Hours after my reporting, @wfaach8.bsky.social reports Chris Hilton is the lawyer representing Texas Transgender Student Union, the anonymous LLC that sent the transgender mailers to Texans. WFAA also reports Hilton said disclosing the identity of who created them would "cause harm." No citation :(

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

This thread comes to a close... ... as we now have a final result. Let the records show that, with 92% of the vote countywide, Lula is up 3.3%. (Can he end up doubling his 2022 margin?)

IT'S INSANE TO REMEMBER THAT SHE BECAME THIS BECAUSE EVERYONE SAID "LOL SOUNDS FAKE" TO THE FAKE STORY OF HER COUSIN'S BALLS EXPANDING TO THE SIZE OF BASKEBALLS BECAUSE OF COVID VACCINE.

It's bleak that Serious News Outlets will tie themselves into knots writing headlines that obscure the horrors of a story while @people.com just waltzes in and calls it like it is.

I'm a fox today actually

Halloween starting early! Got to dress up for a trunk or treat >:3

Again, this seems to be Republicans' big closing message for the midterms, so it's worth asking -- what the fuck are they talking about. Ask any parent with a kid in public schools if they'll so much as give them an Advil without written and signed permission. Then show them this insane shit.

This is exactly the right approach — openly mock the bigots as small-minded and cowardly and weak and proudly embrace diversity as a sign of our strength and success

reminder

I think Ossoff captures something that Newsom never did: the Dem base wants you to fight but they want real shit not goofy memes and too-online riffs

today is the only day you can post this

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

I'm not gonna report the NY ICE shooting video but yeah that's just a fucking car jacking. Jail these murders and abolish ICE.

If you're at NYCC, among all the other awesome Magic content, there are signed copies of the first edition of OMENS OF CHAOS at the Random House Worlds booth! They've been unwrapped, but they have their cards, and all cards have been verified as present and in excellent condition!

UB telling a story has been by far my biggest ask so I hope this lands!

minion.

I love everything about TGirl baseball and after chatting with @kissphoria.bsky.social on stream I want to start a western Mass chapter! Here's my interview with Gwen: youtu.be/AFOkSmCDot8

I've been saying this for a minute. If your candidate might be harmed by trans people not voting for them, then why aren't you calling your candidate?

Denying Catholic priests the ability to administer sacraments to Catholic prisoners is objectively insanely offensive to Catholicism in a way that almost nothing else could be

Moth 🔦 first picture in my October series!

Embarrassed, she initially didn’t want to report attack. Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office's investigation is ongoing. https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/congressional-candidate-is-raped-while-repairing-her-campaign-signs-40705248/

Cis people will never understand how much us trans girls have to worry about this

I am proud and joyful beyond measure to join my colleagues in this effort to forge a mighty union. We, the workers who make D&D and Magic: the Gathering, are organizing to keep two of the best games of all time healthy and strong. Solidarity forever <3

I was 10 years old when I Am Legend released and I was starting to get into more "adult" action movies. I asked my parents to take me to it and then had to leave halfway through cause I couldn't handle it 😭

I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should.

Midwest cat people:

the left has gotten sports, in its entirety, in the national divorce this is why bluesky is the official app of sports

There’s something to be said for how most of the political spectrum can unite around hounding some lesbians over niche drama in their spaces but huge segments of society are silent about pervasive campus rape impacting a huge population of primarily youngwomen

before the team changed its name, the Chicago Beaches were originally going to be the Chicago House. decided to play with the logo I was making.

Well, that's an easy way for me to drop this game. Forever.

if not friend why friend shaped

Ten years of relentlessly hateful, comically elitist anti-democratic politics across the white people world, helpfully summarised. The wrong people are talking, the wrong people are deciding and it’s harming the careers of important people who actually matter. Smithers! Release the hounds

interesting

Turns out healing salve only needs to gain you 9 and make energy to be insane

Chandra as inspired by the official MtG Japanese Twitter account. Wanted to doodle a lady in a suit #xochiart

I know “haha funny furries” but that’s a sitting US Senator standing next to a podium labeled “Transgenderism Is A Mental Disease” so I’m not really sure all these cis people should be crackin’ up here

I'm sorry but "we found a DNA sequence superficially resembling the one coding for CRISPR" is not actually a big discovery There are, like, millions of sequenced but uncharacterized enzymes out there
