posted this a year ago today and way too many cis people still seem to have not gotten the message
right wing bigots have admitted - the “trans women in bathrooms” issue - the “trans women in sports” issue and - the “trans kids getting surgery” issue were all MADE UP TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY are you paying attention?

popping in briefly to say the only reason this is ever a discourse is bc western nerd/geek/fandom subculture broadly does not have a frame of reference or cultural comparison/trope (YET) of "female nerd who has a deep artistic and Libidinal obsession with f/f". from the recent gal x gal chapter :
The "yuri is male gaze" debate becomes gut-bustingly hilarious once you realize that, more often than not, the genre is created by female mangaka sitting at their desks like:

omfg thank you it is SO much safer to have center contraflow bike lanes in areas like this where they can go onto dedicated bike intersections, instead of having them cut across from the right side for turns. They're the obvious solution but it's exceptionally rare around here
Contraflow bike lanes are a cheat code for navigating city streets and calm traffic by narrowing extra wide travel lanes. This new lane in #bikeDC at 13th and South Carolina SemE has been on my list for a decade and it's finally here!

I'm addition, it's not just to sell democrats to queers, it's to sell "democrats love queers" to cishets. it's straight up pinkwashing. rainbow flag ai-powered genocide. trans people say fuck no and we get tossed out on our asses for it. and we still say fuck no.
every "pride" Democrat org: "For party leadership, the caucus is simply a recruitment and sales team. The job, in their eyes, is not to represent the LGBTQ+ community to the party, but to sell Democratic candidates to the LGBTQ+ community, regardless of the harm those candidates may cause."
And people wonder why there's such a massive gender disparity in positions of power, why cis men dominate academia... Ask yourself why survivors should be expected to leave to protect themselves, over the predators that made the environment unsafe
if you don't want old rapists making laws it's time to start getting rapists kicked out of colleges and the administators who cover for them fired. You have to actually stop them from gaining power in the first place.

See this only works if your ideological priorities that people are disagreeing on aren't things like "I deserve to be alive and healthy". MAGA republicans want to take away my access to the literal only medication that made my body work well enough to participate in society again.
The best cure for ideological bias is find someone on the other side and go to lunch with them. Sometimes we disagree about facts. Sometimes we disagree about values. Figuring out which is which is fun part. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/my-libertarian-friends-were-right

they've convinced themselves that being a politician is gainful employment and "old people need to get back into the workforce" is their excuse for not retiring when they're on death's door
Republican Congressman Mike Collins signals his intent to end Social Security: "[Old people need to] get off of Social Security [and] get back into the workforce."
physical fitness is not required to perform a TSA security checkpoint agent's job, this is ableist as fuck, and I hope they get sued into oblivion over this by current TSA employees
TSA says it is removing chairs at document checks in airports, requiring staff to stand for their shift. TSA explained the reason as twofold: to ensure its employees meet its fitness standards and to create an amiable environment for travelers.

rotting potatoes smell remarkably similar to dead mice. i know this because mice sometimes die in the vents at my dad's house and every time we thought we smelled a dead mouse at my mom's, it turned out to be a rotting potato buried in the back of the pantry
I was not prepared for how much of adulting is trying to figure out what That Smell is. Not the trash can. Not the other trash can. (Took them out.) Not the garbage disposal, the dishes, or the cat box. (Cleaned them all.) Aha, it’s a rogue potato that decided to liquefy itself in the cabinet! 🥔
