always great when you're watching some italian movie from the 70s and they launch a car off a cliff and it explodes and disappears into a deep ravine and you just know that fuckin thing is still down there

I'll always appreciate the beauty of the old Irish song "Go on Home British Soldiers". I played it in Syria to a friend who immediately vibed with it. I suspect many L.A. residents will too. Nothing more natural than seeing an armed stranger and asking, "have you got no fucking home of your own?"

recent entity sightings

Got to see my book in final printed form for the very first time today. Kinda overwhelming. Should be on its way to everyone in a couple weeks.

yeah i got no issue with people whose job involves the use of machine learning tools for a number of technical tasks but anyone using AI to automate human communication or creativity is just instantly less of a person to me

My hungry ass could NOT wield a zweihander

at war with myself because i know slotkin is wrong about using the term oligarchy but I do think the American people are extremely dumb

i would even argue it's pretty common for Americans to see what's happening in Gaza as a genocide. NYT reporters and the visual investigations team have documented aspects of that genocide well. The owners and editors just don't want anyone to call it that.

It will definitely be an event when this eventually runs head first into castle doctrine.

Force the bastards to fucking do it. What they say only matters if they can fucking do it their statements are not just Reality Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Yesterday, ASU apparently, for a short time, changed their LGBTQ+ resource page to "LGB Students" This would match what Trump did to Stonewall National Monument. Thankfully sanity prevailed and someone changed it back. Do NOT erase trans people to please Trump! web.archive.org/web/20250424...

Twitter people are talking about the CNN poll showing that people "approve" of Trump's handling of gender identity. Turns out though when you look at the crosstabs, Democrats and Independents do not approve of Trump's handling of trans issues. But Republicans absolutely love it.

if a guy says theyre CIA and they want you to DM every girl you ever jacked off to and apologize, Its a scam. Just ruined my life. Thank you

no notes on this, which i don't say often about shit governors say

1. The White House has just released a "fact sheet" where it announces that 8 fake "experts" are about to release a federal report opposing transgender care. It also announces investigations on manufacturers has begun. Subscribe to support my journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/white-hous...

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

BREAKING: Israeli settlers have carried out a ‘lynching’ of the co-Director of Oscar winning documentary No Other Land. Hamdan Billal has injuries in his head and stomach and is reportedly bleeding.

Hey folks, I’m preparing to update my risk assessment map and I am including a new factor: hospitals complying with anti-trans EOs and whether AGs are putting pressure to stop that. If your hospital system is complying with anti-trans EOs and hasn’t reversed course, let me know here or in DM.

Over 2,000 webpages containing LGBTQ+ information have been removed from federal government websites.

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.

1. On Friday, protests erupted at Stonewall National Monument, the historic site of the Stonewall uprisings that ignited the modern gay rights movement, in response to the National Park Service removing transgender people from the Stonewall Website. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The lovers, 2018

If you're being forced out of the military on account of your gender as a result of Trump's return to power, we invite you to enlist in the real struggle for freedom. This is more honorable than fighting on behalf of those who hate you—and it's a fight that we cannot avoid. crimethinc.com/transban2

This is exactly the sentiment used to justify atrocity by despots for all of human history.

Cursed objects for sale in the Norway airport

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

post four great horror performances that didn't get nominated for an Oscar

Transgender issues aren’t “a distraction.” They are the main event for the GOP. They hate us enough to hurt everyone.

I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death; I am not on his payroll. I will not tell him the whereabouts of my friends nor of my enemies either. I will not map him the route to any man’s door. Am I a spy in the land of the living, that I should deliver men to Death? -St. Vincent Millay

Im shaking w rage. Just off the call with a small Biotech who is trying to find better cancer trts. NIH has frozen their grants They may reapply, but they have to send a list of transgender employees along with their grant application. THIS IS SCIENTIFIC KRISTALLNACHT @gavinyamey.bsky.social

On Jan. 30, 2025, the Transgender Unity Coalition is holding rallies around the US to show the solidarity of the transgender community. Already confirmed are rallies in the state capitals of Ohio, Colorado, California, Texas, Utah, and Georgia. More to come. transunitycoalition.org/contact-us/

love it when i am a humanist who believes our only hope is to become a multiplanetary society and have lots of babies and also i cut off all funding to starving infants and NASA

i can't believe we finished the Oprah episodes right before Dr. Phil started his embed with ICE

so many people warned about exactly this for years and major papers preferred to publish scare pieces about trans girls playing sports

Drawing of some trees from 2021

If you feel despair, if you feel defeated, if you catch yourself dissociating or focusing on what our oppressors are doing rather than on what you can do yourself—that is territory that the enemy has claimed within you. Give them nothing. Focus on your agency. We are in a fight that we can win. 🏴🏴🏴

Unexpectedly really touched by the Bratz IG account posting a David Lynch tribute

we are in good hands everyone

ChatGPT is down? Huh. Crazy how that doesn't affect my life in literally any way at all

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙 Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

this is genuinely excellent, creative, and extremely specific screenwriting, give The Substance the Oscar imo

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

who could be more suited for the role of Director of National Intelligence than such a master of Opsec

Retweeting Congressman Groyper and the Holocaust-denying cartoonist to convince people it wasn't a Nazi salute.

a key take away from reading a lot of history for me: the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.
