The thing people don’t seem to understand is that yes, Iran is a distraction from Epstein. And Epstein is a distraction from Iran. Everything is meant to distract from everything else. It’s all meant to be overwhelming so we don’t focus on any one thing.

Donate to Gorom trans and LGBTQ refugee camp, organized by Alex Dono Hello everyone My name is Sophie. I am a trans woman living in Gorom Refugee Camp in … Alex Dono needs your support for Gorom trans and LGBTQ refugee camp

Once again bumping this campaign for Sophie and her community at the Gorom refugee camp in South Sudan. What's been happening in Sudan has gotten very little global attention, and trans and queer people are even more vulnerable to violence and erasure. Please help if you can. ❤️

Yeah, I get that. What makes it work for me though is that the show is very rooted in post-Cold War America and dealing with the lingering ramifications the US government did during that time.

There's literally an episode where it's quite clear the devil (or a demon) shows up to mess with school teachers. There's another where it's made VERY clear God sent 4 mentally handicapped kids to Earth so they could die as teenagers so Scully could get over the death of her child. (its problematic)

This isn't a criticism. I love that the show clearly mixes sci-fi and theology. I love that both exist in this world. It's just wild to me that it's not ever something that gets talked about in mainstream discourse on the show. Until I watched it, I had NO idea.

What's wilder is that God seems to be trying to tell Scully how important it is that she is the skeptic in her relationship with Mulder, which is a wild thing for God of all beings to stick his finger in things to say.

Watching the X-Files for the first time, its wild to me that while everyone talks about the aliens, no one talks about how literal GOD is an undeniable entity in the show who CONSTANTLY intervenes to send Scully messages about how important she is.

Erin and I had an amazing time on the Star Trek Cruise. We’re so damn adorable together.

But they can’t even be bothered to treat their employees… excuse me, contract workers with basic respect. I doubt they’ll start with trans people.

All it shows is the Lyft is trying to get in early on the eventual cultural backswing post-the current political pendulum swing. Tell me when Lyft says it’ll give all trans people free rides until we have all our basic human rights, then maybe I’ll buy their earnestness.

Rainbow capitalism will not save us. Absolutely driving me bonkers that some LGBTQ orgs are celebrating Lyft giving a $10 discount for “trans joy” in the face of Kansas’ human rights abuses as some sort of magnanimous positive and not just meaningless culture war corporate performativity.

Shards of Reflection A newly made vampire searches for the vampire who made her while unable to trust her new senses and memories.

My amazing friend Kel McDonald has a kickstarter for their new futuristic vampire comic book. I adore Kel's work (if you're a sicko werewolf fan, you'll love them) so I'm pumped for this new one and if you can send some support, it'd be really appreciated. www.kickstarter.com/projects/149...

The new Scary Movie trailer starting off with a lazy enbyphobic joke? Yep, def feels like the Scary Movie franchise.

Sounds like certain Dune fans thinking Paul is a hero.

Frak this Podcast! continues with an episode of prophecies and trauma... the latter being handled with all the delicacy of a bulldozer in a church. Plenty for @jessiegender.bsky.social and me to tear into.

Sometimes it’s year into a relationship that you discover a friend’s superpower and @jessiegender.bsky.social’s is recommending ABSOLUTELY DOPE BOOKS that are exactly what I want to read. Not a miss not one and I’m a picky reader 🫠

Sorry to focus on these assholes, this’ll be the last one - but “gay theater kids larping” basically describes most of Star Trek… hell most of sci-fi television before the streaming era.

Why Transgender People Are Not Feeling Gavin Newsom We have seen this song and dance before.

...if you're a trans person who speaks out about how horrible Newsom is on trans issues, you get *flooded* with ppl telling you to "vote blue no matter who". to which I say: fuck you! would you vote for a politician who says he wants to roll back your rights? www.erininthemorning.com/p/why-transg...

So how long after they acquire Warner Bros is Paramount also going to bring back Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor?

News article that says “Pete Hegseth declares that Scouting America (the org formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America) will eliminate transgender tolerance and diversity programs”

As a proud transgender Eagle Scout, Pete Hegseth can go fuck himself. Also, he’s wrong about this and he can fuck himself for that too.

When I’m back from vacation and haven’t used the internet in a week. What drama did I miss?

Rewatching a bunch of @jessiegender.bsky.social videos for my cyberpunk book. If you haven’t already seen ‘Dreaming of a Queer Internet’ it’s one of the best video essays I’ve ever seen. By a long stretch.

Tilly's Trans Tuesdays episode 145:

Let's dig in to complete seasons of television I watched in 2025, and have some in depth discussions about trans rep in "Clean Slate," "Doctor Who," "Hacks," "Heated Rivalry," "Ironheart," "Last of Us," and more!

@jessiegender.bsky.social returns to discuss!

Yeah him and Vash was fun. A much better match then him and Crusher (tho I was never a big fan of Crusher. I loved Pulaski a lot more).

You know what I meant. And SFA was renewed pre-release.
