I hope all the middle-aged women whose lives have been vastly improved by an ADHD diagnosis understand that we’re on the list after trans and autistic people. RFK Jr thinks we should be sent to camps instead of taking a daily medication to bring our dopamine pathways up to a normal level.

Rahm left the White House staff with just enough time to swoop in and run for mayor in Chicago. Once he won, he immediately attacked and overturned a prior-settled collective bargaining agreement between the city and Chicago Public Schools' teachers. He is no friend of labor nor education.

“Talking to Rahm, it’s like middle-age married sex,” said John Anzalone, a Democratic pollster who has known him for decades. “It’s focused. You know what you’re going for. And it’s short.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/u...

NOW: Just arrived at the intersection of Research Blvd and Anderson Lane—near where ICE shot & wounded 29-yr-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez earlier today. Between 300-500 people still holding intersection here. ICE is reportedly not letting Garces Perez’s family access him at the hospital.

Samantha Ferreira Is Back On Her Book Bullshit@sam-animeherald.northsky.social · 2w ago

Speaking as someone who grew up in the early-ish days of American anime fandom: You'd be AMAZED how common this is. How often you would hear people argue that, for example, Revolutionary Girl Utena couldn't POSSIBLY be queer, because [some bullshit] Media literacy is a skill that needs to be taught

Let the bubble burst. The correction is overdue. Pouring the fruit of millions of workers' production into environment destroying theft machines needs to die.

Lindsay Beyerstein@beyerstein.bsky.social · 2w ago

Alex Karp of Palantir says the AI industry must be nationalized to protect it from lawsuits if it accidentally destroys the world. More likely, he sees the bubble about to burst and he wants to be bought out with our tax dollars before that happens.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

This shit is terrible and getting worse. Japan just upped their fees by a huge margin. Including permant residency going up 20x overnight. Literally. October 1st. Chiba retaliated going up 7x for Japanese citizens. There are no winners in this game of chicken. Only loaers.

When reactionaries advance some bullshit, the FIRST thing to do is identify the framing and reject it They're selling this as "trans rights vs. women's sports" when they hate both those things and want to ruin them both Accept the frame and you've lost Reject the frame and call bullshit

"fairness in women's sports" is literally just "ethics in games journalism" like this is the same thing this is part of the same playbook dawg

If you see this, could you please reskeet it? I want to test something.

Yes indeed. The islamophobia was off the charts and those of us who thought "oh, jeeze, we thought this was world war three for a couple minutes, but it's 'only' a terrorist attack just a bigger one, but we've seen this before" were immediately made to feel like we were bad people.

Julie DiCaro@juliedicaro.bsky.social · 3w ago

It’s becoming increasingly clear that the narrative around 911 is being written by people who were either children or not born at the time of 9/11. We were not holding hands and singing Kumbaya in the streets. In fact, things got pretty ugly and anyone who didn’t toe the line was called a traitor.

Not a counter point, but a kind of point addition: you can't have a war on terrorism either. Because terrorism is an idea inasmuch as it is a collection of actual acts once could place under it. As long as someone has some means to frighten others for political purposes, terrorism will always exist.

Monthly Halloween 🎃@abcbtommi.bsky.social · 3w ago

You will have ivy league educated people say "the war on terror" to this day like they're stupid because that's how fucking brainwashed people got. The word is terrorism and it should return to being terrorism.

American voice actor, director, producer, writer Mike McFarland has died of brain cancer aged 56. I met him at a few US events, hung out with this talented, interesting guy, and now he's gone, taken by cancer. May he rest in peace - and if you can, support brain cancer research.

Is 9/11 a holiday in the US now? Bank transfer delayed until Tuesday but that's never happened mid week before.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but don’t bring your elementary school 1st grader into a haunted house room designed by Japanese 15-year-olds at their annual school festival, no matter how much she demands it. Ask me how I know, as of 1 hour ago.

Sir, I spent 7th grade through graduate school in Texas. Have you considered that maybe ALL language is inherently performative? The people around me used it, so I did too. Now it is simply part of my natural speech patterns.

👻 Jack Djinn Wail 🧞@jacktindale.bsky.social · last mo.

Minor point but I really hate this performative “y’all” people do to try and appear more folksy. I don’t type in a Yorkshire accent and I did people would rightly tell me to shut up.

A Filipina care worker in Fukuoka told her supervisory body that she was pregnant and wanted to come back after giving birth. The director asked if she'd considered an abortion. She recorded it. On August 4 a court ruled the blatantly illegal conversation violated her rights.

The WNBA stuff has to be a constant reminder that the only thing transphobes hate more than trans people are women's sports and women.

In late July, Raul Calvo, a well-known California union-buster, called workers at the Rodney Strong Vineyards into a meeting. “He said he was just going to give us the information that he got in an email three days ago, that ICE was here outside.”

Chiya Fujino (1962- ) is the only openly transgender writer to ever win the Akutagawa Prize; she won in 1999 for Summer Promise (untranslated). Fujino's writings reflect how difficult life can be for people who don’t follow the standard conventions of Japanese society. #witmonth

Fun fact: According to Yasuhiko, the setting of "Cucuruz Doan's Island," ep. 15 of Mobile Suit Gundam (1979-80), is based on the Gotō Islands, an archipelago in the East China Sea. That would account for the lush vegetation and subtropical climate that we see in the original version.
