Today is my first day of classes in Canada! Moving out of Texas has been super expensive and exhausting, and a little financial help would be greatly appreciated to help me start off on the right foot for the semester. ko-fi.com/explorerrowan

Watching the old #Babylon5 pilot on YouTube. It is *wild* that this ever got made. The acting is so stiff; it's like none of the actors have ever done sci-fi before, so they say all the sci-fi terms hesitantly, like they're constantly expecting confirmation from off-screen, "Did I say that right?"

The blood of dead trans children stains the hands of every cis person.

The reason it’s like this is because republicans latched onto it as a way to make fun of democrats and instead of standing up for us the party had collectively dragged their feet or actively resisted helping us. Talarico is running partially in a platform that would ban the care I saw in Texas.

Someone’s gonna come on this and say “no, republicans did this.” At the time Im talking the reason supportive parents even had the option to get that care for there kids was conservative judges in Houston who were parents rights. It wasn’t a bipartisan issue in the same way it is today.

There was so much to hope for being trans in 2011 even in Texas and it’s all gone, it’s all gone because every cis person decided to shouldn’t exist. It is collectively their fault that we don’t have a kinder world, and that the kids that need this care will in many cases die from lack of it 

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

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

How it feels right now

keep fighting.

This is the third person today to suggest that my equality as a human and an American citizen was a gift bestowed upon me by Democrats as opposed to an unaliable condition inherent to all people.

Something I wish more people would realize.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

nazis: we hate trannies. liberals: nuh-uh. we hate them way more. vote for us!

so many fucking people are basically just going "please be a political sacrifice for us" it's actually devastating

From Reagan E. Thomas: If Ken Paxton succeeds in forcing Harris County to vacate a court order protecting the poor, the courts could be flooded with so many low-income defendants that they'd need to construct a new jail.

"A.i." is for fascism and fraud.

The whole world no longer smells like cigarettes.

I love the opening of Star Trek “Shore Leave” when Kirk thinks Spock is massaging his lower back but it’s actually the yeoman, and he’s not happy when he realizes it’s not Spock. #Spirk

When I was a kid, I constantly daydreamed about doing animation, and I was bitterly envious of kids on TV doing rubbish animations with 8mm film cameras. And now it's so easy and cheap for young people to have a go. Not everyone has a smartphone or a laptop, but it's SO much more accessible now.

When I was a kid, if someone got leukaemia the odds were that they wouldn't make it. Now, some strains are +90% survivable. Oh, and cervical cancer and probably some other types too can be drastically reduced thanks to vaccines.

If you didn't have any other reason to resist AI, though to be clear there are many good ones, the fact that AI's biggest promoters promise that it will usher in a more racist, misogynistic, and oligarchical world order would be enough.

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

🧵 Elon Musk has donated a staggering $369M to influence the 2026 elections, making him the largest individual political donor in modern US history. And yet, he continues to invoke George Soros as a shadowy force secretly manipulating elections and the world as we know it. Let’s take a closer look.

Billions spent scraping data all over the internet over multiple years, still can't get the fingers right. Also "wait months to prototype" reveals this was made by an executive position tosspot who doesn't do any real work, games aren't made by just "waiting" Nothing will come of this but trash.
