6th Circuit Rules Cis Students May Bully Trans Students By Repeatedly Misgendering Them The Circuit also seemed to suggest that trans students could not misgender their bullies in return.

1. In a devastating decision for trans kids in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, the 6th Circuit has ruled students can bully trans kids by repeatedly misgendering them.

Trans kids also are not allowed to return the favor to their bullies.

Screenshot of a Bluesky post and its quoted post. The first reads "there are also these two options, 'engagement farming' and 'spam' which often hit artist account who may be self-promoting or running art shares/giveaways. So if you are starting to notice fewer of those on your feed that may be a reason why" and includes a screenshot of Bluesky moderation settings. The second post reads "If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled 'Rude' by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation >bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off." and shows a screenshot of the bluesky "Rude" moderation setting.

"Frequent follows, posts, and likes" - bruh. That's called social media. LOOK AT ME, ALL THE ENGAGEMENT FARMING I'M DOING

this is such a fantastic example of the transformative power of design when used collaboratively and intelligently. the visual design of this campaign is deep-rooted in history and culture and is thoughtful and beautiful

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Michael Adams, KY Sec. of State @KYSecState We're getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry. Richard Hanania @RichardHanania Oh my God. MAGAs are showing up to polls in Kentucky trying to vote against Mamdani.

This is a real post from the Kentucky Secretary of State. 🤪

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but this is my annual reminder that if your family is disrespectful of your identity, derisive of your values/interests, or just unwilling or unable to treat you with the warmth and kindness you deserve, YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

Sneak peek!! These are still warm from the kiln 🔥

4 frame comic. A guy with an American flag t shirt asks a woman with a Cochran Mamdani shirt : what do you care if Mamdani wins or loses? You're not even American. She replies : Americans have made sure through centuries of imperialism that whatever choice they make, the whole world will face the consequences. We are tired of hearing the gerontocrats standing between fascists and power telling us that the only way to defeat the far-right is to always move farther right ourselves. We want leaders who have the courage to stand up for the ideals, not political weathervanes willing to say whatever gets them closer to power,

The world is watching.

an illustration of my character Park, laying down. She is cropped by the shoulder, her head cracked open and eyes dark and vacant. Wilted purple and white flowers are placed in the hole in her head, and a yellow-y liquid rot dribbled from her eyes and mouth.

⚫ you neglected what you planted in me
but at least the warm rot feels like love

-Kids LOVE receiving canned soups like Campbell's or Chef Boyardee
-Ramen is cheap & wanted

I'm so goddamn tired of saying this but: this is it.

All the worrying that trans folks have had since he took office? This is why. This is the first step on a short road that ends with the criminalization of trans existence in the US. It isn't doomsaying. It isn't panic. It's right in front of us.

queeranarchistscissorsister you just turn 18. you've been in a discord server for a while. you're finally allowed to join the NSFW channel. you open the channel. it's only them posting about OSHA violations at their workplaces and how they're going to unionise.

Against a dark, abstract backdrop, a redheaded beauty poses surrounded by ghastly faces, but she seems more conjuror than captive. Her knee is raised as if she’s springing upward. Cobwebs stretch behind her and swirl around her upraised hand. A gray bat flies off from her abracadabra flourish. The sorceress is bare-chested wearing long white skirts with a red and yellow belt that dips in a V. The bottom of her skirts blend with creatures at the bottom of the panel, a transition from ghostly white to tormented gray. The background is pure hellscape that suggests perhaps a gnarled tree or the infernal stone of a cave. On closer examination, it seems to be made of twisted souls. Orange background show through at the panel edges, criss-crossed by tendrils, cobwebs or what have you but still providing a vibrant pop of color.
