all this endless evil bullshit spewed about "men pretending to be trans to get into "women's spaces" and no real cases of this happening ever but suddenly as soon as there's a space for vulnerable trans women....

Montana Supreme Court Effectively Strikes Down All of Montana’s Anti-Trans Laws in Unprecedented Ruling transitics.substack.... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

A family of doctors in Idaho with a teenage trans daughter describes their decision to close their practice and leave the state after the governor signed a law last month threatening her with a felony charge and five years in prison if she uses any women's restroom

I fled Utah after living there for 15 years due to the constant attacks on trans people, even the University of Utah hospital capitulating in advance of expected bans. Moving took every cent I had and I worry it still won't be enough, not when hospitals keep treating us as expendable.

oh look, it's the completely obvious intent that transphobic fascists have been telegraphing the entire time, once again quite openly being admitted. shoutout to the friendships i've ended over people telling me that it was just about kids and that i was hysterical for thinking otherwise, tho.

99.999 percent of US citizens are one pink slip, one medical emergency, one failed investment away from homelessness. A gay teenager ousted by religious parents, a disabled/elderly person unable to work or an addict struggling without a support network. They will all be enslaved. This is slavery.

Considering there's strong evidence to suggest Facebook is the one pushing so hard for these age verification policies, and given Facebook's history with political unrest in the global south, my opinion leans towards feature, not bug.

Kinda tired of this now 🫩

Thanks @tom.risky.biz @lawfaremedia.org for highlighting the @citizenlab.ca's latest report on Webloc's mass data surveillance system used by 🇺🇸 US agencies and what to do about it "It Is Time to Ban the Sale of Precise Geolocation" www.lawfaremedia.org/article/it-i...

"why are they doing this?" To kill open source ventures like Linux distros because the cost of adhering to this law is too much to expect these projects to pay and maintain, forcing everyone to use windows and train their AI/farm metadata They'll say it's for protecting kids or something tho

Mmn. Shame. 🍹

Thinking about validation, self-image, and motivation tonight I wanna talk about it Its easy to blame social media for a widespread obsession with 'line go up' as a validation of your worth, but the need for external gratification is nothing new 1/

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

But what if hetero monogamous procreative sex in a stable relationship IS the thing that bad abnormal unnatural to me BECAUSE those are the kind of people who are easily offended by everyone else's kinks and point fingers and we KNOW by now they are nothing but TROUBLE???

@tomgauld.bsky.social 's "Blessed Homelands/Barbarous Wastes" is kind of a good non-sex framing of the concept, if you like your information memeable.

need to see actual mtg matches animated at two wizards fighting, fully showing some of the nonsense logic

real life could stand to be a little more like porn i think. we could have that under socialism

roll for gender

I *think* the site is a bit more stable now 😭 I've restocked both the human experience and rainbow raven stickers!!! I know both the trans and rainbow stickers have been out of stock for a bit, in case anyone's been hoping for either of those! ko-fi.com/telekitnetic...

New US Congress bill proposal requires all operating system providers to verify ages #Gaming #USA #PCGaming #US #AgeVerification

The intent us to let you assume what they the government and tech corporations mean by "age verification" is you just tell them your age and provide the proof, and discuss WHY and if it's a good idea and not know HOW they're going to do it, until this passes and it's too late.

I know it sounds like a conspiracy theory but I wish I was just making this shit up. It's what Discord is going to roll out in a couple months, that's how I found out. bsky.app/profile/thev... bsky.app/profile/dies... bsky.app/profile/wolv...

Reminder that "age verification" = Persona = Palantir + Peter Thiel = that thing that makes you take a mug shot from all angles and open your mouth and then creates a profile of all personal information (fingerprints political views sexual orientation friends and family) and forwards that to ICE.

Discord was going to use age verification that literally pipes your information straight to the fascist US government, until hackers exposed it. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.” www.therage.co/persona-age-...

This doesn't seem worth having a Discord account

This is it! They're coming for your computer. Y'know how at end of your shitty day working your job that doesn't pay enough at least you can play a game? WELL NOT ANYMORE #gaming #usa #pc #us #ageverification #pcgaming #computers #politics

I'm really not interested in a world where every second of my life is surveilled.

The Tennessee legislature has now passed the trans registry bill requiring all medical information about trans people, including therapy notes, diagnoses, and prescriptions be reported to the state so it can be published to the public. apnews.com/article/tenn...

ChatGPT is a website. Claude is a website. I will never respect a website. You cannot convince me to treat LLMs as anything different to any other technology. If a website only gets things right sometimes, it's a bad website. I will not be told otherwise. www.wheresyoured.at/i-will-never...

great popular science fiction is always weirdly horny. there are no exceptions to this rule.

I'm still on my 'drawing based on vibes' stint Dunno if I like this direction much but I do like me some texture

Hey! What's up? We have been very busy these past couple of months, typing, reading lots of documents and generally getting up to whatever the opposite of shenanigans is. Which is why more Shenanigans are in order! April 26th, Sunday, we'll be holding a roundtable with these lovely folks!

I figured living next to an ai data center would be harmful, but I didn’t expect it to be a literal Analog Horror Noise Generator

Louder! Us queers are allowed to make things that relate to abuse we suffered or intrusive thoughts we fight with, it can be filthy or it can be rainbows, but it must be allowed to BE.

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

"But don't rules like this further endanger SWers by pushing them further underground?" Yes. That's by design. As far as the powers that be are concerned, "If you feel you're being unfairly punished, you can always try not being a whore", etc.

Looking at the exoplanets that have been discovered I get the impression there's only one type of object in the universe - it starts out as a small asteroid but if there's enough material to be pulled in by gravity it can grow into a dwarf planet, a planet, a superearth, a gas giant, a star.

They found that 29 Cygni b likely formed from the bottom up rather than the top down. In other words, it formed like a planet, not a star. (4/4) 🔭 🧪

To answer these questions, astronomers used #NASAWebb to study 29 Cygni b, an object weighing about 15 times as much as Jupiter, which puts it right on the dividing line between the two processes. (3/4)

Was it from a bottom-up approach, gradually growing larger over time, or a top-down approach in which a large collection of gas and dust fragments into smaller, planet-sized bits? (2/4)

Where is the dividing line between stars and the most massive planets? Scientists think it may depend on how they formed. (1/4) 🧵 🔭
