You know, at this point I'm sick and tired of Youtube channels doing "A/B Testing" on their video titles and thumbnails. the ones they settle on are almost always the worse of the two, and it just feels gross. I've actively stopped watching channels I used to love over that crap.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

Just a reminder for everyone that these monsters hid their own report implicating anti-trans hate groups in order to appease JK Rowling and her goon squad. And now they're using legal threats to try and suppress the evidence. Do NOT buy their performative garbage. bsky.app/profile/trai...

‘We have an opportunity to pressure the government into changing some of the ridiculous laws we have brought in in the last few years, from the criminalisation of peaceful protest to the proscription of Palestine Action.’ - @mrnishkumar.bsky.social 🎤💥

Pritzker: So here’s the truth, plain and simple: Our state is under siege. Not by protesters, immigrants, the deep state, the press, Canada or Mexico or Greenland, Antifa or Jewish space lasers or pride parades. No. Our state's under siege by a petty, corrupt man in Washington.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottomA nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."A mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.

So... since it appears that I'm going to be... stuck as a squishy alien squid creature, I figure an updated profile image might be called for. (As before credit for the design and creation of the species goes to @ktcmoop.bsky.social . Be sure to give them a follow!)

So... uhhh... Funny story. I was checking out a new club recently, with a very "transformative" atmosphere with refreshments like none other. The denizens were quite accommodating and promised a service that was out of this world. (Thanks @ktcmoop.bsky.social for the wonderful species concept!)

Me at Gaying Mantis's dream-crafted bar/club, having just transformed into one of the squishy, squidlike alien creatures the club is host to by the Shirley Temple I'd been drinking which is now held in a tentacle instead of a hand. In my new body, I observe: "Oh my goodnes... I guess even the soft drinks here are transformative... The question is... How do I even get home now that I look like this?" After a moment, I add "...Maybe they're hiring..."Alt variation of the picture, with no text.Another alt variation of the picture; this one in the more familiar cobalt blue of my dragon and cobra forms.

Happy Birthday to Sonic! I'd make a joke calling him "Ogilvie," but then I remembered that deadnaming someone even as a joke is way past uncool. It's been incredible living through the good times and the bad for the blue blur. Here's to always running to the next milestone! Stay cool!
