A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

many ppl highlighting flaws in this article. but having fought in the "80% desistance" wars of the mid-2010s, I remember asking anti-trans activists if they'd be ok if 80% of youth were helped by gender-affirming care (flipping their argument). & they *never* answered. b/c they want *zero* trans ppl

Arrested because a white woman demanded he change the way he was sitting and when he didn’t, she complained to the conductor about his posture. His posture.

So, I recently moved and multiple things were destroyed in the move, including one of my monitors, the stand for my other monitor, and my desk. If you want to help me replace these items which I need to write, you can donate to my Kofi or Patreon. Thank you 💜 dax.ink/tip dax.ink/patreon

🚨UPDATE: In response to the boycott that erupted over the weekend, Disney decided to update the cancellation process on their website, making it MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEIR SUBSCRIBERS TO STOP GIVING THEM MONEY. This underhanded strategy hasn’t retained customers as they hoped.

And this is why I laugh every time Vercel tries to recruit me. Like are you fucking serious?

To be clear, for casual browsers here: The Economist lied about the findings of this study and then asked the anti-trans equivalent of the KKK their opinion on the research. SEGM has publicly stated that their goal is to eliminate transition--trans people--ENTIRELY. Absolutely shameful article.

The degree to which you misrepresent the study you're reporting on is astonishing. This graph is from that study: 94.6-98.4% of all youth trans participants turned out to be trans at the end, not 80%. And SEGM, who you quote as an authority here, is an SPLC-recognized anti-trans hate group.

there's always a John Waters quote, it seems

They're making the sunsets transgender!

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

KNIGHTS OF GUINEVERE PILOT IS OUT NOW ON YOUTUBE!

tired of prominent """leftist""" """journalists""" rabble-rousing and fearmongering and making a lot of very vulnerable people way more scared than they should be. Disinformation applies to us, too, folks.

thinking of all the men in all my software jobs who told me I was being a closed-minded bitch about DHH over the years :)

cancer is a perfect biological model for what fascism is, what it does, why it’s incompatible with life, and why it must be killed before it kills its host

DHH fucking sucks. That's the nuanced take ^_^

Absolutely horrific. Israel continues to murder journalists in all directions with complete impunity, including this latest attack in which it killed 31 journalists in Yemen. This marks the deadliest single attack on the press in 16 years, per @pressfreedom.bsky.social.

when is Knights of Guinevere actually airing?? #kog #KnightsOfGuinevere

Hello everyone! I am thrilled to say that Porcelain Friday has returned. And what a chapter to return with! In chapter fifteen there will be heart to hearts by the fireplace, and you can read it right here www.scribblehub.com/series/16240...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social texted me a few days ago asking for a couple of bucks for some PAC shit. I called him basically a spineless dweeb if he thinks I'm giving him any money for continuing to be absolutely useless. I see he didn't fail to disappoint just a couple of days later w/ this move.

oof, what a disappointing way to end more than 15 years of open source work. (summary by @duckinator.bsky.social at pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...). good luck to the remaining RubyGems team, and it’s time to focus my energy on new projects that I’m truly excited about, like rv.dev

Anyway speaking of inciting violence this has me laughing too hard

TikTok algorithm update

I am very confused because this document kind of very explicitly states that this is not talking about all trans people, but exclusively about those who threaten or take violent action (already illegal) WHILE ALSO being connected to trans stuff. It is, effectively, a label for propaganda

If you feel in the dumps about the current situation, remember that the apparent power and influence they have is being artificially augmented by systems created for the benefit of slavery and do not redirect the actual collective will of the people This is NOT the majority opinion

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

iOS 26 - 2010s UI is back with a glass filter. If I got your attention remember people in Gaza, Sudan and DRC are under catastrophic humanitarian man made crisis. Don’t look away. Also free speech is under attack for real. And no it wouldn’t have been the same under Kamala & Tim

Judge a cook not by whether they can cook perfect rice, but by whether they can save rice once it’s been messed up

lol. Lmao. Sob. See the thing about Godwin’s Law is that it’s supposed to be about hyperbole, and here we have these people basically recreating WWII headlines

if the democratic party were led by van hollen instead of chuck schumer or hakeem jeffries right now democratic party approval rating would fly through the roof

People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders. But the soul has so much more individuality🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 No matter how much my activities are restricted, super Chiitan will continue to speak out until we live in a world where everyone can freely express their love and love each other♡

And they say there's no moral way to become a billionaire

what the fuck is even going on "transvestigators" really have no fucking clue what they're talking about and it's so fucking bizarre to even suggest going along with this shit. I hope Owens gets fucking bankrupted into oblivion for this and sets one hell of an example.

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned. Thought you'd enjoy this.

Today in ransomware, Slack increases pricing by $195k with a week's notice for a non-profit that teaches teenagers how to code.

Just want to shout out @cartoonist.coop for anyone making comics and looking to join in solidarity with other comic makers!

There are class action lawsuits, and mutual aid groups like Stop GenAI: stopgenai.com

I've seen some reactions from struggling artists along the lines of 'I give up' and I feel your pain—but please do not. Most people don't want to live in a world where artists are automated away, art production is captured by AI firms. Most people hate this idea. Organize. Build solidarity. Fight.

Bad Bunny ending Season 50 as the musical guest and starting Season 51 as the host means so much to me man.
