so fuck the idea that any of this is a fair fight. now my life is at risk because the pedophiles in charge have decided that me and my friends are the real dangers and they have made it increasingly impossible to oust them.
the number of voter approved ballot measures that our representatives have or are currently trying to overturn is absurd. they tried to put forward a voter led initiative to force fair maps and the secretary of state changed the language at the last minute specifically to make it confusing
Look, I'm not gonna be mad about democratic gerrymandering because I live in a state that voters have twice approved anti-gerrymandering measures and the redistricting commission drew shitty maps twice, which the supreme Court rejected and then proceeded to just do it anyway
looks like he brought a bag lunch, smart
we gotta just start slapping shitheads like karp when they say the working class is male and the educated elites are female
no, we can't afford the 700 dollars to get a new machine that won't accidentally lop off a finger.
but also, we've decided to spend millions partnering with copilot and if you don't figure out what to do with it, you're fired
if youve ever worked a job where you or a fellow employee has had to convince a boss to spend even the smallest amount of money to make a process more safe or efficient, you realize how fucking absurd this is
I was talking to friends about this yesterday but the 'ai' push at my job would be far less ghoulish if there was any vision for how to use it.
instead we get execs who decided to waste money on it yelling at their peons to figure out a use for it or else you'll get punished or fired
from the article: “"She wasn't taking pictures in restricted areas. She wasn't trying to go places she shouldn't be," the source continued. "This is just a very large transgender woman, being a fan, walking around."” https://www.wired.com/story/madison-square-garden-jim-dolan-surveillance-machine/
glad that the (otherwise well reported) wired article about the dolans using facial recognition tech to track a trans woman in the garden to keep her off the MSG cameras included the extremely important detail that she was “very large.” you don’t want anyone forgetting she was monstrous to behold
if they went after these people the way they go after leftists they would round up every single one protesting outsider and try them as a terrorist organization
once again the pro-lifers that stand for "peace" have struck again (attempted to burn down another planned parenthood)
if we fail, it could be seen as a tacit approval of Trump's conduct. instead we're going to refuse to attempt impeachment so it's clear this approval is full throated
idk maybe the timeline is murky, but this kid loved Kanye, and then he loved drake
look, are split and glass awful? absolutely, but hedwig is 2/2 at predicting guys who should be forgotten
Do horses want cake? We conducted an investigation into statements published by @bencollins.bsky.social in the print edition of @theonion.com.
real fucking sick of the fact that multiple news outlets have posted stories about young people flocking to Catholicism and how cool Catholicism is the same week that trans people are having their rights stripped away by people who think that we're harming children by existing
Catholic school beat into my head that bad things happen to bad people and just existing as a queer is bad, so why wouldn't that be the fucking explanation for every random event in my life. and yeah, i know it's bullshit, but that what happens when they beat it into your head as a kid
and I'm still fucking working through stuff. it has gotten so much better for me in the last 18 months, but I still can't shake the sense when something goes wrong in my life that it is my fault for being a "sinner". leaky roof? shouldn't have sucked that dick.
adults telling a child that they are evil and going to hell if they don't "fix" themself does so much damage to somebody growing up. it took me years to grapple with my gender and sexuality because of latent Midwest conservatism and a healthy dose of Catholic nonsense
I believe that if you are gay and/or trans and you went to a private Catholic school, you should be able to sue the Church for mental and physical distress
the idea that conversion talk therapy is any less damaging that physical torture conversion therapy is ridiculous
8-1. would love to hear the democratic party dead-enders spin this one for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my work does a "wear purple for IWD" event. they should make all the cis people wear pink white and blue for TDOV.
A CRT on top of a 90s PC (with floppy disk) showing the Trans Pride Flag
Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility!
We're everywhere and we're cool.
Here's the trans pride flag 🏳️⚧️ on a mid-90s Pentium running DOS.
I really can't get over the fact that this delays this into the next year where insurance won't cover it. if it's not a legal hurdle, it's a financial one. there's always gonna be some roadblock they're gonna throw up
A trans teen in north Carolina was denied a breast reduction a treatment for macromastia simply because they're transgender. This is explicit discrimination.

Harry Potter tattoo regret rate is an order of magnitude higher than regret for Gender Reassignment Surgery and yet no one has been brave enough to suggest we legislate Harry Potter tattoos.
if Anita Bryant was still alive and promoting Florida orange juice, you couldn't pay me enough to drink it. how is Harry Potter any different?
