“The restoration of "the natural order" – in which the dominance of white people in America is preserved and protected – requires ruining the economy.” 1000x’s this.

As trans genocide progresses, more and more trans people will be forced out of formal economies and into survival sex work. You cannot support trans liberation without also supporting sex workers.

when you see people who claim to be progressive or on the left supporting anything to do with genAI, keep in mind that multiple influencers and youtubers have said publicly they have been offered eye popping amounts of money to quietly slip mild pro-AI rhetoric into their videos.

Personally, I believe seabirds are the closest thing we have on earth to angels. They visit from realms we cannot live in, keeping holy ancient rituals of birth and death, migration, occasionally disappearing into the far arctic where we cannot track them even with our fanciest tech.

Large mammals like us are a blink of an eye compared to how long these seabirds have been around, how deep their ancestry goes. And a single albatross can live to be 90 years old and they form lifelong relationships.

if someone rich wants to clear my chuffed i can be somewhere for longer and be way less stressed about basic survival 💕💸💕 bit.ly/40KRJ83

I had this exact same experience, so I am sadly not surprised by Tokarczuk's pro-AI stance.

This is a review essay featuring three books on trans-inclusion in sport: @katiebarnes.bsky.social's Fair Play, Harrison Browne and @rachelbrowne.ca's Let Us Play, and Ellie Roscher and Anna Baethe's Fair Game. I recommend them all! I recommend reading them all together.

Mayor Mamdani is the best thing to happen to Democrats since FDR. It infuriates me that the centrist Democratic stink tank, The Third Way, chooses to attack Mamdani when they could be working with us to defeat Republicans. www.thirdway.org/memo/ten-rea...

THIS IS HUGE: Colorado Supreme Court orders Colorado children's hospital to resume gender affirming care for trans youth. www.coloradopolitics.com/2026/05/18/c...

it's cool that the president is trying to steal two billion dollars from my taxes to give to his pedophile friends and i'm supposed to like keep doing my job or whatever

And did you know you can ask your library to get a book if they don't have it, and they just might get it? Our son wrote a letter to our library asking for more Big Nate books. The librarian sent us a message letting us know they've ordered more Big Nate books. And that our son is pretty cool.

Lina is struggling to care for her family, including her severely injured husband Mahmoud who's at risk of amputation, her mother-in-law with bone cancer, & her sick daughters, under Israel's genocide, which has left them homeless & starving. Mahmoud urgently needs surgery to save his life:

this guy is so used to people licking his asshole whenever he says something into a microphone and it’s quite nice to see their refusal to listen to his babbling get under his skin

New — I spoke to parents whose kids are former patients of NYU Langone's trans youth health care program about the Texas criminal subpoena for their private health records. "I was furious. I was in disbelief. I was scared for my child's well-being." Read my full report:

I'm so excited about our third season opener, featuring @vajra.me , @samtasticbooks.com , and @gregoryawilson.com talking about didactic fiction. P.S. We are nominated for an Aurora Award, so Canadian SFFH fans, consider giving us a vote. :)

I'm unable to give much, but when I can, I make sure to donate to MSF. Maybe you'd like to as well.

best case scenario, this is an absurd, windmill-tilting waste of money & resources. worst case, it’s going to be used to forcibly detransition (+ re-feminize or re-masculinize) & do conversion therapy on teenagers en masse.

Worth noting that most of the people who say Bluesky is dead or useless are journalists, not organizers. Bluesky has been OUTSTANDING for me as an organizer. I've raised THOUSANDS of dollars here, gotten HUNDREDS of people to actual events, gotten LOADS of people to DO POLITICAL THINGS.

Found this post on reddit and the last bit nails it: “Please don't remember her for the horrific end to her life. Remember her for who she was, a true blessing. To everyone around her.”

Mamdani for President 💥

A. lived in Germany since he was two months and last year gained German citizenship. Now he’s been stripped of it because of pro-Palestinian Instagram posts, in a disturbing legal case that points to the rise of citizenship-on-probation.

GOD. DAMN. This Louisiana man fucking COOKED like I’ve seen very few people cook before.

4 days so far and no progress. Can anyone help us get running water again?

I picked up Love/Aggression by @theworldsgreatestwriter.com after reading "Dating After the Death of God" (via a Discover Feed link, in fact). I'm afraid to look inward, but @sesmith.lol's All My Dead Cats and Other Losses comes to me in July.

If any indie writer is looking for edits or sensitivity readings!! 🔽🔽🔽

Fact that no one mentions reparations when they’re floating “Woke 2” is one of those things I typically laugh to myself about but it’s only funny in a dark sardonic way.

Measles outbreak is official. If you are a patient at our office and have questions please send us a message by the patient portal or call the office.

My friend Sama'a is trying to find food and milk for her young children, and every day it is both scarcer and more expensive. Please give what you can to help. chuffed.org/project/1575...

It occurs to me in all the strange raging about 'historical accuracy' and 'Christopher Nolan' and 'is Helen hot enough that I personally, here in my pyjama pants, would start a war over her' many people in the world do not in fact have a proper understanding of how truly unhinged Greek Myth is.

There's a screenshot going around of authors admitting to AI use and one of them appears to write hardcore monsterfucking fics and this makes me sad. If you're not writing monsterfucking fics for the sheer, genuine love of the game then what the hell are we even doing here?

The big seller at yesterday's Odd Mart Mother's Day market was Gore Poetics, which can only mean one thing: moms LOVE queer, erotic, weird, transgressive horror.

Doctors say that fluoride helps build strong teeth. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and takes raccoon penises home for “further study” says it causes autism. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Good points in this piece from Chris Rapley: "Not once in the history of human spaceflight has an astronaut been known to tamper with their life support system... Sabotage is unthinkable – socially intolerable... We are doing to our planetary life support what no astronaut has done to theirs. "
