I wonder if there’s a Robin Laws-ism about this. I guess you’d say his observation that "the party should never FAIL to kick down the next door in a dungeon crawl" obliquely qualifies.
Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.
Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)
these 'reviews' are being conducted by transphobes with pre-determined outcomes.
labour are murdering these children by denying them life-saving care.
@lucympowell.bsky.social and belong in prison.
this stuff is an actual scandal that will eventual break in like 10 years time.
To free-associate a bit: someone skote the other day that suburbs exist entirely because of the cities they malign... and commute to.
I think Conan-esque dark fantasy appeals because it depicts belligerently rugged self-reliance: suburbs offer on a similar fantasy, just to a lesser degree.
“They committed suicide because they were depressed. It’s a shame they didn’t call our mental health line.”
They were depressed because they were about to be evicted. A toll free number wasn’t going to fix that. But resources would.
Ah, I was just thinking about this book today!
This is timely. I want to relay a story about some egregious behavior I have witnessed regarding the prosecution of @anniejump.bsky.social. She asked me to make this a post telling the story.
tl;dr A lawyer lied about her behavior to a federal prosecutor, potentially prejudicing the judge.
Does Twitter still respond to DMCA takedown notices or does that law not apply either
losing an hour on International Women’s Day feels right

Pauly Walnuts very seriously telling someone that “it’s called Broad daylight because women light up the world”
international women’s day
Does it utterly piss me off that I (and many people like me) left my specific “how can we know how brains very unlike ours perceive the world?” field because no one wanted to pay us to investigate that? Yep.
Am I even angrier about it watching people debate whether LLMs are sentient? OH FUCK YES.
Did they let twitch chat write their vows too?
The writers of the OSS Simple Sabotage Manual, looking in from the afterlife
I realise this is like focusing on kitchen hygiene in the Titanic at this point, but:
the LLM the NEH asked "Does the following relate at all to DEI?" (!) usually - though inconsistently - cited language documentation and preservation as grounds for grant termination.
("Yes" => "Defund")
An article that is titled "Joe Rogan admits straight men are the real danger to women - then blames trans women anyway As Steve-O spoke about compassion for transgender people, the podcaster returned to familiar anti-trans attacks, even while acknowledging that men are the real problem."
Reminder that Joe Rogan fuckin sucks.
DON’T FUCKING WARN THEM JUST DO IT
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
It's very funny (derogatory) that Big Brain Centrists will constantly post "errm trans should stop talking about Newsom if they/them don't want him in the news ☝️🤓" but literally every single day trans people have to block a landslide of Newsomites telling us to shut up and die already.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

A similar meme format to the drake meme, butthe left-hand side are screengrabs of Geordi LaForge of Star Trek TNG either holding up his hand or pointing with an approving eyebrow raise. The right hand quadrants are respectively labeled, "Reconciliation & Healing," and in block capitals, "Motherfucking Consequences"
We have alternatives, luckily
Awww, I have two kitty siblings who are codependent like this.
Every time I see his name my brain goes "the snowball guy?" and have to remind myself that was Jim Inhofe who’s dead now.
Okay that does it (unbrowns your Jenkin)
Kalops is also much improved by a can or too of dark beer. I’ve only ever tasted ones made with stouts but I’m sure other beers give it their own special something.
