It doesn't get reiterated enough that "human on a bicycle" is not only the most efficient way that a person can move, it's the most efficient form of motion ***ever observed in land animals***.

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.

@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

a group of seven or twelve black and stripey brown newborn piglets snuggle and nurse from their mama’s enormous boobies

hey @mostmoralpod.bsky.social I thought you might like to know that there are in fact actual piggies who regularly listen to the show: these ones haven’t had a chance yet though as they were born last night #treyf

I don't care about 'who's next?' as much as I care about trans people *right now* and if more people cared about trans people *right now* they wouldn't have to worry about 'who's next?'

Your annual reminder that the Last Supper was not a Passover seder, Jesus’ experience of Passover was fundamentally different from ours, and if your church does a seder that’s gross cultural appropriation.

Being a billionaire in the United States feels basically identical whether you have $10B or $100B, but feels very different if you can sexually harass your au pair and she can quit and get a different job vs if she is desperate to keep her job and has to put up with it because the economy is shit.

"Violence never does anything" is the propaganda they'll reiterate to convince you that the violence from which YOU suffer (re: Healthcare crisis) is normal and natural, but the minute you realize you don't deserve it, you're suddenly the bad guy.

One day, my daughter may compete against a transgender woman. She might win. She might lose. I hope I’ve done a good enough job articulating the depth of the issue, that she doesn’t care about the outcome and that both she and her opponent simply enjoyed the bout. I hope she understands that the young lady she competed with might not be with us in this world if she was forced to live a lie in a gender she didn’t identify with. And I hope, by the time my daughter is old enough to compete, this topic won’t be as faux-pas and divisive as it is in the present.

This article is being blasted around the Fox News mediasphere to shame the chair of USA Fencing after a publicity stunt this week by an anti-trans fencer. I thought I'd share it too because it's actually awesome.

I love my flowers with fresh delight every inevitable spring

there was no other possible outcome. they’re nothing if not predictably uncreative.

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender

look at it. he doesn’t sleep.

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.

excellent thread. 👍🏻

Adelaide absolutely HATES being clean and especially despises smelling decent. mud season is helpful for avoiding both of these conditions.

a long-haired, floofy yellow and white dog sleeps peacefully. a large splotch of mud extends from her cheek back well behind her ear and down her long luxurious mane to the midline of her chest. you can smell this picture. it smells like wet, filthy dog.

my floofy yellow and white dog is so happy the season of her favorite accessory is finally here

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity

"To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there"

I thought you might want a little palate cleanser amidst the doomscrolling
