I mean, my favorite band is The National

In "The Dad Rock That Made Me A Woman," Niko Stratis tells her journey of self-discovery through her love of dad rock. @nicolefroio.bsky.social interviews the author, asking why the genre is so appealing to queer and trans people.

Why Do Queer And Trans People Listen To Dad Rock?

The earnestness of dad rock makes queer and trans people unlikely fans of the genre. Nicole Froio investigates why.

You might want to look into FL-41 lenses at some point. They’re for photosensitivity and migraine reduction but don’t have the side effect of increasing photosensitivity which wearing regular sunglasses longterm can do!

The different ways my 3 cats indicate they want into/out of a room are so funny:
Inch (8) scratches frantically at the door while crying his "mama help me" cry
Pickle (14) wails and yowls loudly outside the door
Finn (14) makes unblinking eye contact until you walk towards the door and open it

"I wrote because I believed in an idea that feels almost silly now: that visibility would lead to acceptance.

That if people just knew the stories of trans people, understood our humanity, they’d stop seeing us as threats or curiosities or political pawns."

People who have documented their lives online are discovering the dark side of digital permanence.

Fenway health in Boston has stopped providing gender affirming care to trans youth.

I was previously on the board of this organization and I've never been so disgusted with their leadership cowardly capitulating like this.

Alt text:
Statement from Fenway Health explaining that due to new federal requirements effective October 1, 2025, they can no longer provide medical gender-affirming care such as hormones and puberty blockers to patients under 19, but all other services for patients of all ages will continue unchanged.

Police union leaders defending jan 6 after watching what those cops went through should have been the clarifying moment if nothing else (and there had been plenty before) bsky.app/profile/nota...

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

The cops are not on your side. They are not good people caught up in a bad system. They are making a choice to refuse to examine their biases as they brutally enforce unjust laws in a racist, xenophobic manner.

The liberal elite delusion that police are broadly on the side of truth and justice has put us all in existential danger.

I’ve got my first playable version of my Gwen Stacy deck assembled, ala my Pink Sugar deck. Any thoughts on cards to swap out for the more meh ones? Would love to add more blink/flicker as long as it’s cute critters or hot ladies. moxfield.com/decks/c3QIik...

Another #atlantapride in the books. A kind person complimented my Supernatural tattoo and gave me a kandi bracelet. I love my community. I love my people. No fascist can take that away.

A close up shot of a light skinned person’s wrist wearing two bracelets. One is a flat rubber bracelet saying LOVE IS LOVE in rainbow letters. The other is a rainbow bead bracelet with letter beads spelling out ATL PRIDE.
