I've mentioned my love for Baby Nancy, but the first mass-market ethnically accurate black baby doll was actually SaraLee, created by Sara Lee Creech, Maxeda von Hesse, and Sheila Burlingame in the 1950s. She was manufactured by Ideal, pictured here with opera singer Leontyne Price.

The colonial lie at the heart of Africa’s homophobic 'culture war' The notion that queerness is "un-African" is one of Britain's most successful lies, and most enduring exports

Across the global majority, politicians defend anti-LGBTQIA+ laws as protecting “traditional culture”.  

But often, those laws aren’t tradition at all. They are colonial imports.

“Protect women and “protect children” are the rallying cries of bigotry. We’ve watch in real time how the right’s campaign of protecting children from “force transition” has expanded to stripping care and rights from adults, all orchestrated by pedophiles and rapists.

This is the cry of the bigot.

i think about this post bsky.app/profile/amyb...

What you mean to say is that you’re angry if your children’s first exposure to the existence of gay people is either neutral or laudatory

It’s so weird when people are like “how do I talk to my children about gay” and the answer is obviously

“those fellas are married to each other.”

@phoenixcomics.bsky.social my friend is looking for recommendations for books to read to his (4yo) child who is starting to ask questions about gender and the human body. Do you have any recommendations?

Who cares about a bad space show written by a sex pest when you could watch the anime that he ripped off to make it? Outlaw Star is 1000% pure uncut aura starring a chaotic bisexual and his crew of hot, murderous women youtu.be/q3gI-E_vqVA?...

that is legitimately the coolest shit

So many “Disability Advocates” so little masking.
Obviously there are folks for whom masking is not feasible but I doubt they are in the majority.
There is wholesale denial of the ongoing pandemic at every intersection and it’s damaging to everyone.

Kansas invalidated a trans woman's license even though she never changed her gender marker.

It's not about the gender marker. It's about targeting trans people and making their lives unlivable.

In the last decade, the Atlantic has not platformed a single trans person to speak about issues affecting them or the broader trans community. Not a single one. Yet, they have monthly screeds by Helen Lewis and endless money to pay random transphobic grifters to pump stuff like this out.

The way cis liberals talk about trans people they disagree with on this website when they think we aren't looking is very, very Hitlerite. Just saying. I have seen stuff that has made me regret thinking certain big names ok here were allies.

For one, acting like every trans person here is white.

no nazi shit

How US tech giants supplied Israel with AI models, raising questions about tech's role in warfare U.S. tech giants have quietly empowered Israel to track and kill many more alleged militants more quickly in Gaza and Lebanon through a sharp spike in artificial intelligence and computing services.

I would like to remind people that AI has already been used to kill people

OpenAI and Microsoft supplied Israel with AI models to track and kill people in Gaza which led to increased civilian deaths

Hitting a speed bump in your trauma recovery isn't always a tragedy, or even necessarily a "setback." Sometimes we need to slow down & check in.

So today's not a 10X "progress" day in your recovery-- but maybe a day like today is exactly what your recovery needs right now.

No matter how thoroughly CPTSD is kicking our ass on any given day, we have SOME influence (not "control," INFLUENCE) over what we say to ourselves, what we visualize & focus on, & how we use our body & breathing. Focus there. That's where your leverage, your wiggle room, is.

hot take: if you're an American, this is not a nuanced issue. you do not need to "listen to Iranian voices" here. you need to tell your leaders to stop bombing a country and killing people. that's literally it.

We're no more than a few hours away from the next phase of digital propaganda: unverified videos of "liberated people celebrating" will go viral. Many of these videos will later be revealed to have predated the illegal war, or be entirely unrelated to current events

Upshot: verify before amplifying

Obsession: I had a huge crush on Superman, so I got powers, put on his costume started killing people, and you know what? He STILL didn't want to date me! Cupid: I went thru basically the same thing with Green Arrow! You know what we should do? Obsession: Kill more people? Cupid: Kill more people! Obsession: You're my new best friend. Cupid: You're my new best friend.

Hey look, it’s Carrie Cutter and Dana Dearden.

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.

Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

test day

Never forget who did this. Republicans did this. MAGA did this.

We beat this disease. One of our GREATEST scientific achievements in human history. And racist fearmongering lying Republicans are undoing it to where we will lose our herd immunity threshold within a year.
