It's gacha week. BUT I'm delivering on my subathon promises for Deltarune no Shadow Mantle Secret Boss run attempt! twitch.tv/decafinvidia and www.youtube.com/@DecafInvidia collabs w/ @mjbeasi.com #Reverse1999 #GenshinImpact #R1999 #Minecraft #Deltarune #Schedule #Twitch #Youtube #Collab

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

It'd have been more helpful if the West recognized the very obvious and uncontestable genocide, instead of recognizing Palestine just long enough for Israel to massacre it completely.

the trans music archive has announced a residency for 2 trans bands/artists at their recording studio in NY, plus a $1000 stipend www.transmusicarchive.org/residency

Reminder that September is National library card month, so you should totally go get a library card! Yes, they have books, but many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and more! Maybe it's time for a visit!

Very aware I'm at less risk than transfemme folks rn, even as someone who writes for teens, because the right has such a limited understanding of trans identities. But this is terrifying for all of us, & it's just... incredible that they're working so hard to vilify less than 1% of the population.

We're 10 years into the anti trans panic, any rhetorical approach that doesn't start with "conservatives are lying to you about this, any concerns you may have about trans integration have already been addressed decades ago and if you believe otherwise you've been lied to" is actively harmful

Thread.

The one BEST decision she made - choosing Tim Walz instead of that centrist neolib Shapiro - was then negated when she took her brother-in-law's advice, kettled Walz, and then toured with CHENEY. Daughter of the Bush-Era Veep who helped prep the current moment with the 'Unitary Executive.'

... no wonder Walz wasn't her first choice.

Mask mandates had an incredible impact on covid transmission too. Inconvenient narrative, I know, but facts are stubborn things. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

I covered this as it was happening, so it's kind of surreal to see it being turned into a graphic novel, but the book looks like it will be amazing! icv2.com/articles/new...

Remember literally three years ago, when centrist pundits claimed that the trans backlash was really just a wonky debate over the correct medical standards for children? Fast-forward to today and you have members of Congress calling for ALL trans people to be seized and held incommunicado

This would make it illegal for any site that has trans content--not just porn, but everything from trans people posting selfies to essays to comics and stories featuring trans characters--illegal in the state. You've seen how fast the Age Restriction shit spread. Don't pretend this isn't possible

Q. Why is there a special election in the Minnesota House tonight? A. Because the Democrat who held the seat was assassinated in June. www.the-downballot.com/p/morning-di...

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer vaccine has shown progress in triggering POWERFUL and LASTING immune responses in patients with pancreatic AND colorectal cancer. The vaccine, known as ELI-002 2P, targets mutant KRAS proteins AND had a huge impact on PREVENTING or DELAYING cancer recurrence in patients.

Trans people have been saying for a year that we read Project 2025, we know the plan is to criminalize pornography, then classify all work that includes trans people/characters as pornography. The bill in Michigan explicitly does exactly that. Do you guys believe us now? Will you fight for us now?

We are in a massive Covid surge right now. No one will tell you this, because they’re still trying to prop up the “Covid is over” narrative. Every day we learn more about the harmful long term effects of repeat infections. Get your vaccine (if you can). Wear a respirator. Clean the air.

Alrighty here's what we're working with. twitch.tv/decafinvidia and www.youtube.com/@DecafInvidia collabs w/ @mjbeasi.com @shadowmonarch1371.bsky.social Riku JadieMoon #Reverse1999 #ThankGoodnessYou'reHere #GenshinImpact #R1999 #Minecraft #DateEverything #Schedule #Twitch #Youtube #Collab

Just spent four hours reviewing hundreds of new #COVID19 studies. My spreadsheet of studies demonstrating COVID's chronic impact on brains, cardiovascular systems, diabetes, mental health, cancer, lung functioning, and other issues has grown to exceed 2,500 studies. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

anyway, trans rights forever

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Nobody is “grooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people ARE grooming them to be Nazis.

Hey I know everything is going to hell and none of us are okay right now but PLEASE USE ALT TEXT when posting images on Bluesky. Especially when the text in the images is the entire point!

The uptick in “our book club wants to read your book!” followed by expensive fees to share with their members is absolutely wild. Be careful? These scams wouldn’t be so prolific if they didn’t work every now and again.

I know it's popular to blame social media for a multitude of societal ills, but some guy just explained like 90% of my lifelong difficulty communicating with others in a single instagram reel, and I'm 🤯

the thing about Zohran is he is really fucking good at politics and everyone on the Dem side behaving like he’s a liability has lost their minds I don’t care how you define It, he has It

Seeing positive covid tests allllll over my social media. Mask up folks

The vibe on here this morning is surreal. Not in a bad way.

Are they trying to rewrite Dubya's legacy ON THIS DAY like his neglect of New Orleans was an oopsie? Kanye saying he didn't care about Black people was the last time he was right. Y'all gone whitewash all these fascists including Trump & give them storied places in the pantheon.

In somewhat less doom and gloom, I found out yesterday that I got accepted into the Twitch Pride Guild, one of several Twitch Unity Guilds that exist for marginalized creators to support each other. Here's the little graphic I put together to introduce myself in the guild discord.

also, considering a single covid infection can GIVE you one of those conditions on the list… even if you’re fully vaccinated and boosted…. that means everyone who can, *should* be masking

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON YOUR VACCINATIONS NOW.

The way some cis people actively demand fealty to Gavin Newsome is... really something. 🙃 I guess it's good to know who we can't trust.

Their memorials are history. Ours are political. Because as always, there are two sexualities - straight, and political. Two genders - male, and political. Two religions - Christian, and political. Two races - white, and political.
