Sign reads "We <3 our TRANS daughter. She deserves Healthcare like everyone else."

Signs read "TRANSGENDER RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS" and "PATIENTS BEFORE POLITICS"

sign reads "HEALTHCARE BY DOCTORS NOT DICATORS"

a collection of signs reading "I am not a political pawn" and "life is short. let us live." and "gender affirming care saved my LIFE"

The CA Democratic party is having its convention in SF. So yesterday there was a lovely rally for trans healthcare at Moscone Center. Honey Mahogany and some trans kids spoke.

It filled me with hope for my community. Here are some of the fantastic signs I saw.

What does it profit a man to have billions of dollars if he has no one to, lovingly, tell him to shut the fuck up

lady gaga said something on this recently and thinking about it again with alysa liu's performance: something different does happen when an artist sees the social role of performer as a public act of creating the possibility of communal joy and embodies it

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology"

No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

Queers and dears if you haven't read Woodworking by @emilystjams.bsky.social yet, great news! You are in for SUCH A TREAT

There is a venn diagram of "We need to believe that AI can develop a real consciousness," "I now adhere to a truly bizarre health routine" and "I need all the money possible and I need it just for me," and at the center of it is "I am terrified of dying and I don't know how to fix that"

this is the soundbite and we can make it stick

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia.

But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.

actually I think the most shocking aspect is that Prince Andrew is only 66. Imagine having that much money and privilege and still looking like the geography teacher who'll never leave Grange Hill.

what I want people to feel, when they look at South Korea and the UK and Brazil holding elites accountable, is that it's possible here too. Elect true leaders this year and in 28, empowered - but also driven by us, the people - to hold the criminals accountable for their crimes. It's possible.

‘Prince Andrew believed having sex with me was his birthright’: Virginia Giuffre on her abuse at the hands of Epstein, Maxwell and the king’s brother In an extract from her posthumous memoir, Virginia Roberts Giuffre remembers the day an ‘apex predator’ recruited her from Mar-a-Lago, aged just 16; how she was trafficked to a succession of wealthy a...

Rest in power, Virginia Giuffre.

Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine: I will be the king of England.

It brings me an incredible sense of peace to imagine the fear and feeling of walls closing in for men who abused women and girls with elite impunity

Yoon and Prince Andrew wishing they had a friend like John Roberts.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Good. Also, fuck the Department of Education for attempting to pull this bullshit in the first place, and fuck this whole racist, shitty administration. And fuck ICE, while I'm at it, because that's just an evergreen at this point.

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

this is a subtle but IMO wildly underappreciated problem

I'm listening

yeah man i LOVE technology*

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

“is there a technology that the left is excited about?”

Trains. We love trains, actually

"iS tHeRe a tEcHnoLoGY tHe leFt Is eXcItEd aBoUt" yeah, renewable energy, mRNA vaccines. Lots of cool stuff like that! Probably not the one whose main promise was cutting payrolls

a fucking pedophile sexually abused nearly every prospective and actual Olympian gymnast for over two decades, and the political discourse is hyper-fixated on the hypothetical unfairness of trans girls competing with cis girls
