Is there any sound more soothing than that of a purring cat?

"I didn’t have the courage to come out until I was 21, and that means 21 years of pain, 21 years of unwavering homesickness that only went away when I was able to get the care that I needed. And my biggest regret in life is that I never had a childhood without that pain.”

following may is like that video where the girl gets increasingly distraught bc the guy keeps putting every shape in the square hole

my mandelkværn is broken 😭

this is the trans battle flag btw dont get it mixed up with the peacetime flag or the naval flag

Dems are like "it's with a heavy heart that I voted to codify trans segregation, but it had to be done so Pete Hegseth can keep murdering fisherman in South America."

Nokon som veit om det er heilt normalt med 10 grader i havet i desember? Er det kaaanskje noko anna som burde vore nemnd i denne saka?

It’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.

You can’t “fix” X, The Everything App by going back and posting there because the owner has this thumb on the scale of the algorithm to promote the worst ideas and people. It’s not a viable solution, you have to let it go.

i think there should be a right to medicine that keeps you alive before theres a right to medicine that kills you

Why does she look like King Diamond?

(And also, the idea of a sanitized, aseptic "professional self" separate from the embodied realities of the rest of a person's existence is a fiction demanded by the white supremacist caste system as a tool of oppression and control, but that's a whole other talk).

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

yeah I'm involved in unethical non monogamy. no no, nobody's cheating on anyone else; me and my polycucle just operate a whaling ship.

I'm glad there's a whole subgenre of greeting cards for gamers

RIP Asad Haider. If you haven't read his book Mistaken Identity, you should.

There's only one political mass membership organization in the United States that even remotely cares about us, has had trans people in all levels of leadership for years, and is actively fighting for trans rights and bodily autonomy: the Democratic Socialists of America. Join us: dsausa.org/join

literacy problem lol (the personal anecdote cirice gives is definitionally a consequence of transmedicalism)

I will not be boosting or contributing to a private business's GoFundMe for their business expenses.

Khajiit has no time for you.

DSA's electoral program in terms of wins and losses is very remarkable in the history of American socialism. We are early days of seeing what all this will build to but it's an organization growing in terms of members and state power. Great time to join. act.dsausa.org/s/4814.C7jcoH

Om berre me hadde eit parti med regjeringsmakt som vart skipa for å redusera klasseskiljet

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

Devastated to hear about the death of Asad Haider. I was lucky enough to meet him once in 2019 and had always hoped we would cross paths again. What a profound loss for the entire left.

boymode fail! at the office holiday party

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value

"Adeste Fideles" and "Julekveldsvisa" for Christian, "Sleigh Ride" for secular

i am not going to "just try" using AI it's already been shoehorned into my life and made it worse in every case

No one wants this shit

its so cool that our two trans holidays are "please remember we exist" and "please stop killing us"

I actually think it's bad that the law thinks that calling a 17 year old a "sissy porn-watching scumbag", a "groomer" and a "disgusting incel" in public is not a crime, and indeed I do not think criticising this would constitute "[picking] sides in the debate about sex and gender identity".

DSA is officially over 90,000 members strong (and counting)! Be part of the movement. Join us. dsausa.org/join

I'm excited to announce that I have been asked to join the Mamdani Transition Team to work on community safety issues. A New Era for NYC.

please help my dear mar 🥺🥺 she needs this root canal before it becomes an even more serious problem

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

Fully convinced this is why they tried to sell us on foldable phones that inevitably break within a year or two

everyone got mad at us (Pittsburgh DSA) when we declined to endorse Fetterman for Lieutenant Governor in 2017 but we were right! there needs to be a much bigger expose on his tenure as mayor of Braddock and how he used the office to benefit one guy: failed restauranteur Kevin Sousa

my kingdom for an explanation of macroeconomic and political trends that doesn't route through personal psychology

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

puberty blockers for trans youth exist only because doctors and parents want to give conversion therapy a chance body autonomy in puberty along their peers is a right!

When Arab officials privately - and increasingly publicly - state that Israel and not Iran is the source of instability in the region, this is why: During a year-long "truce" between Israel and Lebanon, Israel violated it 10,000 times!

for days we got the "Showdown with Socialism" buildup only to get the payoff of Trump essentially saying "wow this socialist guy fuckin rules. I, on the other hand, am a fascist". what a country. what an era bsky.app/profile/self...

Screw it, I’m installing Linux

There are going to be more stories like this than we will ever hear about. Each person deserved the world, and we let them die.

trans americans are having their healthcare stripped away, their public existence penalized, their liberties restricted. this is not a response worthy of celebration. but cis people have no idea, so they clap hollow applause, satisfied with their allyship before once again forgetting all about us.
