Incoherent Queer Screaming

Dolly is a true gift.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

Meme image in which Princess Daisy says, "Are you tired of going apeshit? Don't you just want to be nice?" Her face looks softly dejected.

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

ok, this one hurts

Pew Survey: Only 31% Of Trans People Report Being Accepted By Their Parents The survey comes as transgender people experience a legal assault from the far-right in the United States.

1. In a devastating new Pew Research Survey, only 3 in 10 transgender adults report being accepted by their parents.

And only 1 in 10 say they are accepted by their extended family.

This is the lowest number ever found in surveys asking similar questions.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

This is one of the most menacing photos I've ever seen :)

Actually, I think the far-right is accurately identifying an existential issue.

So many of the most vehement far-right were either heavily bullied or did the bullying.

Teaching empathy to the next generation is fundamentally at odds with conservative political philosophy.

That's why they hate it.

I say this because a lot of folks will claim they want the gatekeeping but they deplore the violence. They don't hate trans people! They just want to make sure we're *really serious* about this. (They don't have similar concerns for other semi-irreversible medical procedures.)

I don't trust them.

Not long ago -- in my lifetime -- all trans people faced unspeakable violence, including state-sponsored violence, for simply existing

And self-appointed gatekeepers made it as tough as possible for a person to transition.

Anyone who wants to bring back the gatekeeping also wants the violence back

Turns out, 6 months was optimistic

It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

If you're doing overzealous things like putting an adult content label on Kate Bush or banning people for ill-wishing JK Rowling it's going to be very difficult to get people to accept there's nothing to be done about a user who announced his intent to use the platform to harass people.

VA staffer accused of blindly approving over 85,000 disability claims The employee was found to have authorized about 85,300 claims — 19 times the national average, and at an 84% error rate.

This man is a hero & I will hear nothing against him. Most of these assholes spend their time telling infantry soldiers that their blown out knees & compressed spines aren't service related & everyone else that bowel cancer at 30 is from energy drinks not contaminated water.

this business model should be flatly illegal

taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome

ban it completely

It turns out capitalism is pretty bad, actually

It's truly insane that it's legal to go "I'm going to spend $50 billion dollars to buy this company. Do I have $50 billion dollars? No, the company I'm buying is going to take out a big loan"

Anti-Trans Policy Deserves Same Scrutiny as Trump’s Tylenol Disinformation As a trans journalist, I see corporate media outlets as inconsistent in their treatment of right-wing disinformation.

For @truthout.org yesterday I wrote about how the government's lies about tylenol and autism reminds me a lot of the government's lies about trans people.

Well don't I feel stupid

Saudi Arabia & Other Investors Nearing $50 Billion Deal To Buy EA The massive deal might be announced officially as soon as next week according to sources with knowledge of the situation

Buyers: So your games... guns and football, yes?

EA: Mmhmm, mmhmm, mostly guns and football, yep.

Buyers: No gay stuff? No politics we're not going to like?

EA: Haha, definitely not! Hey, could you give me one sec? I just need to shut down a studio real quick.

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.

hey this is evil and will personally make my life harder and put my health in danger as a severely disabled person

there are exceptions for people with disabilities but the excepted services are inadequate, and government of canada disability services often have prohibitively strict qualifications

At this rate, the only way to keep Luigi Mangione from being released is gonna be to change his name to “The Epstein Files”.

Why do they even need to put it into pretend terrorism language? Like, seriously, how would stopping endless scamming spam calls NOT be one of the most universally popular things politicians or agencies could take credit for?

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.

Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.
