More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

Hey @glaad.bsky.social how are we feeling about your organization's name being used to advertise the IP and merchandise of the one of the world's most powerful transphobes?

Oohhh that is nasty stuff. These people are disgusting

If anyone's belonging is conditional and can be revoked because of WHO THEY ARE, then EVERYONE'S belonging is conditional. The excuses and "reasons" do not hold.

Unique Vintage, a company that does an annual Pride collection and has always encouraged customers to see them as a queer-friendly vendor, has just announced their Harry Potter collection.

remembering when people were suggesting playing Hogwarts Legacy but also donating to trans charities and someone called that "carbon offsetting for transphobia"

LMFAO

This isn’t lib-bashing. These are just facts. The New Deal Democrats are dead and buried. The party as it is now is not what it used to be and clinging to a version of it that hasn’t actually existed since the 1970s isn’t going to bring it back. It’s just a fundraising operation and it’s gotta go

I do think, fundamentally, the anti-trans movement is best understood as an elite version of the satanic panic.

Rowling looming over a progressive Irish cultural festival with her menacing insinuations & a phalanx of expensive lawyers dashing off legal letters. And all because the organisers don’t want transphobes peddling hate at their event. A nauseating spectacle of spite.

Thinking about why women might not want to use a product that has forced itself into every software interface to confidently shout things that are wrong

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

Elon Musk's xAI has installed more than double the number of gas turbines than it has publicly acknowledged to power its Colossus 2 data center project, without federal permits, and the pollution is hitting predominantly Black neighborhoods the hardest reut.rs/4bIghEm

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

The 1980s were a golden age of sci-fi/fantasy film and I was glad to have been there for it. Assholes love to say, "You couldn't make X movie today because of woke!" But the movies you really can't make today are the ones that aren't guaranteed to be blockbusters with mass appeal.

I almost bought a salad today, but then I remembered explosive poo parasite so bought a slice of pizza instead. Make healthy choices!

It's the most basic of litmus tests you're being asked to do nothing to not buy a book or a game or a piece of merch to live your life exactly the same way you did before that thing became available for purchase if NOTHING is too big an ask, you can't be counted on when it's time to do SOMEthing

The thing about JKR and telling folks not to buy Harry Potter shit is it isn't because we think it can take away her fortune and platform. She's so rich she would still be rich if she never sold another book It is because it is literally the smallest possible hurdle to clear to value trans lives

In case you don't follow UFC (don't blame you), alleged rapist Conor McGregor was top billing tonight and came out swinging like a crackhead, only to instantaneously blow out his knee on the very first kick, get punched in the face approximately 11 times, and lose immediately

Quick Tip: "Don't speak ill of the dead" means dont demean, or spread lies, or speak malicious untruth about dead people, who cant defend themselves Accurately describing someone's life and legacy is not "speaking ill" It's the truth - which is self justifying in that it is the truth!

The legendary Sam Neill has died. He was 78 and had been battling stage 3 blood cancer, but announced in the spring that he was cancer-free. His family described his passing as “sudden and unexpected.”

Fair play, very funny thing to say in defence of a party whose primary campaigning strategy is to wait for a horrific tragedy to befall a town, community or even individual family, and then roll up and go, "We sure hope nobody burns down a mosque over this—though we'd sure understand if they did!"

It's like a Final Destination thing but for Republican senators, Death will keep taking them until the one that got away finally gives up the ghost

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

every dead senator gets a thoughtful obituary lauding their “courage” and then if you look it up the courage was filibustering the Give Medicine to Cancer Kids act

Lindsey Graham has died. He is being remembered for the way he lived . If you do not wish to be mocked when dying , do not make your dying the only way vulnerable people can find peace
