I'm taking a class on the history of Gaels in Nova Scotia, and one thing that came up is how corporal punishment and shaming was used to extinguish the language and culture in schools.

You have to be an idiot to not see how the end goal of the anti-trans movement is "anti-gender-discrimination law not only doesn't forbid but MANDATES sex discrimination, because Men And Women Are Biologically Different and it's unfair to treat them the same"

The language used in the filing lays bare that this is about define "women's rights" as a "right to be treated according to their biological sex", rather than a right to equality. This would be an end to gender equality in a general sense.

According to a new shadow docket filing with SCOTUS, the Alliance Defending Freedom is arguing that parents of cis kids have a "parental right" to forcibly out trans kids and prevent them from playing. It also seeks further Title IX restrictions in blue states. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Anand is the best (and I'm doing an event with him at, yes, @cityartssf.bsky.social Thursday, for his new book Man in the Mirror). Couldn't agree more that cities are refuges or places of last resort for people kicked out of rural/suburban/pseudo-idyllic America.

Sums up my feelings. 

If you give off lesbian vibes I'm probably at least somewhat attracted to you.

I made this useful chart so you can see how the female genders are applied! Such a special culture Of particular interest is that trans women in the Western world are not permitted to transition to either Virgin or Mother- only Whore or Crone, the valueless genders! Fascinating

Weird Alex@jackalpants.bsky.social · 3mo ago

I think it's so beautiful that Western Society has so many genders: man, mother, virgin, whore and crone.

I always love seeing baddies rocking buzzcuts or bald heads.

talked about this before and again, i'm speaking as a third generation journeyman trades worker, but working in trades is not something that any of the people who write these pieces, or honestly most of you, respect at all. It's perceived as something you do when all the "good" options are gone.

I was raised by a nurse with an associates degree and a steel mill electrician. I am not denigrating the value and dignity of blue collar work when I ask how many elite national media staffers are raising future bricklayers themselves. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

BREAKING NEWS: Tensions between Thor and the Care Bears have escalated rapidly overnight.

I've been feeling a little sensorily overloaded the last few days. Not much in the tank for stuff outside of work.

abolish the death penalty

The Epstein emails show he literally advised *all* these freaks, over decades, up til his death, on how to use transphobia as a wedge to make their expected victims more vulnerable Dems could have just not accepted Epstein's framing of trans rights as an essential part of being viewed as electable

Trans people have been saying this for YEARS. But, oh no, it’s not until they discover that punching down and beating trans people to a pulp is not having the desired effect and, if anything, it’s leading to things that could affect them and their loved ones. Honestly, this makes me want to scream

Good article that explains the consequences of having the wrong gender marker on your ID. It's not just psychological: it affects every aspect of your life, including your physical safety. They may not be able to vote. It's very clear that they just want trans people removed from public life.

Put another way, Ford wants to spend more on removing bike lanes in Toronto ($48M) than he's spent protecting all of Ontario's businesses from an international trade war. Ontario deserves serious leadership, that follows through on promises, and actually puts people before profits.

I read this book when it came out and HIGHLY recommend if you want to understand what's going on in America right now (along with his other book Culture Warlords). It's a very beautifully written book on a very dark subject. $3 is a steal!

🚨my book Wild Faith: How the Christian Right Is Taking Over America is on sale today on the Kindle store for $2.99! Sorry to link to Amazon but $3 is a solid price for a book that took me three years to write www.amazon.com/Wild-Faith-C...

Always remember that lesbians like trans people more than trans people do.

feel like being neurodivergent is an endless life of Purposefully Creating Habits so you can do normal things, and for the longest time I could only read on public transport but then I taught myself to also read in the bath, however I must now unfortunately draw myself a bath whenever I want to read

I think the Trump promo shoot sketches are my favourite SNL portrayal of him because they really captured how much of a dolt he actually is.

American Horror Story: Glee

This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

SCOOP A Pentagon influencer called liberal women a "pestilence" who will end western civilization. He's also: • Praised dictators like Franco and Pinochet • Said people without kids should not be allowed vote • Called immigrants "semihuman savages" www.wired.com/story/a-pent...
