So for all the folks who were talking about how that Verge article was rage baiting with its excerpt: this is why the rest of us have zero faith in Bluesky crew. Their pattern of behavior consistently targets minorities on this app is gross and obvious to anyone paying a lick of attention

Well, it appears that, sometime in the last 17 hours, Gwen Pepperoni was suspended for the crime of pointing out Ken Jennings' transphobia.

Yes, this is 100% about censorship in general, and the current anti-sexual weirdness that’s going on. But a paragraph near the end of the article is especially telling… ASMR is primarily created by women. Women doing anything will always be perceived by some as inherently sexual (excerpt in comms)

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

for real tho, i hate that when trans people point out, in very measured and clear language that acting like structurally transphobic entities are neutral because they aren't like, tearing us apart in the streets to cis people, that cis people get so fucking defensive and freak out on us

thinking about this today for no reason in particular,, cis people love to say they'll push back if the govt ever tried to round us up into camps but they quite literally cannot even SAVE THEMSELVES MONEY AND CANCEL A SUBSCRIPTION. they will not lift a finger to save us, y'all. we are all we have.

sent my friend of 20 years a text last week with a link to my NYT thread from a few weeks ago (that details the ways they're killing trans kids) with a request that he read it and, at the *bare minimum* cancel his sub to that transphobic rag. this was his response. we're ngmi, y'all i stg. 🙃

a text saying: "the tldr is that I always want to be here to support you, but u also wong stop reading the NY Times because while it's imperfect and i see their bias against trans people, it's a far distance from the hateful commentary that's seen on the right side, and good thoughtful mainstream journalism is hard to find. 

options are basically WaPo (a little left for me), WSJ (too right and too focused on money which doesn't hold my interest) and the NYT. I would say that there are red lines that would cause me to stop paying for news from them but I don't see a world where that truly happens.

Uh oh, looks like another cis reporter had thoughts about what trans women should do again -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1h

It sucks that this is like a no win situation if you're stuck being harassed by one of these. Say nothing, they can say they converted folks. Speak out, you're a demon. Get them kicked out, persecution virality. Evangelicals hate consent cause it gets in their way

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

Quite frankly after almost 3 decades on this earth are we even remotely convinced that the Dems' opposition is Republicans and not anyone attempting to build a world not based on violence and extraction? Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Evergreen politics tip: Run against your opposition, not the people your opposition scapegoats and reviles. And since this seems unclear: Dems' opposition is Republicans.
