every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

I am a warrior and a fighter for all of October - pushing through traumatic memories tied to the month, sacrificing my weekends to be spooky and entertaining, putting up with higher than usual rates of family bullshit… …and then November comes and I turn into a little baby with a big tummyache

it’s absolutely ridiculous that not a single national media outlet has picked this story up yet except for “lgbtq+ news” and fox! it’s been 12 hours!

Today's Classic Anime Girls are Utena Tenjou and Anthy Himemiya, main protagonists of "Revolutionary Girl Utena" (1997)!

Diplomatic Talks Break Down Between Trump, Motion-Activated Ghost Decoration

People love autistic honesty until it’s directed at them. Then suddenly it’s a “tone” No - it’s clarity. You just weren’t used to being spoken to without performance and degradation. This includes towards other autistics who don’t know what it’s like to be spoken to directly.

I’m so fucking tired

An autistic teenager who had a bucket of pigs’ blood dumped onto her at her high school prom has reportedly had far worse – even just today.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78. Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

"It affects ME, so now it matters" writ large. We're watching the 180-degree swing-left radicalization of everyone from FunkoPop collectors to Temu dropshippers.

a cool thing about trans people is that just existing in normal every day life on social media we will cause people who would otherwise pass as just a normal liberal reveal that they were actually just insane reactionary conservatives the entire time and also total fucking cowards about it

Hey #altgov #altcitizen anyone care to speak on this or

Hey alt accounts (looking at you @alt-irs.altgov.info ), a word of advice. Homophobic, misogynistic jokes do not magically cease to be so just because the subject is a member or the current administration.

Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism. ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees. One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help. He's a double amputee who's been in the country since he was two years old. He's being held in solitary:

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

My man David Byrne released a new album this month

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

"autism announcement" but in the style of a gender reveal party would be like "it's trains autism!!!!"

many ppl highlighting flaws in this article. but having fought in the "80% desistance" wars of the mid-2010s, I remember asking anti-trans activists if they'd be ok if 80% of youth were helped by gender-affirming care (flipping their argument). & they *never* answered. b/c they want *zero* trans ppl

Really, this whole thing has been Disney’s biggest blunder since they had Donald Duck killed in a switchblade fight.

We brought together attorneys general from across the country to tell trans students: We see you. You belong here. And we will fight for you. As this school year kicks off, know that you are not alone, and we will work to make sure all schools are safe for every student.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Fucking horrific to watch the governor, who is not an investigator, emerging every six hours to give live updates on whether or not the shooter was trans enough to murder your neighbors in revenge

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

I wrote a thing. As someone who survived the 1970s and kept the receipts.

Is this doing politics the right way @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social? Lies and hate is doing politics right is it? Maybe if the lies and hate were directed at you, you’d see things differently. (By the way this post is doing politics right).

Body not even in the ground before: - Crowder changes his twitter bio to brag about taking over Kirk's "#1 Conservative Daily Show" slot -Shapiro takes over TPUSA to help cover DailyWire's failure -Wife posts bizarre video using his ACTUAL CORPSE(???) to launch her influencer career Yeesh.

Kash Patel this morning:

I don't like doing this. It feels fucked up to constantly point out the negative dimensions of someone who just died in a horrific, worrying way. But I would like the media to tell basic truths about this person and his impact on public life rather than resorting to euphemism and outright lies!

NUISANCE BEAR INNOCENT

so this guy like 100% had a stroke right

When I say Dems are voting to ban trans rights, I mean they are voting to ban ALL trans rights. Included in the military funding bill are these provisions impacting trans people in the military: - A bathroom ban - A ban on correct gender markers on forms - A healthcare ban - A sports ban

These provisions will come up in other funding bills for Medicaid, VA, DHS, and elsewhere, as we have reported previously. So don't think that you're safe from Dems voting to strip all of your rights if you aren't in the military. transnews.network/p/the-sweepi...

I don't think it's cruel or "too soon" to suggest that we actually remember Kirk for who he was. As Voltaire wrote, "The living deserve our respect. The dead deserve only the truth."

I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.

That both of Turning Point USA’s founders are dead from public health crises their organization worked hard to enable is a parable for our time.

In June, a Democratic state rep in Minnesota was murdered, and a state senator was shot. And a couple of days later, Trump said he wouldn't phone Gov. Walz, calling him "whacked out" and "a mess"
