Over on twitter, Harry Turtledove once reposted this it's cool that a writer whose books I've been reading since I was a teen supports trans people

I want to sob and rage at how real this is.

What the fuck is "high risk missionary work"? Especially when it's supposedly "high risk" enough to require that you kill multiple people.

As we're starting #PrideMonth, here's a great way to support queer community: Give to the @queerliblib.bsky.social. They provide online library services full of everything from queer theory to fluffy queer romances. givebutter.com/qqlls-pride-...

No, no, this should absolutely restore CBS's journalistic credibility, right?

#JaredLeto's rock band wants you to give them a face and retinal scan to make sure you're human when you're buying their tickets. The tech, of course, comes from Sam Altman. stereogum.com/2500596/thir...

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves

We should give up all pretense and acknowledge that in this case, Cenk is using "Israel" as shorthand for "The Jews." #antisemitism #tankies

I'm fine with building a cage-fighting arena on the White House grounds, as long as its purpose is for the President to fight other world leaders one-on-one instead of having wars. Not to the death, of course. Just nude wrestling in giant vats of pudding, as befits the dignity of the presidency.

Has your company hired Black people, disabled people, women, trans folk, or anyone that isn't a straight, white cis guy? The Department of Labor encourages you to rat them out. #Racism #WhiteSupremacy www.them.us/story/depart...

Yes, #AntiZionism is not #Antisemitism. BUT. It can be used as a cloak for antisemitism, even by supposed progressives. The best way to avoid the latter is to learn what antisemitism is and has been historically. Start by avoiding putting horns on Jewish figures.

And there you have it. The anti trans campaign in Maine was never some "grassroots movement." It was bankrolled by billionaire Richard Uihlein, who poured over $800,000 into targeting trans kids over sports and bathrooms.

a bunch of you also have a list of things that you've decided Definitionally Aren't Antisemitism that are in fact somewhere *between* "destruction of the state of Israel" and "criticism of the state of Israel," and you're just wrong about where those lines are.

I think a lot of you are becoming antisemitic while thinking you're really deftly dodging the risk of becoming antisemitic and it's not a good look and it's possible more dangerous than the overt antisemitism because it's going to be more accepted among people who aren't ready to go mask off

Tell me that @stanzipotenza.bsky.social's wedding wouldn't make a great #CallofCthulhu scenario. But I want her to run it. #TTRPG www.instagram.com/p/DYd4j1spCU2/

Legacy Jewish orgs continue to scold folks for criticizing a craven Netanyahu government. At the same time, they have remained silent as the US government pardoned actual Nazis. Which has paved the way for them to claim “damages.” Is this the biggest failure of a Jewish community in history?

I unfortunately know absolutely NOBODY who could help with this, and that just makes me angrier. In part because I know that there's probably 1,000 other people who are getting steamrolled by fucking Meta in a very similar way. #FuckMeta www.instagram.com/p/DYp_Ot1Pp__/

There is no better argument for having a union than getting letters like this from management. Here's hoping the WOTC staff go through with it and get their union. From here, their bosses don't look trustworthy. kotaku.com/wizards-of-t...

Once again, it took me a moment to realize that this was the Onion, and therefore #satire.

"A tribute to Michael Whelan" ...who has told you unequivocally to stop using his name in prompts. 🙄😮‍💨

Black folks are bearing the burden of Trump's affordability crisis & reckless economic policy. Folks like Theresa, whose job in a MA-07 hospital was eliminated by Trump's funding cuts. We must fight to make the economy work for Black communities—and in doing so, for everyone.

I am not remotely a lawyer, but I think if you agree to review a manuscript for a press and then feed that manuscript into AI without the permission of the author, the author should be allowed to sue you into poverty.

@drstaceypatton.bsky.social's piece on the IRS settlement with #DonaldTrump is extremely satisfying and 100% true: No more of this bullshit about how we can't fund healthcare, protections for the poor, elderly, etc. drstaceypatton1865.substack.com/p/listen-if-...

