The Episcopal Church newsletter came in hot with this second sentence: "Bishop Sarah Mullally, who has served as bishop of London since 2018, has been named the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury. She will be the first woman to hold the role, which was established more than 1,400 years ago."

I feel like there’s an inherent ”Lighten up, buddy!“ vibe to the beer thing

Nobody is “grooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people ARE grooming them to be Nazis.

IT DOESN’T

IT DOESN’T DO THAT AT ALL

IT REFRAMES PREVENTABLE DEATHS AS INEVITABLE AND VICTIMS AS WILLING MARTYRS WHO ARE ACTUALLY BETTER OFF DEAD NOW

IT IS A DIABOLICAL THING TO SAY IF YOU ARE IN A POSITION TO STOP THIS SHIT AND REFUSING TO DO IT

I do wish people would treat transphobia as the serious red flag it is, because if someone is repeating bullshit pseudoscience talking points from right wing cranks, that's just as bad as conceding to anti-vax nonsense and undermining trust in science and medicine, alarm bells should be sounding!

the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time.

it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.

Trans people are worth protecting. Not because we are amazing people (although we are) or because we offer a great deal to society (although we do) or because we are fine as hell (we are). We are worth protecting because we are HUMAN BEINGS, and it’s amazing how often that simple fact is forgotten.

Now is the time to be curious about our universe, to be imaginative about all its possibilities, including the potential for humans to live in good and sustainable relations with each other and the ecosystems that we depend upon.

This is a time of stubborn freedom dreaming.

The novel Deacon King Kong has a recurring bit where people of all stripes ask each other “What does a deacon DO, anyway?” and nobody can quite say

you stand strong for trans people and against every bit of terf bullshit out there so you can say

Absolutely not. We don't compromise. That's a fucking 18 year old in there and she's not going to show you her fucking tits at a Buffalo Wild Wings to use the bathroom.

this whole video is incredible because it’s part Go Off King and part Watch Whiteness Work

Do you have a favorite brand of that sesame paste? Really want to try it now!

republicans are obsessed with examining people's genitals in the bathroom and i am literally begging democrats to say this very true thing

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

Dead Center: My Ear

Seriously I feel like all the design elements are drawing focus to his ear.

The cancel culture panic existed to coddle the powerful who experienced the mildest of criticism and to pave the way to astroturf conservative censorship into the mainstream

When a restaurant brings you soup with a rat in it, it's not just that your soup is ruined. It's that you know the whole kitchen is disgusting.

And so it is with Rahm and any other Dem who thinks anti-trans posturing is the way: it's enough for us to know everything about them is filthy.

I like to think they perceived that as a gesture of respect for their expertise

I haven’t thought about that song for years! Actually can’t remember any lyrics except for the fun of the refrain “Senza una donna…[surging vocalization that sounds like woAAAAHH]” 😊

The penny still hasn’t dropped for me. Is this some funky find/replace error?

In regards to hot dog sentience, the bun acts as the exoskeleton with the consciousness in the meat itself. It's the pairing of the two that creates the complete sentient hot dog. This was the first thing they taught us at America orientation. Not sure how so many of you missed that.
