aggressive chalking is learned at home. teach your kids before it's too late.

"The suspects...were seen in a video aggressively chalking the crosswalk." This is what DeSantis is spending Florida taxpayer money on. www.wftv.com/news/local/r...

This is very good. Clear, calm, factual, and devastating for proponents of bans on puberty blockers for trans youth. theconversation.com/puberty-bloc...

Puberty blockers: why politicians overriding doctors sets a dangerous precedent

The government’s ban on puberty blockers undermines clinical expertise and targets trans youth with a policy that lacks evidence, consistency and fairness.

my most 'woke' opinion is that prisons should have the structure and stigma of medical quarantine. stabilize people, change conditions, and monitor relapse risk. remove the performative cruelty and perverse levels of vengeance. measure success by improved health and victim repair.

"my least woke opinion is---" That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania. Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

“They paid me a lot of money to ignore everything negative. It was great!”

every article that uses this AI program's "name" and "face" in the headline is 100% playing into the PR push. they don't give a shit about the tone of the coverage, they just want to make the name and face recognizable. this is patient-zero of making AI "actors" a thing.

if they say something and you say that's not true, your response is still shaped like their frame Your frame has to *contain and explain* their frame, not just contradict it. You have to eat their frame. Like Kirby

pornography bans and censorships make no sense to me bc sexuality is quite literally part of being human.. suppressing that part or acting like it's gross is never going to be good, we've already been there, not even for teens who go through a lot of hormonal changes and should safely learn about it

there will be dozens of articles posted on x dot com this week about the dangers of a bluesky echo chamber

given what we know now - the scale of anti-trans legislation, the coordinated campaigns at every level of government, and the real-world violence that follows - i don’t see how we can keep asking a marginalized group to stay defenseless.

We're featuring a new writer on Assigned today! @janethebane.meangirls.online makes a passionate argument for trans people to arm ourselves. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

For the pundit class civility means saying, for example, that trans people are “an abomination to God,” but politely, on stage with a microphone, in a suit and tie

Sally Jenkins@sallyjenx.bsky.social · 12mo ago

He argued with civility. It's a start.

bluesky moderation has been shockingly bad. post after post is getting removed without any mention of threats, calls to violence, or incitement. this is the platform that promised openness and user control. now mods are deleting posts in masse if they don't like your tone. pathetic.

these wealthy actors will try to distance themselves. they’ll say they support trans people and disagree with rowling's rhetoric. but those words will be meaningless. they’re operating the machine that funds hate. they’re directly responsible for risking the safety and dignity of our trans friends.

one of the more unexpected and depressing aspects of our descent into tribalism is people aligning with literal machines, outsourcing their identity to an algorithm because it tells them they're right about everything.

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

calling everything you don't like 'pornography for the masses'

the problem with letting democrats backslide their support of trans rights whether it be trans in sports or using bathrooms is we’ve seen “compromise” in the UK labor party. they gave into “reasonable” TERF demands and it destroyed the labor party and all rights for trans people

RSS is great! as media and tech keep merging into these unholy content silos, RSS is one of the few ways left to curate our own content and control how info reaches us. A helpful starter from @molly.wiki