It's probably perfectly appropriate to my personality that my current favorite source of wholesome smut is a subreddit called Coffee Gone Wild — where people post nude pics of themselves with coffee. Considering how much coffee I drink, this is made for me. www.reddit.com/r/CoffeeGone...

Americans: I cannot believe that anyone would violate the sanctity of this hallowed memorial to our fallen ancestors. Hawaiians: Now that you mention it, we have some sacred ground to protect... Americans: Ooh, sorry, no can do... that's where Zuck's putting the yacht garage.

I'd like to point out that based on his objections to this standard, James Miller, who has a PhD in economics and is a full professor, would we unqualified to edit a Wikipedia article. How would he handle those [citation needed] tags?

I learned to cite sources in high school. I'm practically compulsive about it to these days. How the fuck did any of these people get through undergrad school?

"Do you really want a vampiress to enthrall you, or are you just a neurodivergent person so burnt out from life that not having to think or make decisions for a little bit sounds like a vacation?" ". . . Two things can be true at once!"

my firm take is that any man loudly worried about fertility rates is a fucking creep

In order to keep as much of my sanity as possible, today's starting with the new Brooklyn Funk Essentials album, Black Butterfly. So far, it's a decent kind of rescue rope, including a cover of "Life During Wartime, one of my favorite songs. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

The latest revamp of SNAP (called CalFresh in California) benefits guidelines is set to take effect on June 1, leaving roughly 737,000 people who will now have a harder time putting food on the table. CalFresh is facing the largest funding cut in California in the program’s history.

My Caretaker burnout is cranked up to fucking 11. Woke up this morning and had to replace my partner's colostomy bag first thing, before coffee. Shit all over the place, had to wipe her down and help her to the shower.

#NowPlaying: @gshowitt.bsky.social 's "Eat the Reich" playlist for some antifascist mood music. (Even the instrumental stuff.) Someday I want to make a modern-day scenario for this game. #TTRPG open.spotify.com/playlist/3sq...

The wealthy are doing more to piss the country off than any socialist manifesto ever could. It's almost like they're organizing FOR us.

We are failing every marginalized group and that’s most of us.

I think an uncomfortable truth we have to sit with that Biden's CDC had the same rhetoric. Obviously, what RFK Jr says here is horrible but pervelance of eugenics is a both party problem.

I gotta admit, I don't think I have that much hate in my body. But I'm willing to try.

More big, beautiful bellies in latex, please.

Vallejo has made the most colossal fuckup by putting an AI mural up. Originally intended to be just a sample placeholder, it somehow wound up being put up as a "finished" art piece. Thanks to @coyotemedia.org www.coyotemedia.org/how-did-an-a...

The Star Wars TTRPGs have overall been a net negative for Star Wars as a setting. At its heart Star Wars is a fantasy setting, the TTRPGs set out to define the limits of the world and neatly classify things. Star Wars is best as a setting where anything is possible so long as it fits the vibe.

Saying this now, just in case - - New Yorkers hated Giuliani on 9/10, couldn't wait to get rid of him - Giuliani was in the street on 9/11 bc the Command Center at 7WTC was destroyed (he put it there to be near Judi Nathan) - Giuliani killed 343 firemen by forcing cheap radios on them

BREAKING: Activists have shut down multiple intersections throughout downtown Washington DC in opposition to Trump's attacks on workers, DC Home Rule, climate, and international peace. The actions kick off #MayDay events across the country.

This is only surprising to me because the piece I read about him gave off major homosocial/possibly ace vibes, but “doesn’t like sex just likes abusing women” definitely tracks with his American Psycho vibe

Yes please don't forget y'all, it may not be in headlines, but DC is still occupied by federal forces. They're all around us patrolling. They haven't left, they've become normalized. And before you accuse us of being lazy chumps, we're resisting constantly.

Why does the internet have so many assholes who just want to fuck up other people's good times? Sorry to hear about this, Jeph.

What I love about my people is that I don’t sense that hopelessness & fear are our general vibe with the severe antiblackness we face under this administration. We meet the oppression with resolve in our hearts. We never forget a second surrender our humanity.
