"That’s the worst part. The hate infected me. I am now petty, and cruel, and voracious for their suffering. I have no kindness to offer them, no forgiveness to extend, no love, and I still believe everyone deserves love. So I am a hypocrite." assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

england and france in the third place match… we call that the 20th century

Huh didn’t realize being made to take hormones based on a blood test, you never would have needed to know levels from, against your will is gender affirming care now. Maybe they were right about WPATH being bad because that sounds absolutely horrible!

You are using @bsky.app. I am using @mu.social and @eurosky.social. We are not the same.

Wait, do people think there’s more sunlight in summer because of DST?

They should teach High Fidelity in gender studies classes

Live your life so that when you die, those who knew you and those who didn't wish for your memory be for a blessing.

I never know what people mean by “on the left” on this site. If you mean anyone to the right of Mamdani, we probably have different definitions of left

I don't take any "Left" political candidates seriously who don't have an actual Public Libraries platform developed. There is no "Left" project in the U.S. that doesn't take public libraries seriously which means FUNDING them.

Sorry sorry I'm trying to delete

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

I actually don’t care what the founding fathers would say about the present and I don’t think you should either

As is tradition by now every year

psa for cis folks: every single "legitimate concern" about trans people (bathrooms, sports, blockers, etc) is a made up astroturf by the far right. if you buy into any of it, you are an utter chump and a useful idiot for racist pedophiles

so many friends are sad that there is just no place for their talents anymore. writers with nowhere to publish. phds with nowehre to teach. authors with no one to review their books. it's so sad—you work you whole life, then there's nowhere for your talent. what a waste!

The Supreme Court thinks that corporations are people and trans women aren’t

Transness is eternal. There will be happy, fulfilled trans people that exist long after each and every one of these fuckers has long since passed. We will fight like hell for each and every one of our living and we will proceed in spiteful joy because unlike them we are building the future.

Fuck every single Democrat that has ever been willing to compromise on trans dignity, rights and humanity. I hope you assholes are pleased with yourselves. I don’t know if you could’ve prevented this moment, but you should’ve been fighting every step of the way.

I think the ban on gender marker changes for passports, trans people in the military, and a number of other Trump admin policies survive under the test they just set out under the 14th amendment. I believe protections for trans people under this constitution are effectively dead for a generation.

if you're trans, you have to live. one day you can live to see these guys all die.

Abolish the Supreme Court

The myth underlying this is that trans people (trans women specifically) were ever "invisible." We were objects of fascination, scorn, mockery, and fetishizing long before 2014 (for about the entire history of mass media really). What really broke a lot of brains was the idea we deserved dignity

Working on editing @sybillamb.bsky.social's book and she just had a character describe themself as a "Dark Satanic Milf"

folks when we find a guy who's saying a bunch of dumbass shit can we get back to blocking them instead of screenshotting them and talking about their dumbass shit? these losers are not worth our time & when we let them waste it we insult the revolution

every time I say this, someone didn't know: you can get the NYRB, the New Yorker, the LRB, Paris Review, The Spectator (weirdly not New Statesman), The Week, both French & Italian Vogue & New Scientist among many many other magazines FREE via the Libby app from your local library?

This is such a great piece.

"I need the mayor to put his money where his mouth is," said activist Ceyenne Doroshow, the founder of GLITS, a Black-led trans advocacy organization. "I have faith in him getting this done. But I need him to do it." hellgatenyc.com/mamdani-prom...

Y'all, I'm starting to think social media was a mistake

A 12-year old told me I did well on #jeopardy, but they like @jeopardamy.bsky.social better

What do the originalists on the Supreme Court think the framers of the 14th and 15th Amendments meant?

Embrace the ancient wisdom.

I can't believe I got to go on Jeopardy! despite my nose ring

The main reason to hope for a Woodworking adaptation, as always, is so that I can meet the 22-year-old trans girl who plays Abigail and try to be best friends with her, thus proving I don't understand my own book.

Economics can either enable the slide toward fascism, or defend affordability, dignity, and democracy. I wrote ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS with my baby by my side—a constant reminder that the future should be livable for all. Out in October with Random House.

@thedennemichele.bsky.social my transfem book club here in Atlanta read "When the Harvest Comes" and I just wanted to say we all loved it and it generated some great discussion. Thank you!

apparently my spontaneous "I have no ties to jeffrey epstein" statement to the press is raising a lot of questions already answered by my statement

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft
