The only thing that anyone ever needs to know about Bill Ackman is that he once joined a group of avid long distance bikers from NYC to Montauk and back without training or preparation, arrogant in his ability to "lead the pack" and ended up screaming in agony

I'm sorry but I'm not askerd of his dumb ass. There's literally not enough money or resources in the world to adequately cover this particular demographic.

As a former young, dumb republican you can compartmentalize a lot of shit and pretend youre not racist when youre surrounded by the subtle version. Harder to pretend you dont suck around loud Nazis. Always have sucked tho regardless

My big brained take re "young republicans are worse now" vs "young republicans have always been this bad" is young republicans have different levels of overt or subtle racism depending on where they happen to be in the country.

You’re pushed on by numbers and punitive measures: pain, rejection, and unpaid bills. You can either play or you can crawl under a boat and waste away -- turn into salt or a flock of seagulls. Your enemies would love that. Or you can fight. The only way to load the dice is to keep on fighting.

Years of Lead Paint confirmed

Because inevitably theres 100 people going "men brought it on themselves, theyre trash, theyre abusers", etc

But like I got really lonely when I first noticed that people were cold towards me or afraid of me once I started passing. And while I understand why, it's still painful.

For some reason a lot of people interpret it as "men demand gf" instead of "In our society and culture men feel less able to form close emotional bonds with others and theyre dying from it". And every time this discourse happens I (a trans man) take psychic damage.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

THE STUPID FUCKING SQUIRREL

Real talk tho, anyone doing this gender essentialist rhetoric towards women or men is spreading terf talking points. Dudes rock, and loving men is awesome

Gonna start calling my trans guy friend group the Boys of Atrocity

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Hey Minnesota: ICE is now on the ground in NE Minneapolis. See thread. Stay alert everyone!

Boneshaker Books is moving!

Why move? While we love a lot about our current location, we’ve struggled with dwindling foot traffic, low sales, and expensive maintenance issues. We believe our new space will offer resources that will allow us to exist more sustainably as a community organization for the long haul.

How can I help? Our goal is to raise $15,000 total to fund the move, make some improvements to the new space, and build out our inventory. Ultimately, we need at least $6,000 by October 17th so we can reopen in our new space at 708 W 26th St. by around November 1st.

Donate and find out more about the move (and the cool perks you can get for donating!) via the QR code or URL below. Thank you for helping Boneshaker thrive! bit.ly/boneshakermove

The rumors are true: Boneshaker is headed to a new location! We need your help to dig up our bones and move on over to 26th and Lyndale. We're hoping to raise $15,000 total, $6k of that by 10/17. Learn more at bit.ly/boneshakermove and thank you for helping Boneshaker thrive!

Hey Minneapolis, anybody seen Jiahong's bike?

war, war never changes.

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

An important thread and class of communication Rudy exhibits better than the official team.

THIS is how you lead. Great breakdown of everything.

hi, cis folks in california!

this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out.

he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841

want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

Oh my god? Is this? How he talks? All the time???

Hi Aaron, a thread.
The bot was not a harassment bot. You were ignoring a community that was rightfully upset and trying to get information about the job you are doing.
I used the protocol and the platform to build a bot that simply showed what you were doing on the network. yes, if you posted...

I feel like the proper response wouldve been to say that a year ago and also not ban juni out of embarrassment. And not streisand yourself. "harrassment bot" lmaoo grow up

Istg did no one else have parents who forced them to write apology letters when they fucked up?

This is actual fucking bullshit. Bsky is run by ego poisoned clowns

he got banned for alt text saying "a negative consequence follows" REALLY????

bluesky: community moderation! we're all about community moderation! we want you to moderate yourselves! we are giving you the tools to do it yourself!

one of the biggest and longest running community mod lists:

Alan Moore remains correct re superheroes

These guys come from the depths of meme culture totally divorced from the source material and that gave birth to the memes in the first place. Which is not surprising since they can basically only experience media as an expression or critique of their own fucked up worldview.

I was surprised that other local people I talked to who were worried about ICE hadnt heard of our local rapid response network. People are doing things everywhere! It's easy to think things are hopeless when all you see is the terrible news. We all need to look for (and be part of) the helpers.
