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

This is just purity politics for people who are against criticizing Dems for being evil to minorities

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Parents are poisoning their children because they know what's best for them. People are selling poison to children because it comes from an animal, how can it be dangerous, it's natural? The state is abdicating its prerogative to regulate food because the cranks cannot stop poisoning children.

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

erininthemorning.comKilling of Woman May Have Been Justifiable Because She Was Trans, Tennessee Court RulesThe case is a bitter reminder of the ways LGBTQ people have had their identities weaponized by the courts in the past, most notoriously through a legal defense tactic known as gay or trans “panic.”

all these guys think they have the best idea for narrative fiction and it's just "a fantasy that fulfills all my wishes with no friction or stakes"

I don't think it's a coincidence that so much discourse around marginalized people tends to revolve around how some of them CAN conform. They focus on ace people who like to have sex, autistics who are "high functioning," lesbians who have sex with men, non dysphoric trans people. This is presented

I am reminded of the edict, "Become ungovernable."

The mainstream conventional wisdom in both cases is that people who are anti-AI or pro trans marginalized themselves by being too far outside the mainstream. My alternative hypothesis is that both trans activists (particularly mainstream adjacent orgs) and anti-AI people were too easy to ignore.

People can communicate incredibly abstract concepts, experiences, emotions etc. That this tool is seemingly beyond description suggests it is incomparable with anything in human experience or is unmoored from any specific utility or has robbed its users of the wherewithal to complete such a task

I think a lot about why Wendy Carlos’ albums are out of print and her wonderful website is now reserved for having a friend of hers tell people to leave her alone. It’s so fucking heart breaking what the world does to trans women

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

But I can't explain to someone who has no interest in art why someone would want to use specific artstyles, nor why someone would find that appealing. I love art from people who have something specific to express and to experience the feeling and texture of what that art evokes.

I could tell that Hedwig and Angela weren't on the same page about their relationship. Angela was really in love... Sadly, even though she herself didn't know this, Hedwig had already given her heart to Carherine, and there would be no closure with a dead woman. I love these messy bitches!

in your next zoom interview have not only a cup of ice coffee but seven or eight different cups of various beverages just off camera and casually drink from each of them throughout the interview the drinks should have fancy straws or colorful parasols or large pieces of fruit on the edge of the cup

If you think guillotines are too much, you clearly are too privileged to understand what the rest of us are going through. Look at the craven worm who proudly stands up against the oppressed minorities! How noble! How brave!

Left Behind and Glad of it@lefbehingladofit.bsky.social

There are several ways to do that sort of thing, but they involve things that I won't say here or anywhere. What do you want to do that doesn't involve guillotines?
