I teared up reading this. Jake really did my story justice and understood my message, when I could have been very easily treated as "just a joke"

Let's do this, y'all

Time to fight for trans rights with the powers of science and whimsy combined! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🧬 💖

please don't rehab this man.

he is an antisemitic white nationalist. He's upset about the war because we're doing it in collaboration with Israel and he thinks it's Jewish people destroying the world. That's it. That's why he's contrite.

Good lord, I knew it was bad, but 3%??

And for that 3% you must now pay more than Netflix monthly while being splattered with ads, porn, ads for porn, Nazis, ads for Nazi porn, every half-coagulated thought that dribbles out of Elon Musk’s barf-hole, & ads for Nazi/Musk barf porn.

Federal Judge Vacates Kennedy Declaration, Permanently Blocks Trump's Trans Youth Care Hospital Threats The judgment overturns the Kennedy Declaration which has been used to force 40 hospitals to drop trans youth care.

1. This weekend, a federal judge permanently blocked funding threats to providers and hospitals that provide trans youth care.

The judge also blocked "any similar policy."

Hospitals have NO excuse and must return to providing care under many blue state laws.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

I just found out that an AI scammer is impersonating me in their spam campaign. I am LIVID.

Please, please share this post. Warn people. I’m horrified that someone might be ripped off in my name.

No one is safe from being impersonated like this.

A picture of the note unrolled. In the same child’s handwriting it reads “beware of the future!!”

Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…

There is a Hookland dialect word – woldclip –which means to be summoned by the woods, to ache so much for wildness that you almost need to run towards its entanglement. I've been told that this portion of spring is known as a 'woldclip week'. – #MattAdams, 1982

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans.

For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project.

Tradwife movement ‘attracts men who are hostile to women’ The strongest predictor of support for women staying at home and deferring to their husband is not, as researchers expected, chivalry but ‘hostile sexism’

"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women"

Apparently this is not what researchers "expected". Which makes one wonder: had these researchers thought about it for 30 seconds?

Wes Streeting: 'Every trans person deserves safety and respect' Writing for PinkNews, Wes Streeting says he wants to reassure trans youngsters that they have not been forgotten.

Pink News have now:

- Made journalists redundant in search of a ‘reporter-free newsroom’. This includes one of the UK’s only trans reporters covering our community, and many other talented queer reporters.

- Uncritically platformed Wes Streeting spinning taking healthcare away from trans kids.
