People think that teens don't care what their family thinks as much as their peers, but that's not true at all. Teens understand that family is forever and important, which is why it's so emotionally fraught to separate and individuate.
Peer relations are where low stakes experimentation happens.
Coming out to your parents as trans, even very supportive parents, is a major life announcement. You are saying that this is who you are and will be for the rest of your life. (That may or may not be true, but that's how it feels to a teenager.)
Nice. It’s about taking a minute to slow down & briefly live in a world that embraces (not just tolerates) difference. Yes.
okay maybe people will get it this way:
alt text is not “something nice and extra you do to help blind people”
alt text is praxis. alt text is putting your money where your mouth is when it comes to inclusion. alt text is how you prove you’re not even a little with the Nazis
No worries I wanted to ask you before tagging other editors. 😊
One of the best analyses of the geopolitics of this war I've read.
@older.bsky.social would this be in your wheelhouse to translate? I don't know the author, so no special ins from me. But it's so fucking good, needs to be shared!
Yes. After 34y in US academia, I have the receipts.
Utterly unsurprisingly, ppl like that don't understand why I'd leave a hyper-prestigious uni, give up tenure, & take a 67% pay cut. I'm like, baby, it's called FREEDOM. There's always a price to pay & I'm definitely among the lucky ones.
Sooo good. READ!
My former employer had so many soft power ways of silencing dissent. I got taken down a peg for standing up for lecturers. I had my named chair withdrawn bc of my inability to shut up about bad behavior.
Speaking your mind is THE ENTIRE PURPOSE of tenure. Don’t fucking waste it.
ANd, appropriating the word “indigenous” is a classic far right move
I just want to see this particular elderly person wander onto a busy highway
here's more context for this clip 👆 it doesn't make what Trump said about 6 year old girls any less weird
Pro tip:
IF YOU INFECT US WITH AI, WE WILL LEAVE & BSKY WILL DIE LIKE TWITTER.
We’ve done it before, it worked, so we are 💯 confident we can do it again. That lingering nervousness about whether we’d find our ppl again? Gone gone gone.
You have been warned
Germany. What could possibly go wrong? Or have they selectively forgotten that too?
Not “might.” “Will”
Also, news flash: science is DEFINITELY a human invention (ref: all STS literature).
Yeah, I have a thing abt how physicists think they’re doing THE most fundamental of all sciences, & thus have unique cosmic insight. (Ref: I majored in Physics at MIT) Bollocks.
I think its also legit to wonder that about the US.
The whole fkn thing is a war crime. Now, chemical warfare. More proof that the goal is extermination
FeckinYahu is the single biggest existential threat to the state of Israel. No one should get heat for wondering whether a state that racistly kills its neighbors should continue to exist. And yes,
Cishet women w/ hots for Johnny: he can’t possibly be a bad dude bc that would make us bad too (which tbf…)
The either/or & only-2-sides mode of USians has engendered so much violence. It’s constituent of transphobia by refusing to acknowledge >2 possibilities
Whole fkn empire built on 2-sideism
whaaaaaa...?
nooooooooooooo
do it, girl!
Being bullied by kids at an ostensibly secular school that nevertheless had religion class. My 8yo self concluded it was all a big bag of hypocrisy. Also the bible? I was a READER, so I reread those f'g stories and WTF. Plus: Catholic mother, stubborn kid. It all crashed together in a big NOPE.

An 8th grade English teacher called my treatment of Robert Frost's Mending Wall "whimsical." Have hated the word in reference to writing ever since. Also, I never read another line of Frost. She sure showed me. Bitch.
Yes, 48 years later I still hate her. I'm allowed.

*n't. isn't. in case that wasn't already obvious
you know what, that was indeed good for me!
but widdy politics prof wants to score points with fellow cons, so here we are. ofc the paper itself is worth anything anymore, so i guess he found his people.
This does exhibit particular stupidity.
Like dude, if you just want plaine coffee, there are places that do that. Lots of them. You have chosen to go to evil empire for crappy coffee (can't resist inserting my feelings). Just shut TF up and go somewhere else! This is not hard.
A lire absolument: comment la logique de l'impérialisme américain façonne les actions autrement incompréhensibles dans cette nouvelle guerre.
whaaaa?
I mean, it IS called empire for a reason. The usual reason. Said as someone born in one of the colonies.
Vassal states have more power tho? yeah, no.
I want yall to know that everything happening in the Epstein files is as American as Apple Pie.
What I mean is literally everything those affluent white men and women are doing to children is the same exact thing they did to slaves during the American Slave Trade. Welcome to my TedTalk.
