a black and white edit that reads "the future includes trans people". around the text is a floral pattern. the image is grainy

the future is for trans people

I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran).
The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

It's time for the collective to face the reality of our situation.

We're not voting our way out of this, we're all going to have to remove this authoritarian regime by other means.

The free press is no more, that's our cue.

No more cognitive dissonance.

Teona needs us! Their kindness kept me from having to move back to Phoenix last summer, + I got to meet them and their cute kitties when I stayed with them! If you can can spare even $5, it would be a big help! You can help prevent a Black and Indigenous person from losing their vision. Plz share.

John Perkins’ Legacy of Reconciliation in 10 Quotes Perkins believed that the church not only had a responsibility to confront racism, but a calling to build a new world founded on justice.

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

I have a trans EMT friend who might need to move from the Seattle area if they can't find a new position in the next month

Reading my copy as I monitor tiny breath sounds.

Indigenous and BW founded USian midwifery (enslaved BW/ 🙌🏾 Grand Midwives caught most of this countries babies until about 70-90 yrs ago), but not only have we been pushed out and gatekept from caring for each other we're neglected to death the most.

Indie deckbuilder All Will Rise's dev joins No Games For Genocide boycott and plans to hand back funding it received from Microsoft "We encourage others in the industry to join us and take a stand."

all will rise is handing back Microsoft money & pledging @nogamesforgenocide.com — it’s a difficult thing to do when funding and attention are scarce commodities for indies like us, but we hope more of our fellow devs and indie studios will join us in taking a stand 🔥

Dr. Nair is right and this is part of the broader appeal to objectivity in LLMs that was noted over a decade ago by Safiya Noble in her engagement with Google search.

The objectivity of the machine, which is really cis-white abled bodied male objectivity, trumps the expertise of marginalized folks.

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.

Mainstream media: nothing

Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.

Mainstream media: nothing.

This is what extreme media bias looks like.

This is indicative of a mindset which essentially says "there can be no such thing as scholarship or intelligence when it comes from a group I've been conditioned to demonize" and we'd all be better off if we realized these people are simply like this. There's nothing to persuade here, it's bigotry.

Primary these bastards!

the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

This is correct, imo. A Democratic administration successfully broke students' will to protest. They won nothing and faced massive consequences. NO ONE stood up for their free speech rights among mainstream pundits.

Now they're to blame for the Biden administration's success at repressing them? No.

Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative.

1. Getting feedback on something I wrote.
2. Waking up next to one of my partners.
3. That last hour before bed, alone with some music and my thoughts.

Pitch an unnecessary sequel:

The President of the Republic of Comedy

trans people do not all have to agree on one narrowly-defined community standard with rigid rules and acceptable terms for transness

Yo since posting about our firearms training, my signal has exploded with queers interested in joining our next class, but we’re getting them activated in local Mutual Aid and Rapid Response Networks till then

At this rate by next year my crews gonna be bigger than all of Patriot Front lmaoooo

Pitch an unnecessary sequel

Bigger Trouble in Little China

tapping the sign again:
no, sanitizing queer spaces of “problematic art” was never going to discourage them from censoring & criminalizing us, their goal isn’t “acceptable” queer expression, it’s none at all.

wake the fuck up & stop projecting your discomfort onto others.

Nowhere Man and Strange Luck are the two that I actively miss.

In the wake of Travis Dhanraj’s testimony about CBC’s biased practices I can confirm that they do blackball ppl and I am someone who is currently blackballed for life from CBC, which should be a banned practice. I am currently blacklisted from CBC I can guarantee that the blacklist is real

I've been told he's impressive for his "stream of consciousness writing" but when I drop a paragraph-long sentence like that I get told I need an editor.

That's an assho--terisk.
