An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Heya, inspired by this great TT account, let’s talk about famous male abusers who haven’t been canceled nearly has hard as female celebrities who don’t smile enough! www.tiktok.com/@ianllightfo...

I genuinely don’t know what to write. I’ve tried multiple pithy comments but they all feel hollow. I’m just tired of obvious weirdos and arseholes having thriving careers despite clearly being awful to women & girls, having multiple allegations over decades. I’m sick of it.

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.

The inability to parse the difference between assistive tech for disabilities and not using stolen slop to generate ugly memes every time one has the impulse to type words into a keyboard is what's getting us here. ... what was that about AI decreasing our ability to think critically again?

Nobody wants predictive data models to stop working for the people in medicine. Or translating ancient Pompeii texts. Or the other ways we were already using it. We want it to stop replacing workers, killing the environment, and stealing from artists. Hope that clarifies.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains.

These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

It’s not that we’re celebrating Lindsey Graham’s death — we’re celebrating that he can’t hurt anyone else after years of causing immeasurable harm. Entirely different kettle of fish, we’re good y’all

Times like this? It isn't really celebration... it's RELIEF.

Stop. Forgiving. People. Who. Aren’t. Sorry.

five living writers that you've read five books by each Rita Dove Tasha Suri Courtney Milan Grant Morrison Tom Perrotta

I have a handful of books/series I reread annually and every year, I find at least one new thing to consider. Books are such incredible magic, I love them so much & the humans who make them 🥹😭

I don't think it should be legal to hide whether an elected official is conscious and or alive.

Sometimes if people want to get hit by lightning you just let them

I went outside today. DO NOT IF YOU DON’T HAVE TO this is BULLSHIT

The NPS will launch 850,000 fireworks in the middle of the night. (Last year, they launched 7,000) That will dump perchlorates and heavy metals into the Potomac River and cause the amount of soot and smoke particles to skyrocket (pardon), at great danger to any creature that breathes.

"The Park Service, in a separate document, similarly said that people should ‘wear an n95 mask when outdoors’ and ‘remain indoors as much as possible during and after the show.’” The guidance is to remain indoors ... during the fireworks. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

DC is an occupied state. The media has stopped covering it but it’s still happening. #FreeDC

Free DC@freedcproject.bsky.social · last mo.

Pete Hegseth has closed Malcolm X Park for a propaganda photo op w/ hundreds of National Guard members to celebrate the so-called “DC Safe and Beautiful” Task Force. Trump’s DC Task Force is killing people, separating children from their parents, harassing youth, disappearing people. We reject it.

A tiny reminder when it is as hot as it is in much of the eastern US that water alone is not enough. On cycle rides they told us for every 2 bottles of water the third should be an electrolyte formula. If you're going somewhere that limits bottled water but has refill stations, bring the powders.

Just finished #InkpotGods. I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus. Absolutely stunning work, @seananmcguire.bsky.social — I am in shambles now 😭

I can't speak for other people but I call Elon a Nazi because he walks and talks and acts and even salutes like one. Hope that helps clear it up.

Journalists have a duty to tell the public that the president and his aides are seriously considering suspending habeas corpus *when it is happening* rather than saving it for a book rollout over a year later

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2mo ago

BREAKING: New from Haberman and Swan: Secret memos show that the Trump White House debated last year, to a greater degree than previously known, whether to limit a constitutional right — suspending habeas corpus rights for undocumented immigrants to accelerate mass deportation efforts.

It's hard to be excited about the Artemis III mission announcements when the CEO of the company making one of the mission's rockets has spent his week inciting racial violence via his personal social media platform.

Either I’ve been selected by the cat distribution system or there’s an outdoor cat making my acquaintance rn — either way, I’m a fan

these are getting weird

I would like in my lifetime to get to participate in a American national election that is not about assuaging some portion of the population’s masculinity crisis.
