Who Was Charlie Kirk, Anyway? Kirk occupied a uniquely powerful place in the MAGA movement

I put together a primer on Charlie Kirk — and paid some special attention to his relationship with Nick Fuentes and the Groyper movement.

There's no hot takes or sweeping declarations. Just some useful background. www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/who-was-ch...

A friend of mine described how people are taking “the path of least resistance”

Ppl are so distressed by Trump et al that they think they don’t have to do the work anymore, as long as they are against what Trump is doing

But when you’re enforcing his ideological commitments: don’t address racism

Extremely silly question, but is there a reason for the F sharp in the key signature? Love it either way lol

From Kellie Martin: Trans and nonbinary people deserve to live safely, freely, and with dignity—without fear, discrimination, or harm. Their existence is not up for debate. It’s up to all of us to stand up, speak out, and protect our trans community. Support, uplift, and fight for a world where trans lives are valued, celebrated, and protected. 💖💙🤍 #ProtectTransPeople #TransRightsAreHumanRights #nonbinary #they #humanright #lovewins #asl #protect #trans #people #activist [ID: three-panel digital illustration with a gradient background of blue, pink, and white, representing the transgender pride flag.

Okay I don't know if it's still out there but have you read The Mountains Are The Same? If so, great, if not, it's one of the all-time best fanfiction stories I've ever read in any fandom. Mostly about the aftermath of Fury Road but also extended world building that is chef's kiss

TERFs, Trans Mascs, and Two Steve Feminism In which A Man has an Opinion about Feminism, with Mixed Results.

If I kept this in drafts until next week, I would just keep adding things until it grew to the size of the earth, so here it is: "Social constructs" and cis feminism's enduring failure to adequately reckon with transmasculinity: jude-doyle.ghost.io/terfs-trans-...
