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.

so the xx/xy group plan to 'protect women's sports' by infiltrating supporters' sections, whining online about being called names, then posting photos and trying to dox teams' most passionate fans? at this point not treating them like a hate group akin to the proud boys or kkk is willful ignorance.

I haven't said anything here because I have too MUCH to say, like a whole essay's worth of thoughts and feelings, and that's a lot to subject you all to—plus All You Can Ever Know is one of the many books affected by the sale, and I've been told nothing. I am, to be real, sick with anxiety over it.

I simple request I have is for people putting events on Instagram to put the city that they're in in the description/on the flyer! Instagram's algorithm shows me events from all over the country and half the time I have to go digging to find out WHERE actually they are being held.

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

rangemedia.coMeasure to require "biological sex" verification for all WA girls’ sports athletes on November ballotIf passed, the hedgefund-millionaire-backed ballot measure would enact one of the nation’s strictest examination requirements for girls’ athletics.

My problem is that I was born with the Takes Everything Too Seriously curse and there seems to be no cure.

hey if you're a person who has money this is a good place to put it and know that it will actually directly help a trans person doing good shit in the world!

Our budget this year is smaller than it has been in recent years due to Patreon churn; if you'd like to help fund an additional no-strings-attached grant, visit genderpodcast.com/donate or contact us. Thank you! ❤️

The 12th(!) Gender Reveal grant cycle is now open for applications! As always, these funds are for organizing / community projects led by trans people of color. We are particularly interested in funding existing projects that materially support trans folks, queer people of color, immigrants, etc.

I think this is a failure of the film, though. Malcolm Harris and John Carreyrou have been pushing back against this because this framing of “knowing the human” is inherently sympathetic and it achieves this by ignoring so many of the hard facts. For one, she chased that public attention.

New: We found cops who kept using Flock to spy on women after they left the force. One used it for five years after retirement, tracking his wife during a custody battle. Another ran searches while he was suspended (and later fired) after killing a 15-year-old boy. Free to read: wapo.st/3UEwWU7

wapo.stTheir police jobs ended. They kept using Flock’s vast surveillance network.Flock employees urged the company to adopt stronger security after a 2024 breach. The company continued to allow practices that left its network vulnerable to unauthorized users.

I just think you should not be allowed to post things like “why aren’t we Americans burning shit down like the French” if you are doing literally nothing to organize or support any kind of action or mutual aid or anything whatsoever.

Every time I see a terrible AI designed sign for a restaurant I turn into Hugo the health inspector from Bob’s Burgers. “Attention to detail MATTERS Bob! First an inaccurate poster? Then what? Disregard for sanitation? Reusing old food? Where does it end???”

Just randomly thinking about the time I showed up to a meeting in LA dressed in, I thought, cool professional business casual, and the secretary looked me up and down and said, in the most Mean Girls way possible: "were you just... on a hike?"

Pretty exhausting to continuously see "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism" be turned into "I actually should be able to do whatever I want without considering the ethics of it at all."

Went to the PWHL theme San Jose Sharks game last night and the woman in front of me was wearing a fucking XX/XY TERF shirt and sweatshirt and I nearly caused a fucking scene.

I am absolutely here for folks dunking on Newton being like "I simply must return to the Nazi child porn website to be able to do my job" and would love to see those dunks extend to all the people saying "I simply must use the Nazi TERF newsletter platform to do my job."

It's really incredible how quickly Democrats go from quoting "First They Came" to being like "well actually it's fine to throw trans people under the bus and how dare you say you might not vote for me????"
