🚨KOSA, app store restrictions and ID checks are expected to be reviewed by House Energy and Commerce Committee this week, bringing us that much closer to a censored Internet under the guise of β€œkids safety"!

We have to keep up the pressure against these bills! www.badinternetbills.com

I'm pleased to announce that @doonpook.bsky.social and I will be debuting our brand new pilot script, NPCs, as a table-read at the Joy Who Lived festival on April 12th!

The tavern is for tourists, and the "side quests" are their entire lives.

lol incredible AIPAC ad. Quoting Kat's high school newspaper from when she was literally 16 years old. An AI generated campaign pin that gives up on spelling her name, seemingly making her Hawaiian. Another AI generated pin that makes Marco Rubio extremely handsome for no reason. Fantastic work. πŸ§‘β€πŸ³πŸ˜˜

Happening now: a protest in Chicago's federal plaza is underway in response to US and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier today.

Chicago Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez just addressed the crowd, which I'd put at a couple hundred people strong. A lone counterprotestor is also posted up across the street.

If you think the only reason we’re bombing Iran is to cover up the Epstein files then you haven’t been paying attention for twenty years or more

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Given how many good trans engineers I know who just mysteriously never get an offer, I’ll say it explicitly: I’ve seen the Swift team evaluate and sometimes hire trans candidates. You’ll get a fair shot.

How Kansas Republicans weaponized the law to target 300 trans driver's license holders SB 244 was put into effect virtually overnight, causing chaos, panic and fear in the trans community.

New β€” I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.
