Okay, so at the request of the lovely @trance.bsky.social , I'm going to tell a story about what happens when a shitty person is "just joking", and then discovers there are consequences.

AKA That Time Kat Started An Antifascist Hallway Riot In The Third Grade.

🖋️ “Stop the FDA From Targeting Chest Binders” hit 100 signers!

💬 Text SIGN PCVLVX to 50409
Stop the FDA From Targeting Chest Binders
Text SIGN PCVLVX to 50409 — On Tuesday, December 16, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued warnings to twelve companies that will affect access to chest binders for transgender people. Chest binders are not a trend or a cosmetic product for many transgender and gender-diverse individuals. They are an important tool that helps people feel safe, comfortable, and able to participate in daily life, school, and work. For many, access to properly designed binders is closely tied to mental well-being and personal dignity. This targeting has been done without meaningful input from medical professionals, transgender people, and advocacy organizations, and could unintentionally limit access to safe products. We demand that you: * Seek transparency from the FDA about any current or proposed actions related to chest binders * Advocate for policies grounded in medical evidence and expert consensus * Ensure that transgender people and healthcare professionals are included in any decision-making process that affects their care and safety Transgender people deserve healthcare and consumer protections that are based on science, compassion, and respect—not fear or misinformation. We urge you to use your position to ensure that federal agencies act responsibly and do not cause harm to vulnerable communities.

San Francisco Bay Area, PLEASE retweet - here's the front desk phone number for KPIX. It's buried deep in the website. 415-362-5550. Press #3 to leave a comment. Call them, say you are boycotting all CBS and Paramount properties until Bari Weiss is replaced
Just as in the case of Jimmy Kimmel's suspension, a consumer backlash is now underway: CBS fans are hearing about the "60 Minutes" imbroglio and calling/emailing local CBS stations to register their concerns. "We have no real support," a reporter at one of those stations told me.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

I made this stained glass mosaic? collage? a few years ago when I was feeling stuck creatively, so I challenged myself to use as many different materials as I could in combination with stained glass.

TIL that this Romulan emblem wasn't designed by the TNG art department but was outsourced to designer and illustrator Monte Thrasher. Mike Okuda refined it into the final version. /1

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Street Action in Nice

My favourite shot of the year, I think. The blur, the lines into the corners, the texture of the rain - it all worked out

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

We report at dawn, when the weather is about to turn - a sweet, pink sunrise like this, we know something has changed in the atmospheric pressure. This will be the first day during which we will not lose light since June. As usual, we do not see a difference, but we want to.
