I will never forgive the American people for re-electing Donald Trump.

just a reminder that the "everyone involved in this story should die" is referencing the murder of Brandon Teena, a trans man. In the bit, he misgenders and mocks Brandon, too. fuck norm mcdonald.

Of course the girl Pikachus now have long eyelashes and pink cheeks and wear dresses on top of having heart shaped tails. How ELSE would we know they're girl Pikachus? It's very important we understand that these Pikachus are NOT BOYS. /s I don't mind girly Pokemon but the progression makes me mad.

Why do all the new Pokemon things for the new game look so BAD. Those Pikachus are fucking terrible. Look how they massacred my fluffy sparky children

Oh my GOD the new Pokemon starters look fucking stupid. Absolute ass

Oh, okay, so Ana Kasparian is a full-blown Nazi now. Very cool.

I may have no career prospects but at least I have crippling student debt I'll never be able to pay off. I mean, wait, what I meant is, at least I have no ability to go back to school and take out more loans to enter a career that will be just as oversatured as my current one.

The intention of the anti trans project, from “just asking questions” to “fairness in sports” was always this: to make it illegal and impossible to be trans in society. To create pretexts for our arrest and removal, if we don’t put ourselves under house arrest. To punish us for being different.

This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

I hate the dismissive way politics-heads talk about lefties having “purity tests” as an insult. It’s such a sneer. But looked at another way - what it really means is that they have DIFFERENT purity tests. E.g. if we demand full trans rights, that’s supposedly a purity test. Why? [cont]

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails. it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

How about a nice game of chess?

My favorite thing about Halsin is that he unabashedly CARES and refuses to stop caring. No matter what he goes through. No matter how hopeless he feels. He refuses to stop caring, to the point that it causes him pain more often than not. He refuses to stop caring about refugees. He refuses to

My hot take is that the American hardslide into conservatism since Trump won the election has directly influenced the surge in hate towards Halsin, and especially his polyamory. Before anyone gets mad, screenshots this, adds a water effect, and posts to Twitter: I'm not saying everyone who hates

I'm so serious, I think we should have a dark Halsin week. It could either be that's the entire week or each day could have a prompt like serial killer Halsin, sex pest Halsin, etc.

I was thinking about Bear in the Big Blue House and how Bear was a super calming, fatherly, bear figure who just wanted to do a lot of good in the world, and then thinking about Halsin who is a super calming, fatherly, bear figure who just wanted to do a lot of good in the world, and have concluded:

And this is why the claim that "TERFs love and welcome trans boys/men" is dangerous. TERFs see transmasculine people as breeding stock, nothing more.

A remarkable feature of the SAVE Act is that Republicans are explicitly burdening their own voters--conservative married white Republican women. It makes sense if you think about it as a Christian Nationalist project rather than a Republican project. From me: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-save-a...

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

With how the The Pitt cast is very aware of shipping and fandom culture, do you think Noah Wyle has learned what "omegaverse" means yet

So was anyone going to tell me that Robby's FWB nurse Hastings is played by Enobaria from The Hunger Games or was I just supposed to find that out myself

I don't even dream about getting a great job with great pay and benefits anymore. I would literally just settle for a miserable job that pays me enough to live on.

I wish I had gone for an MFA in playwriting instead of an MPH in epidemiology. I would have had a more fun time in grad school, probably taken on less debt, and would not be any worse off job/career wise than I am now 😭 I really was considering it when I graduated and then decided for the MPH

We live in hell

In October 2024, the Georgia secretary of state’s office launched an investigation after receiving numerous reports from residents across several counties saying they’d received partially prefilled absentee ballot applications from Musk’s America PAC. trib.al/n6hAZOC

Katteor stocks are UP

Now I'm thinking of omegaverse nonsense feat. alpha Santos x omega Emma, alpha Langdon x omega Mel and alpha Robby x alpha Abbott tbqh

Since Garcia wants things casual and Santos clearly wants a romantic relationship, I nominate Emma to lez out with Santos next

i am not yet worried about the coming ai-pocolypse.

Yesterday, those who teach Intro to Sociology at Florida colleges (as opposed to universities) received a ready-made curriculum from the state and were ordered to teach it. Yes, you read that correctly. The *state* is enforcing a curriculum on college profs, complete w/ the following restrictions:

Nearly a year into many trans people in the UK being forced to use disabled toilets or asked to work from home pending legal advice and stuff and I haven't seen a single "Izzy's boss told her she has to use a disabled toilet, here's how she feels about it" piece in the papers.

fuck nazis

"I don't get as much engagement here as on twitter" that's all fake bud. sorry. twitter is so fake at this point it's asinine people even pretend it isn't. Before late 2024 the biggest posts on the site got like 10k retweets, now every other post about hating women gets 250k and 7m likes. not real.

American not only becoming a cult of personality but becoming the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the human species is a lot to process

Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help. “A bunch of agents jump out and tackle him, essentially restraining him, and take him away...His six kids are now without their father." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

The deep, visceral "OH DEAR GOD NO" this just got from me...

Jonathan Alter (@jonathanalter.bsky.social) has learned that Trump will kill Netflix’s bid for Warner Bros and help Paramount win, giving the president control of Fox, CBS, CNN, and TikTok. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/02/17/t...

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Look at the p-values. While becoming pro-MAGA happened on almost all metrics for switching from chronological to algorithm, the reverse- algorithm to chronological- almost never produced any significant differences in any metric. Once they get radicalized by Twitter's algorithm, they don't go back.

Seeing entire Youtube videos dedicated to erasing Halsin's polyamory really is something

Why cis centrists think trans people are willing to (let alone SHOULD) sacrifice themselves to a genocidal candidate who will maybe be less genocidal to other groups is beyond me. You can't spend ten years calling a group of people "too far" and blaming them for Trump, then expect them to help you.

This highlights, yet again, that the endless growth touted by capitalists as a whole, let alone tech bros, is more like a malignant tumor that mindlessly divides without care that when its host dies, it does too. Just... endless growth, no care about consequences, choking out vital organ systems

Carol Sturka should be forcemasced actually

No one in the fandom can be as simultaneously annoyingly militant, obnoxious, and just factually wrong as Halsin haters lmao

ICYMI, I updated The Dreams of Doomed Men! archiveofourown.org/works/607037...

so I blended my favorite elements from Molly’s animation concept and original design……especially the tattoo and scar #mightynein #CriticalRole #Mollymauk
