i’m not convinced mr same name and username and ai profile pic is in fact a real person

New heresy just dropped

that works out to be about the same number of people in the US that still use dial up internet, and of course even though that group is very small, AOL still supports dial up… *puts finger to earpiece* i am being told to check the news today

TERFs are mainstreaming the sex resegregation of society.

Very easy slam dunk issue for Dems that will be ignored because their consultants are scared of trans athlete polling.

every time a democrat legitimizes this line of thought, that trans people in sports is an issue that has not been settled (it has been), i’m assuming they either don’t care enough to do bare minimum research (a google search) or they just think we’re icky and bigots aren’t

Trans folk 🤝 carcinised arthropods
Converging on a sick as hell body plan

A critique of the Democratic Party is not an inherent critique of their voters, nor is it a judgement on anyone's own morality.

Point being, there is no need to take it personally when these critiques come up. It's our job to hold the powerful accountable, no matter who.

pretty sure the answer to that “how long to cook pasta” question is on the package you got the pasta from when you poured it into the pot 30 seconds ago

This is it. Freeze it in amber. Hang it in a museum. The ultimate expression of the NYT and the elite class behind it.

The utter moral failure of ceding power to Trump? Acceptable ... if it is done in a clever, savvy way!

timb33 hashtag nokings says First they came for the socialists etc. What if they came for some really small marginalized group of people (0.05% of population), and because we tied ourselves in knots trying to keep everyone happy, we never got into power, and never achieved anything.

absolutely wild to niemöller at a person from one of the groups in the poem to argue that it’s good actually to let them come for some people because it’s a tactical victory.

“i read niemöller & solved the trolley problem the omelas way” is what a surprising number of people sound like right now.

i think i could get an official autism dx if i could just have a psychologist watch me while i’m listening to literally anything toby fox ever composed. cyber city? more like stim city babey ahahaha

i think the correct way to think about the lonely boy question is not "how do we reach out to incels?" but "how do we make sure that a teenage boy looking for romantic advice isn't flooded with right-wing propaganda?"

it truly felt like someone drilled a hole in my skull to let the demons out, trepanation-style. it’s wild how much mental energy i save when strangers on the internet aren’t trying to make me viscerally angry for fun & profit

my grad program (@ the place where tub coached!) admitted 3 students this yr. only 1 is actually matriculating this fall, because the other 2 are from iran. they were extremely qualified and did so much work to get into this program, but instead their dreams are being crushed for… for what? cruelty?

it is beyond the pale to view the existence of trans people as an acceptable sacrifice to “beat fascism”

if “beating fascism” leaves trans people exiled from society you did not actually beat fascism at all

Here are some of the highlights of the appropriations bill that the Senate appropriations committee just approved:

$48.7 billion for NIH, an increase of $400 million

Rejects the proposal to cap
indirect cost rates at 15%

Includes a provision to prevent MYF that would reduce the number of grants

new podcast from michael hobbes: mantenance phase

four decades of dems appealing to bipartisanship later:

It's something to watch this happen when issue is question is "no longer supporting genocide"

A riff on the famous Mike Primavera (@primawesome) tweet about shelter cats and coyotes, with substitutions in brackets My neighbor told me [Republicans] keep eating his [vulnerable minority groups] so I asked how many [minorities] he has and he said he just [Votes Blue, No Matter Who] and gets a new [minority] afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding [vulnerable minorities] to Republicans and then his daughter started crying.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

he’s taking a screenshot

This is so perfect. "Dead Center" and he's so far to the right that he's half off the cover

I was talking with a teenager recently who is not a transphobe but said he didn’t think it was fair for trans women to play women’s sports . I said that I didn’t think it was fair that people who are taller than me get to play basketball and he paused for a moment and then said, ok you’re right.
