Another 2021 candidate for The 'Poundies

I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

"I need AI" people are so weak. In 7th grade, I wanted to do a video project for school but had no way to edit video (it was 1998). I had a TV/VCR combo, a VCR from the thrift store, and a Playstation. I figured out how to record video to a VHS and used the PS1 to play CDs to dub music to the VHS

As a PSA: In the last week, two people I know got tricked by scam websites that used AI to replicate the websites of real businesses they had bought things from in the past.

Alright, fine. Who wants to talk about peptides?

Upwards of 200,00 people may have lost their jobs today; or will in the upcoming days. There is a palpable sense of fear among the Haitian community right now. They need your support.

My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.

I am currently looking for someone to help me with social media stuff for @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social and @amityvilleville.bsky.social I will pay you and probably won’t expect a ton from you. Email me at m.alex.goldman@gmail.com. If you aren’t a listener to at least one of these, keep scrolling

This report by @attackerman.bsky.social in @zeteo.com on the US's invisiblised, 20-year war in Somalia is very worth your time, connecting that fruitless (and still expanding) anti-terror war with the Trump admin's dehumanisation of Somalis at home, as well as the (again, expanding) War on Iran.

Why Is No One Talking About the ‘New War’ Trump Is Waging in Somalia?

While the administration hounds Somali immigrants at home, it’s pummeling Somalia with an ‘unprecedented’ volume of airstrikes, but you might not know it given the silence from our media and Congress.

If I ever needed your help urgently it is NOW. Please spread widely.

Remember how I was yelling about the government going to take money out of our accounts? Well, IT HAS STARTED. I need this goal reached because otherwise there will be long term disruptions of my ability to eat. 150/3800

I keep saying "support indie tabletop games" and I'm gonna keep fucking saying it. D&D is trash. I'm gonna make a short thread of some other games you might play instead that are easy to adjust to from D&D.

This made me chuckle quite a bit!

I was happy to see a blurb by @jasonkpargin.bsky.social which made me think: are we gonna get a book recommendation list at the end of the year? Have you done one before?

I love when youtubers apologize for not following their own schedule. You'd just apologize for anything, wouldn't you? If you thought it would make me happy. Little desperate thing

A father in Idaho, speaking to police after his child died by suicide: “There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids. The whole fucking country. The whole fucking administration, every single fucking day.” Please read this important story by @joyurcaba.bsky.social

Idaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.

The life and death of May Pollard, 16, provides a window into the tragic effect that legislation and political rhetoric have had on trans people in America.
