So the "advice" doled out in this column makes me INCREDIBLY fucking angry as a former kid who was repeatedly taken to task by teachers for "inappropriate" drawings, culminating in a 9th-grade suspension spurred by Columbine paranoia and residual Satanic Panic. Arionne here says that was JUSTIFIED.

This is big news. Ending the puberty-blocker ban in New Zealand is massive. It puts Cass & the entirety of Labour’s flagship anti-trans policies in doubt. Yet no mainstream media platform has even mentioned it. Indeed most alternative media, like @bylinetimes.bsky.social have failed to mention it.

Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

A part of this not mentioned is that Texas used to let kids transition. I volunteered at a camp for trans kids in Houston when I was in college (pre transition I know I know how did I not know I was trans). Guess where part of that camp was? Texas Children’s. That’s how much we lost

RFK talks about autistic and Arabic people the exact same way. He assumes they are not capable of ordinary or extraordinary achievements because of who they are. He considers them sub-human because they are not like him. This makes it plain that his is a white supremacist eugenicist project.

NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

I want all trans people to know that Erika Hilton is a black transwoman and the most-voted congresswoman in the history of Brazil, with 1.5 millions votes. She campaigned for Lula over the last three weeks. WE TRANS PEOPLE CAN EXIST IN POLITICS. It’s not a dream. It’s already a reality in Brazil!

#SIGNALIS Did my version of the infamous shotgun shells from SIGNALIIS (a.k.a. the greatest work of fiction ever made) ^3^ Thank you RoseEngine for altering my brain chemistry forever~

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

"I cast Infinite Diversity." "That's awesome. But you only have one creature on the board." *my one creature is Pet Avengers* "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Dear road crew, I understand that your work is vital and there is NEVER an ideal time to start work on neighbourhood streets. But did you have to start AT SIX IN THE FUCKING MORNING?!

People abroad don't understand the level of interference Meta & bots had in these elections. 5 days before the election a far-right politician posted a fake news video that got 157 MILLION views on Instagram in 24hs. For reference, GTA 6's reveal trailer got 90 million views on YouTube in 24hs.

To be honest: not that safe, it drops blood pressure and cardiac rhythm. If you have a number of conditions (any breathing issues, notably), it can be pretty dangerous.

This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."

Banning trans kids from sports is fucked up. And you better believe there are terrible people and parents who see "Fairness in youth sports" as a much bigger battlefield that will include girls who are too tall, black kids who are too fast, etc etc

The Sequel: Orange cat energy has gone over 9000.

disabled people don’t get “free money”. The benefit we receive isn’t enough to survive. This whole idea that disabled people are a “drain on the system” is ableist and inaccurate

Just so y'all international folks know how Bolsonarism is rigging the elections out in the open Elections are today, meta has outspokenly meddled with the lefts reach for weeks Has boosted the right to ridiculous levels one guy getting more reach than anyone in the world...

"Hot Foreign Leaf Water" is an EXCEPTIONAL way to describe tea.

When the AI for your self driving car was modeled off an orange cat's brain.

Imagine feeling like your country's newsmedia could at any time turn its back and begin this level of hate campaign against you, to the point that they harass you and everyone you love to the literal ends of the earth, mining you for content until your death and even after. How would you live life?

"She called me fat. Am I fat?" "Just be a lesbian. Lesbians love fat" - two like 13 year old girls at this seattle video store

You should be able to get the computer you pay thousands of dollars for simply NOT put up screens that your low vision mother cannot navigate.
