happens to your company when you don't value soft skills. Too many modern tech companies see things like PR as optional and not as necessary as engineers etc. This is a mistake historically rooted in sexism that has terrible consequences.

My greatest desire is to say “No more men” and detonate an estrogen bomb to trigger global feminization.

My greatest desire is to say “No more men” and detonate an estrogen bomb to trigger global feminization.

And this is the crux of it because not wanting to read about men is framed as "man-hating" and exclusionary and it's endless frustrating, I have more patience for cishet men that most straight ppl do but gtfo of my romance fiction they just cant understand it cause to them it's nbd

trans ppl, trans women in particular, have a higher incidence rate of kidney problems precisely bcos we avoid using public restrooms so we hold it in. @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social is now inflicting that on children for no reason other than to keep jk rowling happy. there's zero legit reason.

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social is a child abuser.

This one thing that galls me about Western queer discourses the most. Y'all don't understand and I don't understand WHY y'all don't understand. Lesbians are so fucking oppressed. We face so much violence. So much coercion into heterosexual institutions, brutalization for trying to escape them.

Caught myself in the mirror and couldn’t help but thinking my tits were made for tank tops

I'm fed up of people who act like lesbians aren't a marginalized demographic. Our art isn't systemically excluded from most publishing avenues. If even the indie space tries to exploit this by throwing M/F romance into 'omg so sapphic' bundles, they don't get to hide behind 'queer'. Fuck off.

Had an idea for a poem, think it’s pretty good, but it’s gonna be pretty involved in terms of composing it. Def gonna be one to work slowly

i am still mad at my sister for the "oh i just won't say it around you then" like no SAY TRANS HEALTHCARE. it's healthcare for trans people. do not give me this cutesy twee gender bread ass "gender affirming" bullshit. it's life saving medicine. i transed my god damn sex with hormones like an adult.

i DEEPLY hate the term. it's patronizing, it's a stupid euphemism, it plays into the transphobic notion that cis people are humoring us, it's epistemological oppression to avoid saying the word trans, 90% of the shit cis people do isn't called "gender affirming", etc it's fucking trans healthcare.

Morning for y’all and it’s bedtime for me. Peace 😘

Mr. Beast is apodeictic and perhaps a priori proof of the incompatibility of the wealthy and healthy society

i think the most interesting difference in how the koreans and the americans monetized and capitalized on what was originally a fairly anti-capitalist drama is that koreans sold a bunch of snacks from squid game and set up film/scene tours americans just made it a reality

Klein kept asking "what do you do when 30% of the country believes things that are beyond the pale?" and the answer is that you hold the line even more firmly! He seems to think that we should should compromise with them but that's a doomed project electorally and indefensible morally.

Abolish ICE, yes, absolutely; but also police and prisons, which run on the same set of values.
