@zalisteggall (Olympic Medalist) delivers a gold medal performance here. @zalisteggall directly addresses trans women athletes myth and condemns the harm caused by Morrison and Deves to the trans community.

Thinking a lot lately about the simple fact that college allows people to spend about 15 weeks immersed in a disciplinary conversation with an expert in that field. And what a special thing that is.

So this is happening outside of the Heritage Foundation right now "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE! Fuck Project 2025! Fuck Alligator Alcatraz!"

More than half of ethnic minority Brits say the England flag has now become a racist symbol, with Brits of all colours now tending to say the raising of the flag is mostly about expressing anti-migrant, or anti ethnic-minority sentiment

An AI chatbot roleplay and image generator platform left cloud storage containers of nearly two million of images and videos exposed, including photos and full names of women from social media. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Full scoop by @samleecole.bsky.social www.404media.co/ai-porn-secr...

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other. Shared by @gizmodo.com: buff.ly/yAAHtHq

Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Day 11 without help I am having trouble affording food much less pay for any other pressing expenses Anything helps Don’t forget to share #MutualAidRequest

my wife and her entire team were fired over Zoom from their program manager jobs at a local nonprofit Seattle hospital this Spring because Trump just stopped paying Medicaid reimbursements. and this is a relatively affluent urban center we're really not prepared for what's coming

Please help our friend @maedayj.bsky.social stay housed, especially during this difficult time! Mae has been busy planning her brother's funeral while dealing with housing and food insecurity. Please be here for her now! If you can't help, please share! 💖🌸❤️🌺🍓

pretty clear a big part of the mainstream media-led backlash to #metoo is the number of people in media who take advantage of and abuse others. they made it seem like it's about fairness, but they just didn't want to face any real consequences for their behavior.

By mimicking Reform to win back support, the Labour government is making a serious mistake. This race to the bottom emboldens Farage, punishes vulnerable people, amplifies racism, and undermines those working to hold communities together.

A Government of cowards. Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution. They can't get away with this. Join.greenparty.org.uk

“What would we do with a human who was running around acting like a suicide coach? Or pretending to be a therapist when they’re not? How would we hold *them* accountable?”

Hello everyone. I haven’t received anything as of yet. This is really really urgent and I hope it can be met by today. Anything helps! 🙏🏼 Thanks for sharing! #MutualAid #HelpFolksLive #HelpSky #BIPOCMA #FundSky #MutualAidVoid #DisabilitySky 💸💕

I’ve been circling around this idea for awhile but didn’t have the skill to summarize what others have now done extremely eloquently: Proposing the concept of misinformation exposure as a social determinant of health. Read on if you’re interested.

BBC News: "the government believe refugees are deliberately bringing their children to avoid deportation" As opposed to doing what with their children??

Definitely this.

TRIGGER WARNING Every woman i know, and every woman i have trained has been sexually assaulted. Every. Single. One. It is a very good plan to learn new behaviors that lessen the trauma for women....men can learn how to be less...awful. Many men need to learn new ways. So many stuck men

Just heard about this huge (49 state) long covid trial using tirzepetide (aka zepbound) one of the newer glp meds. It’s run by researchers at scripps, funded by the eric & wendy schmidt foundation.

For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.

If you are not in academia, you might not know this, but job interviews used to be held at conferences IN HOTEL ROOMS. Women candidates in a hotel room alone with often all-male committees. People sitting on beds! The horror stories I've heard.

Are there 11 people with $23 to help Britt stay sheltered for the rest of the month? They didn’t choose this, and have been desperately trying to break out of this cycle for a long time now Not easy when suffering with #MECFS which is an extremely life limiting illness

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50. I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman. #GiftLink wapo.st/49WOdx1

I love seeing people get excited about things they like 💖 the world needs more joy.

I guess my most woke opinion is that the concept of "earning your living" is outdated to the point of being inhumane. The way technological progress is going, we will either accept that we should provide decent living for everyone for the good of all society, or continually descend into nightmare.

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

How can everything that this #Labour Government do just keep getting worse? Seriously, what is wrong with them? Aside from anything, can’t they see that this will just bite them hard on the ass? 🤬🤬 #RoadToFascism #HumanRights #AsylumSeekers #RedTories

To explain briefly: at the moment people successful in their asylum claims get permission to stay in the UK for 5 years, then have to apply for permanent residency. At that point a review of their status is done, but it’s rare not to succeed at that point unless they‘ve committed an offence 1/

#Reading makes people harder to manipulate or control. Therefore this activity scares those that want to dominate others. (Whether they be authoritarian politicians or etc). Otherwise why would book bans exist? Knowledge is Power. Reading is Resistance.

"my least woke opinion is---" That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania. Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Hmm suspicious. I'm noticing all of the people with connections to Jeffrey Epstein are in the same economic class. It's almost like the rich are fundamentally less moral people than the working class and that's why they're willing to horde money in the first place.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

Looking forward to all the Trump fans in British politics being asked their views about the latest Epstein revelations tomorrow...

this Helene Funke painting is up for auction in December. estimate of about 10k-20k euros, which seems very low, but what do I know. she should be better known.

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me. I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.
