I like tech, art, jewelry making, and caring about things and people. What’s the right balance between things that matter and things that are pretty? I don’t fuckin know, you get what you get · amateur jeweller · they / them · 🏳️⚧️

even in a scenario like this where you might need to take down a post that doesn’t align with ToS, responding sarcastically does nothing but propagate negative sentiment across the social graph & raise further questions about whether Bluesky has a conservative political bias.

And this being done in a sport where we have been participating without issue for 50(!) years. Which really lays bare the lie behind mealy-mouthed ‘legitimate concerns’ and ‘fairness’.
As I keep saying, fascism cannot function without the help of millions of centrists and liberals doing the work on the ground. Thanks to people akin to Newsom and Buttigieg, there's yet another trans person who can't play games with her friends and is now more marginalized than she already was.
SCOOP: The United States Tennis Association (USTA) quietly updated its player eligibility policy to ban trans women from competing as women in their leagues, tournaments and competitions in order to comply with Trump's anti-trans sports executive order. The policy went into effect on Monday.
