I love moths so much 😭 They've got a transcendent beauty.

Number 2 is gorgeous.

I was just thinking last night about how much I miss my moths. I used to spend spring & summer nights mothing but I haven't this season because my apartment complex installed super bright floodlights everywhere that drown out my little UVs. they were so cool to see

Look at what happened to divorce rates in Mexico when some areas extended the school day by 3.5 hours!

Why did divorce rates go up as a result of the change?

"Every single person in my store is supportive and accepting of who I am, including my boss, the other managers, and every colleague in every part of the store. At times my workplace is the only safe space in my life which is a bit sad."

They're inventing inspectors and inspectors of inspectors because the current political economy isn't workable without bullshit jobs.

It's telling that, in response to this, men predominantly would rather enslave women than do their half of the work. The idea of a society wherein men and women complement each other continues to be unsustainable and the men are going to have to cave.

I have come to accept a simpler and more general argument against billionaires: by their very nature they impose centralized planning over economy they infest, becoming de-facto communist planners, and thus impose upon their habitat all the pathologies that rise from impossibility of planned econ

Thus the pathologization that occurs in response to transition in order to reify the rigidity of AGAB: if a trans woman merely transitions out of a fetish, delusion, or porn addiction, then not only does this trivialize transition as an unserious vanity project within the assigned gender rather than

We Need to Talk About Pedocon Theory The connection been Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is no accident, but reveals a deep logic at the heart of reactionary politics.

A trans woman thus would be merely a man chasing a male perception of womanhood out of a male sexuality—hence that Blanchardism, with its location of any desire for transition in fetish, is

This. Lots of people, including lots of feminists, have a deep psychological attachment to gender. Genders are natural and immutable "sex classes" that provide order to the social world, and transness is a freedom that threatens that order. Transphobia is a manifestation of the fear of freedom.

That fear of freedom is a fear of chaos. If male and female are mutable, the transphobe seems to say, then what other apparently basic coordinates are? That chaos is a threat to an order that provides their ontological security—hence any threat is met with aversion and control.

One of my very best Internet friends, whom I've known since 2017, @atheopagan.bsky.social, has passed away. I will miss her dearly.

I'm sad to inform many dear friends that Gab (@atheopagan.bsky.social) has passed away.

If you can spare it, please join me in helping their sister Amanda with funeral costs and assistance with emptying the apartment.

Thank you.

Indian court rules a transgender woman is a woman Activists across the country celebrated landmark decision

The Andhra Pradesh High Court on June 16 issued a landmark ruling that says Indian law cannot deny transgender women recognition as women solely because they cannot bear children. Justice Venkata Jyothirmai Pratapa, who presided over the case, rejected arguments that tie womanhood exclusively to reproductive capacity, declaring such views “legally unsustainable” and contrary to the Indian constitution’s guarantees of dignity, equality, and identity. The decision, rooted in the Supreme Court’s 2014 National Legal Services Authority v. Union of India ruling that recognized individuals as a “third gender” with equal fundamental rights, marks a significant step toward gender justice in India. “A trans woman, born male and later transitioning to female, is legally entitled to recognition as a woman,” Pratapa declared. The court emphasized this recognition is enshrined in Articles 14, 15, and 21 of the constitution; which guarantee equality before the law, prohibit discrimination based on sex, and protect the right to life and personal liberty respectively. Pratapa further clarified that trans women are entitled to the same protections as cisgender women under Section 498A of the Indian penal code, which addresses cruelty by a husband or his relatives. “Denying such protection by questioning their womanhood amounts to discrimination,” said the High Court in its ruling.

The ruling came in response to a petition filed by Viswanathan Krishnamurthy and his parents, who sought to dismiss a dowry harassment case brought by Pokala Sabhana, a trans woman. Shabana alleged that Krishnamurthy and his family subjected her to cruelty and demanded dowry, charges that prompted her to seek protection under Section 498A. The court’s decision to uphold her legal standing as a woman ensures that trans women can access critical protections against domestic abuse, setting a precedent for future cases.

HOLY FUCK?!

And this ruling is EXPLICIT about rejecting the third-gendering of trans women!

Ahh, yes, the "individualism" of *checks notes* ethnostatist Zionism, racism, and militantly xenophobic nationalism.

Transsexual is still my favorite word for what I am—other than girl/woman, ofc.
