Liberals: trans people need to shut up and take one for the team! Trans people: well at least we’re on the team Liberals: you’re not. sorry, but we have to protect the integrity of metaphorical sports

you could simply leave the “Jewish” part out of this it is a choice and it is a bad one and I would really, truly prefer that people ostensibly on my side of the political spectrum not make it

every day i see immigrants living their lives despite the threat of abduction by the state, more normies engaged in mutual aid and spontaneous resistance, more trans people finding joy and community despite tremendous persecution. finding it easier than every to engage in revolutionary optimism

feels like we're going to win

The fact that the protests are this large on sub one day notice in the middle of winter is a sign that Renee Nicole Good is on the side of the people and that in the depths of our dispair we must remember that are going to fucking win Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Transgender and nonbinary kids have been in the news a lot lately, but usually they’re not telling their own stories. The California Report Magazine has been airing a series of conversations between trans youth and the people that love and mentor them. www.kqed.org/forum/201010...

starting to realize there are people all over the political spectrum who have no theory of mind

hey, y'all. i know my followers are mostly lurkers but just wanted to say real quick: tmnt mutant mayhem (2023) is a hell of a lot of fun. i know i'm late on this. happy friday

if you don't play the tape, you're not in the saw trap

ah, yes. frankenstein. or as i like to call him, franklin nathan stein

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

we are going to win

sometimes you want to be some kind of iconoclast but sometimes you have to acknowledge that some popular thing fucks objectively. take, for example, citizen kane,

frederic edwin church's 1865 painting "aurora borealis," presented without further comment

the fallow chef looks related to christopher nolan

rich people are not better with money. they just have more latitude to fuck up

i think we should start wearing the trans colors as belts the way they did during the french revolution

all that and a puppygirl in every home

things are bleak in many ways, but we won some good ground tonight. we still have each other. the future is ours if only we reach out and take it

good morning. we are going to win

reading the count of monte cristo. dreaming

my boyfriend keeps saying "hallowed be thy ween" to me. how do i make them stop

maybe tomorrow will be brighter

good morning! the air is crisp, the roommates are burning incense, and we are going to win <3

listen to trans POC when we tell you that doomerism isn't the way, and that radical optimism has been the only path towards survival and freedom throughout our history!

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

The world is so filled with beauty and wonder and I feel very strongly both that it should be a kinder place to live in and that it is within our power to make it as such

it is more important to read books you actually enjoy reading than books that are Literature

don't ever let them take away your capacity for kindness, and love, and beauty

Read bad art. Write bad art. Critique bad art.

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

Caleb Hearon’s joke about trans women in his special was really good “People look at trans women and see failed men. But I *know* trans women. And when I see them I know God didn’t fail at making a man! He tried and succeeded at making a DJ! Get that tall bitch some turntables and let her work!!”

we are going to win

log on! read into the void! log off!

people really love to be like "religion has to be eliminated because of extremism" and it's like. okay. most books and movies and tv shows suck ass. this has always been the case. most art sucks either aesthetically or thematically. should we stop making art. should art be eliminated

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

this whole thread rules but from here down it also sings

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

This wouldn't just ban federal funds from directly funding gender-affirming care, it would be an effective ban on ANY facility that receives ANY federal funding for ANY reason from providing gender-affirming care. It's a de-facto ban. Call your congressmen.

Genocide. We all need to keep collectively calling it exactly what it is. Especially us cis folks. When they’re done gunning for the most vulnerable groups they’ll just go after the next most vulnerable and won’t stop because they never stop. Thats what hatred is. It’s Genocide, plain and simple.

literally i'm so excited. the movie i'm watching isn't even good. is it happening? has it happened?

it’s incredibly hard to do anything under threat of genocide and the way trans people are making art, making and strengthening mutual aid networks, lifting each other up and making sure cis people can’t ignore the persecution give me so much hope. we’re an incredibly resilient community

excellent thread below:

the whole internet loves tgirl microblogging site, the new social media site that's cool because of all the interesting trans women who post on it *5 seconds later* we regret to inform you that they're banning all the trans women

This is one of my favorite paintings, from any painter, ever. Not only is she crushing Mein Kampf, but the arc of her rivet gun's cable also evokes a serpent being crushed under her heel - even while the rivet gun herself is laid on her apron like Christ on the lap of the Virgin Mary.
