**TRANS RIGHTS** now then: teacher, classicist, TTRPG enthusiast and semi-pro GM, and a fair cook. Pro-LGBTQ, pro-DEIA, pro-CRT, antifascist, and uninterested in opinions to the contrary 💅🏻

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

what a fucking asshole

Mike Johnson's response to the birthright citizenship decision is amazing. "Well, that's been abused a lot in the past several years." Would he then be open to revisiting some 2nd amendment decisions? I'd say that's a part of the constitution that's been abused a bit of late

This is so straightforward that I don't see why Democrats by and large can't get behind it (well, yes I can: money and bad consultants) Transgender rights and protections do not run counter or interfere with providing a social safety net, healthcare, more housing and even guaranteed housing

advocate.comPramila Jayapal warns Democrats: Don't throw trans people under the busThe Congressional Progressive Caucus chair emerita from Washington says the party must pair economic populism with a full-throated defense of LGBTQ+ rights.

I'm not donating a cent or lifting a finger, outside of the voting booth, for any Democrat who doesn't sign a pledge in their own blood to 1) support transgender people's full rights unambiguously, 2) impeach DJT on day one, and 3) at a minimum, increase the Supreme Court to a new 7-6 left majority

Oh boy, I am playing Resident Evil VII for the first time and have yelped and jumped several times during this opening bit but the first boss just got a kill move in and my response was legitimately

Don't talk about being manly or eating meat. The people who have time to care about that aren't deciding this election. Talk about Republicans stealing immigrants' and women's and trans people's rights. Talk about guaranteed healthcare. Talk about saving this state from their abuse.

I was just thinking about the number of 2000s and 2010s clickbait cliches I see coming up in LLM-generated text. Is this the image we created AI in? Did we produce so much cheap copywriting and SEO text that that's one of the major influences on these models?

Like, there IS a floating island of plastic in the pacific that's now (gasp) twice the size of Texas, and it's not like that's been there ALL that long (the history of plastic certainly creates a terminus post quem for its appearance)

Trump's DHS Secretary said, “For some reason, ICE has been demonized.” ICE murdered two of my constituents in broad daylight and terrorized Minnesota. The American people want us to stop bankrolling more terror from this rogue agency. Abolish it.

That sure didn't take long. Bring Tesla to Texas, they said. Great move for the state and its people, they said

Traces of a carcinogen and an environmental poison are two of the contaminants found in a ditch where Tesla’s lithium refinery discharges wastewater, testing commissioned by Nueces County, Texas officials found.

Child protective services ripped a 14-year-old from her home to stop her from leaving the state for an abortion. They also threatened her mother with murder charges and the removal of her other child if they crossed state lines for care. So please don't tell me Republicans aren't banning travel.

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

We cannot have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

“But you don’t understand, they hate us and belittle us.” Have you left them alone? “No, we call them demonic and disgusting and make up lies about them and create laws to control their lives.” I see.

Protesters staged noise demo through the rich Seattle neighborhood of #Laurelhurst that lobbied against noisy helicopters flying sick and injured kids over their mansions to Children's Hospital. 🤪 It got a bit noisy.

They put one of yours in the hospital, you put out a statement about how disappointed you are. That’s the centrist way.

Apparently there are real people arguing that AI will IMPROVE our idea of a “shared reality” because they think AI tells everyone the same things. People have no fucking idea how this technology even works (or, I’d argue, doesn’t)

Maybe this can be the end of all the comments I've heard about how "trans people went too far" and that's why DJT won the 2024 election. No, YOU think they went too far because you are transphobic. Look who isn't 👇🏻
