GOOD POST

the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.

I'm also trying to raise just a couple extra hundred bucks so I can get these little babies vaccinated and a physical check-up before going to fosters. If anyone can literally donate ANYthing, my Venmo is "Nico-Colaleo". Thanks so much in advance ❤️

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics.

The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

If we're going to keep the institution of segregation we should be asking hard questions about what we're trying to do and what criteria to use instead of sweeping "opinions" on what constitutes performance indicators

The existence of women's sports is a historical one that was reinforced at regular intervals by patriarchal assumptions that women are more fragile and need to be "protected"
It doesn't reflect any statistical truth
(1/2)

Fun fact: Women's sports are segregated not to protect women, but to protect *men* from losing *to* a woman.

Don't believe me? Look up Jackie Mitchell. Struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Then suddenly women were unfit to play baseball.

i am a transgender asian latina antizionist jewish civil rights attorney. every single republican policy is tailor made to personally fuck me over and make my life worse. when you're sitting on this side of the demographic equation the actual motives of the republican party are blindingly obvious

Over the past few days, I've received some messages from people who think I'm being too positive about the trans experience. They think I should focus more on how much dysphoria sucks, or how much suffering there is and can be as a result of it.

Look, I get it. Dysphoria almost killed me. I GET IT.

AND DON'T BE AFRAID TO NORMALIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF TRANSITION AMONG YOUR "CIS" FRIENDS. THE EGG PRIME DIRECTIVE IS BULLSHIT, EVEN THE MILDEST SOCIAL STIGMA (like "it's rude to suggest that someone might be trans") CAN REINFORCE THE CLOSET FOR YEARS. IT IS LITERALLY FINE TO SAY THE QUIET PART LOUD

being trans rules actually and the only downsides are deliberately manufactured by cis people

it is devastating to notice how few benches there are in the world and how some benches have been replaced by weird "leaning" things. the world is incredibly cruel to disabled, elderly, poor, pregnant, tired, homeless, and all people. there should be benches fucking everywhere for everyone

one of my favorite pieces of trans art is 'you make me sick', described in the second image. i saw this post in 2015 and it has always stayed in the back of my mind. i guess it may seem a little outlandish but i have always found it to be poignant

The entire document is insane for multiple reasons bsky.app/profile/dirt...

if you are a rich guy who owns a small business, and you think it would be cool to have a "funny" or "offbeat" company handbook or policies instead of boring HR boilerplate, just imagine what it's gonna be like to sit in a deposition and have people read it out loud to you, cause that WILL happen

man ever since i saw that company handbook someone leaked it was like "how long before this shows up in a lawsuit"

Hey, since @why.bsky.team unblocked me, I'd like to say that so-called "AI" is a venture capital scam that's gonna fuck the economy sideways when the bubble bursts and that Claude specifically is for chumps

People with preexisting conditions also don’t deserve to die

The appropriate reaction to learning that the SPLC had informants in this discord chat is an unequivocal

FUCK THE SPLC

because it means they had someone on the inside knowing that violence was being planned and they stood aside and let that violence happen to us

The important thing to know about UTR is that Jason Kessler led a conspiracy to commit racial violence and no amount of whataboutism changes that.

This is at least the fourth round of this sentiment re: UTR specifically

Cool cool cool. Totally cool. Nothing to worry about.

Exactly this. When they broke into the Louvre it was obvious that stuff was disappearing into a "private collection." You can't fence that shit.

Texas's "10 Commandments in the Classroom" thing is a good reminder to let folks know that the contentious 10 Commandments granite monuments in US courthouses were created as a marketing gimmick for the 1956 Charlton Heston movie (a fact I learned in a book about bookplates, of all things)
