December 20th is DePiglio day

You and me both, Frodo, with the wishing it had not. But it did.

If this were true, they wouldn't be banning the medical care that does this.

once again, thinking about this. I do not know how much more collective grief and fear and death you need to see from us before it moves you to action. call your reps. okay, you don't wanna call for xyz reasons; understand that your next moves will be less effective but still, MAKE THEM.

shit like the ban on gender affirming care (and it is a ban and we should call it that) is why democrats cant be mealy-mouthed bigot lite on this issue. its why theres a problem with people like gavin newsom giving ground on this issue. this has to be a line in the sand.

because the worst thing that could ever happen to their child is that they might look like me some day, and we cant have that. theyd rather bury their kid than see them look like me, and im supposed to not be offended by that

Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms. 3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers. 4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against. It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power. Story to come.

No corporation has ever been your friend. No corporation will ever give a damn about you. Treat companies in kind with the callous disdain they have for you, and all of humanity. There is no such thing as a compassionate or altruistic capitalist. Spare your love & solidarity for other people.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out. This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

I know many things are awful but here is one genuinely useful and helpful thing you can do. No matter their party, your representative needs to hear that trans people and our families are not alone and this bill is an unjustifiable and extreme threat to criminalize the health care we need to live.

Transition is a matter of free will and freedom. Trans people are going to do it anyway and you cannot stop them. We are full human beings with the right to decide our lives for ourselves and no one has a right to stand in the way of that.

this made my soul ache

"You have to battle nazis on Twitter or we lose", dawg we fight them in real life. Put your phone down

The State of Texas continues to make a list of transgender Texans, per @lmcgaughy.bsky.social: www.kut.org/politics/202...

transitioning is the best choice i’ve ever made in my life and the only regret i have with it is that i didn’t do it when i was younger

A Great Horned Owl does its pre-flyout stretches in the Inwood Hill Park forest. 🦉 ❤️

I need a personal trainer but like for books

every year around christmas time the ballet dancers who play the rats in the nutcracker come out with a series of unexplained banger tiktok videos and anyway this is my favorite part of the holiday season

each of us contains the full genetic instructions for both testosterone & estrogen driven hormone loadouts (along with varying combos of both) this can be changed at any time. our genes will even start expressing themselves differently within ~3-6 months. this is an existential threat to fascists.

Gavin Newsom is a Republican and supporting him for president means you are, too

he soived

Also USPS didn't loss money because it doesn't make money because it's not a business and if never makes money to begin with. It did however deliver over 112.5 billion pieces of mail in 2024 and that doesn't even include packages.

Thank you so much for posting about the story!! Much love and appreciation for sharing the story that got reported on horribly wrong at first and we had to make sure the truth got out. Kyle does have a GoFundMe if people would like to help - www.gofundme.com/f/support-ky...

Hot damn that latest Mighty Nein episode. As someone who adored the original live play, the pacing is throwing me off, but I have liked/understood the changes made so far.

I lost Dad, my source of support, and now I take care of my sick mother and younger siblings. Despite feeling overwhelmed, I excelled and was accepted to study medicine, my late Dad’s dream. But I can’t continue without your help. Please support me gofund.me/d16d54e74

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

conservatives basically want to implement the caricature of affirmative action for conservative students. acceptance without meeting qualifications, good grades and degrees without having to do the work.

This is a really good New Republic article about trans people leaving the country. Do some research about getting visas. Start now. It is harder and slower than you think, and there are no opportunities for asylum right now. It also is entirely doable. newrepublic.com/article/2036...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy 48th anniversary to the best adaptation of THE HOBBIT. You know I’m right.

you do have to do it in a couple of places but this tutorial makes it easy to go uncheck the boxes that otherwise lets Google's AI read all your shit. or move everything over to protonmail but moving everything over is a giant thing I know.

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

Also like. Your parents could, in fact, have a very patriarchal dynamic between them in their relationship and the fact that this may not manifest as constant tension or fights or abuse doesn’t mean the power imbalance is not there

I feel obligated to post my favorite glyptodon meme

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
