Ok my cis friends, we are going to need a lot of you to step the fuck up and fight hard for us www.them.us/story/trump-...

Your local fox 4 news station is breaking a major news story tonight at 9: is America Adolf Hitler?

Large anti corruption protests in the Philippines are underway. Triggered by deadly floods which exposed $2billion lost to corruption in flood defence projects some of which didn't exist at all. www.rappler.com/philippines/... And a familiar flag is being flown at the protests.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

a fucking posting blackout is the opposite of helpful, it would be actively detrimental. it would make things worse! if i sound angry, its because i actually am! a posting blackout is actually possibly the worst thing you could suggest at a time like this!

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout: -submitting a feedback request -@ing moderation about it -commenting on mods posts about it -making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker) -leaving an app store review -just generally posting about it

So regularly destroyed is trans stuff that it's an obscure fact that 2 words beginning with trans (transfeminate and transection) were in English dictionaries to describe someone who 'changed sex' from the mid 1600s until well into the 20th century.

Then the people who applaud this shot used that destruction to pretend that queer people were new.

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

Six Kirk stories on the NYT home page before you get to a silly little story about the President publicly demanding his political foes be charged with crimes.

Okay, more concise announcement: September 21st at 2:00pm ET it is the End of Summer Street Hoop Tournament. Sign up link now in this post! challonge.com/tournaments/...

The "playbook" is the same one the institutionally-transphobic New York Times has used for the past 10 years to demonize and dehumanize trans people and their healthcare. Fuck the New York Times.

Anyone have an opinion on the Qanba Gravity KS buttons?

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

We don't say sex work is work because it's a cute slogan. We say sex work is work because sex workers are left out of conversations around labor rights. Sex workers have the right to safe workplaces and legal protections. Sex workers shouldn't fsce discrimination because of archaic morals.

This is what fascist scholars mean when they say "don't give them an inch."

"If standing up against fascism is what cost me my dream job I held for 10 years, I would do it again 100x stronger."

nothing gets past this guy

We don’t want AI slop. Stop sending us AI slop. Stop wasting our time with AI slop. It doesn’t sound good. It’s antithetical to our core values. You didn’t even make it. Knock it off.

Conservatives are now suing individual games, not just distributors. At every single step of this fight, critters have been looking for technical solutions out of it. First it was "well, just use a VPN." Next up, "just publish to your own website." This is a political problem.

"As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald."

So…they’re disappearing people. This is all just ticking along as expected. Now I know how the junta in Argentina lasted so long www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

btw Costco seems to have the cheapest updated COVID vax. You can get it without a card at the pharmacy and they do take walk-ins. If you’re also uninsured due to the massive amounts of layoffs this year, they also take this goodrx coupon to lower the cost of www.goodrx.com/comirnaty?sr...

relevant life lesson from comics on this one

Weird, indeed.

People have been saying for as long as I can remember that it is weird western media is more comfortable with torture than kissing; the most extreme violence is more acceptable than intimacy. It's not weird. It's deliberate. Our culture wants violence public and love private, shameful, atomised.

The impulse to say that erotica CAN'T say anything of value, that porn MUST be mindless indulgence, is an extension of this problem by the way. Sex and kink are just parts of life. Art that explores both primarily can touch on other subjects meaningfully as well. Stop trying to silo everything.

Unlikely as it is to pass, I think maybe it'd be good to scream at your representative that you don't want people who view pornography to be on a sex offenders registry

THANK YOU. I’m so fucking sick of everyone going “I’m so tired” or “I give up, we’re doomed” and giving up. That’s what the idiots want: for you to willingly give up. Running away does not work. Giving up does not work. There’s only one thing that has a chance of succeeding: FIGHT.

they're going around and documenting flags that aren't at half-mast for Charlie Kirk

I have always believed in using the pen to remember the forgotten, question power, shine light in darkness, and defend democracy. I've always believed in using the pen to help people in need, and to assist the most marginalized. I've never strayed from these values.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

It may be distasteful but it is not illegal to mock someone's death and it should not warrant arrest, ever. The 1st Amendment exists specifically to protect disfavored speech and what is happening now is one of the greatest threats to free speech in the United States.

If the right *truly* believed Charlie Kirk was a defender of free speech and someone who was fine with dissenting opinions, they wouldn't be engaged in a massive campaign to punish anyone who didn't "mourn him properly." They clearly know all of that is bullshit. Only the media was conned.

because japan gets all the best fun little fan exclusives and we don't, apparently there's a thread full of all the cool stuff from a toby fox interview for the 10th anniversary that's been translated to english: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C1w... love how we'd never know otherwise

But I was for real blown away by the support. And it’s pretty hard to shock me.

All the nonsense that we’re seeing right now is 100% astroturfed by billionaires. Trying to pressure everyone into believing garbage like Charlie Kirk was a decent person… when the truth is most people could give a rats ass he’s rotting.

Don’t let the internet fool you. I was at a protest for trans kids yesterday an HOUR south of Seattle, and it was HUGE. And there was a cacophony of drivers beeping in support. I could not believe it. Because I spend too much online and figured it’s a lost cause.
