While we were busy with the US Congress, major international news on trans healthcare. A New Zealand court announced an injunction on the far-right trans health care ban there. The court says that the biggest danger is posed by banning care. Big story for us from @transvestigations.bsky.social

I'M SO HAPPY HE WAS SO GOOD FOR YOU!!!!! He's such a handsome little guy but it's rare that he behaves for anyone but me

The purpose of blaming any and every tragedy on trans people is convincing each other "wouldn't life be so much better if we just got rid of all the trans people"

I AM GIVING AWAY AN N64! This is case and light modded. All you have to do is follow, leave a comment, and reskeet this post. You must live within the continental US. Comes with Expansion Pak, Power Cable, and A/V Cables. Quest 64 not included Winner will be randomly picked on the 22nd. #n64

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Everyone remembers "one is not born, but rather becomes a woman," but the actual opening of "The Second Sex" -- published in 1949, turned out to be the first book of feminism's second wave -- makes me laugh every time.

people, you have the chance to put my book ahead of Olivia Nuzzi’s on the bestseller list. put aside all other considerations and think how objectively funny this would be. #1, that Mountain Goats guy. #2, Antivax Man Has My Heart. funniest list of the century. We can do this if we try

i simply need to make an Ecco the Dolphin film immediately

i’m not crying you’re crying xkcd: Fifteen Years

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw. ( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

when people ask me what bluesky is like

HUGE development IN hearing for Comey selective prosecution motion, It turns out that the grand jury NEVER saw the operative indictment. Whole separate basis for dismissal. Standby for more.

Funny how trans women are always 'they' when they're saying things you don't like.

big whoop. i have lunch with 4 trans women all the time

Y’all have got to stop trying to teach people magic with edh

working at the nyt

so glad the child sexual abuse panic was squarely pointed at folks like me by the people actually doing it & the public was like “yeah, seems right—freaks did it. not the men with all the money & fighting to keep child marriage legal, the women that are legal to kill in 30 states if you’re nervous.”

my normie lib family wants him to die, actually

99% of Republicans understand nothing about intraleft politics. they’re still saying shit like “you won’t be so happy when BILL CLINTON is implicated will you?”

I would be utterly thrilled to rid the Democratic Party of everyone who was pals with Jeffrey fucking Epstein why exactly would I want a child abuser to make government policy

my experience trying to get people to read umineko since completing it

this @katelynburns.com piece about the death of lia smith deserves your full attention www.teenvogue.com/story/politi...

*deep breath* YOU HAVE TO TRANSITION YOU HAVE TO BE AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN YOUR OWN FUCKING FUTURE IT’S NOT GONNA HAPPEN TO YOU IT WON’T COME FROM FUCKING WALLOWING AWAY NO AMOUNT OF SELF-LOATHING AND THINKING ABOUT THE PROCESS WILL EVER MAKE UP FOR NEGLECTING THE PROCESS THIS ISNT SOME FUCKING WI

this isn’t even the right stereotype about Bluesky! the actual legit criticism is that the core user base *only* talks about things like Senate inside baseball and not, like, movies or pop culture

TRANS RIGHTS ARE A WINNING POLITICAL ISSUE Every single centrist claiming we must all compromise our bodily autonomy for their personal comfort is a traitor to American democracy & rational human decency. They have no place in a modern Democratic Party, toss them out. Total liberation for all.

Especially after tonight, all elected Democrats should be talking about Trump as a lame duck president desperate to illegally abuse and hold onto power despite voters overwhelmingly rejecting violent authoritarianism and giving Democrats a mandate at the ballot box.

Mamdani speaks. "My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life, but let tonight be the last time I say his name, as we turn the page that abandons the many in favor of the few."

Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM

Okay so we've been having a good time joking around about President Groverhaus and his architectural stylings but I feel even Grover would look at this and say it looks like shit

ネイティオ／Xatu

the proof for ALL THE WAY is here! I have also included a normal 135k-word (plus illustrations) novel for comparison

Today's Classic Anime Girl is Hibari Oozora, main protagonist of "Stop!! Hibari-kun!!" (1983)!

OMGGGGGGG LOOK AT THE LITTLE BIRDS OMGGGGG

Coffee shops are the heart of darkness for republicans. All their horror stories take place inside them. They have taken the place of the forest in middle American gothic.

Everything reminds me of ✨her✨

oh dear I'm going to be downloading this just for cute natu/xatu pictures aren't i

“sum up the respective personalities of the two main het couples in your books”

This is trans rights, too. There is no viable position for the Democrats other than “trans rights are human rights.” Trying to triangulate a position where you throw trans people under the bus “just a little” to woo swing voters only feeds the right’s argument that trans people are a threat 1/x

VENUS a mini comic about girls night uniting us all 1/2

Millions of heterosexual, conservative men were tricked into reading a romance novel that is, frankly, hot garbage, and cite it as one of their favorite books. And I'm not afraid to say it. Atlas Shrugged is a bad book for its politics and it's ALSO a bad romance novel

finally another good use of my tax dollars
