A part of this not mentioned is that Texas used to let kids transition. I volunteered at a camp for trans kids in Houston when I was in college (pre transition I know I know how did I not know I was trans). Guess where part of that camp was? Texas Children’s. That’s how much we lost
its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history
Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy
Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr
I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!
Back to discussing the lovely attacks I received during Artfight! This was the second attack and the first to target my new group of Misfit Dragons! It's done by the lovely @synthyx.bsky.social
I didn't quite expect for Luthirenne to get so much love during Artfight, but it pleases me greatly ^w^
I saw a post about Cyberpunk 2077 and how it doesn't address the role of white supremacy at all. Good observation, also true of not just Cyberpunk but the western genre in general. I like the trappings of cyberpunk, but much of it is white people going woe is us.
man, I hate capitalism lol. the more you learn about capitalism, finance, stocks, trading, values whatever, you realize it's just the biggest fucking gambling scam pachinko game ever
anthropic's exploding lol
it went public, we find out the company's debts are like $650 billion dollars. It's valuation was based on like a ton of IOUs.
a week ago those IOU holders were selling them off.
in china right now, the bubble is very much popping and $450 billion vanished overnight.
hm
"For many, this is the video game industry’s “you reap what you sow” moment, proof that the AI tools many publishers have brazenly admitted to using are a double-edged sword." 🙃
Also, this Tim Sweeney guy is not an honest person.
Great piece about an industry that is changing at breakneck speed:
Not only that there are many artists who enjoy drawing porn and they shouldn't be ashamed to sell it and charge what they're worth. Shaming sex workers who star in porn and artists who draw porn just makes things more dangerous for them and hurts their livelihoods.
I think artists and sex workers should have a natural allyship.
Both of us are often told we should not be allowed to charge for our work if it is at all pleasurable.
Both of us are wanted for what we can do, but our work is considered not worth paying for.
We should stick together
The "protection" narrative promoted by Trump and far-right groups like Heritage is a dangerous fallacy.
Trump's DOE has abandoned sexual assault investigations under Title IX. It has set rules that effectively put the survivors of rape on trial and that favor the men accused of victimizing them.
The Trump administration has worked to portray itself as protecting women and girls through their anti-trans policies. Meanwhile, they've worked tirelessly to undermine protections against sexual assault.
Wither Title IX, in this exceptional new reported story by @billiejsweeney.bsky.social.
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.
A better world is possible. But if voting alone could bring it to bare, the forces enriched by the plight of the now would never allow you to do it.
Lose? Organise.
Win? Organise.
and the result?
Lula won.
51,76%
we fought against Meta, we fought against corrupt officials, corrupt mayors, we fought against the far-right and we won democratically
we were in a severe disadvantage and we won
😬
"This works similar to a normal camera, the difference being that in our case, radio waves instead of light waves are used for the recognition," explains the cybersecurity expert. "Thus, it does not matter whether you carry a WiFi device on you or not."

suspiciously pancake shaped kobold on the ground:
In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.
Nixon winning probably doesn't instantly defeat the anti-trans consultants or anything (I think it's impossible for her to win and Turek to lose), but I think that she would be an extremely helpful ally at pushing back against them.
