This is how micro aggressions work, plausible deniability among your cishet peers but not to the people you intend the insult for. It always starts with the disingenuous "Just asking" tone, only to progress two moments later to blatant supremacist comment.

if I block you without comment, and you respond with this "@johnwgant.bsky.social has added you to the "Ignorant Arrogant Infants" custom feed list" I think we know who the title of the list is actually referring to. I'm not blocking you to protect myself, I'm protecting you from me.
It takes a real lack of intelligence to use AI to post to groups of people who are in large part autistic. We know AI responses when we see it. Pathetic.

I can't open a bottle of Lipton Zero Sugar Green Tea (mixed berry) but yeah trans women and trans girls in sports is somehow 'unfair'. I had to ask my coworker to open it, she got it open.
The transphobes are NOT alright. Look several of my followers also follow this supremacist. You can follow them or you can follow me, but not both.
"You hit my car!" "Yeah, but do you want magats in office?" "That wasn't really the issue, are you going to fix my car?" "You don't deserve a car!" And.. scene
Movies seem a lot less scary when real life presents fear so blatantly, but we continue into our month long spooky but not too spooky movies. Beth and Michelle take a trip to Hill House and try to guess the room colors.
As we get deeper into our Supertobertacular the not so scary, but scarier than the last movie is The Haunting, 1963. We talk about the general stillness of the movie and the use of sound in the place of movement. And how to not do science while performing science.

These anti-trans Dems are saying "biological males" should be banned from girls sports because they know exactly how bad it sounds if they say "transgender girls" should be banned from girls sports. They're using "biological males" framing as a sort of self-justification and self-soothing.

"Trans people are a tiny group with no power" This isn't true, and I hope my trans readers can internalize this. You are more powerful than you think. Trans and gender expansive people are 2.34% of the US population in the latest survey. That is more than enough to swing a race.

Our 20-year-old mailbox finally gave up the ghost. So we had to lay it to rest in an unmarked grave in unconsecrated ground so that it will rise again in the light of the full moon. But maybe a night sooner. Spooooky

When I was a small child, I knew who I was. I was five. My parents weren't the ones who determined who I was. When I started showing who I was, my father made sure to beat it out of me. Now, I love my deceased father, but that love came at a price.
I mean that if I had firmly shut the door closed, and left the closet behind, things would have been different even if they were worse between my father and I. I would rather have had us both go our separate ways than the closet I went back into and him still hate me anyway.
The moral of the story is, you can't go back, nostalgia is the mind killer and you can't fix everything. Make your choices and move forward because there is no other chance, no other life to do it again. Make it count, fight for it.

I still bear the scars of the beatings, physically and mentally. But I didn't "turn trans" because he beat me, in fact I thought in my 20s that just maybe I caused the beatings by not standing up for who I was rather than letting him beat me into denying myself.
I kept thinking, "Maybe he wouldn't have hated me so much if I had just been the girl I was supposed to be." My ex-wife completely mistook that sentiment to mean I thought being a girl would have made him happy. It wasn't at all what I was saying.
I miss being out of school for summer. I still had to work in fields but at least I got to be chased by black racers and drink hot soda. Fun times. If I could do it all over again, I'd likely do the same thing, but as me and not the masc. Time is a real bitch.
Following this KKK asshole will get you blocked.

Oh my god, it's live! Alanis Morissette has released her new version of 'Rest' with Trans Voices as a single! Performing this with her was surreal and beautiful, and I can't wait to share more when her new album drops in November: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaiC...
HP series is hitting a lot of problems and fighting rehashing a book series so entirely wrung out. So suddenly JK is in the news harming trans women to get her series in the news. This cycle is entirely predictable. Every fucking time.

I wish you'd known my mom. Then you wouldn't be wondering "where the fuck does she get this from?" And you could place the blame where it rightfully belongs. You'd have loved her.

The dumbest version of what overfunding the cops looks like. So, it's a drone but with a guy who barely or may not have passed high school flying it. To what effect? Why he can follow someone for 20 minutes, then land and walk back to the department after his loses the "perp".
Rule temporarily suspended while cops learn a valuable and hilarious lesson
Gee, not a trans woman, not a Brown or Black person. Just a white boy radicalized by a government and oligarchs paying billions of dollars in propaganda to create exactly this issue.
Feeding the machine, pieces of yourself. Coal to burn in an altar of iron.

Sometimes I will watch a series several times before coming to a real conclusion on my thoughts about it. The main characters in What We Do in the Shadows are my personified emotions. Not sure exactly what that says about me, but it is what it is.
Getting a gift related to me and my wife's relationship is either hetro-coded and awkward or lesbian but sexually charged AND hetro-coded. Nice, good thing there are choices out there.

I wonder if they will make a movie about this time. A white cishet businessman, looking at a list and looking thoughtfully at his workers, the LGBTQ people, Black people, Brown people and finding ways to keep them from the camps. Probably name it something simple, Norton's List.

I wrote for @thenation.com about why people need to stop acting as though the dramatically escalating bigotry on display in US politics is just an unserious sideshow.
I'm kind of in love with Clea DuVall. I will not be taking questions at this time.
I checked to make sure she wasn't on Bsky, whew that would have been super embarrassing. I really don't think before I post things sometimes.

"Making trans women suffer is not going to help anyone. It's not going to make women the tiniest bit safer." Jo Clifford here talks about her own experiences with hospital treatment and how new regulations will harm trans people without making anyone else any safer. She's absolutely right.

Richard Riehle has played in so many things, but perhaps my favorite is a lesser known role as Dr. Will Gruber in The Man from Earth (2007). He seemed like a kind man and his roles will go on to keep him in our memories long after his death.

Anti-trans ads are just not working this year, according to Republicans' former House Speaker Dade Phelan. βWeβre just not paying attention to the issues that matter,β he said, and said that the ads were "Not resonating." Subscribe to support our journalism.

BMB is moving to Mondays! Well has moved. This week was about Church Grims!
This week Beth tells us about Church Grims and the various forms they take as well as their special (and again varied) roles they had in the churchyard. This is an overlap of Christianity and Paganism at its best! #betweenmythandbelief #churchgrim #guardiansofthegraves #calendaroftheweird
