Before the first episode I thought this show was gonna be mostly serious like TNG or Voyager or Picard, and I did wonder how someone so chill could be so highly promoted in a world of people with sticks up their asses, but I now think it's more of a live action Lower Decks, and I'm here for it.
Oh my god, so many people are canceling Nitro that it's having issues processing it, cook 'em hard bois.
don't forget chocolate mousse x2
It's not a perfect article, but it has loads of pictures and voices of trans folks, including the first time the victim, B., was even reached out to for comment (the IFPA as of the time of this article still hasn't reached out to her). 1/X

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”
If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.
This is about elections.
Genuinely feeling this writing. Can't qualify anything else that might have been written, but *THIS* about GenAi? this is exactly how I feel.
What's your routine?
I, uh, might've done a bad thing. Note that I'm setting the prices low enough I won't make any money on this. lynnindenver-shop.fourthwall.com/collections/...

I am livid about the whole situation with the IFPA. If you don't want to stand up for trans inclusion, don't fucking pretend you will. Performatively writing rules about trans inclusion and not following them is scummy as fuck and the leadership has proven they're untrustworthy and unreliable.

Karyn from the IFPA says: "The IFPA Women's Advisory Board unanimously recommended that the IFPA revoke sanctioning for the OBX events, and we vehemently disagree with IFPA Leadership's decision not to do so. We did not contribute to the announced statement or the new process for incident reporting, and we oppose the decision-making process used by IFPA Leadership."
remember that the entire IFPA Women's Advisory Board has spoken out against this, and they have been vetoed by one man

Through all this, they had the audacity to claim they were "supportive".
Well, if you want a #ttrpg podcast that ACTUALLY supports #transrights, check out www.dicewillroll.com for fantasy ( #pathfinder ) or @transplanarrpg.bsky.social for sci-fi ( #dnd )

I stepped out of the TTRPG podcasting sphere for my own mental health after this incident, but I won't be silent. And I have 20 pages of receipts 🧾

Only Marc (who played Brandon and later Koto) stepped down with me. Most of the others brushed off the incident, one person even saying "if you don't accept a little bigotry from your friends, you're going to live a lonely life" 💀

I had co-founded this podcast and poured hundreds of hours of my own time into its production. Not just voicing my character(s), but audio editing, website design, and graphic design. It was always a labor of love.

I left in March 2024 after the bigoted opinions of one of the players came out in response to some trans-positive stickers that I made. When I mentioned that their behavior made me very uncomfortable, the GM said "free speech" superseded my comfort at the table. So much for table safety.

I want to make sure it's clear: I am no longer affiliated with this #starfinder podcast and I advise anyone #trans or an ally to exercise caution.

when the rapture doesn’t occur tomorrow, i want every Christian who is disappointed to know it’s because a transgender witch used blood magic to revoke the apocalypse.

It’s true.
The 10 Commandments of defiance published by the nation magazine in August 2025. One. Defy tyranny through acts of nonviolent defiance each day. Two. Protect education. Three. Slow down, obstruct and destroy the machine of fascism. Four. Safeguard free speech, independent media and protect journalists. Five. Defend free and fair elections. Six. Take to the streets. Seven. Demand courage from leaders. Eight. Support and organize unions. Nine. Create subversive art and random acts of joy. 10. Protect anyone targeted by this administration.

Folks, we’re not going to end MAGA rule with one General Strike and be done.
We need to take concrete action every day. What does that look like in practical terms?
As an organizer, here’s a plan I suggest for the general public:

1. You may have heard of book bans before, but the new one in Alabama takes the cake.
The Alabama Public Library Service has a new proposal that would ban—get this—only "positive depictions" of trans people.
The hearing is next month. Public comment is open.
