let’s help rye get top surgery!! every little bit helps 💗

Hard to not go fucking insane in a world where they behave like fiction can hurt you while literally bombing schools. Hope all of these fascist fucks take a very long walk off of a very short pier.

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch www.theverge.com/podcast/8914...

i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.

i went to a panel today where Ross Gay, one of my favorite writers, talked about poetry and process and paying attention with some of my amazing coworkers, and at the end of it i was able to give him a little letter thanking him for his work which he was so kind and gracious about

I like this a lot, and it applies to everything. You don't have to go total cold turkey on *every* backend-awful thing out there. Maxxabstaining/ Waldenponding isn't needed! Just push your behaviour in a new direction and turn that preference into a habit. That'll move the needle nicely.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

Just published an update to this, covering the team structures for the US and Canada (ie. who is on which line), and the news that Team Canada left the Olympic village after one day and moved into a hotel:

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

From the bestskeeting author of the Bluesky-famous six-week Bad Bunny 101 comes this essential close reading of the halftime show! 🧵

'This decision is a major setback for Sex Matters, which raised more than £65,000 to try and force the pond to ban trans people, trying to go against regular swimmers. More than 32,000 people said they wanted the ponds to remain trans inclusive – 86% of the respondents to the consultation'

As January comes to a close, The Rec Center approaches Femslash February, which I believe we've observed every year since the start. But despite putting out a call for F/F fic recs several weeks ago, we've received *checks notes* 3 submissions. 😵‍💫 C'mon, folks! Please send us your favorite F/F!

This or just dumping people *in the woods* AND sending folks out w/o their phone or I.D. Volunteers w/ Safe Haven wait at the gate & do sweeps of the woods, with warm clothes, a burner, and a ride home, "so no one is left alone at the gate." I donated; pls join me if you can: gofund.me/7d506a3d0

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

NEW: MN judges continue to reject arrest warrants in ICE protests. Sources tell @ms.now feds aren’t providing evidence that protestors are committing the crimes of which they’re accused. First byline with the great @carolleonnig.bsky.social and Alex Tabet. www.ms.now/news/minneso...

This is insane. Insane that it's happening. Insane that these good folks need to do it in the first place. And insane that no one in power is helping them one iota.

the EU could collapse the American entertainment industry by simply withholding the Skarsgards until Trump is deposed

"Many of ICE’s critics worry that the agency is hoovering up pro-Trump thugs... for a domestic security force loyal to the president. The truth, my experience suggests, is perhaps even scarier: ICE’s recruitment push is so sloppy that the administration effectively has no idea who’s joining."

2025 was a big year for queer fantasy but also for swinging wildly between different moods and genres and tbh i had a blast
