I just… this is so horrible. So inhumane. We are who we are. Om mani padme hum

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit. An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans. It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling. Subscribe to support our journalism.

“I may not like nsbm message but those instrumentals are 🔥“ “yea I separate the art from the artist” says the shithead black metal fan justifying listening nazi black metal. That’s not how that works assholes. Like death spell omega might be very interesting, but their vocalist is a finnish nazi…

You’re trying to justify it. I don’t understand the difficulty. I gave up Ben and Jerry’s until they get their independence again #freebenandjerrys . That is painful lol. Am I going to shame the fent addict who uses their snap to satiate that weird craving for ice cream on heroin and fent? No, I kno

There’s levels to this kind of thing. Am I gonna shame the disabled who has to order kitty litter from Amazon? No! Not a shaming an actor because I don’t want to “annoy” them for working on JKR’s ip who puts her wealth towards trans genocide? Go fuck yourself.

“Too annoying” because I don’t want the r-slur normalized? I am trans autistic person who is in community with many people with disabilities some intellectual, why tf would I give a shit about whether I’m “annoying” powerful people? Don’t pretend it’s ok, you know it ain’t that’s why…

The moment I feel seen only because the guy at the bodega can tell I’m trans as he struggles to correct himself from when he misgendered me. Just the knowledge I don’t come off as a man feels huge. It will never be enough, of course. Tonight it feels like salve to the invisibility I usually feel.

Well friends, neighbors, sangha… our city might get invaded by a criminal regime. Make the military feel unwelcome or show compassion but tell them we don’t want them and they don’t have to follow unconstitutional orders. Wrathful compassion. #warravagedportland #wegotthis Om mani padme hum

I just had a 12-13yo white kid riding through a park on a crotch rocket yell at me to “suck my penis, n-slur (hard r)”. I’m white. He’s either going to get his ass kicked, hurt a tiny kid or get arrested. Maybe more than one. There’s a standoff with a guy at mall 205. He’s in the rafters lol.

1. On Tuesday, Congresswoman Sarah McBride gave a interview with Ezra Klein at the New York Times. It has been used to seed the ground for a rightward shift in the Democratic Party on trans rights. Some allies have failed to grasp the problems with her approach. Here's what McBride gets wrong.

This is so incredibly disappointing. Perhaps, “sorry I said something about your appearance, that was but not as low as a transphobic bad loser like you desperately clinging to relevance.” I fixed it for you Simone. Like ffs. 🤦‍♀️

I’m surprised by many leftists who uncritically believe PRC reports of Tibet that paint them as barbaric and backward; it’s like Julius Cesar describing the tribes of the British isles or American manifest destiny of genocidal “reeducation” of the indigenous in residential schools. They do not see

The land grab because it’s communist I guess. Meanwhile the west has painted Tibet and Tibetan people as spiritual noble savages, and everyone is chilling in yak milk beer and om mani padme hum. As if they can’t be capable of war, cruel social hierarchy that is feudal-like. It seems quite nuanced.

Tibetan ruling elites were vassals to the Manchu dynasty. They were able to have self determination and self governance. If it was “liberation” and not just an imperialist land grab, wouldn’t PRC give them real autonomy? Why would the PRC destroy religious monasteries, statues and stupas?

“i would rather be around nazis more than leftists who might roast me if i have an ignorant opinion” is really telling on yourself & your priorities. “nazis gonna nazi” is not, in fact, a sensible coherent political take unless you are somehow apathetic towards nazism.

I feel like I’m crashing out. I want to help but I feel like I don’t know how, nobody tells me how but i feel expected to know, and even if I knew how, nobody wants my help or presence. i *feel* like I’m drowning. I want to die all the time. I don’t know what to do. I can’t do this alone forever.

With a name like Palantir, the crystal ball with a main line to Sauron, really gives the impression Peter Theil sides with the bad guy, and sooo dystopian in this context. A cruel joke. Almost a middle finger.

Now that Medicaid and social security is getting gutted and they’re going to expect the disabled to work for anything, I can tell you that I have been treated horribly for my disability being fired twice because of my autistic symptoms without even a real conversation about accommodation.

Do not want us and will exploit us for tax purposes while giving us no hours. To say we can “just go to work” is absurd on its face. It’s hard to immigrate anywhere too because of systemic ableism. So awesome 😡🤬😡

Hey Vancouver, WA and the 3rd Washington district- tell Marie Gluesenkamp Perez to go fuck herself for censuring Al Green. No dem politician in the pnw voted to censure Green but her. We should have more that actually stood up with Green. I know the pnw urge to freeze is strong, but sometimes yall…

I don’t even play sports, but the amount of fit reactions masquerading as “science” is wild. Like complaining about a trans girl on puberty blockers, so she still has a pre or mid pubescent body, has some edge on high school girls? How does that make sense accept to be sexist, trans misogynistic, &…

Roxy Amused
@roxyamused.bsky.social

Willfully ignorant? Not even considering how developed or undeveloped, boys are just inherently better at sports and trans women aren’t “real women”. They don’t care or understand trans care or how our bodies grow, just a gut reaction in the guise of “science” and “logic”. A genocide over sports.

Why do I enjoy fucking with transphobes? Goading them? Getting them to call me an ugly tranny & failed porn actress, report everything and ask if they want me to cum on their face so they block me. I don’t necessarily like the abuse, but it’s interesting to tease out. Doesn’t take much. Ableism too.

Does anyone know why synth manufacturers of standalone synths don’t add modulation for resonance without a matrix? Like every filter module I have has a res cv but every standalone and even most semi-modular synths have no resonance cv. Kinda weird because it’s awesome.

Never heard this. Horrifying. I do know they exploit the unhoused and those with SUD who come for shelter and help by forcing work 8hrs a day, 6 days a week with sundays for church. Do not give money to the “salvation” army.

Annual reminder that the Salvation Army let a woman freeze to death on their doorstep because she was trans. Do not give money to them.

The acquittal of Jordan Neely’s murderer makes me feel so many bad feelings. Anger, fear, sadness… it’s just horrifying. I think the legions of Americans cheering his killer are especially terrifying.
