The Olympics have allowed trans people to compete since 2004. I’m the 22 years since, exactly one trans athlete has competed. She didn’t make it past the first round of competition.

Fuck the Olympics.

Tamer Nahed 𓂆🇵🇸 @Tamer_Alnoaizy BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this? The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us. Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime. What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful. [the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.] 2:45 PM · Feb 10, 2026 https://twitter.com/Tamer_Alnoaizy/status/2021234178461704409

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

(someone commits political violence) Revolution!! Viva la... (reading the first page of the manifesto) ...Foreskin Restoration??

They're doing a 9/11 to me

can you tell i don't really get the appeal of roguelikes.
only reason i put sa1 there is because of the vocal deliveries and awkward writing but it's not THAT bad... didn't know what else to put there

a tweet from me that says "israel has been working to engineer a famine in gaza, with the aim of killing its population, and every political ally of israel knows this is the case"

i posted this more than a year ago because it was obvious by then that israel was trying to starve gaza, & i knew there would come a time in the future when a bunch of people who know better would pretend to suddenly find out about it

If you're against ICE, you should be against the IDF

a woman points to a girl that is hunched over a lot. she says “hey, you should really work on your posture, it can cause really bad back pain if left unchecked” the hunched over girl replies: “ill do it later idk who gaf” the first girl continues, “plus it makes ur boobs look bigger sometimes” there’s a “Spring!” sound effect and the hunched girl is suddenly erected into proper posture. END

if you care about trans people, do not watch the new jk rowling show. don’t even hate watch it or you will be funding this new intentionally transphobic organization. we cannot allow hateful people take away more of our rights

The first paragraph is soul crushing. Cops are useless.

Rest in peace Jonathan Joss.

Don’t let mainstream news water down the real tragedy that happened here. This was a hate crime, not an argument. The local police didn’t respond to their distress about their home, and now it’s escalated to the murder of Joss and their pet dog

Fuck SAPD. I hope there’s riots in the streets

he was Native American too: Comanche. freaking TIRED of us being one of the highest statistics to succumb to homicide.

"U.S. DOJ report: From 1992–2002, the rate of violent crime against Natives aged 25–34 years was more than 2.5 times the rate for all people of the same age."

The Sickos Yes guy, but his eyebrows are pointing upward and there are tears in his eyes

Reggie Watts statement, 1 of 2: “I was disappointed to see that Thom's statement centers his hurt feelings and frames his fans' demands for him to speak up as a "social media witch hunt," instead of recognizing the urgency of their call for him to speak out against the world-historical humanitarian crisis in Palestine. I hope Thom will reflect and decenter himself from the public outcry against the genocide, because if he and his artistic legacy stand for love and humanity as he asserts, he can come to see his fans' actions as an act of loving solidarity with suffering people-a needed affirmation of our humanity in these dark times.”

Reggie Watts statement 2 of 2: “I also want to address Thom's repetition of a common rhetorical tactic of those who are devoted to maintaining the status quo, that one cannot speak up or demand an end to the genocide unless they fully understand the deep "complexity" of this historical conflict. I urge Thom's fans to reject this conviction-neutralizing, demobilizing sentiment and trust their hearts. You don't need to be a geopolitics scholar to know that starving children and slaughtering families is wrong. Your membership in the human family gives you authority and, indeed, responsibility to speak up. All positive change starts with conscious and loving people raising their voices and working together to bring a better world into existence. Please keep fighting until our sisters and brothers in Palestine are free.”

Reggie Watts addresses Thom Yorke’s statement on Palestine and it’s good

A digital drawing in a style inspired by Risograph printing, in the colors of the United States' flag. A shadow of Lady Liberty casts behind an anthropomorphic dog who sits hunched, arms crossed, a single tear shedding down his cheek, mastectomy scars drawn in red to contrast with his blue lineart. A suitcase is tucked beside him. In the upper right corner, words are written into the stripes of the flag reading, "With liberty and justice for all (but you*)".

i pledge my allegiance to the flag

I've had actual arguments with people about "Separating art from the artist." There's no separating this. Like Idk what to tell you, but trans people should be more important to you than like dobby the elf or whatever

If you see this, you must post 4 of your favorite characters from 4 different series

Pass it on
