The kids are not alright. If you think censorship and sex-negativity are bad now just wait until this puritanical generation grows up and imposes their sex shame on the rest of us. Not to be mean but I believe millennials are the best generation overall, probably why fate had to knock us down.

An Update: I received an email canceling my contract as a columnist at @startribune.com after sharing this story publicly. (I had written columns past the one-year contract already + been asked to continue on in July).

Watched the Kimmel monologue to support him, and while I am glad he is back, that he got lots of support from around the world, and that Trump is pissed over it, I gotta say that praising Erika Kirk and waxing poetic about coming together with conservatives was a major turnoff for me.

Genuinely wonder how K-Hive types will grapple with Harris herself openly saying that being associated with her rabidly pro Israel boss and his rabidly pro Israel political impulses was a net negative.

One of the reasons I am as openly sex positive and try to share porn art a lot is to push back on the environment of shame I grew up in and still see today. Sexuality is just a normal part of life. Trying to hide it away creates harm

The NSFW community has been a form of therapy for me. I feel like I can open up and process all those years I felt like a disgusting being just for enjoying watching fictional sex scenes. No wonder Nun X Demon is one of my favorites aesthetics, it's a way to get rid of this guilt I grew up with.

girl whos 20+ years into transition realizing the community is stress panic reacting from all of society telling us a washed up comic show was worth saving but not a human demographic not even a "well come back for you" holding space, being supportive and not whiskey throttling off the back myself

We are going to have to call silicon valley what is is; a welfare program for the most goblinesque among us.

Hell is not hot enough.

Fuck optics now, fuck optics forever. They should do it.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

I read this four times to make sure I wasn't having a stroke, I have seen so much transphobic horseshit in my life but this one genuinely for real has my jaw on the floor. on the FLOOR

Is it okay to talk to people without starting a podcast? In this new podcast we will investigate that very question...

We're being bombarded with the idea that autism is a pitiable fate or disease, but I want autistic folks to remember that you're wonderful because of who you are, not in spite of it. Does it make some stuff harder? Sure. But does it make some stuff more interesting, rich, and fun? Damn right it does

One of the most pernicious cissexual myths is that **trans ppl** are obsessed w gender when the average cis woman would never think of wearing a bow tie and the average cis man gets angry if he has to drink out of a coffee cup w too many dainty flowers glazed on it.

Do any of the professors or journalists or teachers also get their jobs back or nah

Abolish ICE

Oh shit lol What is extremely sad is that I could honestly see this happening with the current state of the world.

Do they have a large white supremacist subscriber base they need to worry about offending?

I see other companies have learnt nothing from the Disney fiasco. I am part of a family plan for Apple and I'm unsure I can get the rest to be willing to cancel, especially since they just agreed to give up Disney/Hulu but I'll be talking to them about it.

So that is a "No."

politico has now edited their story to eliminate references to “the autism problem” and deleted their bsky post about it someone got caught

Also, many Democrats are still indoctrinated by the cold war brainrot that equates anything bad in the world as being communism and they will simply not put any critical thought into trying to get themselves out of that mindset. Their entire lives they've been indoctrinated to think communism bad.

I guess when one's entire view of socialism and communism is that it is just "when the government does stuff" then it is easy to see how Democrats fall into the trap of thinking Trump is a communist. I've had Democrats I know say Trump is a commie, Harris is far from the only one thinking this.

Glad to see others say this as I agree. It can be tough because a part of me does think of MAGA as weird. Akin to Tim Walz back during the election it's like yeah it's weird to be so concerned over kids genitals or who is peeing next to you or if Labubu are demonic. 1/10

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

Ofcom officials wanted anonymity an article about the rollout of the Online Safety Act. Tell me someone sees the humor in government officials demanding everyone sacrifice their privacy to access porn/social media, while asking a journalist not to even share their name.

This is exactly why I'm not resubscribing and giving them any money. It was clear from the start where they stood by silencing Kimmel and they only backed down because of the money. They will certainly do it again in the future if they think they can get away with it financially.

how to wake up your gf

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Ok... so on one hand, fuck ABC7 Virginia for the framing of this question. On the other, Abigail Spanberger is really blowing this with her refusal to state clearly her support for trans Virginians.

Let me be crystal clear: People with autism are not a burden on families or society. They are not a "crisis", an "epidemic", a "burden", or a "problem to be solved". They are wonderful, beautiful, and incredible human beings worthy of respect, dignity, and love. Every single one.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

From the man that brought you "This is an island surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water." and "Give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that's the end of the magnets." comes his newest liquid related hit single:

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

I left a 1 star review on the app store explaining how disappointed i was with their updated adult content policy. I highly recommend doing so yourself too!

Today, the president of the United States of America said that the country's current pediatric vaccine schedule was "too much liquid... going into that baby" and then issued a decree announcing that anti-fascism is terrorism

I'm really loving how all of the corporate media that spent the last decade printing bald-faced lies about trans health care are suddenly incensed about sham autism claims. And by "loving" I mean "absolutely infuriated by" 🤬

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Exactly. The strategy of spitting in the face of your core constituencies in order to gain some mythical centrist votes is not a good idea. Democrats already tried with with the working class and it essentially hallowed out a huge portion of their base. 1/5

As an aspiring slut and whore I will always support others being themselves. You will always be free to be your sexy and kinky self with me without fear of judgement or shame.

I feel like the only time the topic of sex work makes it into mainstream convo is when a celebrity talks about their traumatizing experience with sex work and everyone makes their judgement accordingly without talking to the many folks who enjoy this line of work and actually want it to thrive.
