This, and no other reason, is going to be why, in 2028, we are going to see weaksauce corporate dems who have no popular appeal become the presidential candidate. Not bc of any vote count. If Newsom is the candidate, it's only bc of this. Representative governance on a federal level is extinct.

America is a country that will test UBI hundreds of times, get the same radically positive results each time, and still look at it askance, but will also put untested robotaxis on the road because a billionaire threw a shit fit.

One of my OCs is an atheist superhero. Her central moral axiom is that life is short & we should do good to others now because there's no other time in eternity we will have the chance to do so. Decrease the suffering of others, whose lives are also short, not for a reward but bc it is kind.

BUY LILITH A SECOND ANIMATOR WE'RE SO CLOSE

the pope: *has 'historic' lunch with trans people* his catholic church:

Pick one lol

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Let The Right One In

Easy. Because he serves the interests of wealth and the donor class. Because they don't care that he persecutes the disenfranchised, he does it *nicely* and *politely*. Because the dems have literally not pushed anyone else forward.

events like those at Oklahoma University are not random

World AIDS Day reminds me that it's important to stick around despite everything, especially when the government wishes you were dead or in the closet. Even a fail queer adult is better than a dead one.

Fuck im so broke and I got Xmas coming up, just give her some money

I know this is killing the joke but this is probably why Boomers think being transgender is as simple as just changing your pronouns.

When people proclaim "God Bless America" I have often wondered "why?" Why is America special? What have we done to earn divine intervention? It can't be bc of anything we are doing. It's no different than any other country. Or if it is, then its worse than most. We've done nothing to deserve it.

LISTEN UP GODDAMMIT i feel like y'all don't really understand the severity and urgency of the situation. i shouldn't even be online rn. i can't go home and i don't have the funds to stay safe while i figure out what to do please get this in front of as many ppl as possible okay? thank you 🙏

I don't want young people giving up, but when nobody has any druthers to even remotely begin to solve any of those problems, what is their alternative? YOUNG ADULTS TODAY DO NOT REMEMBER THE NINETIES, WHICH IS ALL THE REST OF US ARE HOLDING ON TO. We're not getting them back, guys. We need CHANGE.

They're gonna get yelled at for it, but what the fuck are they doing wrong? They're being told there won't be space for them in the tomorrow. So why are they exerting effort for a future that won't exist. There are now problems we aren't addressing and they see it pretty clearly.

"Americans can't handle death" is one of the simplest, most evident but profound actual truths of our nation. Death is a bad thing, and engraved in our nat'l mythology are the words 'bad things don't happen to us'. As such, we cannot reconcile the core truth of existence.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

This is one of the most important messages we can uplift today. GOP fascists are weaponizing disease to destroy minority population in obedience to Xtian Nationalists

My favorite part is where she states that humans' lives and bodies do not belong to them, and i'm sitting here like "oh so you don't believe in free will" and jfc i know she has no idea what that even means in a theological context.

One thing Gwen understands more than most about the Texas and Oklahoma crack down on trans people existing in the university is that this is part of a broader movement by TPUSA and astroturf right wing groups to push society to make having a job while being openly trans impossible again.

ANYWAY Buy from small businesses Buy from independent creators Buy passion projects Buy commissions Buy art In a society that's decided that money is final word, be aware of where yours goes and to support what Yes it sucks, I don't like it either, but pretending it's not a thing does not help!

The AO3 machines are already going overtime. They do not stop, not even for the holiday.

Not a drag queen or a trans person

Hes always been arguing this since he was a teenager. Aint no "now". He's been a proud, outspoken, *documented* fascist for decades. He just feels safe and empowered to speak directly to mainstream America in order to poison them against minorities.

poem that my dear friend @arcanumb.bsky.social wrote & published this week ❤️‍🔥🏳️‍⚧️

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

If you want to see how quickly everyone goes into manufacturing consent mode, compare the full-court press tonight to the response to any of the people ICE has shot in the last few months, some of whom died.

Ah that moment you have to block a cis gay guy because he's telling you 'what the transgenders are doing wrong thats putting us all in danger' Dude, I'm not hiding out so your life is easier

Who else agrees? Repost if you do

At a certain point people need to recognize that denazification needs to happen on both sides of the pond.

This ad has been bothering me A LOT and now I realize why.

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

I earned this.

This is also why genitally-obsessed bigots developed a whole media handbook with convoluted phrases to demean and dehumanize trans people to hand out to corporate journalists. If the press calls trans people slurs, it gives permission for everyone.

Todd Klein, ladies and gentlemen.

In conversation, my gf asked me to explain to her what the difference is between a "praise kink" and desiring recognition. I answered a praise kink was just accepting hyperbolic adulation w/o having endured hardship or trial, nor offered anything of equivalent value for the praise.

Reading 'Bluebeard's Bride' (Magpie Games) for the first time, researching structure for a game I want to build. I knew its reputation for emotional brutality in play but did not expect the text itself to have such a venomous, vicious voice to it. I'm humbled by the mastery of language here.

hrt that makes you gay for swords
