The phrase "professional activist" is functionally meaningless. It's a term that politicians and corporate targets have used for generations to discredit anyone who's effectively challenged them. Anyone who deploys it in earnest to discredit deeply committed people is broadcasting their ignorance.

at every step, this current wave of technology has been built on a total lack of consent. their literal legal argument is, "this industry couldn't exist if we had to get permission from the people who made it possible" it was always going to be rotten. bsky.app/profile/priv...

This is ultimately what people like @blackamazon.bsky.social mean when they describe genAI, the right's current darling, as a "lack of consent machine." There is a not insignificant portion of the population that is angry other people have the ability to refuse them. The core value is domination.

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

A post by c.a.t.y.a.y that reads, "I wonder what my art could've been if I didn't quit". Iggy responds, "I wonder what it will be if you start again"

I know this is something I circle back to a lot, but it honestly feels, to me, like half the attacks on our trans siblings roots back to "children aren't people." The doctor said "boy," so I get to be the parent of a boy child! Not a girl child! How dare my child want things I don't want?!

I live in Alberta. This time last year we were drowned out by separitist chuds. Now we rejected Provincial meddling in our civic elections, used our provinces own laws that they made to reject the issue of separation, and 24+ MLAs are in the process of having *their* recall legislation used on them.

There are people who say “I would sell my soul to write a book that good” who aren’t willing to write the four or five shitty books that stand between them and the good one.

Read it again. Next year. You have to preorder the vaccine over a full year in advance or you just don't get one. So, Alberta folks, go do that. And then get really vocal about how weird, unhinged, and harmful this is as a decision.

if you're in Alberta and you want your flu and covid shot in 2026 - yes you read that correctly - you have to preorder them right now. So here's the link. go do that. Just in case none of those people get removed from power by then. please repost this, as the province seems bent on killing us.

Trans rights are civil rights. If you aren't willing to die on the hill of trans rights, then you aren't willing to die on the hill of Black rights. Of Jewish rights. Of disabled rights. Of gay rights. Of anyone's rights. Human rights.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.
