Apparently some random US nonprofit made up fake data about our elections, likely AI, a british philosopher posted some of it and now it's blowing up on this site. How lovely.

Gringos stop posting misinformation about Brazil challenge (difficulty level: impossible)

é simples NUNCA MAIS engajar conteúdo só por que tá indignado

Trabalhadores e trabalhadoras do Brasil, uni-vos. Nós merecemos respeito.

Tenho rigidez cognitiva e não me adaptarei a um novo governo então é sobretudo uma questão de saúde e por isso estou com Lula 🤝

O "exército do lula" tem uma vibe extremamente de seita (tom elogioso)

Folks are getting mad about this and- a statement can be true in the literal words of it and still be deployed in harmful ways. Like, yeah, it's true, I was trans before I medically transitioned. But that wasn't the question I needed answered or asked. I needed to be asked if I was *happy*.

"what juniper said was awful" correct "and she is lying about posting impulsively or in anger because it's impossible to type things impulsively the way you'd blurt something out irl" oh god we're cooked. we're ngmi.

Traditional center-left parties that have ever successfully outflanked the center-right and were rewarded for it: 1 (one), up from yesterday's record of 0 (zero).

The NYT story is a great example of NYT making informing readers subordinate to pushing their agenda. If you read it carefully, it's clear that Democrats have largely decided to counter attack by saying Rs are obsessed with trans issues and neglecting things that impact ordinary Americans.

I will just say that there is not nearly the volume of straight liberals crawling over one another telling us cis gay people to shut up and get over it when some shithead straight Dem makes homophobic Lindsey Graham or Trump/Putin jokes

Brasil número 1 campeão do mundo

Thinking about how Brazil's electoral administration is so sophisticated and independent that Bolsonaro's only means of combatting it was to (try to) sow distrust in his own reelection. Institutions, people.

Hi all, Bear God and I need help making ends meet over the next month or two. Partly this is because they've been out of work for the summer, so hopefully things will be better next month. We appreciate all boosts, shares, and donations. Thank you all so much! gofund.me/1e3a07810

I watched this video recently that discussed how goebbels stopped pushing for propaganda films early on and instead promoted comedies and romances bc those boosted moral and ppl were more susceptible to propaganda that way and now I cannot stop thinking about "let ppl enjoy things"

Tentar explicar algo complexo pacientemente para alguém com qual você literalmente concorda, e ser respondida como se fosse um debate, é uma experiência canônica de rede social (pelo menos se você for autista trouxa como eu)

A classe política brasileira odeia mulheres. Alguns mais, outros menos, mas odeia mulheres.

Lmaooooooooooo he was lds this whole time? Jail.

can you guys retire "the right wing / chuds don't know what to do with trans men and forget they exist and will be So Confused by them!!!!" already. they are fully aware trans men exist and the thing they do to trans men is violently abuse and murder them

My surgery has gone smoothly, however I've been hit with an unexpected surcharge of 1.3k above the highest prior estimate. It really sucks to be in financial straits while in recovery, so I'm reopening my fundraiser. Please help if you can gofund.me/2bd9ebd3a

yeah we gotta just ban the short form video platforms if they exist to blenderize loosely understood concepts from sociology and history into conspiracy-brained rants about how starbucks exists to neuter the revolutionary class

Things like seemingly harmless NYT consumption are big deals to trans people because transphobia, despite being intense and escalating these days, is an oppression often rendered invisible. Trans people are used to being abandoned by cis people, so even small abandonments have an impact.

I want to preface this thread with a little bit about me. I read a ton of M/M when I was young. I grew up reading M/M books from authors like Anne Rice and Mercedes Lackey. So I am not a stranger to enjoying M/M, even though I now almost exclusively focus on books that center W/W romance.

My experience as someone that was nb -> trans woman was that people really wanted me to stay nb and not claim womanhood!

My main thing I've learned from being a feminist since I was a teen is that feminism isn't intuited by people who are negatively affected by sexism, it's hard worked through critical thought about the experience of sexism, and most people just refuse to learn that and default to prejudices about it.

Dudes with access to a web search posting en masse about how chuds don't like the Odyssey because it's about "hospitality and goodness" when the reality is that it's one of the earliest known works of nationalist masculine anxiety centered entirely around fear of the autonomy and power of women
