As the gentry try to normalize transphobia in every avenue of life, a common talking point they love to share is the alleged high 'detransition' and 'regret' rates among trans people. These allegedly high rates are completely false, and based on bunk science. 🧵

Jess Wilson's Liberal National Coalition—along with One Nation—want to tear up Victoria's Treaty Don't let them‼️ Common Threads-organised Together for Treaty Barnstorm, at Hawthorn Arts Centre, Fri 30 Oct, 5.30 PM (h/t @candicenhendry.bsky.social)

If someone wants to transition and then for whatever reason needs to stop they need gender affirming care. That ALREADY EXISTS. This is not fucking that. This is pushing the idea that me and mine are a disease. And there are no good options for what happens next when that becomes accepted broadly.

There is an international, well-connected network of fascists promoting far-right candidates in elections (and coups) across the world. The guy who owns the site Yglesias posted this on is one of their leaders. Be careful of people advocating for their opponents to disarm!

yup.

We win this with Trans people... or not at all.

IT'S HERE: From today you can get our new "Mutual" obligations rights guide – digital or in print It explains in clear terms how people can and can’t be penalised to cut through job agency bullshit. It’s for people with compulsory activities, community sector workers or anyone who wants to help.

I'm a disabled trans woman with cerebral palsy. I can't walk and can't work. We found me an apartment. I'm days away from getting out of this hotel, but if I can't cover move-in and the hotel bill lose it and end up on the street. Please help if you can givebutter.com/keep-a-disab...

protestant evangelical megachurches and social media platforms pushing endless right wing propaganda are both two key 21st century american technologies of control with a planetary reach and a resilience embodied in how both expand and rely upon the decentralized, productive desire of the willing

If you didn't have any other reason to resist AI, though to be clear there are many good ones, the fact that AI's biggest promoters promise that it will usher in a more racist, misogynistic, and oligarchical world order would be enough.

Here's a photo of a helicopter landed on Joanne's 227 foot support yacht that follows around her 290 foot main yacht

Props to the ad agency: they nailed the "white person who plagiarises and steals credit using LLMs" look with 100% accuracy

Wait…people thought that was a real car? If it were a real car…he would’ve done it live. I’m legit surprised that anyone thought that was a real car.

genuinely it feels like the only people who think “coming up with great ideas” is the difficulty are folks who have never attempted to make their own art i have *so* many ideas for projects right now, the challenge is time and equipment and gaining the necessary skill to execute

Don’t know how to say it other than, creatives are currently enduring an Era of Punishment from rich people who just despise people with functioning brains.

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

Gavin Newsome: Well I'm a huge believer in reaching across the aisle, in finding common ground despite political differences, for the greater good of the nation. It's for that reason that i am honored and excited to welcome you to the show Adolf Hitler: Danke

Always. 🙄

Electoralism is absolutely a dead-end, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hold significant value right now for our ends. Once again, collapse right now would invariably lead to a world led by fascist techno-oligarchs. There is no communist revolution on the horizon. We have to build.
