the Dem party number is easily explained by the fact that bluesky is full of people who will crawl over broken glass to vote for Democrats in November and also hate Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries with every bone in their body
I'm reading the start of the nightmare rotation psychology dissertation on trans adolescent and this shit at the abstract and I have 12 remarks for 1 paragraph so for fun I did a quick search for how many times a word is used
ROGD: 63
Autogynephilia: 17
It's gonna be so so sooooo bad isn't it?
i estimate that the state of Kansas has denied me funds that almost any other state would have given me, to the tune of about $18,000
it might be more because im low-balling here; if i have an unexpected catastrophic medical problem, that number could become an order of magnitude higher
friends, i have a funds request. i dont like doing this- asking for help is NOT a shame, dont get me wrong-
its just to do so i have to reach down and dredge up my pain so i can put it on display, so that people know. this is a internet perversion
so let me tell a longer story than usual

Even in these trying times, I can still donate to lydelle buster, America’s World Wide Web mystery sweetheart, instead of buying one more box of ammunition.
OPINION: I asked a former Trump official to justify this war
So the case for Congress is, once we have gone to war, if they don’t like it, they can remove the money? Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war. Congress has a role in cutting off funds for wars, which it has threatened to do. And the president doesn’t have to get permission. But yes, you can debate, you can decide. That’s his choice in how he wants to do it. I mean, here I will quote the Constitution: “The Congress shall have power to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.”
Behold the intellectual might of the conservative legal movement
we don't use cars a lot in the US just because it's huge and sparse out here
we use cars because auto manufacturers spent a lot of money ensuring that it was the main way to get around; a hundred years ago there were interurbans in eastern Kansas, and it was FAR more sparesely populated than today
when the most prominent meme about a minority is that the attempted suicide rate approaches half of the *surviving* population of that minority, yeah, they know what they’re doing when they target us.
every trans crackdown is an attempted mass murder.
When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project
I think Newsom is contemptuous of trans people; he was happy to sign laws supporting us when he thought it was popular and now he's decided the vibe has shifted he's happy to help wipe us out.
I think he personally fucking hates homeless people, like violently, murderously hates homeless people.
oooooh
Was looking at a list of names, Abby sort of "vibed" and felt good and right, so I made a note and figured I'd make a short list of names that vibed like that and narrow it down from there. At the end of the big list, my short list consisted of "Abby" and I thought, well, alright then!
I always loved the cute lil koopa and this one's a SKELETON??? sold!
I'm a Dry Bones fan myself
brutal
Ah, that's exactly what it is. Reassuring!
That's definitely the tornado siren but there's no reports of anything and no watch or anything? What is going on?
Pioneering scientists have finally invented Groucho-affirming care.
Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.
even the surveys about AI using dark patterns
purity thinking always ends up with mass murder in the end
(bonus points if you think about this whole argument through the lens of the current trans panic. when someone next asks "what is a woman?" ask yourself if the answer they're seeking isn't "a person who can be traded like chattel to serve the purposes of cishet men").
the last few times iran has accepted a ceasefire, the US and israel have taken the opportunity to restock their weapons and then surprise attack iran again. "there's zero point in engaging in diplomacy with us any more" is what that strategy teaches
maybe he means he needs to move in a really delicious and convenient way?
If gender were the immutable biological reality they claim to believe it is, they wouldn't need to spend so much energy policing it like this.
If you find something that looks like my writing in Claude, here's a good reason: it's on the legal record that Anthropic stole every fucking book I've ever written. That's not the AI's writing. It's mine.
The NYT knows this, by the way. This is pro-AI propaganda and they fucking know it.
This is murder with extra steps.
Fantastic!
Remembering that story about an LA-area woman seeing Ford in star wars in 77 and exclaiming to her companion "that's my weed dealer!"
