"i can't believe you don't like that politician just because you disagree over ~one single thing~" & then the one single thing is whether minorities should have human rights

If women submitting to men was a natural way of being, they would not have needed laws, religion & violence to get them to do it.

@caseyexplosion.bsky.social I picked up Nine Sols purely on your recommendation and just finished a 100% run. First metroidvania I’ve played in, like, 15 years, and I loved it.

people who would never in their life make fun of someone for having a facial feature they don’t like will happily point and laugh at someone with ‘uncorrected’ teeth “you should have bought expensive cosmetic treatments, loser”

Marriage equality isn't achieved until disabled people can marry without losing their benefits.

I get the sentiment, but this doesn’t hold up if you think about it. The past isn’t just MEMORY. I get that it’s implying trauma, but the past also provides us information we can use to guide us into the future. Past provides context for what is happening and helps make predictions.

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

40 years ago, the Love Boat featured a transgender character, and it turns out the character ends up treated better by the media then than a lot of what you see today. No calls for cancelling the program, no conservative media outcry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgkW...

Dollie the Doc is my best friend She salvages my parts from the trash can #WorldOfWarcraft #FNAF

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

I started writing when I decided to do a fan-adaptation of #Dorley to screenplay. Now, I've been accepted to the Irish National Film School at IADT for screenwritingIt's a big-deal!) But I'm €6k short. Started a GoFundMe. Not just a dream. Safety. Please help if you can. gofund.me/5727be1e

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

The assassination of members of the party who is not in power is the declaration of open season on the perceived electoral minority. It is fundamentally necessary to engage in all-out opposition party tactics. Things will not get better.

My father, @dwstill.bsky.social, is on BlueSky. People, please annoy him so that he knows it’s worth being here!

We will look back on this period of history and everyone will tut at how this could never have been them, and we will learn nothing.

I just watched The Substance a couple nights ago, and I think there’s a lot that could be explored in that movie’s view on gender roles.

These fascists are a danger to all of us on the road.

Sigh. I feel for parents, I really do. Masking kids is hard, especially when theres institutional and peer pressure not to. But once your kid is sick with long covid, there is no going back. Maybe not ever. www.news week.com/why-are-so-many-children-getting-long-covid-2080950

I honestly wish I could help with the protests, but I’m not in great physical shape. I’d just be a liability.

If anyone you know is 13-24, in the US, and is LGBTQ+, please have them complete the Trevor Project survey this year. Their last survey has been integral to protecting LGBTQ+ rights globally. I can't understate how big an impact it has. Multiple publications come from the data. Share widely.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

Gender is bad, gender is good… can they make up their damn minds? About the only thing that’s consistent with them is that they think trans people are evil.

Good reminder that the original Pride was a riot 🧱

How exactly is this a "litmus test for #MeToo" and not a litmus test for the justice system? Why is your expectation always that the party with less institutional and social power has to succeed to justify itself, but the party with the ability to do as it pleases in almost every instance doesn't?

Should have just gone with JohnnyCab

Did another interview where I was asked how I study disasters and stay "optimistic". This is very confusing for me because I am not optimistic. I am extremely pessimistic. I think people mistake my making jokes for being optimistic. The memes are a coping mechanism, guys. It's all very bad.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

corporations bailing on supporting lgbtq+ organizations out of fear of getting attacked by the trump admin is exactly why longtime activists have criticized the hollow corporatization of pride and advocated for grassroots pride events.

I was out for my daily walk and it struck me that there are so many Final Fantasy “color mages”, there ought to be a whole set of Pride Mages.

They should make an Elden Ring management game where you’re the mayor of Elden Ring and you have to run its gross economy of trading withered hands for amulets and so forth

JK Rowling recently used it in a tweet, which ought to tell you exactly where in its life cycle the word is.

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

the ghouls dismantling HIV research, medicaid, etc. aren't "out of touch," they're gloating because they're sadists who believe they will never face any consequences and have nothing but contempt for all human beings but themselves
