"The Good Place" is an amazing show and I do cry every time I see the finale again with my paramours

But also, episode 12 of season 4 is so underbaked and did not really sell the whole "an infinity of pleasure is just hell in another form" conceit.

Like. Sorry. I could beat infinity.

It remains to be seen how the Venezuelan people will respond to a more overt CIA presence in the country post-Maduro. For years, Maduro cast the CIA as a convenient boogey man, repeatedly accusing the agency – without evidence – of attempting to topple his regime as he clung to power despite US opposition. Now, the CIA has helped supplant Maduro and is poised to help actively manage the Trump administration’s dealings with Venezuela’s new leadership.

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN.

"Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

"we have to stop using trans people as a political football"

You have to fuck your entire self, actually.

We aren't a distraction. People aren't simply using our existence to score points vs each other.

They just fucking hate us. They want us gone and are working on achieving that bit by bit.

Apparently this comic is going around on other websites again and getting the usual "but my gender dysphoria is actually super bad" responses and like

Sorry but calling yourself an ogroid thaumaturge or whatever is about as effective for that as coping with allergies by taking a hammer to the face.

New Study finds a significant reduction in suicidality after trans people receive gender-affirming hormone therapy.

“Hormone therapy was associated with clinically meaningful reductions in suicidality over time…”

“Just showed up at the local protest about the gestapo murdering a local German. People there were talking about genocide Germany is committing? Let’s stay focused”

This is is you

When all else fails, blame Russia. Ignore what the US was doing in the early 00s and decades before that tho.

Do people finally understand why countries not in the Imperialist Bloc have to be more vigilant? Why they restrict foreign media? Why they need deterrence?

People deride communists for being "authoritarian", but how else are they to survive amongst imperialists?

Oo, "nobody knows what transmedicalism means" discourse is back?

ME PRE TRANSITION: lava is so cool

THE LADS: hehe yeah bro

ME POST TRANSITION: lava is so cool

THE LADS: aha easy mistake to make but actually it's very hot

The USA had been manufacturing consent for this incursion in Venezuelan soil for years before this with all the astroturfed memes about how Vuvuzela Bad Because Of Communism, btw.

You can literally say what you want about trans people and the UK courts are fine with it.

This was a *child*

Weird how if you’re trans and 17 and seeking gender care you’re a “child,” but if you’re assaulted by a 57-year-old man you’re an “activist”

"need a yassification filter irl" ok so first of all I need you to bare your thigh and also avert your gaze if you get freaky about needles

transfem extra money glitch: make sure you're being called a man by an online harasser right when your paycheck hits. you will be temporarily gaining male privilege, boosting your paycheck by a significant margin. this is totally how it works, i learned it on tumblr.

44BA Restriction on prescribing gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (1) An authorised prescriber must not prescribe a prescription medicine that is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue for the treatment of a person with— (a) gender incongruence; or (b) gender dysphoria. (2) See Part 2 of Schedule 1AA for a transitional provision in respect of this regulation.

No matter what the politicians say, this is discrimination. Look at how the regulation is worded: This is not a ban on its use for a particular indication, it's a ban for a population.

You see how easily reformists take over a movement and neutralize it because many of the dominant voices are actually secret reformists absolutely fine with a couple social democrats coming into power and kicking the can of capitalism further down the road condemning future gens to this hell

Not taking HRT is unsafe for trans people who need it, with or without medical supervision lol

Why is the risk of dysphoria never weighed against the risk of taking a natural hormone?

(hormones which are actually much safer than the OTC meds Katie mentions!)

I think you cannot understand anything until you realise the scale of cis society's obsession with transfeminity and the lengths it goes to not only to quarantine and punish it, but construct social rituals to navigate its presence in everyday cis life.

do not give labour a single vote under any circumstances

I'd advise American trans people to stay clear of GenderGP unless you absolutely have to

They have a reputation here in the UK of being awful. Low doses, AI to do prescriptions and when there's a fuck up (there usually is) AI is used to fix it

Its an awful service. Cash over care

Chinese Satellite Crushes Starlink With 2-Watt Laser Fired From 36,000 KM in Space Using a laser weaker than a fridge light, it quietly achieved something five times faster than Starlink—from a place most experts thought was impossible.

Musk polluting the skies while China make something much better, as usual

Anyone saying the word tankie online in 2025 will be forced to relocate to a place currently collapsing due to climate change. Thank you for your attention to this matter

I want to ban marriage as an institution. Ceremonies should be allowed but there should be no benefits over other relationships and living styles for monogamous couples over everyone else

Ideally this would happen in socialism where private property isn’t a thing so that doesn’t matter either

"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
