When I was young veganism was utterly hegemonic in activist spaces / the radical left. Anarchism was practically *synonymous* with the animal liberation movement. To be a leftist was either to be vegan like a normal person, or to be embarrassed and secretive about your animal product consumption.

Those eyes tho 💚🐱💙

Seriously, fuck terfs Im sick of being told, as a woman, im supposed to be polite and submissive to those who are oppressing me and other people Politeness in the face of hate is cowardice

* Laverne Cox ( @lavernecox.bsky.social) - Actress and activis often signal boosts others * CeCe McDonald - Wrongly imprisoned for self defense, outspoken for our rights * Julia Serano (@juliaserano.bsky.social) - Wrote Whipping Girl often called the Transfemme Manifesto (please reply with more!!!)

If you read it this far, I challenge you to name just 2 or 3 trans activists who came before you... If you can't, please consider that not knowing this basic history shoots us all in the foot

I had a very interesting talk about institutional amnesia and the trans community 🏳️‍⚧️ this morning with a close friend The idea is that in the trans community we often forget about those who came before us and the hard fought lessons they learned Causing us as a community to relive these failings...

Roller Derby is the only place my butchness is not just accepted , it's appreciated.

Liberals falling for culture war division and wanting to literally see all the men women and children of "red states" dead are doing the fascist jobs for them. I know I need to ignore these ignorant takes, but sometimes it just hits so hard 😞

Exciting news happening in the world of Discord Alternatives 💜 blog.fermi.chat/blog/2026/04...

I'm tired of hearing people in the "baby boom" generation who complaining about young people and No Kings Protests Protest with out DIRECT ACTION is just a PUBLIC M@STURBATION This isn't a contest about who can go out and hold a sign Its about helping each other get better outcomes via ACTION

Its depressing that my local pride group thinks this is the type of content that they should be putting out If this doesn't bother you, just try and think about using this post with any other slur N word, T word, F word, etc You wouldn't do this, because you shouldn't (original image is censored)

Waking to my friends telling me that my Twitter trolling of White Nationalists and Nazis is now published in the Guardian Goals am I right?

So @michaelehayden.bsky.social and @jaredlholt.bsky.social are live at Politics and Pros to talk about Mikes new book The Strange People on the Hill! This is so HYPE, tune in now if you've got the time!!!! www.youtube.com/live/jEbIajS...

Link with livestream to book convo “Strange People on the Hill” at Politics & Prose tonight at 5 PM with author @michaelehayden.bsky.social & researcher @jaredlholt.bsky.social Book is about WN VDare & Brimelows making a castle in Berkeley Springs WV their HQ politics-prose.com/michael-edis...

West Virginia had a former coal executive lead our Dept of Environmental Protection for years. He gave permit exceptions to a Rockwool plant between 2 schools and the Mountain Valley Pipeline among others. I am terrified for our public lands.

Why are Massachusetts lawmakers trying to help Trump cut trans kids off from lifesaving online resources and community? www.wbur.org/news/2026/04...

Here's s some of the toll it took on me, but people in small towns across the U.S.--just like Berkeley Springs, West Virginia--have faced it. The extremism of our era has turned neighbors, colleagues and family against one another. It's a hard way for Americans to live: bsky.app/profile/mich...

Strange People on the Hill is out today! If you feel this cultural moment—the “cold civil war”—has taken a toll on your psyche, this book will speak to you: www.boldtypebooks.com/titles/micha...

But nazis need to have free speech too!!!! Just let them have bank accounts, its okay if they use it to do violence! Do people think this type logic works in 2026?

The dems are obsessed with snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, and are more than willing to let never-trump RINOs lead the charge into midterms And just like we saw in the Presidential election, its going to end badly The "big tent" of the Democratic party, is going to be our death

Bloodroot flowers, trout lilies, and some scarlet elf cap fungi. Aka Spring in Appalachia, aka the only therapy I have access to 💕🏞️

Onetime, while helping organize a Values Based Consensus (VBS) collective - I told the group "this is not a democracy" - meaning to imply that the group was GROUP Consensus based, not run by majority rule Someone legit made a complaint that "She is dictator and said it wasnt a democracy"

Talk about dodging a bullet 😅

If only May 1st meant something, or had some type of meaning *checks no-kings organizers* hmm guess not, I guess May 1st is just a completely random day...

A quick thread 🧵and run down on why the FTC's letter to PayPal, Stripe, Visa, and Mastercard has nothing to do with adult content and service providers and everything to do with Trump's current lawsuits and "rebanking" the far-right domestic extremist movement

Infowars, The Daily Stormer, and VDARE are fading into memory—but the worldview they built didn’t disappear. It’s been absorbed into an increasingly extreme MAGA movement that now dominates the right. Me for MSNOW: www.ms.now/opinion/alex...

But why is Mr #Poettering of #SystemD just "accepting" age attestation Surely it has nothing to do with him quitting #Microsoft / microslop to create a NEW company named "Amutable" that seeks to "handle attestations (including age)" for GNU/Linux systems? Scumbag isn't even hiding it

The world that #Poettering and #SystemD thirst for, as they are busy writing APIs for it already! Imagine trying to run an app on your computer but, wait no you didn't because it needs to use the #systemd age-verification system! This is part of the WAR on General Purpose Computing

Poettering is a dangerous force in the GNU/Linux ecosystem Its well past time that we **cut him out** of the community and stop letting him have power over projects Take this "justification" for "tracking birthdays in systemd" #systemd #linux #opensource #gnu #debian

SystemD has always been a way dor megacorps to control GNU/Linux Now that they have taken over the ecosystem they will do even more

Imagine being so detached from reality that you ask a chatbot to explain your own mom to you Just get a therapist instead of asking tech billionaire to give you what you want to hear This chatbot psychosis stuff is starting to really scare me

As opposed to how US officials used to just quietly think this, and use dog whistles instead People prefer their American Theocracy to be on the down low, and get a little upset when the quiet part is said out loud Personally I think this change is good, it lets people see how the sausage is made
