Trans women athletes on HRT are not male athletes in physiological or performance terms. A study funded by the @iocmedia found trans women had lesser jumping ability than c1s women & men, plus lower lung function & cardiovascular fitness than c1s women. bjsm.bmj.com/content/bjsp...

For guitar players, what do y'all use for pickup settings on your guitar? 1 or 2 or both?

Fuck the BBC is the moderate position

"optimists failed to foresee: the erosion of privacy &, as Berners-Lee writes, “the industrial-scale harvest of user data” emergence of ruthless giant corporations..creation of a powerful new oligarch class..loss of a consensus reality; rise of clickbait & deepfakes" www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

listen, with US journalism falling off a cliff i’ve seen multiple people touting the BBC for doing good “actual journalism” and I need you to know they’ve been horribly transphobic and damaging to trans people for YEARS and they’re about to get even worse they are not the answer!

Fuck Fetterman and fuck Israel's genocide

Read this story, please. Free Yaa'kub Ira Vijandre!!

ICE is disappearing people into concentration camps and torturing them.

Rod fucking Dreher!

Anyone who goes to conservative conferences knows how many groypers and or Nick Fuentes disciples staff Capitol Hill offices, think tanks or lobbying firms.

Let that sink in: 76 people have been killed, without evidence of any guilt, on the orders of a psychopathic President. That makes such killings murder: 76 people murdered. Get that fucker out of the White House and charge him for each precious life snuffed out.

A transgender TSA officer, who has identified and presented as a woman since her first day, is no longer allowed to pat down travelers thanks to a Trump executive order issued that, with a stroke of the pen, wrongfully reclassified her as a man. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Jesus wept.

i'm telling my kids this was percy bysshe shelley

I just want to say I'm desperate and need help, so I may be okay for the next month into early next year as I think about some other options to be financially secure. Anything will truly help me, and again, I appreciate everybody for being so wonderful. Truly. ♡♡

Me as a therapist: is the butthole in the room with us right now?

Hey MAGA!! It's not the trans that are shutting down your hospitals and killing your farms. youtube.com/shorts/tDASK...

We're going to have to hang in there a while longer, sigh.

🤬🤬🤬🤬

15-year auto loans 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

His dad made one Perfect Tool.

ICE THUGS are now threatened by and going after 1-year-old babies, pepper spraying them point blank. I can't print what I would like to do to those MFers.

especially since Feynman's advice would be horrifyingly misogynistic

Positive news though: Florida Dems will have another go at banning the Trans & Gay Panic Defense in the 2026 legislative session. (link to House version, & there's also a Senate version) legiscan.com/FL/bill/H031...

lol. lmao even

Totally cool that human made technological cursed object, the Large Language Model, is cognitively throwing us back into the Medieval Dark Ages except this time, we have smartphones to ensure we stay there. No silly Enlightenment here!

Definitely not me almost dying of laughter at this asshattery & that book cover… Then sending this to my Greek bestie so we can feel better about ourselves/be sassy about how famously straight Achilles was… Like. Does the Nazi Melon think Achilles and Patroclus were just good friends, FFS? OMFGs.

Dunno man, this sounds like a bunch of comfortables experiencing what it's like to be a pig person for the first time. Being on the left this has been my experience of the poltical media ecosystem my entire life. Centrists & libs have been hosing me in pure unrefined shit for as long as I can recall

Timecube!!!!

They'll all die after living and unhappy and unfulfilled life. No one is ever happen endlessly chasing money.

Universities risk irrelevance by engaging fully with AI

Hoping to find a social media home here after musk and zuck are fostering unsafe spaces for queer folk. SO if you like: Poetry All things Queer and Trans Music such as boygenius, MUNA etc Supporting Independent Musicians Gimme a follow or a message and we could be mutuals?

The Independent did one of these too. I wonder would could have possibly $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Let me see if I understand this correctly. Charlotte wants to limit cellphone access in spaces that may require it for emergency reasons. And somehow this is going to stop radicalization because such "protection" magically spills over to after school hours?

And Peter Thiel will die just like the rest of us and leave it all to someone else. Net Zero Billionaires 2030.

This'd send a dangerous message that predators who sexually abuse victims, would be protected & their voices matter more than the voice of their victims That speaking out could potentially put a target on your back & make the victims look like liars This is BAD! 🤬🤬 www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

For every thousand sexual assaults in the United States, there are eleven (11) convictions. And about three of those are incorrect and based on racial profiling. So please miss me with the "we need the carceral state because of all the rapists" line. It's a myth.

🏳️‍⚧️🎙️It’s #TransAwarenessMonth 🎙️🏳️‍⚧️ November is: Trans Awareness Month & this is: #TransAwarenessWeek As a Proud Nonbinary Daughter of a USMC Vietnam Veteran Dad: We also remember Our Veterans on this #VeteransDay🪶🪶 #TDoR -Trans Day of Remembrance is on November 20th🕯️🌹 In spite of all the danger…

I don't follow SK, but I know the answer. Because the Bluesky moderation and "trust" and "safety" teams suck absolute ass.

I counted them. Men in New York have done 100,390,769,420 things throughout history.

NOBODY should be sharing intel with the U.S. right now.

It’s really sad day when you have to retain a lawyer to protect you from family. My grandpa died 3 yrs ago and my granny is in hospice care. We’ve been round and round with family ever since. If your response to a death is, “how much money do I get,” you should burn in Hell.

I've been scanning my own old flyers from that era, and ran across the flyer for that very show!

Yet again, @chrisbratt.bsky.social and the PMG team just killing it with quality journalism. #UnionStrong #SaySorryBeNice #NoGTA6 #BoycottRockstar youtu.be/c9nOwjeznjI?...
