Gegen das Gefühl von Ohnmacht hilft mehr vorauseilender Ungehorsam. Kommt uns auch günstiger als alles andere.

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

I don't need to be "protected" from seeing porn, I need porn artists to be protected from being debanked, having their work stolen by AI, being abused for the content of their work, and going broke.

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

personally I think anyone should be able to change their name for any reason ever and society should just adapt for that. you will not change my mind

I need some of y’all to hold two ideas at once: 1) masks are a great tool for preventing the spread of airborne communicable disease, and we should all mask to the best of our ability to protect ourselves and others *and* 2) contracting a communicable disease is not a moral failing

This has to be the funniest question AND response I've ever seen in a poll. Less than half of Republican men think they could beat Trump in a fight. What a bunch of pathetic losers.

y’all are really out here saying “if you refuse conscription you go to jail for three years!” Uh, yeah. jail is the correct choice here

‘dynamic pricing’ is one of those things that at the base level i don’t even understand how it can be legal

Okay and having said all of that, here is my probably-unethical-but-fuck-it Pro Tip: if you are trying to get treatment for an EDS-like condition and struggling, and you’re AFAB of the right age, tell them you’re thinking about getting pregnant and have concerns. It will absolutely fast track you

We are going to need to have a conversation about the very big problem that since many men do not consider women to be human they will have no problem considering AI to be women

Happy May Day. They can’t kill us all.

They shot Alex Pretti ten times while he was face down in the street.

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

The dystopia of inequality--that high table for the lords and ladies; the dystopia of violence--all the federal guns suddenly on display; the dystopia of incompetence (they had one job: to keep a shooter out); the dystopia of normalization.

Der Einsatz von "generativer KI" ist ein großes Entsolidarisierungs-Programm. Es geht nicht nur darum, Menschen daran zu gewöhnen, dass sie nichts mehr allein tun können, sondern auch, ihnen beizubringen, dass die Arbeit von anderen nichts wert ist. In dieser Form ist KI ist eine Egoismus-Maschine.

So, Menners, Bestürtzung zeigen und Statements liken und teilen ist super, aber die eigentliche Arbeit ist das Deprogrammieren. Das dauert, ist anstrengend und will, wie ein Muskel trainiert werden, insbesondere dann, wenn es unbequem ist und euch niemand zu sieht, der*die applaudiert.

this country fucking hates women

ai has a “pr crisis” because we’re being told that it will replace everyones jobs and the plan from there appears to be to have to deal with not having a job or money. no one believes that the tech billionaires will bestow UBI or anything at all onto the “permanent underclass”

I don't know about the rest of you but I have basically given up on my bingo card at this point

DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN 🏳️‍⚧️ #art #tdov #transart

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of SEVERE disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

I really appreciate this Lindy West deep dive from Ashley: dense, fair, empathetic to Lindy, and proportionate about the context of her work (seriously, it feels like every other write-up of her book was from some smarmy loser who never got over Jezebel calling them a TERF in 2015.)

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Happy Trans Day of Visibility, babes ☺️

Trans people, if there’s anything you’re working on that you wanna plug or promote, reply to this post with it! I wanna see some trans talent :D

Wenn all die empörten #notallmen cis Männer sich jetzt einfach mal auf ihren Arsch setzen und wenigstens einen grundlegenden Feminism 101 Syllabus durcharbeiten würden, damit wir auch nur ansatzweise einen gemeinsamen Wissensstand haben, wäre ja schon viel gewonnen.

See also the people bragging about how they're going to pirate it. Your cultural incuriosity is not an act of progressive rebellion. This also applies to people who claim their HP fanfiction is exempt from these discussions because "JKR would hate it."

I wonder if much of the “debate” around “effectiveness” of protest isn’t fueled by failure of those who dismiss them to perceive that at the *very least* they function for many as *a* democratic tool for the maintenance of sanity. Not everyone! But that’s ok. Solidarity requires survival.

if you watch and support the new harry potter show you are funding trans genocide globally by the way

wieviel energie&zeit wir verlieren,nur um in debatten zu erklären&zu rechtfertigen, dass christians&martins genauso gewalt ausüben,dass gewalt strukturell ist, durch alle sozialen schichten&milieus geht. diese endlosschleifen erschöpfen uns, während die macht weiter ungestört ihre kreise zieht. 1/

CW: Sexualisierte Gewalt Ich höre und lese gerade viel, dass Typen/Verhalten "total krank" und "Monster" sind. Ich verstehe den Impuls, aber eine Krankheit ist etwas anderes und es lohnt sich präziser mit Sprache zu sein, um das strukturelle Problem zu verdeutlichen 🧵

Männer wenn einer Frau irgendwo auf der Welt irgendwas passiert

you are loved, and we will win

Langsam gehen den Not all-Männern so rein quantitativ einfach die Männer aus.

It is a recurring tragedy for women and girls on the left that many of us believe that the men in our movements include us in their visions of a more just, equal, and dignified world, and we have to learn the hard way that they don’t.

No, I am not worried about 'declining' birth rates, I accept them as post-modern birth rates, the birth rates that naturally happen once the conditions are set that children can be expected to survive to adulthood reliably and that women are allowed to be educated and become full citizens.

If a 9 years old can do it, any adult saying "I can't draw." can do it as well. No more excuses.

🥷🏻🥷🏻🥷🏻 @anjaruetzel.bsky.social auf der Höhe ihrer philosophischen Power - THANK YOU MRS R 🔥

This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.

every person in this is depraved, evil, needs to be put in prison for the rest of their lives and must suffer for these crimes against humanity

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

People do realize that positioning any serious topic as a distraction from a different serious topic is you just saying you don't want other people talking about anything other than what you want to talk about, right.

I just hate how normalized it is to say terrible things about cats :( plus in Popular Science: people who believe the aloof cat stereotype may be less attentive to their cats' social needs, which can then create insecure attachment, which confirms the stereotype. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy!
