At least 27 states turned over sensitive data about food stamp recipients to USDA Democratic-led states secured a legal victory to keep the personal data of food recipients out of the federal government's reach. But NPR's reporting shows that millions of records on Americans have already been shared.

a question I often find myself asking these days: "are these the moves of a movement that feels that it's winning or one desperately afraid that it's about to lose everything?"

On Lil Nas X, celebrity stunts, race and substances.

Lil Nas X deserves more shows of solidarity and support from the LGBTQ+ community.
Lil Nas is a Gay man facing an unjust arrest and imprisonment over a mental health crisis.
Gay men are unfairly targeting lately, and Black Gay men are targeted by racist policing and homophobia.
Nas deserves support!

Bluesky moderation suspending trans people for wishing ill on the members of a hate group who are actively working to eradicate us shows us what a morally bankrupt crock of shit civility is and how it only serves to punish victims and protect victimizers. Bluesky should be ashamed of themselves.

There's a really persistent strain of thought that holds that men are ontologically evil and dangerous (whether it glorifies that danger, or deplores it) and it is fundamentally reactionary. It's the logic of the TERF and the manosphere grifter, and it is antithetical toward the idea of change

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. 
We're on a space station, number 9 I think. 
We're on the promenade and Dr Bashir is sitting and having a coffee chat with Chief Miles Edward O'Brien, who can perfectly fold a fitted sheet with one hand. O'Brien, who can beat you at tic tac toe in 2 moves, looks rather grumpy while taking a big swig of coffee from his future space coffee mug. Closed caption reads, "That's your fifth cup of coffee in 20 minutes."

'Incredibly dystopian': ICE enforcement upends lives for rural Delaware communities ICE crackdowns have sparked fear in immigrant communities along the Delaware-Maryland border, upending residents’ lives.

Abandoned cars line highways in rural southern Delaware, silent signs of ICE’s growing presence. As arrests surge, immigrant communities retreat. Families in #Dagsboro, #Frankford, #Millsboro and #Seaford share what life looks like under Trump’s crackdown.

A Stripe rep hung up on me when they realized they told me they're disallowing "LGBTQ content" in transactions, so either they're slipping up more or just being more honest about their real intentions.

Keep the pressure up, keep calling, maybe start recording what they're telling you.

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels β€œtoo much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

Keep calling. Keep sending physical letters. Do not stop at the slightest hint of them budging.

Do not let the momentum die.

Fictional kinks can't hurt me but a fascist regime very much can and will.

If you genuinely think fictional content (yes, even the "too gross" ones) is WORSE than fascism, reprioritize your life.

I can curate what fictional content I engage with.
I can't content warning my way out of fascism lmfao

Star Trek The Original Series scene. 
We're on the bridge of the original Enterprise, no bloody A, B, C, or D, and see Captain Kirk and Spock, famous workplace associates. Spock is bending over and slightly turning to look at Kirk, who is standing upright and looking up at something. For the record , they are both in uniform. Closed caption reads, "YOUR PROBES HAVE TOUCHED ME, MR. SPOCK."
