When someone campaigns on a promise to allow insurance companies to refuse to cover gender affirming care, they are promising they will let insurance companies kill us. Those are facts.

When someone campaigns on a promise of banning gender affirming care for minors, they are promising to kill trans children. When someone campaigns on a promise to ban federal funding for gender affirming care, they are promising to kill trans adults on government assistance - so, poor trans people.
Lol they're calling you the touch-starved beast bro... (Realizing that might actually be too mean) ... but... there's nothing wrong with that... aren't we all... just touch-starved beasts at heart...? (Realizing I'm making it weird) ... Bitch!
A+ stuff from KO-OP here, especially keeping the people who were laid off in the loop about what's going on at the studio while hoping to re-hire them. This is a must-read for people who run game studios. There's a lot to learn here.

People get so wounded when I say that a gif reply is not actually constructive or social. “Well what do you even WANT from people, Stella?” I would like people to internalize that there is nothing wrong with seeing a post you like and deciding there’s nothing you, personally, can further add.
Always something to make a funny post about, say, Star Wars on this website, and then have many people post blank replies with GIFs from/about Star Wars, to signal that they recognize that your Star Wars post was about Star Wars. “Nothing to add, just wanted to flag that I’ve heard of Star Wars”. Ok
check on your friend that's a little too intense about the amazing digital circus
[update] Identified: We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. If that does happen, there may be times when the site has ...
this story is extremely wild, major investigation from @josephcox.bsky.social: www.404media.co/manifestos-f...
404 Media's @josephcox.bsky.social spoke to 8 current employees, got Slack chats, meeting audio, and an AI manifesto written by its CTO. “The CEO is in full AI psychosis and has been for a while now,” one of the sources told 404 Media.

For those who’re asking, yes we delisted Celeste and TowerFall on XBox. We did this to support the BDS boycott
fucked up someone would deny the .cx domain’s long and storied history of showing us assholes
for context: the actual server remains up (thanks a lot @flokinet.bluesky.flokinet.social for the great service), but the .cx domain was put in server hold by the registrar (CentralNic) after both floki and centralnic (presumably) received a takedown notice
a new official mirror of the search tool will be up soon as well, just waiting on some technical things right now, please be patient
Any cis liberals who speak like this are Epsteinites btw.
[seeing liberals fantasize about personally murdering trans kids for votes] I'm starting to get the impression these people might not really be on our side
After observers lawfully filmed ICE in a public parking lot, the agents followed their car, boxed them in, and slashed their tire in retaliation. The observers bravely caught the whole thing on video.
The very normal feminist practice of speculating wildly about other people's bodies in public to try to discredit them.
I didn't mean PCOS. And I didn't go through a typical puberty – but that was attributed to other causes. So yes, I found out at 26, when I had a pelvic scan for unrelated reasons. And the results were unexpected. Thanks to this "feminist" organisation though, for accusing me of lying about my body.
liberals were screaming "don't comply in advance to fascism!" until the Democratic party started demanding trans people to comply in advance to adopting far-right TERF policies, and now suddenly the line is "why won't you stupid trannies just shut up and comply already??"
Sometimes you get a YouTube comment so baffling you have to laugh and share it.
really interesting cause bluesky did none of this when someone posted a whole icloud drive filled with nudes that had been scraped off the site (incl deleted ones)
Bluesky tells WIRED it blocked links to a leaked archive of information on 41,000 ICE, CBP, and other DHS workers because it contains people’s contact information, shared without their authorization.
People really need to feel “eat the rich”. Like we all say it but truly, eat the rich. They are traitors to humanity itself. The way they actively fuel the destruction of our world & society, all so they can eke out just one more ai prompt and build their fantasy immortality machines is disgusting.
i was not involved in the procurement of any DHS data, i worked on this story as a journalist conducting source work, research and data work. any article implying otherwise is wrong.
