This is AI slop, we don't have a picture of the murderer

This shit sucks, delete it.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

any specific reason NM is excluded? i don't know much about the state.

the audacity of a substacker with 100k paid subs telling veteran journalists their work is bad because it’s not deferential enough to stephen miller

i've thought this about martha stewart. she prob deserved to go to prison, but so did a ton of other execs who lied and profited.

you don't need to use your real name and photo to have opinions on the internet. but if the identity is fake on purpose, the conversation will be too.

I mean do you love ur kid or do u love ur kid’s gender. All these stupid reveal parties have done is encourage parents to fall in love with some sort of gender fantasy rather than the child and that has done nothing but bad things for the world.

i continue to be mildly surprised at how bad and unprofessional bluesky moderation is. i guess this is what happens when tech people have to manage a social network of people they genuinely don't like.

the platform of trust and openness will ban you if they don't like your tone.

this is some mike mclintock shit

aggressive chalking is learned at home. teach your kids before it's too late.

Puberty blockers: why politicians overriding doctors sets a dangerous precedent The government’s ban on puberty blockers undermines clinical expertise and targets trans youth with a policy that lacks evidence, consistency and fairness.

there are people that unironically believe this was the height of america

my most 'woke' opinion is that prisons should have the structure and stigma of medical quarantine. stabilize people, change conditions, and monitor relapse risk.

remove the performative cruelty and perverse levels of vengeance. measure success by improved health and victim repair.

our eyes can notice multiple things

there are so many tools they could be using, but they don't want to stick their necks out. they don't want the fight, they want things to go back how they were. but they don't get to choose. we're in this fight whether we want it or not, and we need more aggressive fighters.

she’s venting and it’s valid. it’s not crazy to expect our politicians to be capable at politicking. if they’re not they need to step aside. things are fucking *dire* and party leadership is overly focused on politeness and acquiescence, not the urgency and escalation the situation requires.

JK Rowling pledges to keep up fight against SNP trans policies Author vows to bankroll campaigners after Scottish government fails to pay group's legal fees in Supreme Court equality case

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

after 3 days of rain, i found these mushrooms in the back yard tonight. the big one has a 4" cap and it practically grew overnight.

8 million *fewer* dems turned out in 2024 because they ran a republican-light platform. harris/walz had juice for like 1 week, then the consultants told her to court the cheneys and genocide. people like fighters, people like politicians with a fucking spine.

the votes were there, the party wasn't.

Susan Lipper’s photographic series Grapevine was shot over four years from 1988 to 1992.
The series takes its name from Grapevine Branch in West Virginia, a small community where Susan found herself for a while after graduating the Yale photography programme.

in our school district, they're 100% dedicated on ABA. the school our child is entering has a team of BCBAs that work with them, and while they seem like nice people, i'm very conflicted about it. we're honestly considering moving but that introduces other learning/social challenges.
