I surveyed one millennial trans woman who came seven times last night and got two more off this morning, and it turns out everything kept functioning just fine! "semen retention", "porn-induced dysfunction", and "clitoral desensitization" are myths — kill the moralizing fascist in your head <3

Playboy@playboy.com · 21h ago

First reason? Gym bros and influencers are increasingly touting the benefits of “semen retention,” and there are repeated claims of “porn-induced erectile dysfunction” and clitoral desensitization from excessive vibrator usage. Despite its lack of scientific support—this is breaking through.

Our schools are in danger of closing, Medicaid is cut, snap is cut, aca recipients are getting cut, property taxes keep increasing Yet billionaires have the audacity to expect “public assistance” for a stadium? There are 10,000 things id rather see our tax $$ fund before a cent goes to stadiums

If we fund a billionaire’s basketball stadium after closing a bunch of schools I am going to fucking snap.

What a horrific way to spend money meant to improve all the infrastructure and institutions we’ve neglected.

Tracy O’Connell Novick@tracynovick.bsky.social · 5h ago

I already knew that Gov. Healey's proposal to roll back the gas tax was bad policy, but then I learned she wants to make up the difference with FAIR SHARE money (aka: the millionaires' tax), and NO. That's money for schools and for transportation, not to make up for terrible national foreign policy!

Elected leaders opposed to adequate funding for parks make it clear that they: 1) Don't go to parks in nonaffluent areas and see the disinvestment 2) Don't talk to the parents and residents who rely on parks programming 3) Don't understand that money can be saved by spending a small amount first

trans rights, abortion rights, and sex workers’ rights are all interconnected and also they‘re all interconnected with fat rights

In good news, New York City Public Schools had already banned AI for writing Individualized Education Plans months before Mamdani banned their usage in classrooms in elementary and middle school. www.govtech.com/education/k-...

NYC Schools Prohibit AI for Grading, Discipline, IEPs

New guidelines on acceptable AI use at New York City Public Schools feature a “traffic light” framework of red (prohibited), yellow (proceed with caution) and green (approved) use cases.

Last day in Minneapolis and, for ...reasons, I biked from Uptown to Minnehaha, then back to Uptown, then back to Minnehaha. I am tired now. 😅

got some new stuff up in my shop ^_^ www.etsy.com/shop/Beetlep...

I can't wait for the pedestrian/bike bridge from Assembly to Everett. It's really sad that it takes more than a decade to go from a 25% design to a completed bridge. Over 8 years from 25% design to bidding and another 3 years anticipated for construction 🤦🏻‍♀️

one of the few stretches of good bike infrastructure in Everett is in front of the casino.

Neighbor contagion is real! You see every day how much fun they're having and it just starts to make more sense.

the reason people shoplift food is usually because they do not have access to fresh, healthy food. putting cops there does the opposite of this, instead of playing cops overtime and security gear, you could just give people food 101 level stuff, you sure you're fit for mayor?

Mayor Katie B. Wilson@mayor.seattle.gov · 2d ago

Every person deserves fresh, healthy food. That's why I'm proud to announce $1.7 million in security improvements and technical assistance for local grocery stores across our city.

Fuck you, Gavin Newsom.

Frances Larina@franceslarina.bsky.social · 2d ago

"Gov Gavin Newsom over the weekend vetoed legislation aimed at protecting providers of gender-affirming care from being extradited to face charges for doing so by another state." He was "worried about constraints on the governor's power to approve extraditions". www.ebar.com/story/170505...

Gov. Healey proposes suspending gas tax in Massachusetts for 2 months

Gov. Maura Healey is filing legislation to suspend the gas tax​ in Massachusetts for two months.

Waymo/CAV is kind of a funny topic from afar. On the one hand, the public has shockingly little understanding of the actual tech realities. On the other hand, there's broad excitement about the idea of them. Which is really just excitement about transit, minus the sharing of space or efficiency.

Drivers when they have to pay to park at the hospital (usually with exemptions for long admissions, disabled parking, etc.) vs Drivers when people who don't or can't drive have to pay as much or more for a bus that goes near but not to the hospital or have to pay several times more for a taxi

You mean it’s a calculated backlash from hateful but cynical actors and NOT an organic uprising caused by obnoxious transes and blue haired baristas GOING TOO FAR? Impossible!

it's Lazzie B! once again!! 😱@lazzieb.bsky.social · 3mo ago

So..if I'm gonna get into it without being paid to write a column, yeah, I mean the reason I pinned the 'start' of this swing on 2015 is that's when Obergefell was handed down. The -IMMEDIATE- response from Family Research Council was a set of policy briefs specifically targeting trans Title IX.

This kicks so much ass. Also, it makes my life as a parent so much easier.

MPR News@mprnews.org · yesterday

Schools across the state started offering free breakfasts and lunches to all students in the fall of 2023. The number of students eating school lunch went up 15 percent the first year. The number of kids eating breakfast at school went up 40 percent.

At the request of Juan's family, please join us for a ghost bike installation & vigil this Saturday at the crash site. Juan Martin Márquez was killed biking to work last Monday by a hit and run, & the driver who is still at large.

I've been pretty happy with how well cycling in Minneapolis as someone who's never been here before has been going. I don't feel like I need a bunch of super secret insider knowledge to find routes.

This is my child, Thomas. He is the most beautiful and majestic member of my family.

your regular reminder that all is not well for those of us living in red states that women are still bleeding out in parking lots and dying because they can’t access abortion care we deserve not to die

ProPublica@propublica.org · 2d ago

ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her. (Published Nov. 2025)

This is why police should be paid flat salaries. They should be prohibited by law from making overtime. Want to send 100+ off-duty cops to a tiny little vigil where there's no threat to public safety? Then they can have fun doing it for free.

alec karakatsanis@equalityalec.bsky.social · 2d ago

THREAD. Did you know that Minneapolis police deployed 101 personnel to a 7-person vigil held one morning at Renee Good's memorial? The cops generated $1.92 million in overtime cash for themselves.

Hope these parents enjoy being estranged from their soon to be adult child.

Maggie McNeill@maggiemcneill.bsky.social · 2d ago

This "child" will be 18 in a few months. If you have to ask the State to compel your 17-year-old offspring to submit to your control, you have already lost them regardless of what a court rules.
