I’m gonna share something so unpopular that I’ll turn my mentions off…congressional Dems have showed up for trans people, legislatively if not rhetorically.

One observation of the transphobe athlete puff piece is how Sophie Cunningham's declarative statement that trans girls shouldn't be allowed to play girl's sports is then wrapped up in her disingenuous sentiment about how she's "misunderstood" and "middle of the road." Own what you said, love.

This is a great read, and it's also a lesson. This is what everyone could be doing, at every level. This is the possibility open to every one of us, while every single cry of "we had no choice" was and is a cowardly lie.

Y'all Emoria is an awesome person whose love and online presence really helped me my first few months of transition. Please help her out if you can. You get a great book in return!

Without saying your age, what’s your favorite movie that came out when you were 18? It’s technically Pirates but I don’t wanna give that clown more attention. Justice for Amber Heard.

A win is a win. That was ugly but damn the Libs needed it.

Shepard elbowing Stewart TERF on TERF violence.

The Liberty are f-ing hopeless.

Want to make sure everyone who has engaged here also sees our companion video: bsky.app/profile/spor...

Tishomingo Blues is begging for an adaptation. Thing with Leonard is you don’t need to do much to adapt his work. His dialogue is smooth, his characters are fun. Just sort out his plotting and you’re good. Get Shorty and Out of Sight both understood this (as did Justified mostly).

does anyone know if they ever caught Bai Ling

Idk. I get the point here. I guess for me, it’s hard to know the line between attraction and fetishization. And unfortunately, most of both come at me from men and I am very much not into men. So maybe it’s a Me issue.

Since spring, every Brooklyn-bound L train has smelled like someone died in it.

Anfield is located in an area that looks like a random row home neighborhood in Baltimore.

If you've gotten into soccer cuz of the World Cup but find the matchup between the consensus 1-2 boring as hell (it is), try MLS. Not joking.

One last time…

After May Pollard died on a late-January morning, a detective asked her parents a question: Had anyone wanted to hurt her? “A lot of America,” her mother answered. Starts off devastating and gets worse from there.

This is bullsh*t and I'm so sorry it happened to you, Abby.

Aside from Philly, I could do without Pennsylvania.

I’m grateful for this perspective. The speculation I DO counsel about Rowling is that she, like many cis women (especially cis white women), love the proximity to patriarchal power and it fuels their bigotry.

i’m an omelas child centrist. we should let the infant keep suffering but occasionally toss a pool toy down the hole so the kid knows we don’t all endorse this kind of treatment

The County I grew up in.

Excellent book. A crime comedy of manners.

Chinatown

In addition to being hilarious, Letterkenny gets the most gorgeous women and femmes on its show. Katy, Tanis and Bonnie McMurray are all showstoppers. Even the ones who pop up for an ep or two are beauties. A femme-wild lesbian’s heaven.

Forget cards, they're gonna need to invent fouling out. This sh*t is ugly.

this is why i hate when people do the “haha it’s gender affirming care” shit when cis people do it. it’s not gender affirming care it’s gender enforcing care

She a few tears at this one. Little League felt like the only place I didn't struggle with dysphoria, at least when I wasn't in the dugout. Thanks for this @birdmotif.alextey.co

Re-watching ISTTG as I do periodically. I can't say it cracked my egg when I first saw it 2 years ago. But every time I've seen it since, it hits closer to home. Watching it now (4th or 5th time), I keep thinking about the grief I've felt the last few months for the little girl I didn't get to be.

In both this @assignedmedia.org piece and the response to it, I've noticed a lot of trans people on here sharing their stories of developing anger and, more tellingly, how they wish they did not harbor that anger. I wish I could them a hug. I'm not there on the anger yet but...it's not good.

Best politics thread I’ve read in a while. Too Online Politics hobbyists often don‘t believe how disconnected from reality the average voter’s views are. Should give anyone pause when they do the “Why can’t the Dems just say this?” routine. Campaigns are about raising money and hand holding.

I love @emilystjams.bsky.social’s work so in order to get the full experience of my Episodes subscription, I must break a solemnly held oath...

this is where your money goes when you buy harry potter stuff. rowling isn’t shy about it. amnesty wrote an even-handed report that laid out what anti-rights groups do; rowling uses her billions & clout to suppress it. when you give rowling money; she spends it on stealing people’s human rights.

Sam Neill would have made a MUCH better Poirot than Kenneth Branagh. Would just need to curl the 'stache a bit and voila. Could add an avuncular tone to offset Poirot's condescension.

what a wonderful man. don’t know if he ever saw this but i sure hope so

A random role I always loved Sam Neill in was as the creepy detective in the first two seasons of Peaky Blinders. Was fun to watch him play a bad guy. RIP to a real one.

Many have shared this and it is that good. A decorous, contemporary version Hunter S. Thompson’s obit of Nixon.

This is Lindsey Graham's legacy and should be included in every obit, even the friendly ones.

That's why she's my favorite! (That was such a dumb thing to do and she's probably getting traded after that...but she's still my favorite)

Sandy Brondello saying "Well well well, not so easy to coach an offense that doesn't suck shit, huh?!" in the handshake line.

The Liberty might want to defend the perimeter. Just a thought.

Checking out a baddie femme at the coffee shop with some dirtbag guy who’s rocking a beard with his handlebar mustache and God, I hate comphet. I imagine him being insufferable and having opinions on Connor McGregor.

I want to make a joke about England reconquering the States by winning the World Cup on our turf during our 250th but every day, I'm reminded how incredibly transphobic the UK government is. Should be noted that the only reason it's not this bad in the States (yet) is because of the federal system

UFC fight is on is the bar, and to me, it looks like two twinks trying to not be the one who gets penetrated.

Meh. I’ve died a lot of glorious ego deaths the last few months transitioning. Unless I’m super into someone, I’m kinda cool waiting to be swept off my feet.

I think every team I rooted for since the round of 16 lost. My bad. At this point, I just want Mbappé-Messi II.
