The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

Wow, crazy how @ericsorensen.bsky.social doesn't care about reprehensible attacks on his colleague.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

There is no bottom for the Republican Party. It is a force for evil I’ve watched for my entire adult life (I’m almost 49). This is why I can’t stand calls for bipartisanship or demonstrations of the old boys and girls club. They’re fucking monsters who ruin the very fabric of society.

hot take: if you're running legacy apps in PHP, *immediately* have a frontier model port it to something like TypeScript or Rust the risk/reward ratio was pretty good even before yesterday! it's an atrocious language with terrible performance and security, don't keep doing this to yourself!

Wrote a thing about how it doesn't really matter whether Zuck shut down the No Kings Insta on purpose or if it was an accident. The problem is relying on him in the first place. www.techdirt.com/2026/10/20/a...

did your brain melt this summer as Fox News ran 8+ hours of Sophie Cunningham/TERF coverage? to you I present the many trans fans, affirming parents of trans kids, and WNBA players who are pro-Black, pro-trans, pro-woman. “The majority of the fanbase is standing up saying: ‘No, this isn’t right.’”

This should be obvious but people keep insisting on handing control over to the enemy and being surprised when they do evil stuff.

... the answer is to not use platforms like Insta, and bring communities to social media built on open protocols, such as atproto or ActivityPub, where the account holder has way more control.

Life goal achieved.

No idea how this was on TV when I was a kid or why/how I was watching it, but Invaders from Mars is burned into my brain.

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

@tbquirk.bsky.social and KRS-One convinced me (via www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnAw...) to be extremely anti-death penalty ages ago and I continue to abhor this. There is no justification for any of this.

"the ivy league faculty will never understand you" the faculty: SEND ME TO FIGHT THE SLAVE POWER

All I want from my elected Democratic officials and leadership is that they hate the Republican Party and conservatism as much as I do.

Holy shit. Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined. "I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports." This is getting out of control.

It's really the only important thing. If you're not furious, what are you even doing. The only knock on Ossoff is that he has an important Senate seat. They're both great. Fuck every Republican. Every single one of them.

‘The Matrix’ creator Lilly Wachowski on J.K. Rowling and the new ‘Harry Potter’ series: “She is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support ‘Harry Potter,’ you’re supporting trans genocide.” variety.com/2026/tv/feat...

my god, KU posted a JOWN BROWN edit to call Mizzou's history of supporting slavery over a football game, how is this real

if youre a democrat folding on hasan piker bull shit, why should i think you are going to push through on the hard stuff? do you have any idea the propaganda campaign you will be facing when you try to investigate trump corruption? the ice killers and rapists? court expansion?

the only chart I wanna see people talk about on Bluesky is the Billboard Modern Rock chart from 31 years ago today — August 26, 1995

Dolly Parton, like Fred Rogers, stood up for people when it was unpopular, just because it was the right thing to do. She stood up for gay men during the AIDS crisis when others stayed quiet. She stood up for sex workers. She stood up for trans people. I will always love her.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

5) Fun too! 4) The goggles, they do nothing. 3) Uh huh. Uh huh. Listen shut up for a second. 2) I nicked it when you let your guard down for that split second. 1) Guys like me. I’m a guy like me!

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

to be honest i don't think "youre lying and also stupid" is a great thing to say to scientists and engineers when they say they see some value in a software tool. not really the same thing as your boss sending you dumb emails in my opinion

At minimum it's clear the 46 yea votes on Laken Riley need to go. Jared Golden retired, Angie Craig was retired by voters.l, and Shomari Figures got sent to the redistribute shadow realm. But most are going to get reelected, and what message does that send to members wavering on Abolish ICE?

There is no ethical consumption of Harry Potter when it funnels straight into anti-trans bigotry.

kicking back some beers with the boys, trying to think of an obscure name to rattle off: hey do you guys remember god

that’s fucking right

Worth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.

When @npr.org wonder why I'll never give them a cent again it's because they support facists.

Holy shit I might have to go door knock for this guy.
