In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

"never forget" that the people who did not want zohran mamdani to attend the 9/11 memorial are the same people who knowingly lied to new yorkers about the air quality in manhattan after 9/11. more people died because of the consequences of "america's mayor" rudy giuliani's lies than the event itself

one thing that did happen, that some people misremembering in better faith than the senator from the forever war misinterpret as this feeling, is the rest of the world trying to put aside past differences and reach out to us and then by 10 days afterwards all going "oh that dog's rabid"

To all my lovelies younger than me, please read this thread. I grew up w this as the soundtrack of my high school/teen years. So YES, the here and now SUCKS ASS, but pls don't idealize the 2000's as having been some chill frutiger aero utopia! Racism has never abated in this country, only evolved.

thread of actual things that happened after 9/11/01: 1. People thought that Osama bin Laden hollowed out Tora Bora in Afghanistan and was using it as a base. This is why it was so hard to find him. The source was some Russian who claimed to have served in Afghanistan in the 1980s.

Please let artists know if they are out of your price range. In the past two months 6 people told me they'd commission me, even send me OC information. But upon learning my prices, they were never heard of again. It's fine if you can't afford it, it's just fair to tell instead of ghosting tho.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

Don’t know who wrote this — it was posted on Instagram by “Warpaint Journal” in April 2025 — but it’s making the rounds today and is pretty great. I dream of this too ❤️

Most people don't dream of being fancy-rich.
I dream of being rich enough to say, "Treat's on me," without thinking twice. Rich enough to have a home that feels like a hug, a fridge stocked like a five-year-old with adult money, and a tray of chocolates waiting for someone to grab. Rich enough to quietly help a friend before they even have to ask. To send a care package when someone's too tired to reach out. To buy all the pencils from a kid on the street so they can go home early. For me, the real money dream isn't about luxury - it's about having enough to give, enough to comfort, enough to turn ordinary moments into something extraordinary.

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

No one is born evil stop trying to secularize good and bad souls I beg of y'all. Also if you agree with me politically you agree with a "crazy" person. So maybe stop being sanist jackasses and actually learn why fascists are the way they are and finally get that anyones capable of evil.

Do not speak to the BBC if you are trans. Just don't do it. Tell them to go fuck themselves. Even if you know the reporter and they are not an ass, tell them to go fuck themselves anyway because they work for the BBC and their editors will do this regardless of the journalist's intent.

More appalling behaviour from the BBC. ⬇️ A trans person interviewed about their horrific experience having their surgery cancelled whilst in the hospital described as 'biologically female'. And then half the article devoted to praising the work of an unemployed transphobe. 🗣️ DEFUND THE BBC 🗣️

Every one of those brave and inspiring people you hear about on the news was exhausted and terrified the whole time. They were sad and angry and wanted to crawl into a hole and not come out. They wished they could have stayed in bed. Then they did it anyway. But they did it scared and sad and tired.

When the story of Metro Surge is told in media, don't for a moment, through the outpouring of solidarity and community building, despite the heroism, forget that it sucked ass every single day and some days it was like the sun had been blocked from the world

HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here

Vatican theological commission defines ‘sin against creation and the Creator’ in new document

The more than 29,000 word text calls for ecological conversion due to “sin against creation and the Creator.”

OH SHIT DUDES THIS IS A VERY BIG DEEAL I have spoken before, you may recall, of my suspicion that Leo dropping the hammer on SSPX this summer was the first step to a bigger purge of which Opus Dei is the final boss. if Francis was ready to kick them out before he died, Leo would have known that

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social · last wk.

El País publishes two letters from Pope Francis in which he accused Opus Dei of engaging in political intrigues like an organized crime syndicate and suggested he was prepared now to ban the organization outright. The organization now exercises extraordinary influence in one country: the US.
