As I contemplate how or even if I should review a scrubbed HP fan fic, to offer an honest but critical review in a sea of anti-trans sycophants.

I can’t help but dwell on familiar issues I have with how stories about pregnancy give the illusion of choice to side step the issue of abortion.

I’d really love to support your cause, but using AI-Gen art for the poster makes me question your practices and whether you’re actually community oriented or just one well intentioned white person on the internet.

It’s giving safety pin and blue bracelet.

I wonder if I saw more ads for it because I follow a lot of Spanish language social media accounts.

I suspect it’s award bait.

I’ve seen a bunch on TikTok, but not much on any other social media and not trailers in the theatre.

As a kid was it was Serpent and the Rainbow, but only because I didn’t see People Under the Stairs until I was an adult.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

can’t wait to see if this website runs on essentially the same model as a “speakwithanmd/com” or an “all family pharmacy” or a “wellness company” ie: the physical manifestations & fulfillment centers of the far right alt-medical disinfo machine 🥲

Dr. Oz announces that TrumpRx.gov is now live.

If you click, you'll see — it's essentially just a banner ad for now.

U.S. officials have said it will formally launch in January 2026 and help Americans find discounted drugs.

KOSA just got a bunch of new cosponsors so, y'all, kindly tell them to knock it the fuck off.
Make this bill unpassable for the sake of keeping the open internet, enough of this censorship BS and "protect the children" excuses.

This whole thread!!! when I talk about YA authors getting picked up to write romantasy, it's overwhelmingly white authors writing het romance. but that represents just a fraction of what's actually happening in the YA space.

Alex Brown 🇵🇸 (they/them) @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social · 2d

There are real conversations to be had about thematic issues with romantasy, what publishers are buying vs what they're rejecting, YA being colonized by NA, etc. But what ends up getting the most marketing, into celebrity book clubs, and on bestsellers lists isn't representative of the whole genre.

This.

Remember: just because they don't have national name recognition, doesn't mean they're not qualified. Both Betty Yee and Tony Thurmond have worked w/in CA state government, and know the ropes. They're good.

KP's never worked in Sacramento or w/ the Legislature in-depth.

Katie 🌉 @ktpersists.bsky.social · 2d

this is a good thread! Betty Yee was just endorsed by the Progressive Democrats, I hope she starts to get more attention in this race and that we don’t end up with a villaraigosa or caruso as gov

Celeste Pewter @celestepewter.bsky.social · 2d

Okay, I really don’t want to keep talking about this, since frankly - I hate KP. She’s an example of toxic management, and I saw what she did to my friends.

But I’m really disturbed by the number of women, specifically white women on Threads and on here, justifying her cursing at staff.
