I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

We need our brave CEOs to stand up to the communist menace which is Donald Trump.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

i'm jesse singal and i'm writing a book about TRANS people if you're a TRANS person or know any TRANS people email me. email me right now at [email protected] . email [email protected] with info about TRANS people in my area. i want to know all the details. email me right now. EMAIL ME

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

I'm thinking about distro hopping again.

shit ain’t over til it’s over

When I was a kid, I was raised to believe I wouldn't reach adulthood because I'd be raptured before then. I'm 41 now, and by my count, I've lived through at least 7 raptures. Still, somewhere in my exvangelical lizard brain, there's a part of me that's still a little panicked.

The "terrorist reclassification" was an extreme over interpretation by Ken Klippenstein that circulated purely as a headline and is active disinfo, there are a whole gaggle of left/lib journalists right now who have found their niche getting massive engagement by scaring the shit out of trans people

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

many ppl highlighting flaws in this article. but having fought in the "80% desistance" wars of the mid-2010s, I remember asking anti-trans activists if they'd be ok if 80% of youth were helped by gender-affirming care (flipping their argument). & they *never* answered. b/c they want *zero* trans ppl

Charlie Kirk's grieving widow had just left the stage moments before the fireworks for Trump kicked off. Just so wildly and blatantly inappropriate for a memorial service for someone else. Fucking nuts.

I'm happy to announce that I'm running for Indiana state representative in district 61 (Bloomington) I'm aggressively progressive, I want higher wages and public housing, an accountable state government and accessible healthcare. And I'm not another Sarah McBride. youngfor61.com

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Trump criticizes Pam Bondi for not charging his adversaries quickly enough, in a Truth Social post that looks a lot like a DM. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

I give this post 5 bags of popcorn and a vial of estradiol valerate.

Earlier this week, Sinclair said it would replace "Jimmy Kimmel Live" with a documentary about Charlie Kirk during the Friday time slot that Kimmel occupies on its ABC affiliates. Friday evening, Sinclair pulled the documentary and aired "Celebrity Family Feud" instead.

realistic people: period products should be free for students men in their 50s: if girls get free tampons, my 21 year old son Brandon shouldn't have to pay for nunchuck lessons

I'm but a simple writer of sad gay folk songs with no real grasp of the complex calculus that goes into wielding real political power, and as such, I'm deeply disgusted by a trans woman honoring a trans exterminationist, regardless of whether or not it was the "right" move politically.

"She was detained without formal charges or conviction, following a nuisance violation related to a mental health crisis." bad world

No she didn't. She's complicit in sanitizing the legacy of a hate monger, while this administration is moving to strip trans people of everything in his name. She's cosigned the threats against the trans community. This is an act absolutely shameful cowardice, which will be her legacy.

Writing "Charli xcx" on the cup and pretending I just thought that's how it was spelled.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

He merely said the only way you can truly love a gay person is to tell them that, in a perfect world, they would be put to death.

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.

folks, more than ever we must stand with trans people against this assault on their liberty. we must not give an inch to these ghouls, these are evil people!

Charlie Kirk was a generational piece of shit. He made his fortune producing MAGA slop for the hogs to slurp. Now that he's dead, the ghouls wringing the last bit of use from his corpse can't even quote his life's work, because they know most people would recoil in disgust when faced with it.

i really hope it sticks now for any lost young buckaroos who find something interesting about a libertarian trot or similar way: these people have been fakin it the whole time. none of them actually care about free speech. they are either: 1 embarrassed conservatives or 2 dummies

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

Republican when a late night host is fired for not toeing the party line: Haha fuck yes! Republican after being booted out of the Gawker comment section: this is literally like 1984

Here's my take on the Jimmy Kimmel stuff (complete with videos and transcripts of what he actually said): www.readtpa.com/p/read-the-j...

Huh wow turns out the people who wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs never cared about free speech, they just wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs

Jarvis: I hate to say this to my friends here at CNN, mass media is dying, so they're taking the last of these vestiges of institutions that matter and they're trying to turn them into propaganda organs under threat from the head of the FCC

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

liberals don't want to hear it but this, too, is genocide

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

Hey all! I'd like to thank the world's media institutions, and of course the Bluesky mods, for being totally normal and proportional about a barely famous trans woman cracking wise about a Nazi's death.

a *lot* of anti trans shit coming from the house toward the FY26 bill & i can’t tell you how much it matters for a lot of people to tell dem senators—amidst the week’s jenga tower of moral panics—not to compromise & that trans people are worth fighting for. info & script in the QT ⬇️⬇️ please call!

If the transgender girlfriend does exist, then she's a gotdang hero, I tell you hwhat.

Have you *ever*, in all the thousands of shootings in America, heard a word about a friend, roommate or partner of a shooter?

It seems that the only trans person known to be in the orbit of this horrific Kirk assassination saga expressed shock and horror, and immediately cooperated fully with law enforcement.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
