No government should ever concern itself with whether its people "appreciate their sex". Fuck off.

Reynolds signs Iowa law barring local trans civil rights protections City and county civil rights commissions may no longer protect Iowans from gender identity-based discrimination under a law signed by Gov. Reynolds.

The first state in the US to remove statutory protections for an entire class, gender identity, has just enacted a bill preventing local municipalities from having their own protections for trans people.

Gotta say that this is some extremely creepy language. And the argument basically is... that if the prevent people from treating gender dysphoria (adults, in this case), that they'll just... stop having it? That's not at all how any of this works.

Although days are hard, and sometimes I don't do all the things I want, there is always something I'd like to do, and that gets me out of bed most days.

I wish you too have something you want to do.

A bunch of brightly colored 3d printed dice on a gray backdrop with a glass and fold holder in the back.

We did the math, figured out the assembly, and now have all 7 fidget dice configurations!

Scarlet Morning, Book 1: Scarlet Morning Check out Scarlet Morning, Book 1: Scarlet Morning - <p><b>AN INSTANT <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER * <i>USA TODAY</i> BESTSELLER * NATIONAL INDIE BESTSELLER * NPR BEST BOOKS OF 2025 * <i>KIRKUS </...

anyway, this book is a 12/10. the pirate fantasy literally everyone needs even if they don’t know it yet. it’s middle grade, but also great for a YA audience and adults who enjoy some spooky whimsy. Viola and Wilmur are my kids now bookshop.org/a/120083/978...

Scarlet Morning by N.D. Stevenson

just finished Scarlet Morning by @gingerhaze.bsky.social and I’d just like to say: hey, Nate, it was frankly quite rude of you to end the book like that, and I’m going to need the sequel yesterday. Also, I request the chance to hug Captain Chase even though I know she will pretend not to like it

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Politicians crying that they're just "protecting the children" while doing the exact opposite is nothing new, but if this becomes law it could effectively end the careers of some of you favorite queer creators (including mine!)

imo it’s gay, but if you don’t want to consider yourself gay, that’s you’re choice. I know people who consider themselves straight who are attracted to multiple genders but don’t call themselves bi or pan because they know they’ll never act on it, and I see the above situation as similar
