Whore you, the apostrophe police?

When I say that I've learned a lot about the Holocaust by living as the parent of a trans kid in the 2020s, I don't mean that I think Republicans are Nazis. No. What I've learned is that Nazis were just the Republicans of their era, and of their system. #ProtectTransKids

Zionism and Judaism are not one and the same, but that doesn’t mean the Protocols of the Elders of Zion isn’t antisemitic since it uses the word “Zion” in the name. Just doing a Jew -> Zionist find-and-replace is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for Judenhaß

I suffered. Misery loves company.

trans women have been dealing with 'major recession' levels of unemployment for years and now we're watching payment processors close off the sex work a lot of us rely on to make ends meet they won't need to round us up for camps if we just starve I guess

Zero makeup, messy hair, nasty roots, but you know what? I look pretty damn young for my age.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

murdered trans women deserve nothing less than to be remembered for how they lived in a truth and a bravery most cis people will never scratch the surface of themselves. they also deserve to be remembered as being murdered FOR being trans.

why does chris, the largest of the reevils, simply not eat the other reevils?

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.

This is how transphobia's right wing fuckery blew open basic respect in the UK, there is absolutely no reason to expect now that being "women critical" is not also a protected belief, if you truly do not believe that women should just be reproductive slaves for cis men. This will be used to abuse.

Donald Trump and Republicans REFUSE to pay Child Support.

There’s no daylight between what Candace says here about “the Jews” & what Nazi propagandists & Father Coughlin said about the Jews in the 1930s. Her show is one of the top 5 “conservative” podcasts in the US. She has 5.5 million subscribers on YouTube and 7.3 million followers on X.

I was so incompetent at expressing masculinity that I got constant derision, shinning, and abuse. And now transphobes act like they lost someone who conformed when I transitioned. Like they lost something. It’s such an egregious phantasm. It makes them feel good, but it’s based on a lie.

I mean yeah? I’m not surprised that even they managed to absorb some of the melting pot nation of immigrants stuff.

(sorry)

There are a lot of trans and enby and LGBTQ people where I work. There are not a lot of trans/enby people who are customers where I work. Some of them are LGB, to be fair. (I live in a major urban area which has plenty of queer and trans people.)

Friend: Post a photo of you from a different era meme! Me: …

The Supreme Court just temporarily greenlit Trump’s discriminatory passport policy that endangers transgender, non-binary, & intersex individuals. Earlier this year, I led 67 representatives and senators in demanding the State Department reverse this unlawful policy.

I spoke with @cameron4txsenate11.bsky.social, a progressive candidate in deep red Texas, about why progressivism is resonating, where to go after Mamdani, "dark woke", and focusing on issues over virtue signaling and culture wars. This was FANTASTIC, don't miss it. youtu.be/OEfzgL2bJiQ

i made one

i swear to fucking god i live in a bizarro universe where i never casually run into other trans people but still end up having regular HRT conversations because every cis woman i meet is going through menopause & YES, HRT IS GOOD, YOUR ENDOCRINOLOGIST & AMERICA JUST HATE WOMEN, HERE IS WHAT YOU WANT

bring back maligning racism as the mark of a stupid person. prejudice is the mark of an idiot. if you believe that shit i bet you also don’t wipe your ass

Mamdani is going to implement Shakira law. Hips will no longer be able to lie.

This was a really good, pleasurable read.

when you say “I did the thing”, you are engaging in a little bit of harmless millennialisms when I say “I did The Thing”, it means I fucked a shapeshifting alien that represents paranoia and the ways it drives people into madness and self destruction we are not the same

Hey yall. Sick tonight so I won’t be able to make a stream. If you could help out with some donations it would be greatly appreciated and helpful, it’s been rough lately ko-fi.com/vesperblack

For Jews, this is not an organizational pivot. It’s an orphaning. Many of us were raised to see the ADL as the Jewish institution that would stand beside our partners in the struggle for justice. With this change, that legacy feels abandoned.

I assembled a chest of drawers today, with only one error (that I fixed!) I’ll put things in it after a nap.

Happy N7 to those that celebrate - and those that will never forgive Bioware for not letting us romance Tali as FemShep

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help. My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes. I hate having to ask this

Hillel: put your right foot in Gentile: done Hillel: now take it out Gentile: ...ok Hillel: put your other foot in, shake it all about Gentile: wait what? Hillel: what is hateful to you do not do to another Hillel: that's what it's all about

I’m calling it. Hair Furor has decided to either omit Clinton, Obama, and Biden, or select extremely unflattering photos of them.

Transphobes are already targeting the biggest star in women's soccer and baselessly alleging she's a man because she's Black. This is what trans people warned would happen. Gender policing that becomes explicitly racial. www.outsports.com/2025/11/6/24...

Honestly one of the worst, most disturbing paragraphs — on the basis of process, substance, and effect — I’ve read in a Supreme Court order or opinion in a very long time.

This is Plessy v Ferguson bullshit.

Complete scumbags and fascist fellow travelers.

The story of this week is that millions of Americans were told in 2024 their lives would be improved if trans people's lives were made worse and I'm glad they're finally waking up to the fact that was never true to begin with--but trans people's lives are still getting worse

the reason Mamdani’s campaign got so much enthusiastic support from left-wing Jews is that, despite all the talk about “Judeo-Christian values” from the right, Muslims and Jews in the US - including Muslim and Jewish politicians - are subjected to incredibly similar cultural pressures.

Y'all are really pushing all of the Black journalists out of the industry, so that you can ask trash questions like this? Embarrassing. Some questions are harmful in and of themselves. It doesn't matter what's said in the debate, or who "wins." Pretending that this is not trash, is weakness.

I have many differences with J Street, but they are absolutely correct about this. It is alarming to see so many American Jewish institutions act as though Mamdani is a unique threat to Jewish safety, while ignoring the mainstreaming of neo-Nazism by the current presidential administration.

If you see this, QTP with a female anime character you love.

When the vice president of the US (under a shambling corpse of a president) is defending the Johnson–Reed Act — directly responsible for the US's refusal to allow in Shoah refugees, indirectly responsible for the murder of 200,000 Jews — I really don't care how scared you are of a Muslim
