A big part of the reason that I haven't been posting much is that I have been spending a lot of my personal time working to get @abdulelsayed.bsky.social elected in Michigan. I can tell you, the excitement I see from everyday people for his campaign is something I've never seen before.

Being forced to listen to these freaks screech about how trans people are perverts while they get arrested on a weekly basis for sex crimes is a reality I am sincerely so tired of being subjected to.

🧮 80 MPs have now signed the motion to reject the EHRC guidance. This motion alone would not stop it, it would have to be put to a vote. The best way to get that is for it to have an overwhelming number of signatures. Whatever happens, it sends a strong message. edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

Draft Code of Practice on Services, public functions and associations - Early Day Motions - UK Parliament

That the draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations, a copy of which was laid before this House on 21 May, be disapproved.

It’s pretty easy to do a little research on the place you’re going, make sure you aren’t flashing rude gestures that are normal in your home country, and be kind in your travels. The human experience of wanting to be treated kindly is surprisingly universal.

Someone will doubtless get mad at me for this (ironically) but I suspect that those Americans who claim they’re constantly treated poorly abroad merely for being American are actually just being treated poorly because they have Rancid Vibes

I’m gonna be so for real, if JSOC reproduced its originating failed operation in 2026, we need to be asking about the competence of this command. If it were me, I would hope this is a coverup because the implications of this level of incompetence is dire.

You’re telling me that the Department Of War wants everyone to believe that 2 C-130s couldn’t take off from an Iranian desert because of sand? Literally the thing that directly led to the creation of JSOC in the first place?

I was looking a bit more into that Ben Appel guy --the "In Defense Of Effeminate Men" "writer"-- and, wouldn't you know it, he's even more of a conservative fuck than you'd think he'd admit to. Every trans person deserves to tear him to shreds with responses to what he was doing w that article.

Ben Appel's writing;

Having entered the university in 2017 as a self-described
radical progressive planning a career in LGBT activism, I was araduating an exile I had become disillusioned with. and spoken out against, my fellow progressives' tactics: suppressing free speech, purity policing and reducing every individual to his or her skin colour gender and sexual orientation. During my last semester, which was moved online due to the pandemic, I'd sian on to virtual AA meetings after class, and immediately be struck by how similar the two spaces had become. Pronouns lit up the screen. Whereas opening readings once consisted of the AA preamble, the 12 Steps and 12 traditions, and details about the meeting, now some groups chose to add a thinly veiled threat: 'We will not tolerate racist, homophobic sexist or transphobic rhetoric in this
space.'

A recent Atlantic column claimed society is allegedly "transing" effeminate boys. For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I wrote a rebuttal using my own experience as a young, closeted trans girl. xtramagazine.com/power/identi...

There's an absolutely mind boggling amount of scandals involving US government officials right now, and the only thing plastered across CNN's front page for days has been a TV host's missing mother. I'm sorry, I just do not care about this whatsoever. This is the state of newsmedia in the US.

NYT is wrong. Bezos buying WaPo was never a for-profit venture. Buying news outlets and allowing/forcing them to fail is not an accident, it's a militant strategy by the ultra-wealthy to deny their opposition (all of us) reliable information in an ongoing class war. The price is worth it for them.

Very sad to see yet another news outlet eradicate jobs for journalists. Reliable information about the world and what’s happening in it, from local to global scale, is harder to get with fewer and fewer skilled people whose mission is to provide it. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

Screenshot of NYTimes article that reads, “The cuts are a sign that Jeff Bezos, who became one of the world’s richest people by selling things on the internet, has not yet figured out how to build and maintain a profitable publication on the internet.”

You might ask me, “ok, so what do Democrats do now to make sure high turnout voters don’t become low turnout voters?” I didn’t decide not to go to bat for Dems next time on a lark. It took years of compounded messaging and blame for me to get here. It’s not an easy, overnight fix.

Immediately after the Democrats lost in 2024, the DNC didn’t listen to their voters…they blamed trans people and leftist organizers, then held a retreat where their paid consultants rubbed their backs and told them to stay the course. This pull quote is a lie Dems tell themselves now to feel better.

Dem leadership openly throws their base voters in the path on an oncoming train, and has the nerve to wonder why we quit bothering to show up. Whats the matter, DNC? Did all those Cheney voters not come out for you? Fuck off.
