Iris became an instant love when I heard it. Such a queer song

They forgive anyone who gives cover for their hate

So many movies suddenly the same name with:

I really need a Sam Vimes partnering with a dragon story

Except we don’t have an east coast team

My favorite catcher

Amen and amen

This was a word AND he cussed 😂

Of course the same administration that is restoring statues from the slavery supporting confederacy is celebrating the life the Kirk

Dark Helmet from Spaceballs saying, "We know the Left is responsible! We heard the shooter's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate might be trans!"

this is what the news has been like for me over the last couple of weeks.

A Researcher Was Studying How to Classify Gender—and Found a Startling New Answer Turns out there’s more to the gender spectrum than we’d imagined.

Howdy! I’ve got a new @slate.com story, about some really fascinating work researcher @cantonwiner.bsky.social is doing around asexuality and a concept he coined called “gender detachment”

Every step of the way we've been told we're too loud.
Every step of the way we've been told we ask for too much.
Every step of the way we've been told we're selfish.
Every step of the way we've been told we need to compromise.
Every step of the way we've been told we're not human anyway.

It's just a sports ban.
It's just a bathroom ban.
It's just a healthcare for kids ban.
It's just a military service ban.
It's just a federal jobs ban.
It's just a university housing ban.
It's just a passport & visa ban.
It's just one Constitutional right.
It's just your status as free citizens.

That's all anybody can do right now. Live. Hold out. Survive. I don't know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won't matter if we don't survive these times. Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower (Earthseed, #1)

I am Tom Clancy’s trans daughter(yes, actually) and I whole-fucking-heartedly endorse this!!

Trump says the Smithsonian focuses too much on 'how bad slavery was' A White House official told NBC News that Trump plans to expand his review of museums beyond the Smithsonian, which is based in Washington, D.C.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. ... History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
―Orwell, 1984

Looking back through history it seems like the lack of intellectual humility and curiosity at the societal level is one of greatest causes of suffering and death

Agreed. The smallest minorities always disappear first when societies lose intellectual humility and curiosity. The fastest way for that to happen is marry empire and religious fundamentalism

many times I have lamented the eradicated cultures that had left hints of what I was seeking

So glad you made this thread. It gives me a reference point to start to understand what feelings I had when I saw Hermaphroditus statues in the louvre, British museum, etc when I saw them 15+ years ago. Just thought it yet another oddity of how I dont fit in anywhere even in the trans community

Odd take

Just read the book in one sitting yesterday! Loved it and clearly could not put it down.

Thank you

I feel so broken and that I can’t make friends anywhere
