[Trans bullshit musing] Watching an anime, a few years old at this point, but one of the plot points is that a vaccine is made to make a minority group part of the majority. And that kind of thing always brings up complicated feelings for me about if there was a "be cis" "vaccine". Certainly […]

History of trans musician Wendy Carlos (2/3) I learned about this incredible woman after coming across an old video with her on YouTube the other week (see part 3 of the thread for link). And I thought it’s important to share given that trans history is being actively erased from public […]

I never knew it was called the “Moylan arrow.” But now that I know, I will call it that. It’s such a super simple, yet super valuable innovation. https://www.jalopnik.com/2061179/inventor-little-arrow-what-side-fuel-filler-is-on-dies/

“They’re deporting the wrong people!” No, fuck you. Stop ALL deportation. We make the goddamn laws, we get to decide who’s here legally, and we can say everyone and anyone here is here legally. The law isn’t a moral excuse, it’s a violent authoritarian dodge of moral responsibility.

This was my children's breakfast today — and they were so happy! It’s been a long time since we had eggs, and they’re still very expensive. But thanks to your kindness, I was able to buy some — and to my kids, it felt like a celebrationw *Please keep […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Move to legalize pantsing ICE agents in public

HISTORY REPEATS…👇 “It was not Hitler or Himmler who abducted me, beat me and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, the neighbor, who received a uniform and then believed they were the master race." ~ Karl Stojka, Auschwitz survivor

I’ve been researching #italian #immigration to the #us for my #novel and every other primary source I open from 1890-1915 gives me major Déjà vu to how the #republicans talk about immigration today. “They aren’t white enough”, “they are a drain on our resources”, “deported because they would be […]

On 23 Dec 2025, the #UKgovt lost a huge #Judo contest. #GretaThunberg used the #UKgovt's own power against it. In July, the UK banned #PalestineAction as "#terrorist". Arrests for supporting PA total ~2,500, mostly older people. #Greta is the latest. UK public […] [Original post on mastodon.ie]

Some people see me and say “ oh he’s fine he’s got that weird autism and seems normal. 🤔👀👀🫣” Mmmm… yeah I’m like a jet that can go 2-20 miles an hour variably then fall from the sky then have to use a parachute to stop. People are like “well at least you got a jet. You got a bunch going for […]

With the zoom lens of hindsight that #histodons give us, we can no longer be surprised that #legacymedia turned out to be collaborators with #fascism *at heart* (i.e. in the Boardroom). Here’s what film critics at had to say when Frank Capra released “It’s A Wonderful Life”: The #newyorktimes […]

RE: https://federate.social/@jik/115300077222722755 In October I posted that the U.S. Digital Service employees illegally fired by DOGE had reached a settlement with the government and committed to donate 10% of the net proceeds of my share of the settlement to organizations fighting fascism […]

Since I shared my plea, I’ve been waiting in silence but nothing has come yet. I only received 50 euros out of 300 dollars The need is still great, My husband still needs surgery, please help me as much as you can. 🙏🙏

Scientists and public health advocates predict the decision will allow many children to suffer and die needlessly from a vaccine-preventable illness.

How would you make the case for not calling an LLM "he" or "him" like it is a particular person without sounding like the Bene Gesserit? For some reason it really bothers me on a deep level. What the heck is that about? Oddly? I do not feel upset about the robotics team doing this for the […]

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other medical groups, for example, filed a lawsuit against Kennedy in July claiming that he violated the APA when he issued a directive removing the COVID-19 vaccine from the CDC immunization schedule for children and pregnant women.

Bari Weiss, who now has the power of an entire legacy TV network behind her, has been done in by a bunch of pissed off people on a social media app famously hated by right wingers and I am so here for all of it.

Kash lied to congress.

I'm not normally much of a holiday person, but this year seems even less holiday-like than usual. 🤔 (I blame the people who have hijacked religion to hack the population into supporting whatever Fascist state the US is turning into...)

Also! It should be noted that the paper she was supposed to be responding to was NOT about trans people. She just went off on that tangent because she thought the paper was about that.

From @TNEdReport: “Across the state, people are calling on @GovBillLee to do the right thing - to feed hungry kids in all 95 counties in 2026.” Wild that Bill needs to be begged by clergy and county mayors to feed kids. open.substack.com/pub/theeduca...

“Republicans in Congress had an agreement to vote for a bipartisan immigration bill— then Trump stepped in and said he’d primary anyone who voted for it.”

A) that’s not what this means what an absolute clown 🤡 B) the bulk of this “growth” was health insurance spending 😕

As Trump touts higher than expected GDP growth, seems worth pointing out spending on health care is the bulk of it. Is that really something to celebrate? “this was a stronger than expected print however for all the wrong reasons.” www.beckershospitalreview.com/financial/ho...

“I was just trying to go to work.” NYT shows videos from Trump’s ICE goons causing an accident— then DETAINING the guy who stopped to get their insurance. Lawless. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

The AI controversy is the loneliness crisis, the inequality crisis, and the education crisis stacked on each other, wearing a trenchcoat and a fedora.
