damn, I know it's just advertising, but this is good

right-wing reactionaries always get the rules changed and the goalposts moved for them while the rest of us are ordered to politely appease them I think part of why this is so satisfying, even for people with zero affection for or relationship to the church, is just anyone saying "fuck you" to that

*clears throat* *taps mic* welcome to Schism Watch 2026 I am here to report a new crashout

I WAS the eldest daughter and now I'm a queer trans guy, I'm divorced, I refuse to have kids and I converted to Judaism!

There will be talk over the coming days that ICE killed “the wrong person,” that the victim was here “legally,” etc. Please stop with the dehumanizing distinctions. ICE exists to ethnically cleanse & terrorize and *no one* deserves to experience violence & fear based on their status or race.

3 things to remember with every LEO murder: 1. everyone they kill is innocent because they were never proven guilty 2. none of the punishments for the crimes they are accused of is death 3. cops being "afraid" of something is no justification for murder

oh midnight pals, my beloved

Today I have before me perhaps one of the most daunting challenges it is possible to face: Making A Phone Call. I will put things off for literal months rather than call to speak to someone who (whatever their level of enthusiasm) is paid to answer phone inquiries.

You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.

Don’t stop after beating the swords into plowshares, don’t stop! Go on beating and make musical instruments out of them. Whoever wants to make war again will have to turn them into plowshares first. --Yehuda Amichai

This is huge! The Trump administration is abandoning its plan to withhold Medicaid funding from hospitals that provide gender affirming care to trans youth under 19. www.npr.org/2026/07/13/n...

just to be excruciatingly clear it is also not okay to shoot the target of your warrant as an arresting LEO. the warrant is not a warrant to shoot someone. it is a warrant for arrest.

Wow emailed the mayor about my concerns regarding his treatment of trans New Yorkers and they replied?? With specific details about what they’re doing to protect trans New Yorkers?? Mamdani is FAR from perfect but I’ve never had a government agency reply to an email I’ve sent before.

fucking love this

All AI art is like a high school kid who dazzles everyone in his tiny town and then goes to art school and drops out after a semester because “the instructors were all jealous.”

The eligibility requirements HAVE CHANGED CONSIDERABLY in the last few years and if you were previously ineligible, you may now be eligible. Notable changes: there is no longer a ban for people who lived in the UK for 6+ months and there is no longer a universal ban for men who have sex with men.

anything too technologically complicated to be created with an average dad's garage tools and named after something from the lord of the rings should be presumptively banned and its creators investigated for criminal conspiracy and sedition

Hey, a good way to celebrate Lindsey Graham kicking the bucket is to contact your senators about KOSA and the KIDS Act. Graham was a big proponent of these kinds of laws, as well as of gutting section 230.

it bugs me that so many people are jumping to AI for this photo, like the Victorians weren't staging elaborate photos with their deceased loved ones my money is on: he's a vegetable so he doesn't even need makeup and is easily posable. she got back yesterday, this is an easy photo shoot

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

when you put it like that

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

This is a great passive aggressive statement that all opposing politicians should aspire to. bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefing-roo...

Shout out to the three dozen male DC-area sex workers who saw the news this morning and are now scrambling to see who can call the tabloids the fastest. I wish you all luck in your negotiations

I'm just going through the 'political positions' section of Lindsey Graham's Wikipedia entry and he did this thing where he'd say "oh I don't think we should overturn Roe v Wade" then two years later he'd say "well I just think it should be up to the states, this is a states' rights issue"

this obituary is INCREDIBLE

"thanks for the offer of living in your head rent free but we already have an entire city"

In case anyone is wondering how I "clocked" Platner, it was the fact that he is a literal mercenary with a Nazi tattoo. Maybe keep that in your back pocket

where have all the captions gone?

never forget that the main thing the american revolution was about was land hunger and dispossessing indigenous people

It's only fitting that Mitch McConnell should die as he has lived: slow walking that shit to waste everybody's fucking time.

I wrote about the oyster man

man TES lore is so fucking dense, every time I think I understand something, it turns out I was missing something major

hello, have a new chapter of my trans and gay #Skyrim #fanfic archiveofourown.org/works/837801...

How dare he *checks notes* fund education....

always annoys me because you can get really high up in the world if youre a man who is weird as fuck about women but you literally cannot function in society if you're a woman who is weird about men.

I'm surprised @lowqualityfacts.bsky.social didn't break this news, honestly

okay but this one sent me

Mitch McConnell remains in a sealed box with a cesium atom

I suspect this is a lot of why it's hitting so good- we are so desperate for the FO part to happen ANYwhere, we'll celebrate it even if we don't fully understand what the FA involved.

it's me! I'm the guy catboy Jew communist! I... don't really care about christ, anti or otherwise, though. is there some other electable position Greta might be interested in running for?

JK Rowling: Give me the large gametes. Waitress: What JK Rowling: The large gametes. Waitress: I don't JK Rowling: Why do you hate women

African, can confirm: every moment of your life has been spent during an atrocity somewhere, perpetuated or exacerbated by a larger number of countries and corporations than many care to admit.

I fucking love describing Vance as "an empty paper bag" holy shit

witnessing the birth of a new all timer post is such a beautiful thing
