People posting things with an unrelated cute or cool image is a way to increase visibility on certain platforms. It can be fun for people to post something about their life, and then go "and here's a picture of my cat" But now i'm seeing people post AI Slop there, and it makes me sad.

No one should ever donate to through @actblueorg.bsky.social ever. Someone said that this is the political equivalent of a one night stand and getting herpes. They can't opt me out of individual campaigns, but they keep giving my information to new campaigns - and there's no way to stop that.

How does one simply observe and point out very real instances of transphobic public policy by this administration, and in the states without having cis people assume we are overreacting and behaving irrationally. Or even be believed. I feel rather defeated.

I have seen actual real people I know, take statements made by trans friends about things going on in the world, and then twist those statements into extremist caricatures. This is real stuff, and not from bots or anonymous people online, but from friends and acquaintances that would be allies.

A sitting president said that a foreign nation should destroy two major American cities, that this would be a small price to pay, and the audience (that he selected) cheered. What the fuck even is this timeline.

Ever think about the fact that there used to be whackjob conspiracy theories that the government was spying on you through your television. And now it's a real thing. Except instead of government searching for traitors, it's corporations seeking out marketing data about you.

Hot take: I think that people saying "gender is socially constructed" has done more real and actual harm to to the trans community as a whole than it has ever helped anyone understand anything. In fact, I think the popularization has made people understand social constructs less

I think that I have settled on my opinion of strange new worlds. The silly and gimmick episodes aren't really bad... It's just we have 10 episodes in a season. For dinner I'm being given a one ounce steak, a teaspoon of potato, and an entire cake. Cake is good but I don't want that much cake.

I thought of a fiction idea I haven't seen. Take the time travel style where the traveler goes back in time by inhabiting your body at some previous point in your past, and can relive experiences with future knowledge. Except an event happens to make this happen to EVERYONE.

It was 2026 and BAM it's now 1999. Everyone remembers everything that happened in the future, all the experiences, emotions, but they are currently living in 1999. People would know about things that ouldn't be created or happen. It would be dystopian.

If five percent of the people at an event are cops, it makes for a bad time. Just standing in the path of people walking, and not moving, standing there trying to be intimidating. For no reason. They act like bouncers that think they need to keep people in line, not helpers keeping you safe.

There's a big problem with pointing at trans men winning in women's sports or going to women's bathrooms by going "this is what you asked for, you hypocrite!" It's not hypocracy, these are slow incremental restrictions to getting rid of trans rights entirely. They have explicitly said this.

Its funny. I transitioned in the 1990s. Back then resources were few and far between, but what was there tended to be middle aged individuals. My therapist had a support group, and she sent me to the local TV/TS group to meet people (yeah, that's what it was back then)

Fast forward to today, and people are talking about subreddits for people my age. They are once again filled with folks just starting out whose life experiences and issues are foreign to me. This time I relate to the 20 year olds, because I remember that. They are also decades younger than me.

Being a racist, fascist, piece of trash that lashes out at everyone aggressively is not a normal pre-transition thing to do. It's not a transfem rite of passage, most trans women didn't do that. If you went through that, it's all on you and your choices of spaces to be.
