I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

And now back to my full time job, texting the word "stop" to every living Democrat.

If the real priority was actually protecting girls from actual men who pose a risk to them in sports, it would make much more sense to advocate for banning male coaches and male doctors. And I’ve never, ever ever heard that suggestion, because that’s not really what this is about.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Ever notice "abusers can grow and change" uniformly comes from people who haven't actually checked if someone grew or changed? It's like a magic wand of sentiment they wave over harm.

The current dilemma for most creatives now is that you need to share work online for your business to survive but if you do, it will immediately be stolen and replicated by AI and it's quite possible your business won't survive that

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

Does the Democratic Party really think we want (no joke) 40 texts over three days for races in state we do not live in? Does this work? Does anyone like this?

Speaking as a ✡️, we should not call the Israelis stealing Gaza land and homes, settlers. They are colonizers, and in many ways, terrorists. It would be nice if the media called them what they are, which we would do with any other group.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

mickey and pee wee are so fucking cute together and im not even sad mickey ends up rejecting him for his own safety, its sweet he has that awareness

he was so polite and good at what he did. we both came from the same home state. i hope he reaches stability somewhere safe. i never got the chance to say goodbye. i keep replaying the last interaction i had with him and its gutting me, it was so benign. he must have been so stressed out.

i asked what the contigency plan is in the event that ice shows up at any of our sites and the answer was 'we dont have one' and then they shrugged and moved onto the next topic. in other news, i slamdunked two interviews with a competitor this week and will be getting an offer soon so

Approximately two-thirds (66%) of white Americans supported racially segregated schools in the 1940s. By 1995, This figure reversed, with 96% white respondents agreeing that white and Black children should attend the same schools. It's quite obvious that we have to take actions first and care...

I feel like "hey, bigots fucking lie a lot and parsing their pronouncements to try and figure out their motivations is fucking pointless" is underrated as a life lesson. Also "their motivations don't matter if you commit to stopping rather than persuading them."

Replying to @bullwark.bsky.social

Were at a point where a plurality of people in power are just openly cartoonishly evil, not a difference of opinion, but like "not kicking puppies is woke liberal bullshit" degree of stupid, insane evil and the other main group meant to save us are busy going "whats if we only kicked 1 or 2 puppies"

the idea phase is the easiest and least valuable part of professional creativity. read the first draft of the first Star Wars if you doubt me Great art is made in the grinding, often miserable collision between the ethereal substance of an idea and the mud and blood and friction of reality

just remembered how many times children were abandoned at my store when i worked for disney, often to the point where the actual cops (not mall cops) had to be called after closing. one little girl wasnt even upset, she looked like she was used to it. fucked up

also drug testing as a default requirement is the shittiest, most humiliating thing. oh youre desperate for a job? pee in this cup for a stranger even if you know youre cleabln. it creates an imbalance in that workplace automatically.

if you do a background check on someone and previous drug-related offenses are found, by all means, test away. dont fucking require every joe schmo off the street to relinquish biologic matter just for the opportunity to be a wageslave.

my other controversial health ins opinion is that if were required to insure ourselves out of pocket, we should be allowed to charge for biological materials taken during drug tests. you want my piss? $5000. thats from my body i have to pay to protect.

I think this might genuinely have a serious cultural component. White society is built around intricate social rules that mostly serve to maintain a status quo in which bad behavior is over looked in favor of preserving stable social networks. What we're seeing is those networks breaking down. 1/

Which is evidence of a basic inability to build solid relationships IMO. Because nobody has to fucking like you. There’s no imperative to like anyone!

As a white kid in a liberal state, my childhood education in public school on civil rights was extremely reverent of MLK jr, and mentioned Malcolm X as “this other guy who believed in violence anyway let’s move on.” And my adulthood has been a process of unpacking who made that curriculum and why.

Sandy Hendry@sandyhendry.bsky.social

Martin Luther King was much more successful than Malcolm X for example. Before that, there was no need for a bloody civil war in most countries that abolished slavery. Just votes. Independence can also be bloodless. Gandhi in India, Walesa in Poland, Mandela in South Africa. The list is long.

the right to use public restrooms. the right to get IDs and passports. the right to access medical care, our doctors are being threatened with arrest if they write us prescriptions or consult with us for surgeries. which of your rights are under attack cis het boy?

Captain Logbottom@captainlogbottom.bsky.social

What rights? You know, I happen to live under the same political parties and have had rights taken and impinged upon. If you’re going to come into my space and accuse me of heinous beliefs and acts, yet won’t say what they are, my instincts tell me to not go along with it and ask for clarification

we got here because we relinquished the responsibility of telling people to their face they are unintelligent and antisocial. the eradication of the Bitch in society has caused it all to come undone.

genuinely so bleak to see Americans responding to the protests in France with the exact same racist, reactionary politics of faux concern over property damage that led to the Black-led protests here in 2020 losing steam, like congrats you internalized the right wing propaganda, Fox News won
