Hell yeah. I might just skip ahead in my rewatch straight to Flux just for Thasmin content because of this

NYT could NEVER

"Bluesky is dying! How will I ever make lots of mon-- I mean reach more people without that huge base!" Girl, I have 25k followers and 9.5m interactions on a website people think died in 2018. The size of the sites population doesn't matter if the content meets what they want.

“I don’t want to give the Epstein class an excuse to fondle kids genitals.” Seems like a good line.

Well now that's just a nice lil perfect square, isn't it? Ha ha we joke to keep from collapsing into a pile of despair.

They cared a lot about what Europe was supposedly doing when it came to trans people in Skrmetti.

Goo Punch (1994-1994): A promotional drink from youth basketball superstar, Milton "Goo" Berry. Probably delicious. This Goo Punch goes with any snack, so get back, Shaq, cuz it's a Goo attack.

Ha ha ha nope but the liberals on the Supreme Court did legalize conversion torture for trans people so I guess that's a statement ha ha ha wow

this is just amber heard shit again i'm so tired of misogyny dawg

In reality, the medical field is extremely conservative. Every medical body recommends thorough assessment for minors and practitioners have moved slowly and carefully as they gather evidence on this emerging field.

What's really going on here is twofold. First, the anti-trans "reporters" on this issue do not know their own beat. As I've said before, the anti-trans argument is a conspiracy theory. It posits that the medical field is handing out surgeries to kids at the slightest hint of gender nonconformity.

People keep trying to pigeon-hole Andy Beshear as a red-state moderate, but he's more pro-trans than the leader of what is seen as the furtherest left state. This is how Democrats need to be talking about trans issues, not accepting Republican-bigot framing of the issue and concede ground to them.

Some thoughts on the Baseball Netflix Scorebug

Happy Opening Day to all who celebrate (Yes I know it was technically yesterday, but it's best we forget that awful game)

The last good moment before everything fell apart is almost 10 years old

I've been having to go to work at 6 am recently, and I've found music too distracting so I usually listen to an Hbomb or the RLM star trek videos while I drive. Anyway, I think youtube's algorithm has figured that out and not just gives those to me on the homepage

Started/going

Weird to see my daily use 3ds in pristine condition, mine is... Not that pretty, but I've still got the pictures of the day I bought it 10 years ago

and the fact that these convos are happening alongside the normalization of terms like “zio” and the idea of a “zionist-occupied government”…

Please 🙏 I've been having trouble accessing in my new state very funny it was much easier for me to get hormones in Texas) Also if anyone has resources to help someone in Connecticut who has been on HRT for almost 6 years, please let me know!!

Here's what hundreds of anti trans bills being passed over a few years looks like.

I think Talarico is a good candidate, but we get this exact headline every 2 years that a Democrat is leading by 1-2 points in Texas, and then the Democrat loses by 10 in November. I had been so hopeful about Texas for so long, but I just don't think it's moving. I left for a reason.

we must protect pittsburgh trauma medical center charge nurse Dana Evans at all costs

Why, after years of scrutiny, isn’t there any evidence that large numbers of children were given irreversible treatments without assessment? “The journals are corrupt! And the doctors are corrupt! And the debate was suppressed! And the data is coming out any time now!” Like listen to yourselves

The key is that you want data to lead the strategy, rather than a dogmatic commitment to ideological and strategic centrism. For example, I find Matt’s implication that Dems would do better if they adopted Obama’s 2008 position on same sex marriage dubious www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data-over-...

ICE has killed someone new.

I read this, and it felt like the platonic ideal of a 2026 Washington Post opinion column: a knee-jerk defense of civil discrimination, smugly dressed in its Sunday best

Of course the conclusion was gonna be humans doing the same jobs for even less money

Jews are targeted in shuls & online. Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps. Muslims are openly targeted by politicians. Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI. Trans & queer people are being outlawed. We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.

Beautiful statement from Ayman Odeh, Palestinian MK and head of Hadash-Taal. For those who do not read Hebrew, I will translate:

I found my old yearbook while cleaning and had a little bit of a jumpscare. I'm pretty sure @vornietom.bsky.social was not attending a Texas high school in 2008.

Unreleased Sufjan Stevens record

if you’re a cis person about to heckle a trans woman on this site just like maybe give us today as a free one

as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

Feels so bizarre to be outside while it's 65 degrees, but there's still snow on the ground.

happy international women's day

Shout out to the new Muppet Show for getting me to give in and start listening to Sabrina Carpenter, I've been a little obsessed

The leader of the protest was pardoned J6er Jake Lang.

I'm out of words here

An amazing piece that exposes the deeply anti-feminist foundation of the right wing’s war on trans ppl, explains why this radical agenda allows misogyny and predation to flourish, and reveals its profound threat to everyone’s equal protection under the law

ian huntley is dead. i'll always remember how the british press attempted to incite hatred against the trans community by reporting he was transitioning, then apologised to him for incorrect reporting instead of apologising to trans people

🕳️

Sometimes one can only look at a post and marvel.

I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody. This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration. This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.

The story has been picked up by mainstream press. Great work by @transactualuk.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

For those who don't know, Tillis LOVES Dogs. He holds a "Bipawtisan" parade every year for dogs during Halloween and even dressed up his dog as Kyrsten Sinema one year for Halloween. He hosted a Mardi Gras dog parade last month. #NCPol #NCSen
