so, this is deeply, deeply horrifying thedreydossier.substack.com/p/i-found-a-...

Gonna be a banger of a concert! 😂

A friend of mine tried to attend a drag show another friend of ours was participating in tonight and was turned away by the bar owner because her ID is expired. She doesn't drink and rarely goes to bars except for these kinds of events, and she's been to this bar before for drag events.

Dems are truly pathetic. Time and time again the GOP accuse them of some outlandish bullshit they trip over themselves to prove that they aren't whatever the insult du jour is instead of going, "Oh, you're serious? That's crazy. Anyway, moving on to actual issues people care about."

“Do not put your trust in Christians; they are but men, they have no power to affirm. As soon as the breath leaves their bodies, Democrats go back to the donors they belong to; with that, all their designs will come to nothing.” with apologies to the psalmist

Deeply ugly rhetoric. Democrats are completely unable to resist pivoting directly into eugenicism when trans people are involved.

TRAGIC: the worst people you know have also confused the performance of masculinity for their desperately imagined gender euphoria.

Santiago Campos: “As corporate elites take hold over the pipes through which our information flows, journalism that serves people becomes harder to come by. So, if you hesitate to utter the word genocide or remain silent in the face of lies, ask yourself, Who is this for? I hope you choose us.”

Colonoscopy went smoothly (and everything's looking good) and now I am full of a Cava honey harissa chicken pita and a Dewey's cupcake 😊

Silly dyke feminist bias, perhaps, but the veneration of True Red-Blooded Nationalist God-Fearing Patriarchal Patriotic Paternalistic Manhood is, bluntly, a fucking rot at the very heart of our broken, blighted society.

the cool thing about transitioning is having hope and the scary thing about transitioning is having hope

Oh my goooood I checked in TWENTY MINUTES EARLY for my colonoscopy, and it's now almost THIRTY MINUTES PAST the scheduled start time. Please, I haven't eaten in nearly 40 hours.

I broke my computer screen yesterday, leaving it unusable to do my design work efficiently. I need to replace this monitor as soon as possible. If you’re able to help me purchase a new monitor, I’ve added a fund on my Throne Wishlist. throne.com/pronouncedst...

I'm not even hungry yet but god I want some toast so bad. And coffee with half and half.

Finally, a clear repudiation of the brain-dead “it’s just a tool” argument that gets floated cynically about every new technology:

zoned out for a bit thinking about bottom surgery, and now it's almost 10pm

The papal encyclical released today is a more coherent defense of humanity in the AI era than you'll see elsewhere and well worth a read. www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

'He's tiny! It's blue!' Charles Darwin Foundation scientists discover a new species of octopus nearly 1,800 metres (5,900 feet) down on the ocean floor near the Galapagos Islands. No bigger than a golf ball, the blue octopus has stubby little arms with only one row of suckers u.afp.com/SRvN

Not to praise Old Navy, but these companies that supposedly cater to thick-thighed fat-assed men got nothing ON for swim trunks. (That's because they don't actually cater to fat men, surprise.)

"Cis folks: We need to do better" Taken at London Trans+ Pride 2024

like, in the past 5 years the average person's understanding of trans people went from "so and so got a sex change" to "sex is an immutable and unalterable force of the universe, but some people like to play pretend" And like... its such weird magical thinking that even "allies" got on board with

every time someone spells y'all as "ya'll" i manifest as a demon in their dreams and shove needles under their toenails

Seeing more and more videos of people spiraling bc they “feel fat” or someone implied they might be, and that’s SO HURTFUL. It’s okay. Being fat is okay. It doesn’t mean you’re ugly or slobbish or lazy or unhealthy. It just means you’re fat, like so many humans before you.

One more task for today: call your senators about HR 2616 The "Don't Say Trans" bill literally states it's "defending women from gender ideology." Cis women, I am deputizing you especially. Please make several phone calls to tell them to knock it the fuck off.

the thing about GLP-1 discourse is that it's a way to have fatness discourse without saying you're having fatness discourse, and the thing about fatness discourse is that a lot of people still really really want to be mean to fat people

Because to me, fantasy isn’t wishful thinking, but a way of reflecting, and reflecting on reality.

Over time I've found it to be one of the central contradictions of white conservatives. They want to be able to consume all the cultural outputs of the communities (POC, LGBTQ, etc etc) which create mass popular culture, but also rid themselves of and subjugate those communities in the process.

Honoring an anti-trans activist on the same day Democrats helped pass a national Don't Say Trans bill is just so fucking on the nose.

excuse me he was the running back and team captain but the point stands. boys be playing football. we love when boys give themselves permanent brain damage but god forbid that trans boy not exist for you to breed! least fascist country

"kids can't transition it's dangerous they don't understand!!!!!" okay bitch when I was in school the high school quarterback literally died during a football game and he is not the first or the last student athlete who died like that. weird how you don't advocate to stop that

my sister told me that there was a trans guy in the ladies' changing room at the gym and that he was bearded and she felt weird and uncomfortable and wasn't sure how she was supposed to feel and full offence my good bitch where tf is he SUPPOSED TO GO

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm getting more nervous about my colon-/endoscopies as they approach. Symptoms point to possibly celiac or IBS, but of course there are always other worse possibilities that my brain is starting to freak out about.

As trans genocide progresses, more and more trans people will be forced out of formal economies and into survival sex work. You cannot support trans liberation without also supporting sex workers.

it's easy to attack trans kids bc children are one of the most socially acceptable groups to treat like inanimate objects that exist for your whims

1. 1100 words is only very long if you’re an amoeba. 2. Asking an LLM a question is not a skill. 3. One dead teen is actually too many unless you are a sociopath. 4. You’re welcome.

everything is thirty dollars now

it seems to me that in general there’s a big problem where people (including those who are neurodivergent themselves) are way too ready to condemn and cut others off for things like being emotionally volatile or asking for a lot from others/still struggling to master some “basic” social skills

bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy, fruit, coffee, coffee

Breakfast take: I don't like toppings on pancakes. I like things IN pancakes, but not on top of them. The tops of pancakes are reserved for butter and syrup. I'm more of a waffle guy anyway (toppings okay because POCKETS) but when I go for pancakes, I don't want toppings rolling off the sides.

Return to Snowy River (I'm not saying it wasn't a fun time, I'm just saying that the first one was perfect, and there was no point in making a sequel without Kirk Douglas)

Fwiw, I think this is why a pivot into cultural and mutual aid work is probably the right move for trans folk. We do not have the capacity to counter this at the institutional level. We tried, we lost. We defeat trans genocide by keeping trans culture and possibility and people alive.

the services sought for detransition are quite literally the same ones sought for transition. detransitioners work in tandem with us on advocacy. there aren't enough people to keep a detransition-only clinic busy. this should clue you in that this clinic will not be used for consenting detransition

There are multiple Souths. Please for the love of God if you are gonna talk about the South (I would actually just prefer you not) maybe learn a thing or two about it. Liberalism must be one hell of a drug because it seems to make folks hallucinate entirely different worlds from the ones that exist.

Every single person on Reddit has the media literacy of a wad of chewing gum and I worry that maybe every single person under 30 has the media literacy of a wad of chewing gum.
