Hi! We are fighting this tooth and nail and have been for years even though we lost a major foundation funder because of our vocal and effective opposition to KOSA. Anyhow here's our donate page ;-) www.fightforthefuture.org/donate/

if you’re @ dragoncon this year come find me!! (i’ve got a ton of cool @fightforthefuture.org stickers for y’all)

whoever is designing the packaging for Trader Joe’s has gotta be a nepo baby

Amazon Ring is introducing a new feature that would allow police to request live-stream access to people’s home security devices. Helllll no. If you have one of those things, get rid of it. Kill it with fire

not to wade into the discourse but [proceeds to wade into discourse] I don't think that a broad definition of trans people is why we lost Skrmetti, I think we lost because we live in a state whose main lawmaking body is a reactionary unelected council of nine people who decided that fascism is good

we talk about men doing shrooms and having revelations we had at 12 on tumblr.com. next we have lifelong blue check liberals who are "experts" in policy figuring out conservatives want us all dead actually literally in 2025. also found that out at 12 on tumblr.com.

and as i tell everyone all the time, fanfic + archive of our own would wither away without fair use

Fair use is what enables quote-dunking. It's what lets you make fun of elected officials by quoting their own words back at them. It's what allows gifs to exist in the first place. It's what makes software interoperable. It underpins literally everything online.

lots of "by any means necessary" guys amped up by the possibility that the necessary means might be "risking horrifically violent death at the hands of militias and/or the state" but strangely unwilling to consider that they might be "doing the dishes" or "making common cause with winemoms"

I hope we Americans can let go of our desire to be the individual Chosen One who leads the rebellion and punches every Nazi. Organizing is hard, it takes experience and resources and time. Stop fantasizing about being a superhero. Start joining existing groups and be part of collective action.

the days of summer are dwindling and you are still with your shit boyfriend when you should be outside. think on that

for the love of god, get rid of your surveillance doorbell. and take the battery out of your parents'. if we're scared about cops using license plate readers / FRT databases to criminalize protesters, migrants, and abortion seekers? don't give them more to work with www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

wow it's too bad no one at the ftc ever has done work around algorithmic discrimination in pricing. if only a person (or two??) there had been ready for this future

gotta start wearing a sign that says "i'm fine" when i'm not in the south and say i'm doing so and so around abortion in texas. people have started fainting. crying. handwringing. i've started comforting people about my own lot in life (living in a place i love with the people i love)

Areas with the highest rates of non-family roommates voted overwhelmingly for Mamdani. With much of the city’s communal civic life decimated, sharing a home — in many cases because one can’t afford one’s own — is one of the most potent social networks for spreading political support.

Flock being used for immigration enforcement and abortion surveillance is not an abuse of the system. Flock enabled this when they built their software. Flock knew what they were doing. The only way to prevent surveillance tech from being harmful is to never use it.

Zohran Mamdani once said "you too" when I told him to enjoy his Bloomin Onion that I served him at Outback Steakhouse

There is a massive, massive contingent of lefties on Bluesky who react with serious, deep and ferocious hostility towards the possibility that Gazans are in fact real people who can use the internet rather than abstract brown faces whose only purpose is to serve white leftist performance

the way i can chug an amount of caffeine that would put other people into shock and then immediately fall asleep should be studied (it's been studied) (there's diagnosis for such a thing)

FUCK ANDREW CUOMO AND BILL CLINTON AND ALL THEM. YOOOOOO

People wondering why a leftist may open carry at a protest seem to be ignoring the murders of Garrett Foster, Joseph Rosenbaum, and Anthony Huber. All of whom were executed by racists who are just freely walking the street today.

i don't think bluesky is an echo chamber because if it was y'all would be talking about love island way more for me

We need journalists who aren't afraid to ask tough questions of trans activism. For example: All the major trans and LGBTQ+ organizations have been led by dependable, fall-in-line Democrats. Has that tream-player, don't-rock-the-boat strategy led to gains or losses for the community recently?

me when I see yet another queer person saying "we need to be quieter and capitulate more"

as usual, NYT blaming anyone and anything but themselves for barriers facing the trans movement, as they publish a podcast building upon its years of anti-trans reporting *cited in anti-trans law and policy* in spite of industry criticism and pushback

i lost my voice so i'm trying not to talk and for a grade A yapper this is one of the hardest things i've ever done ... i keep telling myself it's like that one episode of hannah montana to cope

Troopers in Central Florida appear to have been given direction not to wear their name tags during ICE operations.

From the publication that helped launder the Iraq War comes Anyone Against Genocide is a Terrorist. Truly reprehensible institution

started thinking about how she trusts me more than anyone in the world and got emotional

Every Democrat supporting censorship bills like KOSA and the repeal of Section 230 is actively helping carry out Project 2025’s vision of erasing trans people and abortion information from the Internet. Our health care is being taken away. Our existence is criminalized. Democrats are helping do it

if we’re talking about anything just know i’m actually thinking about haymitch abernathy and cassian andor and apologies ahead of time for that

It’s worth mentioning that Bluesky isn’t actually doing algorithmically amplified nihilism, all the nihilism around these parts is real farm to table stuff.

getting back to our roots

Also not beating the “CEOs are the jobs most replaceable by AI” allegations

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

so close to gemini season i can taste it, a week in new york with my friends right around the corner, a consultation with a therapist i actually feel good about tomorrow, and a marg on a patio waiting for me at the end of today .... it's so over for y'all

RAINN, the largest organization devoted to survivors of sexual abuse, has eliminated all resources for LGBTQ, immigrants, and other marginalized groups. They're failing their core purpose. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/w...

A principled student said in a grad speech that the “only appropriate thing to say in this moment” is to acknowledge the “atrocities” currently being committed in Palestine. In response, NYU is withholding their diploma + apologizing to the community for the trauma the audience was “subjected to.”

atp the situation with nicole kidman’s wig person is a hostage situation and someone needs to intervene

the number of emails texts convos i get/have that's like "oh my god is this real" and i do have to confirm that it is in fact real. hatingggggg being the person that knows all the Bad Things

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT. KOSA is vile & every single republican openly plans to weaponize it. blackburn straight up said it exists to “protect minors from the transgender in society” & 22 GOP attorneys general openly said, “yes, i *would* use it to go after abortion info.” KOSA IS A GIFT TO FASCISTS.

KOSA has been re-introduced. If you want to know why LGBTQ+ advocates are worried, read my coverage from last year. 19thnews.org/2024/03/why-...

saying “KOSA is about holding big tech accountable!” while elon musk is standing over your shoulder is bonkers btw

it is so surreal waking up to the news that KOSA is reintro’d when i went to bed reading about librarians @ library of congress being forced out for “harmful to children” bs. i cannot stress enough that online “protect the children” rhetoric is hand in hand with book bans and attacks on libraries

Blumenthal is the perfect example of a democrat who is bending over backwards to work with republicans in this moment knowing full well what the consequences of that is. The current FTC chair lobbied for the position by saying he will use the powers of the FTC to go after the trans community.

KOSA is being reintroduced today. It's always been a dangerous censorship bill. But in this environment, with Trump weaponizing every aspect of the Federal government to suppress speech he doesn't like, KOSA is a catastrophic attack on human rights. We have to stop it. StopKOSA.com

"but it's illegal" "but it's unconstitutional" i need y'all to wake up and look around. they lit that shit on fire years ago

"woke marxist pope" bro i wish. don't threaten me with a good time
