1594. Two peasants congregate outside the Globe Theatre. One points to it and asks "do you wanna see the new Shakespeare?" The other says "nah...too tired to pay attention. Need something lighter." The two watch a nearby puppet show entitled "Shakespeare!!! Funny Falstaff Clips."

It's actually not swindling to tell people what they want to hear if you actually intend on doing those things. Swindling would be something like, just for example, announcing a fake Hyperloop system solely to kill California's high speed rail initiative.

only took a decade and a half lmao

finally unfriended my groomer on facebook please clap

I somehow always forget that Shigesato Itoi, creator of Mother/EarthBound, has been arrested numerous times for protesting against police brutality and for progressive changes to the establishment in Japan's government.

Makes that cop battle scene in the early game hit different, huh?

I'll be the fun police.

Don't play Arc Raiders. Do better. Play a game with real voice acting.

at some point we have to reckon with the fact that decentering sex from transition disempowers our ability to challenge the biological framing of cisness as immutable truth that has been continually used to oppress us

yeah been having a lot of those moments lately tbh

awww thank you!! that’s so sweet ☺️

i am lucky to have them and i will never stop being grateful that i found someone so amazing who fits so perfectly in my arms. i can’t wait to be able to walk again so i can care for them as they’ve been caring for me

this is a @meowtapes.bsky.social appreciation post. they’ve been taking care of me and everything around the house since the accident and i’m so grateful for them

they’re an incredible problem solver, deeply kind and compassionate, and they make me laugh more than anyone else i’ve ever met

in our cissexist society it's significantly more difficult to secure rights for trans people without being able to cite the fact that hormones and surgeries fundamentally alter your biological sex

you don't need to medically transition but I don't understand how someone could transition without wanting to alter their physical body and material reality

Plato's allegory for the cave with the shadows labeled "validity" the puppeteers "cissexual society" and the free man "transition"

i don't get all the energy spent to say "you don't have to transition" that was always allowed. in fact, in some states and countries, it's mandatory

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either.

Somebody tell Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. it’s joe-ver.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Mamdani: "Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up."

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

“He doesn’t have a mandate” are you fucking kidding? Dick Cheney died the day Zohran is elected he has the mandate of HEAVEN

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates.

If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years.

Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.

Cissexuals: you're transmeds trying to make us assimilate to gender expectations! You don't even understand how complex gender is!

Half the transexuals I know: I'm a boy on estrogen but also a woman if you ask me to explain I'll taze you

i’m just obsessed with it in general. as an old EQ player i’m really excited for this one

I know that hormones can be intimidating, but trust me when I say that you can just take the estrogen and you might just feel better for it

Vic holding Apple like a freaky baby. Apple’s limbs are a-dangling and he looks like he is contemplating the horrors, while Vic stares at the camera in awkward confusion. the composition features Rembrandt lighting

@meowtapes.bsky.social came in the other night holding Apple and said “look what i got,” then i took the greatest picture i’ve ever taken

after a week on T i feel a little more like myself

or whatever myself should have been or could be

i feel braver

and HRT is a god damn miracle and anyone who wants to thieve it from our hands is a sadistic depraved bastard who deserves necrotizing fasciitis

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.
