oh interesting so one of the big reasons they don’t want kids to transition as minors is that they assume post puberty it’s harder to transition so then they’ll just give up and be their natal sex, lol lmao , no it just becomes more expensive and there’s more to reverse

is there any way to fast forward through this next part where we watch all the centrists and people with weird empathy blind spots figure out in real time that the angriest, most annoying leftists they knew were right about everything before this even started or have we just got to go through it...
There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry
b.sharise Not enough Americans equate 100 years of Jim Crow Laws with fascism and that bothers me. Utilizing imagery of Anne Frank and the gestapo instead of lynchings, forced sterilizations (the Mississippi Appendectomies), internment camps, and sun down towns adds an unnecessary layer of distance. It incorrectly asserts that fascism is this foreign thing that the US has never known, much less allowed. That could not be farther from the truth. @seastersjones
the angle from the lady in the pink coat is out and it is worse and you don’t need to make yourself watch it but it makes it absolutely stone cold clear that this was a summary execution for no reason
Blood on the snow in Minneapolis. Abolishing ICE is the *compromise*
The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.
Anyone with an ounce of awareness & basic understanding of US history knew this was coming. It's such a perfect storm & predictable culmination of a diseased society eventually eating itself with gluttonous disregard for anyone but the self. This formula for a society is forever doomed. Greed kills.
Do justice love kindness abolish ICE

A photograph of the seminary gym in knives out. It has the same window.
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Do we just blame NetBastard from now on? I think _yes_
I think there’s a static of believing that 1 is a commonly held belief, and thus 2 shouldn’t be correct.
I'm so goddamn tired of saying this but: this is it.
All the worrying that trans folks have had since he took office? This is why. This is the first step on a short road that ends with the criminalization of trans existence in the US. It isn't doomsaying. It isn't panic. It's right in front of us.
So now I print all the forms again, sign 3 copies of everything, write another check for $500 and start over.

Well, after a year of going back and forth with the California court system, they’ve dismissed my kid’s name change.
I followed all their fiddly fucking diy instructions on the website, pieced together the cryptic ‘do this over’ returns, and they fucked off with my money.
