More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

dumb wheel keeps on turning...

the fact that both Disney and Microsoft are both on the @bdsmovement.bsky.social boycott list and also keep hiking thier prices makes it so much easier for people to not give them your money

...and if you don't want to read the study itself, here is a good overview of it from @evln7.bsky.social: queersciencelab.beehiiv.com/p/new-study-...

They did. I wrote a whole zine about this. queer.archive.work/library/down... - this is why I ignore a lot of people who talk about the Black freedom movement of the 50s and 60s. They don't know anything.

I really would love more people to check out this comic I made! I am really happy with it!!! ☺️☺️☺️

It's Rapture Day besties

We often say 'Racism is expensive' but it is the most accurate diagnosis of USA's troubled history IDK if we comprehend how expensive, so here is a 20yr sample. At the time US GDP was 16 trillion But it's never been more costly per day than now OP is right that there seems to be no cost too high

"one day, everyone will have always been against this"

...in a separate essay, I discuss the endless litany of supposed "causes" of transness, and how they lack evidence & are often incompatible with one another. they *only* make sense if you recognize that they are all enabled by negativity bias! juliaserano.medium.com/anti-trans-g...

so Tylenol supposedly causes autism, but so does MMR, despite autism predating either of them – how could this be? negativity bias! this is why when ppl consider something to be "bad" they can invent hundreds of causes w/little evidence & ppl will believe it... juliaserano.medium.com/what-covid-l...

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.

"In the name of 'fighting antisemitism', the Trump administration is publicly making an example out of arguably the most famous Jewish public intellectual in the country today."

In the aftermath of the murder of Heather Heyer, tens of thousands flooded the streets of Portland, Boston, the bay area + beyond against the Alt-Right. If you took part in these demonstrations or supported them, when Trump calls to attack anti-fascists as "terrorists," he's talking about you.

“I see protest as a genuine means of encouraging someone to feel the inconsistencies, the horror, of the lives we are living. Social protest is to say that we do not have to live this way." — Audre Lorde

What a great fucking metaphor they didn't mean to employ

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

if you're concerned about the pervasive sexualization of women, & also the various ways in which other marginalized groups (POC, PWD, LGBTQ+) are sexualized (often overlooked in feminism), & dislike "sex-negative" framings of this issue, Sexed Up is for you! juliaserano.medium.com/sexed-up-a-c...

Three slots still available!!! I wanna give some people some REALLY sick pieces of art!!! 😎😎😎

Don’t support big company. Big company don’t like you. Support small artist. Or just save your money.

You cannot understand US politics without understanding racism. It's impossible.

Let’s help them eat

we have to abolish ICE

Alright Hollywood, it's time for a t4t romance millennial nostalgia cash grab

Please enjoy one (1) cute selfie in between all my manic posting

"Neither Trump nor the MAGA right wants to discuss or deliberate; it wants to dominate. American politics is no longer a fight over policy; it is a fight... [to defend] a more democratic and egalitarian American republic — not hope that one can avoid the fight by having the right conversation."

I think fundamentally, the ability to care about the rights of a small and vulnerable minority (of whom you might know no members) is an important sign of whether you are committed to human rights out of principle, or out of mere convenience.

Pebis butter and jelly

We need to get them out of the streets

🏳️‍⚧️ For the eggs on here: I realized I was trans by reading, writing, making art, and talking to people. I read the gender dysphoria Bible, gender queer, and more. I wrote a lot of personal essays, journals, etc. 1/4

Healing is so nonlinear. Physical and emotional healing both happen when the body is ready. This heart surgery has taught me that. We really can't rush any of this work. It happens in its own time.

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

"did your wife's boyfriend buy you that switch? 🫵😂" ??? no. he bought my wife the switch and she lets me use it sometimes

the sheer fucking gall of Dem politicians who now – in September 2025, as the Trump admin is taking away trans ppl's healthcare & passports & baselessly labeling us as "terrorists" – express their "concerns" about trans ppl & sports. they are trying to eradicate us! maybe be "concerned" about that!

. @xplainthexmen.bsky.social has lasted more than twice as long as the Confederacy and is based on much better ideas

i promise to do some good ol fashioned shitposts later (maybe i dunno), but i just want to say to the people in Palestine, I haven't forgotten you ❤️

Kind of embarrassing that so many people are cancelling Disney+ just now because of Jimmy Kimmel, of all things, and not months ago when the BDS movement asked us to, but a win is a win.

FOR THE FOLKS WONDERING WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: There is a direct ideological throughline between the "anti-CRT" movement/attacks on Black studies and the firing of Stephen Colbert and suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. Not posting this to say "I told you so" but bc you must understand the storyline.

Idk what failed Democrats are useful for. If Harris runs again, we're going to get another 4 years of Trump

Doctors say that HRT prevents hot flashes But the more HRT trans girls take, the hotter they are when they flash me
