Go listen to my new series Science in Transition!! It's a history of the current anti-trans backlash and the first two episodes are out!!

A source reached out to me claiming MasterCard contacted Riot Games about the ongoing Steam/itchio controversy. MasterCard is a major Riot esports sponsor. This is the message going around internally from Riot, paraphrased: * MasterCard has asked Riot to keep an eye out for negative sentiments on official Riot streams * Riot has asked esports content creators working with official Riot properties to watch out for any negative sentiments toward MasterCard * Moderators have been told to look out for any unusual activity around the MasterCard issue

lol @ the chicken but also i wonder what rowling makes of the times doctors do an abdominal scan or surgery on a man with testicles & unexpectedly find surprise ovaries in there

when cis liberals scold trans people by saying, "perfect is the enemy of good," the implication there is that trans rights are not in the category of "good"

i will not vote for my own death

I am so fucking sick of this vile argument that fighting anti-trans hate is making perfect the enemy of good.

Forcing trans people out of society isn’t “good”!! It’s fucking evil!

“Once that is done” means “let a bunch of people that I deem less important die in the meantime”. No! Fuck you!

This argument used to be about stuff like universal healthcare and now it’s about specific groups of people deemed an acceptable loss

Capybaras are cool

Transphobia is not

Rough sex is cool and all but have y'all ever felt your soul intertwine with a loved one in a sweet gentle embrace allowing to be fully vulnerable and studying their body, and without either of you uttering the words, you hear their heart cry out "For now and forever onwards, I am yours"?

Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.

There's probably a word for something wholesome that exists only because the circumstances are horrifying.

the thing described in this screenshot is a neo-Nazi recruitment tactic

Hey Gang! I could not be more thrilled to step behind the screen for Campaign 4 of Critical Role, and cannot wait to share all the amazing things me and this incredible team have been cooking up for you! 🐲⚔️🔮

THEY'RE INFRINGING ON OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES COOP. OUR LIBERTIES TO ENJOY QUALITY PORNOGRAPHY OF VARIOUS KINDS.

I remember awhile back we had to keep saying “there are going to be bad actors sharing Gaza stuff not because they care about Gaza but because they want to increase hatred towards Jewish people so please amplify other people who don’t do that” and I see the ed boards were not listening

"i'm afraid to start HRT because it might be taken away"

they've already taken it away from you by making you afraid they will

make the appointment

really? this is the most insulting part for you? really?

how do I make this situation about an already opressed minority about MYSELF

Post on /r/transgenderUK entitled “Reddit now censors LGBTQ+ content under OFCOM’s new ‘Online Safety Act’”

post text: “I honestly can't even think of words to describe how vile this is. Here's a screenshot of what I now see when I search "lgbt" with my VPN switched off. Occasionally a banner appears at the top of the screen saying something about needing to verify ID to access "mature content" but the button doesn't even work. The fact that we're now considered "mature content" makes me feel sick.”

The screenshot referenced in the previous image, showing the results of a search on Reddit for the term LGBT. No results from LGBT-specific subreddits appear; instead, posts from /r/Conservative, /r/Islam, /r/JustUnsubbed, etc are highlighted.

the UK’s Internet age verification law has led to the effective censorship of all LGBT content on Reddit

what a shocking and unexpected turn of events!

This is no accident. The groups behind age-verification laws have been explicit that they regard "gender ideology" and nearly any representation of LGBTQ+ existence as pornography

AV is government censorship. Platforms are either designating LGBTQ+ content NSFW or removing it all together.

how I feel since 2016 or so

a tweet from me that says "israel has been working to engineer a famine in gaza, with the aim of killing its population, and every political ally of israel knows this is the case"

i posted this more than a year ago because it was obvious by then that israel was trying to starve gaza, & i knew there would come a time in the future when a bunch of people who know better would pretend to suddenly find out about it

The woke college students were right but we can't acknowledge this because then we'll have to consider whether they're right about other things too. That I'm a big stupid moron for instance

If you are publicly trans you have shown more bravery than any cis in the military

For women, the increase of AI use in the workplace may affect their careers: Harvard study Women are using AI significantly less then men and it’s going to have a major impact on their careers, according to extensive research on the topic.

Every. Single. Story. about women not using AI as much as men portray it as bad for their future career prospects (without a shred of evidence) and a result of women being fearful little ladies rather than looking at AI's output and saying "this sucks, it's not going to help me."

Does she wear like a reverse pirate eye patch bra?

i hate the game politicians play where they back israel 100% until it starts killing too many people too fast, then they start calling for peace until the killing slows to levels acceptable for them. they're not opposing genocide, they're negotiating how quickly it should proceed

Digital graphic with the text "anti-censorship campaign" and screenshots of headlines about how multiple storefronts have removed NSFW content due to pressure from payment processors and Collective Shout.

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!
