i hate this so much

As the mom of a transmasc kid seeing my favorite (sorry everyone else but its true) Transfemme author introducing a transmasc character is priceless. There is genuinely not enough representation here. Also this girl needs to stop making me cry.

it did not come up in the text of Full Bloom but Len, the bartender at Tempest Brewing that the girls meet early in the book, is the series’ first transmasc character and I do plan to bring him back

The Scouring of the Shire and the death of Saruman is all pretty wild, but imagine being Samwise Gamgee and having to explain to your normal wife that spiders the size of Chevy Impalas are real and you fought and defeated one.

About the same tbh

"Hail victory," huh? I wonder what that sounds like in German...

I could be mistaken but my understanding is that they're already busy having a civil war over at Heritage and dealing with all kinds of internal sex pest fallout

Tbh, having had a charismatic christianity phase for a few years, they're probably completely fine with it. They don't want communism anywhere, and I just don't see them caring enough about Greenland to have any energy for stopping it.

I'm kind of astounded the 7 Mountains people aren't pushing back because they don't have Venezuela or Greenland on their agendas and that's half the people in his coalition and those things are just going to lose everything they have gained.

This is a SLAPP suit. I listened to the audio book this past week and there's nothing in there that's defamatory. Calling Taibbi "owned" is protected opinion. He's also a public figure so this would not come anywhere close to actual malice. Taibbi is just a spoiled man baby throwing a tantrum.

Beyond parody.

The Republican party is responsible for this. They may as well have put a gun to the heads of these women and pulled the trigger.

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.” (Published July 2025)

Pinterest is my guilty pleasure, I like looking at DIY projects over there. And increasingly I only look at the old stuff I've already saved, because I'm tired of digging through slop in the feed. It's not just annoying, it's distracting and disconcerting.

Guys, I know the situation is bad with Trump leading us into WW3, but the alternative was a functioning economy, equal rights, and Medicaid for all.

I have given y’all a lot of Feelings related to Claire and I plan to do the same with everybody on the cast eventually this outing will do that for a couple of favorites 👀

the new story is going to be very sweet and emotional and gay which I guess is just like a thing I always do but y’know I’m remaining on brand

“just one more trans woman needs to be mulched and we’ll totally defeat fascism guys. just one more i promise. we just need one more sacrifice.”

Goals

Absolutely adorable

i bet being the murder victim on a TV show is really fun, you get to show up for one scene and go, "Why yes, I remember you, I saw you at the marina...but where's that...young lady you were with" then pretend to get clubbed in the head

The last Oil War we started I was hanging in my drummers garage practicing this song as we poured into the driveway and turned the amps up too loud. I dont like history rhyming.

BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped. The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

In a just country, you'd own his mansion by the time all was over and done with. "People like you", "You people", etc are peak "ignorant fuck".

Oh, I’m well aware. Worth noting that the trans panic defense is still legal in most US states.

The coordinated campaign to dehumanize trans people, including media outlets like CBS, the New York Times, the Guardian, BBC, led to trans people not being protected from discrimination anymore. It’s a matter of time before the trans panic murder defense is back. jakethelawyer.org/2025/06/19/s...

Tbqh I have filed enough ethics complaints against judges with nothing happening that I don't bother anymore.

Actual exchange from court today: Me: I can't do January 20 for the hearing, your honor, because I'm having surgery, but I can do [dates in February] Judge: Ordinarily I'd accommodate medical issues, but not for people like you. Attend from the hospital if you have to.

The only "C" Trump has ever parted is a child's legs.

Although I am very disappointed in myself for thinking there would be a stronger response from the Democrats. That was really dumb of me.

People harassed Lia Smith's parents after she completed suicide. The level of hate and dehumanization of trans people is obscene.

This is a societal murder and the New York Times is an accomplice. Frankly, it's sort of offensive for them to publish this at all, considering this outcome is a policy goal of the paper's owners.

NYT again with the “we’re all trying to find the guy who did this”

I like to use Alan Turing as an example of, “if you did to cis people what you’re doing to trans people you’d get the same results.” Thank god there aren’t a lot of examples, but there are still too many and I’m sure a whole lot of them are unknown. But I’m young and dumb and messy.

I'm always wary of sharing stories about trans people's suicides--not because it isn't a crisis (it very much is) but because I worry many audiences internalize it as evidence trans people are fundamentally broken. So much discourse of both mental illness and trans people presumes it.

A devastating story about the life and death of Lia Smith, a transgender woman and college student targeted by conservatives online because she briefly participated on the school's diving team. Lia was found dead by suicide last fall at the age of 21. (Unlocked article below)

This dialogue and image have been hitting my feed pretty heavily this week. Appropriately.

"By the age of 70, he who doesn’t read will have lived only one life. He who reads will have lived 5000 years. Reading is immortality backwards." Umberto Eco, January 5, 1932 – February 19, 2016.

Elon musk will burn in hell.

This type of behavior is just disgusting. The internet is filled with lewd CONSENTING content. And yet people need to fulfill this creepy power fantasy. On minors for that matter! 🤢🤮

I'm not even done watching yet and I went straight here to see if dead domain had an account here to spread the word. The most terrifying part, to me, is that anyone can do this privately. You don't need the comments to use it. Victims won't even know this happened to them, is happening to them.

I just wanted to say that I really appreciated the time that was taken to interview myself and many others about this important topic. If you find yourself with some time I highly recommend you give it a watch.
