like actually can we please stop it with "the humanity is in the imperfections" "flaws make it more authentic" "technically brilliant but no soul" im so fucking sick of hearing that shit bc it degrades so much of the hard work artists put into their art and making it legible

Good time to remind everyone that "no fap" and similar anti masturbation pushes are — and this is not hyperbole — literal Third Reich Nazi propaganda that was digested through the bowels of 4chan and shat out in its current form.

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

I love when cis people of color mangle the language of anti-racism to justify being transphobic, it's very cool and totally not them being titanic garbage fires ignoring the struggles of non-white trans people :D

bizarre phenom. of the late-2010s and going into 2020s attempt to constantly square a sex/gender distinction with excluding trans women & intersex people from talks about misogyny is that people have started treating "AFAB" as its own gender category. MtAFAB and FtAFAB transition will happen soon

Wildly infuriating that the AMA decided to hedge on trans youth care like this.

Trans people deserve the right to bodily autonomy and to go through puberty at the same age as their peers.

so the guy sharing gross transphobic slop with Epstein here is Robert Trivers, the scientist who invented the specious yet popular "parental investment" theory, in which sperm are cheap so men want to f*ck lots of women, but eggs are expensive so women are looking for a man with "good genes"...

There's not a single trans person in the Epstein files who wasn't a victim.

Every "they're coming for your kids" transphobic pundit was actively protecting the most documented pedophile ring since the Catholic Church.

Everyone from Libs of TikTok to Matt Walsh has gone silent

Hello young transfeminine egg. As an authority figure in your life, I have decided that you are the perfect candidate for carrying a large amount of heavy objects that I need moved. This is because you are Supposed To be able to do this.

"trans or genderqueer"

Brianna met her killer at school. The killers used Tor to watch snuff videos on the dark web. The BBC and Sky initially omitted that was transgender from their coverage. The Tory party wanted her to be buried under her deadname.

I have no idea how social media plays at all here

I accused a police officer of rape, but I ended up on trial How a secret audio recording played in court helped clear a woman accused of making a false rape allegation.

☹️ this is unacceptable.

1/ A technical point, “conditional consent”, as mentioned in the article, is not recognised in law. Consent cannot be conditional, it is either given or it is not. More importantly, this case did not turn on “conditional consent” at all.

In a life threatening emergency (such as if some violent unauthorized maniac hijacked an armored truck), a can of Christy's PVC Red Hot Blue Glue applied to the bulletproof windshield will permanently etch the polycarbonate, making it impossible to see through (windshield wipers will make it worse).

people whose most frequent talking point around gender is "you don't need to want medical treatment to be trans" should have to articulate their worldview to a roomful of trans kids who have been cut off from accessing health care

My kid was subject to lesbophobic abuse in primary school because of having two mums. The school wouldn't even educate the kids at the school doing the bullying that it's okay to have two mums or that lesbian isn't a bad word.

They told the kids off for saying lesbian implying it *was* a bad thing.

If only everyone had seen this coming

This is a result of what I call policical counter-dependency on the US and greater west.

This inversion of the western exceptionalist script while still simultaneously relying upon it.

This is the same mentality that treats privilege of any kind akin to original sin.

turns out a significant amount of americans want to live in a dystopian police state

Surprisingly mask-off transphobic even for the WaPo

Pinned Dr. Naomi Wolf. 8 NYT Bestsellers. DPhil, Po... @naomirwolf Subscribe ... Okay, I'll just say it. I've seen enough videos of the faces of liberal white women in conflict with @ICE, to know what is up. Liberal men at this point (sorry) are disproportionately estrogenized, physically passive, submissive due to woke gender hectoring, or porn-addicted. White liberal women are disproportionately sexually frustrated. Policing others as in the pandemic was an outlet for them, but it was not nearly enough. The smiles you see on their faces now say it all: white women long for all out combat with ICE - who tend to be strong, physically confident, masculine men because the conflict is a form of physical release for them. They long for actual kinetic battle and it will get even uglier. 5:54 PM Jan 9, 2026582.3K Views 1.2K 2K 12K 1.4K

One of the most outright misogynist things I've seen written about the Minneapolis situation and it's from 90s feminist icon Naomi Wolf

cis women are equally as """male socialised""" as trans women because we're all socialised as "women are quiet and obedient and men are loud and get what they want". the patriarchy does not, indeed,want young girls to grow up feminist anymore than young boys

They speak of justice while ruling through fear. They speak of sovereignty while stealing the vote. They speak of dignity while condemning their own people. I learned that those who insist the most on calling themselves "the good ones" are often the ones most afraid to face themselves. The Maduro regime wraps itself in flags, in anti-imperialist rhetoric, in a false epic where any criticism is labeled as betrayal. They claim to defend Venezuela, yet they stole the people's voice when they refused to respect the elections. That act alone strips away any moral authority. But do not be mistaken. The fact that a tyrant is real does not automatically turn an external aggressor into a savior. The United States does not act out of love for democracy. It acts out of interest. It always has. The language changes, the enemy changes, but the method remains the same: pressure, punishment, displays of power. And as always, the blow is not absorbed by those in power, but by ordinary people.

The Venezuelan people are trapped between two narratives that do not represent them. One that oppresses them from within, and another that exploits them from outside. One that claims legitimacy without real elections. Another that claims justice without taking responsibility for the human consequences of its actions. I do not defend Maduro. I point at him. But I also refuse to accept that a global power can appoint itself as a moral judge while its history is written in interventions, sanctions, and broken countries. Pain does not need propaganda. Hunger does not understand geopolitics. Dignity is not imposed with missiles, nor with dictatorships. While some sell themselves as the good ones to justify repression, and others sell themselves as the good ones to justify aggression, the result is always the same: more suffering, more rage, more generations learning that force replaces justice. And once again, pain is inherited.

Another post from a Venezuelan friend:

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab

There are a lot of things people get wrong about trans women but "making this space welcoming to cis men will make it more welcoming to trans women!" is I think the most wrong and also most common thing that a lot of folks are maddeningly attached to.

The persistence of the "don't/assume someone's pronouns" discourse is starting to confuse me because how often are y'all introducing yourselves to brand new people in queer spaces with an unclear social protocol regarding non-binary pronouns, anyway

“The left needs to give men dating advice” is such a stupid and unserious take and I keep seeing it everywhere. it’s just another version of the “male loneliness epidemic” discourse

Leftist dating advice: go on HRT it makes you hotter

"you're a man"
ad hominem

"you were born a boy"
sunk cost fallacy

"you're amab"
false dichotomy

"you have xy chromosomes"
false equivalence

"trans people are mentally ill"
non sequitur

"changing your sex isn't possible"
skill issue

Conflating gender and biological sex is pseudo-science. Biological males can't become biological females, and vice versa, AND TRANS PEOPLE KNOW THAT. They are performing their preferred GENDER, not changing their SEX. You know, the same way cis men get hair plugs and cis women shave their legs.

It is 2025. The EHRC in the UK keeps trying to materialize a trans bathroom ban out of a muddled UKSC opinion third-sexing all trans people. A bill to criminalise those who provide trans minors with transition care passed in the US House of Representatives.

And cis "allies" still think this helps.

doing psychic damage to my TME gf by explaining fetishization of transfeminine coded people and characters and how forcefem, BL and so on all play around with this because ultimately the ideal that society wants from us is 'boything I can exploit but never allow to embrace womanhood'
