The next X years are going to be so tedious and dumb and painful.

sponsored the state's youth gender affirming care ban

this is basically what it's like to be in any group that society isn't built for. with bikes it's just laid out more plainly and built into physical infrastructure

Because I keep forgetting, this article is also a helpful reminder Tara Strong is still a shithead

Lord Glasman "sought out, and was sought after, by some of the most important Trumpworld movers and shakers" JD Vance, Steve Bannon... Curtis Yarvin and "as @bylinetimes.bsky.social can reveal – the tech baron and Palantir data firm founder, Peter Thiel" bylinetimes.com/2025/09/25/b...

The Ellison family is cornering the market on attention and data the same way the Vanderbilts did railroads and the Rockefellers did oil. Larry and David Ellison did not return requests for comment. Read @jakelahut.writes.news's latest #InnerLoop newsletter here: www.wired.com/story/larry-...

The journey as a reader for me from 'Man, Pratchett really touched on a lot of things, exaggerating to comic effect' -> 'Man, pratchett really touched on a lot of things, understating things to make them easier to digest' has been an interesting one.

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay “They were men who felt that The Time Had Come. Regimes can survive barbarian hordes, crazed terrorists and hooded secret societies, but they're in real trouble when prosperous and anonymous men sit around a big table and think thoughts like that.”

I've been trying to do this more lately - read and watch more weird shit. If you've got any suggestions for books or indie movies - especially scifi or horror by LGBTQ folks or BIPOC - that are off the beaten path, I'd love to hear them!

God forbid we make Telenovelas for the gays

Whewwww

BREAKING: Starbucks just announced a $1 billion restructuring and will close 59 unionized stores — nearly 10% of union locations. It includes the Roastery in Seattle, one of its busiest shops. CEO Brian Niccol made $100 million in four months last year.

I rarely defend Americans, but we shouldn't forget that American GenZ started the student protests in 2023, were beaten to a pulp by police, got thrown out of school, lost scholarships, had their degrees revoked, etc. An Egyptian friend of mine joked "those kids were Arab Springed" Funny but true.

All my best to this FEMA employee, and may they succeed in their mission:

hi, cis folks! do you trust the senate to decide whether you can have healthcare or if you legally exist under the law or where you can legally wash your hands or pee? neither do we! please tap into the thread & tell senators our civil rights & lives matter—even more than the jimmy kimmel show!

1. A new The 19th/SurveyMonkey Poll finds that a majority of Americans are against trans youth care bans. This includes a majority of Independent voters, casting doubt on the narrative that Democrats need to pull back on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

every guy from The League is either a normal sweetheart in real life or pretended to be in one of the towers on 9/11

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

i maintain that heretics & apostates are much more useful terms than "not real christians"

Absolutely spot on - and also completely in line with their essential purity/taboo ideas of sex. Tale as old as time: this kind of sex is dirty, but I want it, therefore the dirt 'belongs' to the object of desire, who can be sectioned off and disposed of as contaminated, while I remain clean.

Friendly reminder the term "transgender" was first used as a diagnostic umbrella for those most often seen dying of AIDS: the conglomerate group of "cross dressers, transvestites, transsexuals, working girls, and openly effeminate gays"

We decided to bring back one of Tess's first mini memoir books, Pow Wow Kid. We only did a small run back a few years ago. Tess and I thought it was a great little book and needed a second breath of air. tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com/product/digi...

Living, being in the world, was a much greater and stranger thing than she had ever dreamed.

walters has terrorized LGBTQ+ students during his tenure. wherever he ends up, i hope it’s far away from children.

Look at Toad. His edible is just starting to take hold and he needs to tell Frog that instead they should watch Big Trouble in Little China

Research conducted by @transjournalists.org “identified 43 outlets including the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic and The Daily Beast running with the disproven stories of a ‘trans shooter’ and ‘trans bullets.’”

Saw someone post about how it's really fucked up that we all have to speculate about whether or not the FBI manufactured evidence to back their version of events. The thing is, you should always suspect that about law enforcement—these guys are just more clown-ish and obvious about it.

Ok, we “saved” Jimmy Kimmel. Now can we bring that same energy to migrants, trans people, BIPOC and women? Or are we just reserving that for rich white guys?

"An escalator cannot break; it can only become a fatal funnel."

this is the ideal website. this is peak performance.

Took my cat to the vet today and asked the people at the front desk what the weirdest pet name they’d ever encountered was One of them said, immediately, “Well, nothing’s going to beat ‘Cocaine’”

Kash Patel is the head of the FBI because he wrote pro-Trump fanfic for children. Keep this in mind when he is giving out briefings.

They’re destroying our history!

"He does a brilliant job of being, let’s call it the anti-Elon. He’s not kind of feared directly, but people in the know in Washington know he has some tremendous pull.” - a Trumpworld source in the AI industry www.wired.com/story/larry-...

This is indicative of the view taken by pretty much everyone in power when it comes to pressure cases. I'm in a case rn where the DOJ's literal argument is that the action it took couldn't have been 1A retaliation because to be retaliation it has to chill you into silence and my client refused to...

Fuck this is so upsetting. I wrote about Bluestocking Books in my newsletter last year, bc it's an indispensable community resource and one of the last feminist bookstores standing. I hate that it ended this way. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Izolde is an awesome part of our local trans community here in SF, and she regularly comes to Trans Nerd Meet Up. If you can spare any $$ to help her stay housed, please help! <3

New Banshee's Last Cry collaboration with Street Fighter 6 to celebrate the visual novel's 30th anniversary, featuring a new World Tour scenario on October 15 (same as C. Viper's release).

Streeting would be on the far right of the US Republican party on this issue.

If I've got any actual pull, I hope you'll back out extremely cool and fun comic book on Kickstarter.

ooookay this is a nightmare???

Making this more absurd, Trump himself has *said in his own words* that he wants Brendan Carr to use state power to censor criticism of him. Yet the @nytimes.com headline makes this sound like some kind of righteous crusade on Carr's part.
