This is not born of concern for women. It is pure unadulterated hatred of trans women and men. May he rot in hell.

hate to say i told you so share.google/4FfpeWYJ8kEF...

Call me a naive democratic idealist if you will, but I don’t much like the history of Britain being written by tiny coalitions of political insiders, squillionaires and media outlets agreeing their strategy together offscreen in such tight, consensual secrecy that it is literally a criminal offence.

"There is an aperture in my hand, a thumb-print whirl where tissue once flowed uninterrupted—" We are obsessed with this wonderfully weird @mizukiyamagen.bsky.social story. A manifesting of grief that you won't soon forget. A wound that's more than a wound. Do NOT miss "The Hand's Aperture"! 🐌

A person who believes, as she did, that things fit: that there is a whole of which one is a part, and that in being a part one is whole: such a person has no desire whatever, at any time, to play God. Only those who have denied their being yearn to play at it.

Today, we argue that the conversational style of AI, specifically its impartial affirmations and polished tone, fosters inflated perceptions of intelligence.

Universal Basic Income doesn’t make people stop working. It makes people stop panicking. Panicking about rent. Panicking about bills. Panicking about choosing between medicine and food. Imagine what America could build if survival wasn’t our full-time job. #UBI

There's a Medicare telehealth cliff at the end of this month that will impact other health insurance plans beyond just Medicare. This post ⤵️ will walk you through how to effectively advocate for telehealth in ways that actually influence the outcome... www.patreon.com/posts/139596...

We had a UBI pilot, a free college pilot (freeze on loan payments), and a universal healthcare pilot (continuous Medicaid enrollment). Democrats could have locked this all in.

I genuinely cannot emphasize this enough. Law enforcement manufacturing evidence and testilying isn't novel to the Trump administration. It's not even more common. They're just worse at it so they're more easily caught doing it.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Truly impressive number of birds migrating tonight. More than 800 MILLION birds up in the air right now❗ #BirdMigration

Without venturing into conspiracy theories or speculation, it's worth bearing in mind that the federal government and its agencies are now controlled by people who have not shown the slightest compunction about brazenly lying in order to promote whatever version of reality is politically expedient.

9/ I had launch with Paulina Borsook last month in Oakland. Her life is hard, but she still has a lot to say! She's trying to raise funds to get a new version of the book reissued on the Internet Archive. Some of her friends have a running GoFundMe to support her: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

The Trump Administration is making it crystal clear that it does not want trans people to *exist* This is *yet another* reminder that the Democratic nominee for the 2028 presidential election cannot be someone who is willing to throw trans people under the bus

Amali is one in demand little nanny. So much so, Sulwe and Zigi got into a full-on head barging brawl over who got to be closest to her! In the end, it was the slightly bigger Sulwe who emerged victorious. Amali means ‘hope’ in Swahili — and she is certainly a symbol of hope: swt.bio/amali

Vigilantes lynching and murdering poc in police custody was a core part of Jim Crow, this form of terror is old in Texas

I have vaccinated the babies that were in the icebox

🧵 🙏💔Hi lovelies, I don't know if you've seen my posts about Roma charity Dihk he na Bister and the amazing work they do for Roma Youth around the Roma Holocaust memorial? One of their amazing team - Safet Dimiri - has had a terrible accident... 1/2

'Socialism' for the elites, capitalism and authoritarianism for everyone else.

Very helpful episode for anyone in the US and beyond to meet this moment. We are stronger than we often think we are. pca.st/episode/be64...

Oh no I stayed up late enough to start seeing posts about Keir Starmer

I just found out that Jimmy Kimmel has actors’ union people who are just short of benefits availability on his show to deliver one line so they can get their union benefits. That’s a good guy.

half-remembering that thing about how most Roman citizens experienced the fall of Rome as simply one day their local bridge went out and nobody came around to repair it

Health Canada put out an alert regarding acetaminophen in pregnancy… reassuring pregnant people that it’s safe and that untreated fever can harm a developing fetus. Feel free to save the link to send to anyone who’s scared after Trump’s ridiculous autism announcement:

#OtD 24 Sep 1994 residents of Dublin, Ireland who had been opposing new council water charges formed an all-city federation of groups. A widespread campaign of non-payment eventually defeated the charges stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9702...

The "playbook" is the same one the institutionally-transphobic New York Times has used for the past 10 years to demonize and dehumanize trans people and their healthcare. Fuck the New York Times.

It literally means to submit.

Here’s a bit of trivia: If you remember the shoddy HHS report on Gender Dysphoria from back in May, that was actually co-authored by War On Science contributor Alex Byrne.

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Miami Herald: Two-Thirds of Immigrants Held at “Alligator Alcatraz” in July Have Disappeared

Bacially almost all the major black and white characters were born out of homages to minstrelsy. I talk about this in my Character Design classes actually

One last thing because this is extremely important due to the darkest of ironies. Felix the Cat is the one of the few classic chars NOT based on minstrelsy. Note the lack of gloves. Felix the Cat was actually a expy/pastiche of George Herriman's Krazy Cat! And this is extremely important because-

Call your senators and your house rep. Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go. Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

PLEASE TRY AGAIN IN 15 MINUTES This is an odd coincidence. Whenever conservatives get together in large numbers, Grindr appears to suffer outages, which were particularly acute during Charlie Kirk's memorial service in Arizona.

If you see this qrp your art with the moon in it! (I've had a bit of 'a thing' lately about putting moon phases into my border designs! 😂) #illustration

My mum used to have this model in this colour. We both miss it.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Bothers me when people discuss Left movements in the U.S. w/out underscoring the GENERATIONS of repression, surveillance, violence directed at movements. The "Left" is so disorganized is used as a joke but I hardly ever see those same people saying 'THE LEFT WAS TARGETED & DISORGANIZED by the STATE'

This. You can't make this 💩 up

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January. He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement. His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵

This isn’t the first time Steve Martin and Martin Short have had to cancel tours due to Covid. What’s sad is it is both predictable and preventable. They could wear respirators. Use air purifiers and far UV. They could set the example for their fans and help reduce chains of transmission.

Wolves and ravens share a fascinating bond! Ravens often follow wolf packs, leading them to prey or scavenging from wolf kills. In return, wolves benefit from ravens’ sharp eyesight and early warnings of danger.
