Friends of 🏳️‍⚧️ persuasion—I'm fleshing out a conceptual paper on gender as practice of literacy(ies) and interested in discussing things with anyone who has skin in the game and gender studies on the brain. DMs very open.
ppl really use 'homogeneous' rather than 'homogenous' huh?
Democrats do not understand that leftists are not democrats
The next time a cis person asks me my pronouns I’m going to say ‘guess’

Learning that “glamor” comes from “grammar” is the highlight of my week.
Trans privilege is being granted the label ‘terrorist’ without having earned it through insurrectionary action💅🏼

There should be no forgiveness for Ezra Klein, Gavin Newsom, or anyone else who whitewashed Charlie Kirk's image in the wake of his death. They participated in a cleanup job that is facilitating Kirk's status as a "martyr." They have had a hand in the harm the administration will do in Kirk's name.

Why isn’t every local news broadcast opening with, “What are the ‘Groypers’, and how do you know the signs of your son is part of the deadly gang?”
Mainstream media: the shooter called someone a fascist, therefore he was on the left, because a United States republican in 2025 wouldn’t oppose fascism
Unless it’s hip-hop or tattoos on Latinos or trans ppl peeing, then society is crumbling
Struggling with the way mainstream media seems to be misunderstanding ‘nihilism’ as ‘free of ideological commitments’. Like, because the bullet casings’ ultra-right references were mediated by brainrot memes, the media then says that the shooter wasn’t ‘political’
TYLER ROBINSON: “let me dress up as ultra-right cartoons for Halloween and reference memes on my bullet casings inspired by Nick Fuentes’ “war on Charlie Kirk” Groyper army”

MAINSTREAM MEDIA: “shooter had no evident ideological motivations, let’s make this about trans people”
Mainstream media is really going to bury Tyler Robinson’s clear Groyper affiliation in this Charlie Kirk coverage huh?

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.

Press Conference: No "Transgender" Or "LGBTQ" Symbols Found At Kirk's Shooting
Yesterday, several media outlets claimed or strongly implied that "transgender symbols" were found at the scene of the gun used by Charlie Kirk's shooter. This turned out to be false.

MA dems removed almost all of the language on trans rights from their platform. all of this from the 2021 platform was stripped
there's a special place in my heart for papers whose footnotes are more interesting than their main content

it's truly wild that the Democrats have watched all the protest movements of the past few years and seen it as an opportunity to cultivate zero young leaders
