FOLKS!

You don’t have to like Nuzzi or approve of her conduct to understand that Lizza’s choice to publish the material that he is publishing is meant to sexually humiliate her in public in retaliation for disappointing him romantically. The term for that is revenge porn.

This is terrifying and it won't end with sex workers They are coming for ALL of us We need to start putting massive pressure on payment processors again & demand that they process payments for all legal content

The ceasefire continues according to virtually every media outlet. Israel is demolishing entire neighbourhoods in Gaza to make sure Palestinians never go back. The genocide is ongoing

my top 10 movies for the new york times list thing is that one movie where the new york times manufactures consent for anti-trans agendas and panic and shit, inlcuding that one that was like 3 days ago or whatever that folks conveniently forgot i guess

While military deploying to Los Angeles has stoked tensions, it’s LAPD officers who have been most violent toward protesters at anti-ICE demonstrations in LA. We spoke with 5 people who were injured by LAPD and CHP while protesting Sunday. @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/06/10/l...

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

In city after city, police are the single biggest budget item. And I don’t mean like 2% when everything else is 1%. I mean like 40%. Police take priority over drug treatment, psych care, housing, etc etc etc. And now we are here.

This is a great and v recent blog post about the Zionism of Dworkin spectrejournal.com/are-women-we...

The biggest mistake I see in discussions of trans people's healthcare is the idea that hormones and the like are some special service just for us when really all kinds of people access the same health care for all kinds of reasons but they are *withheld* from us because we are trans

“They’re utilizing LGBTQ issues as a wedge. The [504] attack is really about the regulatory process of the federal government, and this will impact almost every interaction that a disabled person has with the services and supports that they receive.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

To instrumentalize what my sister is saying below: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! Don’t allow that nonsense to stand.

tapping the sign. don't participate in metrics bullshit. this discussion is about the reallocation of power into more concentrated circles of technocrats; they'll come up with formulas to post hoc rationalize anything they want to do, and your evaluations only serve to accept the premise

good for her newrepublic.com/article/1909...

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question. “We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

just as a reminder for no reason whatsoever you can subscribe to see the "Jesse Singal follower" labeler here bsky.app/profile/sing...

I'm trans and have been a journalist for over two decades. Absolutely do not ever, under any circumstances, for any reason talk to a journalist about DIY HRT.

the right seized on a small group of people they thought couldn’t fight back, who they could scapegoat for any and everything, and then likened those people’s freedom to the collapse of the nation—and those in power who said they opposed such things failed to stop them

We have to ultimately argue for ourselves in a register where we reject the entire worldview, because essential characteristic or decadent choice, the worldview will bury us for noncompliance with Heterosexuality.

I love that I have a blog again, and I wrote a new post about how creating accessible events means more people end up coming to your events and you can read it here: www.rosalarian.com/post/a-succe... I am particularly fond of this bit:

since all the reactionaries are rallying around the "sanctity of 'biological sex'" to enforce their misogynistic, homophobic, and transphobic control, it's imperative that the left abandon "sex =/= gender" and confront the social construction of sex as a policing mechanism. some starter works:

I made a gingerbread panopticon

Brian Jordan Alvarez made it big this fall with his FX series ​‘English Teacher.​’ He brought his friends along with him — except one, Jon Ebeling, who says that Alvarez assaulted him​ on the set of ‘Caleb Gallo.’ www.vulture.com/article/bria...

Alright, as a disabled person I'm obviously incandescent about the mask ban, but a "social cohesion pledge"? Are you for fucking real?

people just want one (1) place online that is competently moderated and not itching to reinvent itself to appeal to bigots

Companies are so surveillance-pilled and data hungry that they are trying to get everyone to believe that one of the worst aspects of modern technology—that you are constantly surveilled—is now a thing you should wholeheartedly embrace and integrate into every aspect of your existence.

Everyone should be able to change their sex, including children. ALC argued this correctly. What we are fighting to defend is already a compromise with a transphobic society: the authority of doctors and parents within the private domain of the family nymag.com/intelligence...

just sent what I could. the horror of knowing limb-saving treatment exists but has been held out of your reach by the occupying entity that maimed you in the first place... 💔 I'm so sorry, Saed.

kinda feel like the Bsky team won't listen to trans users about this, so I'll say it as a Cis Person: I don't want Jesse Singal on here spreading his lying hateful "just asking questions" bullshit. he is not acting in good faith, he causes active harm, and he adds nothing worthwhile to this platform

The fascist goal is to force obedience and conformity through state violence on the logic that people only exist to serve the state, particularly in their "innate biological capacity," which can and will be stretched to mean whatever they want it to mean, including justifying slavery.

Tennessee SG just said trans people "want a constitutional right to engage in non-conforming behavior" and that's really important because that argument wants to overturn the sex stereotyping precedents that ban laws from, say, requiring women to wear skirts.

[DM voice] Are you sure?

perhaps the most cogent installment of the "I'm a famous person/athlete who got ME/CFS from covid" interview I've seen love that he's done the reading, and that he draws the links between fatphobia/exercise supremacy, eugenics, and medical mistreatment of long covid and flomasks! in the guardian!!

I'm not pro-russia and have no stake in the feud about whether borscht is ukrainian or russian but it feels like it's crossing some sort of line re: bias that Wikipedia labelled it ukrainian and then locked editing, based on UNESCO rushing to list it as ukrainian in response to the war
