Re-upping this, since the poor Bluesky servers kept having trouble when I first put it up.💜

Star Trek Academy has really grown on me this season, despite my misgivings as the season started. I'm here for our queer Klingon king, and teen drama, even when it makes no operational sense. And I'm annoyed it isn't getting more runway.

They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls. CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing

Goodnight to everyone except this helicopter pilot

I am pretty sure that if a Democratic US President was in office, lashing out at the supreme pontiff, and blasphemously depicting himself as the savior, the headlines would describe this papal response as defending the church and not “hitting back.”

Truly unreal how this one fucking dickhead is psychologically abusing, terrifying and immiserating everyone on the planet. I don't know what's going to happen tonight but it certainly feels like we're going to need to be gathered in the streets sooner rather than later.

Your regular reminder that dehumanizing the people who are dehumanizing others isn’t how we’re gonna get to liberation. We have to live into the world we want to create.

Ah yes, these are the conservatives I grew up with

I had better see a record number of reposts on this.

you have the incredible opportunity to hire @yaelwrites.com

Except you’re not fighting??? bsky.app/profile/erin...

Only 10,000 qubits needed? Oof. That's... closer and closer.

Don't even pirate it.

“It feels like we are fast-tracking our way into fascism.” #NoKings story via @caitlinsievers.bsky.social and @glorihuh.bsky.social

The #Tempe #NoKings protest was quite sizable today! It certainly appeared that we wrapped around the whole ~2 mile marching path, with lots of drivers honking in support.

These legislators think they're so clever with their backdoor normative references -- thankfully we have good people watching them. But we need massive outrage. They're very clearly aiming to murder us.

People don't realize how common DSDs are, especially chimerism. You can even end up with XY cells floating around you body from giving birth to a boy. So, yeah, Alejandra is absolutely correct.

she's literally funneling the cash from all her various media ventures into a money gun and pointing it directly at whichever institution promises to hurt trans people the most. she's not even lying about it. she's just telling you that's what she's going to do if you give her more money

J.K. Rowling's anti-trans stance was exposed in 2019. Almost 8 years ago. Listen to queer folks! There is no excuse to be supporting this hateful author in 2026. 🏳️‍⚧️💙🏳️‍🌈

We cannot give this FCC more power than it has. Broadcasters, journalists, and the public should recognize these empty threats for what they are and fight to defend the First Amendment against any attempt to control or intimidate the press. 🧵

Spent lunch today rolling up an enby expert technician in Stars Without Number for a game that maaybeee might start on Pi Day, name of Jules. #ttrpg

Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people. This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists. The study underpinning this played one particular trick. Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5

At the AZ Renaissance Festival today, I had a very #enby moment: while getting a cider for my partner, the bartender used "ma'am" for me the whole transaction. Until I turned & walked away, and she felt the need to call me back and apologize (?) 1/2 #renfaire

I'm actually convinced that a hefty proportion of anti-LGBT+ rhetoric is prompted by completely repressed parents not wanting to have to discuss sex, however obliquely, with their own damn children. (Not the really hateful bigoted stuff, obviously. Those people are just hate-filled)

This isn’t contradictory if you believe that both women and children are property

People are people. Even if you disagree with them, even if they're confusing to you, even if they hurt you. If you watch people doing this, you can see them ripping out part of their soul. We aren't getting into a better world without *all* of us getting there.

being trans online is like [posts a silly joke] [sees news abt government trying to exterminate us] [like funny post by trans friend] [more news about gov wanting us dead] [repost funny joke] [trans friend shares horrible news about insurance issues/sexual violence/abusive family] [sees funny post]

I am not sure my state will stand behind me, to be honest...

I was discussing depictions of space combat in movies and TV today, and while I had at hand good examples of excellent battles in The Expanse, I was countered with the Battle of Proxima III from S4E15 of Babylon 5. I'm a big fan of B5, but it has been a long minute since I last watched. (1/2)

The largest categorial of American "bike lanes" are little more than lines of paint at the edges of deadly roads — and that lack of quality infrastructure is keeping many would-be riders out of the saddle, a new study confirms.

This would be less scary if science journalists hadn't completely abandoned science in favor of right wing propaganda on youth trans care already.

We have your backs. You're not alone.

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

The Arizona #MeshCore group has today successfully connected Phoenix and Tucson via #LoRA, a feat months in the planning. Tonight, we share memes across relays stretching more than 150 miles.

Hello #CactusCon, I am here!

You know the end of the Muppet Show theme song when they blare on a trumpet? Yeah, right here 👇

The subscriber gift from @lookoutnews.bsky.social this time is a super nice custom bar of coffee and lavender soap. I dig it!!

some people are really struggling with the epstein emails because they don't want to admit that the "good" billionaire celebrities they've spent their lives defending weren't taken in by a master manipulator, but rather a barely literate pedophile

I'm not even mad

I will never get over America's comics spending the last decade giving trans people the shit Stephen Miller deserved.

In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

Well I’m not a senator, so my powers of calling it into question are pretty much limited to writing and protest. But you could make an issue of it on the US Senate floor every legislative day.
