"They are targeting trans people because trans life represents the principles of dignity, self determination, and gender equality that they abhor."

YES! @moiradonegan.bsky.social that sentence is so good

Hey! Don't forget *NOT* to use the iOS Patreon app to buy things or subscribe to memberships because the app store now has a 30% fee which either the creator is covering themselves or is increasing the price on whatever you're buying (patreon emailed me today to tell me I could choose which)

The bricks didn’t throw themselves! Stonewall would not have happened without the trans community. You can’t change history, and we won’t allow you to erase our family!

Also as someone who had her BOOBS! surgically removed because of breast cancer… like, fuck you, ad execs.

We don’t do ads for testicular cancer that are all LOLBALLS!

Or colorectal cancer that are HURRDURRBUTTS.

Take it fucking seriously.

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Reminder to those who need it:

1. You can mute the name of the current president and/or anyone else you don't want to constantly hear about here

2. You can mute/block/unfollow accounts that impinge on your calm

3. Social media doesn't have to be a doom scroll, curate your feed to make you happy

Here's the first of probably periodic warnings to remind yourself that the "firehose of falsehoods" disinformation tactic is about to go into full swing. You do not need to watch the news to bear witness. You do not need to watch hideous videos of violence. They will be circulated to keep you upset

My friend's FB randomly followed Dipshit's page on its own, so that could be something to keep an eye on as well.

Never in human history has a government attempting to mandate who people are and how they can express their identity ever worked out for that government, but gosh darn it maybe this time will be different!

happy monday also trans rights are human rights -R

When people say, “we have made it through worse before” — Clint Smith all I hear is the wind slapping against the gravestones of those who did not make it, those who did not survive to see the confetti fall from the sky, those who did not live to watch the parade roll down the street. I have grown accustomed to a lifetime of aphorisms meant to assuage my fears, pithy sayings meant to convey that everything ends up fine in the end. There is no solace in rearranging language to make a different word tell the same lie. Sometimes the moral arc of the universe does not bend in a direction that will comfort us. Sometimes it bends in ways we don’t expect & there are people who fall off in the process. Please, dear reader, do not say I am hopeless, I believe there is a better future to fight for, I simply accept the possibility that I may not live to see it. I have grown weary of telling myself lies that I might one day begin to believe. We are not all left standing after the war has ended. Some of us have become ghosts by the time the dust has settled.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

He doesn’t want people to see him throwing his heart out to people, obviously.

As the new administration comes in and attempts to legislate trans people out of existence I'd like to announce that I will not be a trans "ally".

I will be a trans ACCOMPLICE

a mug with ADH... on it

a trail of ellipses that slowly change shapes and paths turning into footprints on a white mug

a white mug with 'did you know squirrels can leap 20 times their body length?' on it

The process of making this mug has absolutely zero connection to my thought processes this morning.

None what-so-ever.

New ADH....Didyouknowsquirrelscan.. mug is now available in the shop! 3 sizes including a massive 20oz!

The irony is that while corporations have been cheering for the next four years due to the assuredly anti-consumer environment, they probably shouldn't.

If we can't trust that brands are being properly regulated, then we'll just dump a brand forever at the drop of a hat because WE DON'T WANT TO DIE

a gentle reminder that expressing contempt for your opponents by misgendering them is really not the devastating putdown you are hoping for

Jesus welcomed sinners, tax collectors and Samaritans, so yeah, pretty sure he’s okay with diversity, equity and inclusion.

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

does everybody know about my favorite website, the embroidery tips page that forgot to close its <h3> tags

Genius over here has finally realized that putting actual words on here would probably be a good idea. Won't happen often, but hi.
