a fun running subplot on this site is seeing annoying people who ostracized themselves on twitter get a new lease on life thanks to people not knowing their whole grift. Only to annoy that whole new crowd the exact same way, because they can’t help themselves.

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

that’s totally fair, and I’m not defending any of his statements. one of the most consistent critiques of his relationships with LGBTQ people on a lot of fronts was that like, being personally kind doesn’t change policy. I want Leo to do better than that

one of the complex legacies of Pope Francis is that he publicly said a lot of very ugly things about ‘gender ideology’, but had personal friendships with a lot of Catholic trans women who felt really supported by him. Leo welcoming them publicly feels like a promising sign. I am EYEING HIM CLOSELY
NEW: Pope Leo XIV will share a meal this Sunday with Alessia Nobile and four fellow transgender Catholic activists, during the Vatican’s Jubilee of the Poor — marking the most significant public encounter shared between a pope and the trans community.

It sure would be nice if DOJ gave a tenth as much of a shit when it comes to compensating them.

Also, despite the yappy words, fuck a Gavin Newsom.
He could, if he wanted, set up an app for people to report people being detained, and to have a fund for legal help to simply do everything to document and rescue these people rather than "Trump a dummy" all the time.
