Screenshot of a tweet by Matt Walsh. His tweet says: “This is the enemy. Wretched evil parasites, motivated by resentment and hatred, openly plotting to erase our culture and identity and replace it with a dystopian communist hodgepodge of third world dysfunction. This is the fight for now and the future. Get in the game. This is it.” Below it is a quoted tweet from Greg Price that says: “Jennifer Welch to Mehdi Hasan at Zohran’s victory party: ‘Americans have no culture except for multiculturalism… Crusty white people need to learn how to embrace it.’” The quoted tweet includes a photo showing four people in conversation at what looks like a crowded event, with one woman holding a microphone while speaking to three men.

Matt Walsh has been crashing out for the last day and it's beautiful.

Nearly all of American music culture basically owes its entire existence to Black musicians. From Rock n Roll to hip hop and EDM.

They're transvestigating the wife of the president of France completely insane.

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

We want to congratulate the 9 fencers from our club who completed the International Skirmishing Association's 3rd campaign and earned their colors: (2 black, 3 blue, and 4 red)! Everyone is looking forward to the next campaign which will start up in a few months. #HEMA

Had an amazing time at the last muster of Champaign 3 o can’t wait to get back to skirmishing later this year!

I would love to talk as a disabled trans woman who teaches as well as fights in HEMA

Quick what's it called when almost every single trans femme and trans woman you know cannot find a job?

I'm sure it's not a cultural shift that's occurring and were all just hysterical.

If it's an 'authoritarian drive' in China to remove trans people from public view, what's it called in the UK and US?

The average first year law student I teach was born after 9/11. 😩

A bit later then I normally do it but it's that time of year again for the Yearly Art Summary!

I had a pretty good year art-wise until about August when the stressors of life and work got to me so bad that I struggled to put anything out for the rest of the year

It's going to be great when stuff like disability assessors are replaced by AusterityBot 3000, as if things aren't bad enough already on that front

The truth is, they think they want to be free, but often, the dizzying heights of freedom will overwhelm your twink. Leave them in a well padded cage equipped with food and water with Neon Genesis playing on a nearby screen.

Copy of the book Gender/Fucking: The Pleasures and Politics of Living in a Gendered Body. The book is laying against a tree trunk with little flowers around it. The book cover is lavender with the top half of a naked character wih breasts and the bottom half of a naked character with a penis.

Screenshot reading: Featuring critical essays, erotica, and stitched-up memories, Gender/Fucking explores sexual arousal as a site of knowledge about the self and world.Taking the idea of intellectual masturbation a bit too literally, Florence Ashley draws on their experiences as a transfeminine activist, academic, and slut to interrogate what it means to live in a gendered body in our difficult yet occasionally loving world. With personal essays about the fetishization of trans bodies, recovering from surgery, and losing hope, Florence’s collection celebrates the queer messiness of sex and identity.Through the embrace of its raw and lyrical prose, Gender/Fucking invites the reader into the intimate world of academic smut to ask what it means to be horny on main in a sex-negative world-and what power it might hold.

Picture of the first page of the book reading “Preface” and with the following sentences highlighted: “Academic smut should be a recognized genre. It merges two of the things that make me horny – theory, and sex. In that order.”

🚨📚 Today is release day for my new book Gender/Fucking: The Pleasures and Politics of Living in a Gendered Body!
 
Asking what we can learn from sexual arousal, the book takes an incredibly raw and thought-provoking look at community, queerness, fetishization, trauma, and hope.

Sweeny: "ive been objectified since childhood because of my breasts, it's dehumanizing"

a gender swapped version of Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides from Dune. She is working in a Starbucks & her nametag says “Muad'Dib”. The starbucks logo has been replaced by a version depicting a sandworm instead of a mermaid. Paula is holding a cup with the name “Alia” written on it. The caption at the bottom of the image says “The Pumpkin Spice Must Flow”.

starbucks continues to have great benefits for all trans employees on Arrakis, even after Paula Atreides unionized the majority of their stores on the planet.

Disability isn't our entire personality, but it is something where the options are to be silently repressed or to scream it out loud for the world to hear.

I think many ppl didn't get the timing of this announcement. A huge slap in the face to the #disabled

Which will soon include you

From the beginning the #disability community told you this was by design. They wanted to get rid of us, we were a burden on services and ableds were fine with that.

Admit it, you were.

Maybe now you have LC and have had an epiphany. Too late.

I really don't understand why they can't just let people ride the damn plane in their wheelchairs? They have that on most buses where they just kind of strap you in. Why do wheelchairs become luggage on airplanes?
