The Bicentennial Hog On Bluesky (She/they/Peach)

Now their descendants refuse to believe their beloved family members could really be racist enough to immiserate the country, the entire planet, just to hurt black people worse. No, it's just rich people brainwashing, no way gutter bigotry is grandma's bedrock politics bsky.app/profile/mc-h...

they're all on xitter and deep frying their brains with "the perfidious jew invented evil gender ideology to groom your kids through steven universe and make the white man a servant to israel" slop so insular they don't even realize how associating these two things looks to people on the outside

I can't emphasize enough how important this book has been to me in a difficult year.

Someone famous read aftertaste please lol Pls Pls it would be such a good bit if you, famous person, read my book and then posted about how it was great Wouldn't that be a funny funny bit?

The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard

I shared this earlier, because believe it or not I love giving good Democrats credit and sharing good news stories to hearten my trans audience. But it was a manipulated clip that left off the hateful part.

The owners of Elvis Presley’s music sued Anthropic, saying it trained its AI models on more than 200 of Presley’s songs without permission, accusing it of copyright infringement. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/a...

If you really thought that you'd credit Patrick Freyne, (@patrickfreyne.bsky.social) and you'd also be correct.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

I'm sorry, Democrats. I don't mean people, I mean I expect Democrats specifically to generally agree with me that I didn't have too many rights in 2020, and want to see them restored to at least that level.

I guess men are a protected group... protected by patriarchy! BOOM FEMINIST OF THE YEAR AWARD

A weird change that has taken place in my lifetime is that in the past, British racists were aware of what mixed-race people were and were furious about it, as opposed to the New Racism, which frequently seems actively confused by the birds and the bees.

My name is Jenny. I no longer answer to Tony. I know this is complicated. Jenny Blake is the name I write under. Jenny Blake Isabella will be my legal name. Tony Isabella is the name on my previous work. I haven't figured out how to change my email address yet. Complicated.

Tangential to the Cheesecake Factory talk is that their workers are genuinely elite tier 1 operators in the food service industry. I have a friend who manages bars and restaurants and he will instantly hire anyone with Cheesecake Factory experience. They are like the Marines minus the war crimes

You never know how you'll matter to them, but you make a difference worth making if even one person sees or hears you and it helps them even a tiny bit to be themselves too And, to do that, you have to have hope, and you have to be alive. They want us to be quiet and give up. Fuck. That.

I feel like I lived through proof that the world can change, and more recently that it can change back

Don Bluth, 89, reading on his template that Art Spiegelman is using AI. He chuckles: "Who's a thief now, you smug bastard"

scott galloway and jessica tarlov held an event here in town yesterday where “don’t impeach or waste time on investigations because ‘28” was the consensus position of the panel. so yeah, this is something to anticipate.

washington dc is not trump’s personal property and must be given statehood to prevent this kind of abuse in the future

Let's help Nyri get the gender-affirming surgery she needs!

Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now

Unfortunately there are people who care about trans people having rights who are not trans people themselves and I’m sure that the number will suddenly grow exponentially post election when candidates have lost and you’re looking for someone to blame that isn’t the candidates themselves

Although the EHRC’s new services code has specifically cited discomfort with someone’s appearance as a “legitimate” reason for enforcing the exclusion of trans people

"it's a social contagion" the insular british elite tells us as they drive themselves howlingly mad on fascist-owned media

One-sided de-escalation is not de-escalation.

I take the potential for internecine violence in this country very seriously. And I've tried to be careful with my rhetoric around this. But how long are we supposed to sit by and respond politely when the other side talks EXCLUSIVELY about killing or imprisoning our loved ones?

Ruin a book by adding one word: Fishy Aftertaste

it’s almost like ciswomen aren’t inherently athletically inferior to cismen and maybe the Trans Threat In Sports has been hallucinated by 37 bigots with bullhorns

Take advantage of this, I promise it's worth it. I'm fucking broke but whatever, I'd much rather just have people read and talk about my book than make money.

*nods* the working class is when big man swing hammer, got it.

THE BELL CURVE was popular among this crowd not because people were impressed with it's insight or rigorous scholarship but because it said something they had already believed to be true before the book was written

"AI" is a brand that is being actively marketed to us, shoved in existing apps, forced into use at work. So of course people use the term AI to complain about it. Nobody is talking about ML in science and research. When you "well actually" this, you're just being a useful idiot to billionaires.

Look, I’ve commented that a lot of woke one is being correctly left in the dustbin, but one of the things I wish we had saved is people even giving a perfunctory acknowledgment of pronouns, now nobody even pretends to care and I just gotta eat that
