I would also die before finishing something important to me, they're not special

Andrew Hickey @andrewhickey.500songs.com · Oct 24

If any of you feel bad about your procrastination, this is a good sign that there's always time to finish your project. This was announced fifty-one years ago. Ellison died six years ago. Forty-eight of the writers who had stories intended for it have also died. But it's finally out...

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log.

This tells me two things:

1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day.

This wouldn't just ban federal funds from directly funding gender-affirming care, it would be an effective ban on ANY facility that receives ANY federal funding for ANY reason from providing gender-affirming care.

It's a de-facto ban.

Call your congressmen.

NEWS: House Appropriations Committee Republicans released their spending bill for Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. The legislation would prohibit taxpayer dollars for any type of gender-affirming care for transgender people. This would include programs like Medicaid

everyone who'd been pointing this out, for years, as being one of the major talking pts of every fascist & fascism-enabling status quo has been trans, mainly trans women, & the gentler voices among us have been ignored & the rest talked down to or accused of being TERFs w/o even looking at us for it

I feel like everyone gets how the racist secret police and blood and soil nationalism are reminiscent of the Third Reich, but there's even less daylight between how this movement views white babies and how the Nazis did.

👀 NEW: The group behind Project 2025 wants a "Manhattan Project" for more babies.

We have the Heritage Foundation's closely-held draft paper taking a hard turn into "pronatalism."

It pitches ripping up economic policy to induce straight, married couples to have more children.

Liberals are starting to say shit like, "trans people asked for too much too fast," and I'll remind your souless asses that we actually didn't ask for anything. we were minding our own business and quietly improving our healthcare and you (cis) decided to do a pogrom against us for no reason.

A lot of people think that because they don’t see much homophobia in their day-to-day life, it’s not an issue anymore.

What they tend to forget is that the bulk of homophobia only shows up when there’s queer people around.

Kat Tenbarge @kattenbarge.bsky.social · Sep 3

I saw someone earnestly say they didn’t understand why a gay politician would be closeted “in this day and age”… do people not realize that due to the continued and arguably resurgent existence of homophobia some people never even come out to themselves.

You know, shit like "Palantir" fetishizes power so you can "get it," the reasoning. They're all evil fucks anyway. So I guess this just fetishizes suffering? Which is on brand, but I suspect they were just looking for a term. To say it makes people who care about art mad is only a bonus to them.

In torment-nexus news, I have just learned that there is an AI outfit, partnered with the US Department of Defense and specialising in "foreign policy, national security, and geopolitical risk", and it is called Omelas, and they explain that this is in tribute to Le Guin, and no. Just no.

trans women have been prime targets of fascism, and thus, at the forefront of anti-fascist resistance for as long as we have existed, folks

Please do not "trans women and girls are extra vulnerable to Nazi recruitment online" in my mentions. I will remove you.

It's nonsense. There have been members of minorities in nazi lone wolf terror as long as it's existed. But there's no reason to collude in the idea that it's a trans problem.

Transparency @transparency.bsky.social · Aug 27

I am bothered when gamers call experiences that don't reward them extrinsically 'pointless'. There's a tendency to omitt activities a game presents as 'nothing', despite those activities clearly being 'something'. You only run to the right in Super Mario Bros if you ignore everything inbetween.

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY.

Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

Disability rights matter and they always have.

Disabled people deserve autonomy.

The eugenicists in charge are happy to weaponize untold generations of ableist bureaucratic institutions against YOU as well.

In the US, if they call you crazy, you have no rights.

There is no "due process" by which those accused of insanity can regain autonomy.

This WILL be weaponized against anyone the regime dislikes.

But it should never happen to anyone, including insane people.

MAHA announced reeducation camps but sane people love to pretend that won't apply to them.

Your ableism keeps you from seeing the truth - they will put those struggling with mental health in the same camps as political dissisents, and there will be no distinction inside or outside.

Nowhere is safe

Just saw something about a soldier who was put on involuntary psychiatric leave for speaking up for Palestine.

What sane people collectively fail to understand is that there is no due process to having your life destroyed and being imprisoned against your will, if they call you crazy.

The last 30 years of pop culture could be said to be singularly defined by Disney insisting they can capture boys, despite boys watching fuckin Lion King or whatever. Little boys watch Frozen, who cares? Disney does. They built an empire on princesses and they sold out all of art to get away from it

Another thing about k pop demon hunters: if you make and market media directly for young women you will make insane money. But these things are only funded once in a blue moon &when they are a lot of old men in suits act surprised and then they will go back to funding something for men again
