Failed poet. No book is a bad book! She. Her.

Same! I think they're both commonly understood to mean "a female person" (trans inclusive), and the current cultural psychic obsession with pedophilia has people trying to subdivide in ways that are absurd.
Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.
I don’t think it’s accurate to call the mid-century burgeoning middle class an “aristocracy.” It was an incredibly (and relatively) privileged class, but fu crooned differently from an aristocracy (and that’s important).
Thank you. Parameters of the critique are important!
I've never understood the outrage at people using girl (a common feminine signifier) vs. women (a common feminine signifier). It's always felt like looking for a fight.
What a weirdo.
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
Did a spit take! (Of disgusting bitter hop water)
Why do people always think the thing that hurts minorities is a “smarter path?” Humble yourselves. Listen to your neighbors.
british person anytime you don’t speak british english: “where i’m from we call them ‘frizzy jingle jimmies’”
my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy
When you die, you don’t have to face yourself or the crimes you’ve committed.
Someone tell these ageing politicians that trans rights is one of the defining leftist politics of our era and that they signal their irrelevance to the young, progressive electorate they hope to court by opposing it or declaring it unimportant
I often think: “What do you love enough, that you are happy to do it, even when not in the mood?” Anyone else?
Fuck yeah. Power of block and ignore.
Always has been!
Jfc.
Well good cause I like theirs!
Haha oh no it’s my dad.
Damnit, tricked by the horse again!
Exactly! More guarded or saavy transphobes might couch their bigotry in “just asking questions.” But what would you call someone who is “just asking questions” about whether the world is round?
I think it’s helpful to reframe how bigots see trans people. They do not have “differing opinions.” They don’t “not believe we’re women/men. They believe a conspiracy theory about our gender and sex.
Honestly I get wizards. If I had enough power that no one could make me work a day job? I’d also rock those loose-robes, cryptic smile, hermit vibes.
Petty and authoritarian, nice! Reminds me of my principal, who held an impromptu assembly b/c one student’s nudes were leaked—and then, while fondling a rock, told us about how they would stone loose women in the Bible.
Getting correctly gendered at the car rental—despite the “M” on my license—is pretty great ngl.
Wait tell me more about the director I know nothing.
Pretty suspicious tbh. I mean they never promise other Germans are fine. Who’s ever heard of a CIS Nazi?
Self-discovery is, actually, one of the revolutionary functions of literature. There’s a reason insular religious communities don’t let people read most things!
😭😭 Not my memories of my science teacher giving me a rubber band to tie up my hair and be dress-code conpliant
How many feral hogs?
Hey you ok?
If it were really just for medical purposes, “Sex at Birth” would insufficient information. At baseline you’d also need most recent horomone levels, a history of surgeries, and probably a karyotype. This feels like bigotry in the cloak of health.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey condemns anti-trans hate in wake of school shooting, calls for unity: “Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community or any other community out there has lost their sense of common humanity” #NOH8
Omg I need to know more stellaris girlies!
Scapegoating trans women is an old tactic, but worth thinking about how this is not substantially different from right-wing pundits trying to blame “mental health” for shootings. The goal is always to use this violence to identify an outgroup.
Evergreen, and honestly one of the few enduring bi-partisan agreements.
Idk there’s probably Womp Rat girls? But likely more in the vein of “puppy girl” than “horse girls.”
I’m not saying my perspective is 100% correct, but I have insight into how the politics mainstream Dems are pushing harm my community, specifically. Insight based on lived e patience that you lack. Really just saying “listen to trans people about trans policy.”
My point is you are being cruel to a persecuted demographic, rather than listening to a group you are not a part of. It’s arrogant, it’s condescending, and it puts the entirety of the onus on a minority to submit to your perspective.
What an unkind and dismissive reaction to someone who is already experiencing political violence.
Fashion magazines turned out to be far more serious in their opposition to authoritarianism than the supposedly respectable newspapers.
It’s really funny to see Americans use the threat of fascism and eugenics to try to coerce people to support ghouls like Newsom when sweeping homeless encampments IS in fact a manifestation of eugenics. You’re not against fascism, you just think Trump’s version is tacky.
Jfc how am I supposed to join the gooner high club?
(Which is to say—Dems don’t need to worry about this “issue.” The simple response that all Dems can and should give is “I support the rights of all my constituents.”
Really hate that they have the sign, specifically.
“LGBTQ” is actually a list of kinds of people, not rhetoric, or an “issue” to be addressed. If we don’t “play” in middle America (which I would disagree with anyways), then that is a failure of our media and politicians.
“We treated them like demons, and THIS is their response?”
