And they're definitely not working under cover for the man.

That's not a ballroom...

Gender is like mayonnaise.

It's fine in small quantities for people who like it, but some folks just will not stop smearing it all over everything.

Wait until they hear about what that Jesus guy said about the poor.

Parvati in The Outer Worlds. Yes, it's a computer game but I don't think I've ever come across a fictional character I've loved more.

Sex work is a women's rights issue, a queer and trans issue, a labor rights issue, a civil rights issue, a disability issue, an immigration issue, the list goes on. All of this is connected, but none of these other movements mention us. Ever.

Despite all the struggles I deal with when it comes to being queer and trans and disabled and working class and all of that, 99% of my breakdowns have been because I rarely see anyone who isn't a sex worker show up for sex worker rights. The silence is deafening and it's breaking me.

What IS period blood? Because it isn’t like regular blood. In fact, from the few studies done on menstrual fluid, scientists found that it contains proteins & other substances not found anywhere else ... TikTok video by Dr. Harini Bhat, PharmD

men, for like all of recorded history: EW PERIOD BLOOD IS GROSS

science: I dunno, man, looks like menstrual stem cells might be able to regrow your severed limb or some shit like that

Definitely one of my favourite Kate Bush songs. Biggest faves would be Suspended in Gaffa and Flight of the Swallow

I am fucking begging people to go to this website and do what it says and get rid of the AI summaries tenbluelinks.org

I initially read that as "Combined gnome-wide association study of facial traits" and immediately had a vivid but confused mental image.

Frankly, I'd be more worried about visiting the US than China. I'm trans and openly contemptuous of Trump so I'd probably be thrown into a cell with a bunch of men for 6 weeks before being deported if I went to the US.

Did Trump get congressional approval to perform this act of war? I seem to recall that's a requirement for this sort of thing. If he didn't I suspect that's a first.

Your guns will be cannons?

Ok but to be fair, has anyone actually tried that?

Hands Off Our Work From Home Rights Let’s be clear: this isn’t about flexibility. It’s about protecting what workers already fought for, and rely on, to earn fair pay and balance work and life.  If big business get away with this, ...

Don't let them take our workplace rights. They won't stop here.: www.megaphone.org.au/petitions/ha...

That's ok, I'm not right going in. I'm the Listener of the Black Hand and I have an extensive cheese collection.

Look, I didn't come here to be exposed like this.

And drink that cup of tea before it gets cold.

I thought the answer was broadly volcanic ash, and seawater can make it even better. Has someone discovered something else?

Now Australia has to manage the same thing this weekend.

Not that the UK is especially welcoming to trans people either.

I buy a lot from our local grocery store each week. The grocery store never buys anything from me.

This isn't fair.

I'm going to fix it by charging myself 30% extra for everything I get from the store from now on.

How does that help? STFU that's how.

This cartoon has four panels. Each panel shows the same thing: Two women walking through a hilly park as they argue. The two are staying at least six feet apart from each other as they talk. The woman in front is wearing a jacket with rolled-up sleeves, black tights with holes in them, and a striped shirt. She has a pink streak in her black hair. The woman behind is wearing a skirt with a pattern of exclamation marks, a white collared shirt, and has wavy hair falling to a little below shoulder level. She’s wearing glasses. PANEL 1 PINK is talking calmly while, behind her, GLASSES waves her arms and talks in an argumentative fashion. PINK: So when an eleven year old trans kid is prescribed puberty delaying drugs, that could spare them decades of suffering! GLASSES: But what if a boy likes dolls, so his parents decide he’s a girl and force him to change sex? That’s why we must outlaw puberty delaying drugs! PANEL 2 Pink isn’t yelling but she’s speaking passionately, waving her hands as she talks. Behind her, Glasses has her hands in her pockets and is listening without much expression. PINK: I’ve never seen a real case like that. That would be awful. But if a case like that happened, it’d be one in a million. On the other hand, there are definitely trans kids who need this treatment. PANEL 3 Pink turns back a bit to talk directly at Glasses as she asks Glasses a question. Glasses, hands still in pocket, replies calmly. PINK: So how many trans kids would you sacrifice to prevent one hypothetical non-trans kid being forced into delayed puberty? GLASSES: All of them. PANEL 4 Pink has now turned all the way around, looking a bit horrified, and holding her palms up in a “let me just explain this” gesture. Glasses has stopped walking, has folded her arms, and has raised her voice, with an angry expression. PINK: I don’t think you understand – we could be talking about a hundred thousand- GLASSES: I said ALL of them!

"Which Kids Matter"

#PoliCartoon #TDOV

You're making it really hard to resist upping my pledge to a physical print even though I really shouldn't spend that money - is shipping included in the price?

Remember kids, "DOGE" is pronounced the same way as "dodgy".

For a moment I thought the shapes inside the cup were dinosaurs

That should be "gah", not "gay". Where's the damn edit function?
