I loved going on Jamie and Serena's journey in @charliejane.bsky.social's Lessons in Magic and Disaster. Catnip for me: queer witchy story of generational healing with a throughline of literary nerdiness that makes my heart sing. I recommend this book.

Nonsense like this is why I am slowly trusting cis people less and less.

You'll probably recognize your faves in my top ten, including @joyurcaba.bsky.social, @oriion.bsky.social, @transvestigations.bsky.social (from @erininthemorning.com), and @hencarnell.bsky.social. And in the bottom five you'll find @theatlantic.com, @nytimes.com, and @wsj.com of course.

Fuck YouTube. I would rather my videos stay removed than edit them to cut out the word gambling. For years, my work was about how loot boxes were gambling, and I used the word because companies didn’t want the word used. I’d sooner lose every video than destroy the point of them. Fuck. YouTube.

​💖 Mutual Aid Request: HRT 💖 Hello lovelies ​I need urgent help refilling my testosterone prescription. I am one month behind schedule, and this medication is vital for my health. ​Need: $50 (for refill) Any help is deeply appreciated... ​PayPal: [email protected]

Lotta balls for the guy who has looted our government of TWENTY TRILLION over two terms to tell his own voters to stop spending so much on pencils and christmas toys.

The voters are clear. There is absolutely no reason for the Democrats or any group that cares about democracy to capitulate to radical right and their misogyny, racism, transphobia and homophobia

A lot of journalists are writing stories about DIY now and I don't trust any of them not to scaremonger about it to build support for crackdowns. I've refused requests for interviews on this. Do not talk to the media about DIY.

It's been 2 months since the latest donation to @anariablooms.bsky.social's gfm for gender-affirming surgery. Help her out and/or boost if you can, trans WOC have such a hard time getting traction on here. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ar...

Boomers: It just sucks so much that everyone gets participation trophies now, you used to have to show real merit to get an award Also Boomers:

Prison life isn't necessarily what you expect. Would you have guessed that American prisons often rely on incarcerated members of the LGBTQ+ community for their administrative skills? Another remarkable essay from the other side of the wall, by B Speaks. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

We know everyone is asking for your money this month, but here's a twist: We're NOT asking you to donate in December, we're asking you to spread the word. Help the trans people and allies who don't know Assigned Media's reputation for excellence and originality in trans news find us!

This is like if Tyson stopped selling consumer chicken. RAM is about to cost as much as a brand new pc. The cost of everything from tablets, to phones, to laptops will skyrocket. All because AI data centers are consuming all the available RAM they can get. www.pcgamer.com/hardware/the...

Current US Policy: If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

Trans people to transphobes be like: But oh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend Oh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend Your city lies in dust

Here’s Judith Butler explaining what this movement is and always was, about five years ago.

Emphatically this. Materially and directly harming a group of people and expecting them to be cool with it is madness at best and white supremacy at worst. Being an ally means getting hit with the same blows we do *and standing strong*. Running means you were never an ally, just an opportunist.

When writing this piece, I kept thinking back to this Instagram post I saw from a trans woman the other day. This is what I'm talking about. Watch this:

My nominations for this year: beekian.wordpress.com/2025/12/02/m... Very much rooting for @jemma.bsky.social @callistokhan.bsky.social @ciricegray.itch.io and @tinylesbianrobot.itch.io

If you've got some coin, toss some in the plate of trans journalists telling trans stories from trans perspectives, because fuck jf the cis corporate media are going to do it.

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

This is absolutely fucking AMAZING.

Does anyone know why I see people I have not followed on my bluesky home feed?

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

A really well-done study on HRT's effects as a suicide preventative for youth. This research doesn't really tell us anything new--just confirm the findings of smaller studies, which matters a lot. Here's the nutshell version of it's strengths and weaknesses.

the lesbians yearn for bodies of steel and chrome to do ultra violence against oppressive systems

It's what they did with trans youth. They centered the perspectives of certain doctors and parents rather than the youth at issue themselves. Then they do the "just asking questions" bit that launders terrible dehumanizing rhetoric and undermines their dignity and rights.

The NYT claims diagnosis is a problem despite substantial improvements in detection and early intervention. The problem for them is that there are low needs autistic people who can advocate for themselves and push back against dehumanizing rhetoric like this against those on the spectrum.

That's what this is about. They spoke a lot to the parents of autistic children but almost never to the children themselves. It centers the perspectives of allistic people instead. They absolve themselves of this problem by focusing on high needs autistic children they claim they can't speak with.

GIVE PEOPLE MONEY TO LIVE IT WORKS THEY FUCKING LIVE

It's still conventional wisdom among pundits that Republicans beat Democrats because Democrats are too focused on transgender people and our rights, but voters are quickly realizing it's the other way around. You banned a middle schooler from field hockey and guess what? Johnny still can't read.

"I just say, ‘You know, it’s hard for me to care about Riley Gaines tying for fifth when my swim coach is accused of raping my teammates.” Gaines never talks about her teammates who were raped by her coach that she supported. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

Maya in 1933: "I met the publisher responsible for Der Stürmer and its publication of Jewish crimes. They told me how they they didn't want Jewish crimes recorded as German crime so they set up the publication to ensure accuracy to the Volksgemeinschaft."

Since Trans Joy Tuesday got such a great response last week, let’s do it again. For the trans people out there, let’s offset all the bad news and share something happy going on with you. Whether it’s big or small, please share your joy!

Nvidia has an earnings call on Wednesday and given this I'll bet just about anything that they're coming in hugely down. When they do, that may be The Moment everyone has been waiting for to trigger this whole house of cards coming down.

“Why do women, especially women of color leave physics?” Oh I dunno maybe because you do have to be fucking crazy on a level to put up with this shit for your entire career and not walk away bsky.app/profile/chan...

Kuma is a handsome dud, quite dapper: Cat in hat part deux #catinhat #hedgewatch #cats #catsofblusky

For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.

Lol. I decided to spend 5 minutes poking into 'what lobbyist group is against hemp' and got...fentanyl manufacturers, companies selling regulated THC in states which allow it (and don't want competition), and a laundry list of conservative billionaires.

I want to read a sapphic romance novel with a nonbinary vampire.

It's kinda like if you were born intuitively feeling like the A button should be on the right, X should be up, B down, etc. but life hands you an Xbox controller and everyone gets super weird the moment you ask about button remapping.

This is a beautiful and powerful statement of affirmation and love for transgender, non-binary, and intersex people. it doesn’t always feel true, but there is so much love for our communities. There are so many people out there who see our value and our inherent worth.

We're in the "raping young teenage girls isn't pedophilia" part of the cope from MAGA. These people are evil.

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

genuinely very few things more satisfying than reading the kinds of emails rich and famous people send each other

One of the hardest things to remember in these times is that while things are falling apart, *they are not falling apart because you're not trying hard enough*. They're falling apart because the structures of our society can't prop them up anymore. You are enough, just as you are.

This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