In a bold move to cement its position, the new junta seized control of the main transport artery between the nation's political capital - which they now control - and its financial one, which they do not. Armed loyalists roam the site demanding to see freedom-of-movement papers. bit.ly/4fWlaKR
first they came for the trannies, and i spoke out against them too because honestly how dare they expect anything other than extermination. its their own damn fault for being so uppity and annoying, demanding things like "rights" and "not being subject to genocide" vote blue no matter who
Banger.
that kid openAI killed? that's what social murder actually means.
They say “a lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes” If you circulated the lie, you should circulate the truth too
Michigan AG Dana Nessel comes out swinging against University of Michigan for stopping care for trans youth.

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.
Just saw a Lindt chocolate ad that was DEF foreplay. Kink? IDK straight people are weird.
You should check our Shadowrun: Hong Kong!
The young people who would have been most likely to lead the domestic anti-fascist fight in 2025 were repeatedly arrested, beat, jailed, mocked by elites and non-elites over the past 5 years. This was bipartisan. I find it interesting whenever some people ask 'where the young people are' now.
Lololol they’re a joke
Plenty of people have called Trump out, and called him Fascist, over many years. That's not new--Newsome is just doing it in a style that feels cathartic to a lot of people, IMO. IDK about Pritzker and redistricting, but it is for sure something he should do!
Classy and empathetic.
Pritzker is all over headlines *right bow* for saying “don’t fuck with my city.”
I’ll be sure to feel extra hopeful in the Newsome camps.
Reminder that when the RFK Jr / MAHA / anti-vaxx types complain about "Big Pharma", they're not mad at the Big--they're mad at the *Pharma*. They aren't opposed to unjust concentrations of resources & excess costs. They're opposed to *medicine*, and more broadly, *medical science*.
What a bizarre and unkind thing to say.
Ahhh Sacrificio. So sacrificable. So Italian. So Twink. We miss you dearly.
The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country
I have bb this energy for *anyone* who decides they want to take away my autonomy.
Would build that it’s not just “AFAB” bodies. They want all kinds of bodies, just in their terms.
Why are we standing Newsome when this man is right here?
Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."
No, doctor! I am the mother of Pagliacci!!
I believe this is just called “whiteness.”
Co-co-signed. And I’d argue that the full idea is “other people don’t have inferiority *because they have opinions I disagree with*” Aka if your interiority is wrong, it doesn’t exist.
“But of course we could never ask the hard-working factory owners to pay us more! They already take on enough risk!”
Honestly I think that still aspirational—but I hear you. “We tell you you need to sacrifice” if like 90% of this shit.
Pedro Pascal and Hunter Schafer when.
This! “Kitchen table economic issues” has been code for “centrist fluff” for a long time.
Idk if men are inherently physically stronger than women!! Maybe, but idk, does it matter too much when someone's got a weapon? And we humans are known for our tools lol
I don’t really think that there’s any difference between calling human beings “NPCs” or calling them cockroaches or “human animals” or any other classic rhetoric of dehumanization and I find it pretty worrying that people who are otherwise concerned with respectability have adopted its use
Is this some sort of generational war? Defunding education to pay for the elderly's comforts? Or...
been at the eric adams scavenger hunt all day. mostly we were in a crawlspace under a house in howard beach learning “how to out-hustle the rats.” not sure what this does for the campaign
Fuck yeah.
Oooof. You're not wrong!
SHIT UOU GOING TO NOGHTMARELAND?
Wild that “woke” only goes one way. “People should have dignity? Woke.” “I’m afraid of the homeless and the minorities if the subway? Not woke (somehow).”
“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
I think that, if you believe your AGAB means have more authority over someone's experiences than they do 9b/c they're trans), then you don't actually believe that transition is possible.
There they live like the old Robin Hood of England: they say many young gentlemen flock to him every day. AYLI 1.1 #ShakespeareSunday
Pregnancy and childbirth are dramatically radicalizing experiences for a lot of women, who often find themselves discarded, condescended to, and hurt at a moment of profound vulnerability. For some women,’the experience makes them feminists. For others, it makes them paranoid, eugenicist quacks.
GAVIN NEWSOM: i was born to climb to the highest positions of power and i don't care who i have to step on or jetison along the way!! this is owed to me. i deserve to be president because i am better than all of you... "people" THE RESISTANCE: this is the only man who can restore our democracy
I dunno man maybe we should all talk about patriarchy more
Vaccines? Naw, full of snakes. Nicotine for children? Sign me up!
Oh sweetie. Can't hold you, but here to talk if you want a friend.
I'm not liking this new trend of "actually men are the submissive gender, look at how they get ordered around in war" girl that's called exploitation patriarchy and indoctrination, genders are not "naturally" anything. Just because a "fact" makes you feel good doesn't make it true
