I hate this "phones" conversation regarding queer people and queer kids because the bottom line is, cishet society KNOWS. Right-wingers KNOW that the internet is how queer people connect to each other---hell, that marginalized people period use it to organize and educate. That's why they hate it.

OK, but you do know you're eulogizing Charlie Kirk, right? aftermath.site/charlie-kirk...

And who says the internet never has anything good. A bunch of K-Mart cassettes from the late 80s early 90s that were played in the store. Uploaded to the internet archive for your listening pleasure! Who needs Spotify when we have gold like this! archive.org/details/atte...

Over the past month, independent content hosting platform Itch.io has been systematically banning queer & NSFW content. We talked to creators about how this impacted them, and how they’re fighting back. Written by @thefreeradical.org and edited by @davidforbes.bsky.social

"There's no faction in US politics for whom praising Dems is socially advantageous" so like, this is just blatantly untrue. Suckups to the Democrats are literally some of the biggest posters on this site, and they're wildly rewarded for dogshit takes as long as they're pro-Democrat.

🆕🚨 New statutory Relationships and Sex Education guidance published today will: - Restrict schools from using materials that "encourage pupils to question their gender" - Teaches children the laws about "biological sex" - Removes all references to the word transgender What we know so far 🧵

Wrote an incredibly long and personal essay about what it really means to be a trans man in a — er, I don’t know, a transmisandrist world? A world that actually loves trans men and valorizes us constantly? Whatever people are arguing about nowadays? open.substack.com/pub/thetrans...

People have suggested existing music here, but I don't think it quite gets it. What's needed is something with simple enough words, tune, and rhythm that you can start singing it in a bar and five hundred others join them *with tears in their eyes*. For that, we should draw from folk traditions.

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️ Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...

One of my favorite things about Bluesky (or at least my little corner of it) is that people are always sharing resources for taking action. So here's a pinned thread collecting those resources, some made by me and some made by others.

Become an Anarchist or Forever Hold Your Peace crimethinc.com/becomeananar... Neither courts nor laws will suffice to halt the descent into autocracy. Massive numbers of people will have to take direct action on their own initiative, on a decentralized basis—in other words, to become anarchists. 🏴

Study of trans athletes concludes blanket sports bans are a mistake. The lead researcher of a landmark IOC-funded study looking at strength, power & aerobic capacity of trans athletes says “sports federations should consider its findings carefully.” www.outsports.com/2024/4/12/24...

just to repeat: the assisted dying bill passed shortly after the PM accused disabled people of "blighting" society because they claim the benefits to which they are legally entitled.

Have you ever seen or shared an 'oh no' cartoon? Did you know the creator is a queer Welsh artist? Did you know they're being agressively pursued & harassed w/lawsuits from a US organisation trying to steal their intellectual property? Did you know you can donate to cover the horrific legal costs?

After months of research and painstakingly connecting the threads of transmisogyny theory, queer activism, and field-wide epistemic injustice, I would like to present "The Third Sex": my treatise on a third-world transfeminism. Read: tinyurl.com/59kzm98k

Apologies for the screenshot from the other place, but I want to be clear: I will not work with or support reporting from @novaramedia.com in any way going forward while this guy has a significant role with them, and I recommend noone else bothers either.

My strong advice to all cis people is to consider everything you've learned about trans people over the past ten years to likely need revision. Not only is trans theory rapidly evolving, most previously accepted stuff is influenced by transmisogynistic academic work only recently being challenged.

transmisogyny is so deeply rooted in patriarchy that the word "bad" itself is derived from a transphobic slur

THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION. Censorship affects all of us, and if Project 2025 gets its way, the entire trans publishing industry is at a significant risk of criminalization. In this article, I lay out the problem and the stakes, and suggest a broad action plan with dozens of potential response ✊
