I don't want things to get back to normal. Normal is what got us here. Going back to normal is just setting the stage for another repeat, because we already "went back to normal" and the fuckers took advantage. I want things to change, and I want this to never happen again.

To the cis gatekeeper, the correct number of transitions is zero. Anything else is a failure. A "healthy" body is not a trans one, by definition. They see healthcare not as a tool to better a person's autonomy but a structure to keep us on the "right path". Burn it all.

With whats happened in Wales we really are now at the point where the moral panic can shut down transition care full stop cause of the “scandal” that transition happens, at all.

I do not think the Brief LWA Scale is remotely good when a peaceful philosophical anarchist would score off the charts on this

Brief LWA Scale (Costello & Patrick, 2022)
All items rated on a 7-point scale: Strongly Disagree (0) — Moderately Disagree (1) — Slightly
Disagree (2) — Neither Agree nor Disagree (3) — Slightly Agree (4) — Moderately Agree (5)
— Strongly Agree (6).
Antihierarchical Aggression subscale:
1. The rich should be stripped of their belongings and status.
2. America would be much better off if all of the rich people were at the bottom of the social
ladder.
3. When the tables are turned on the oppressors at the top of society, I will enjoy watching
them suffer the violence that they have inflicted on so many others.
4. We need to replace the established order by any means necessary.
5. Anyone who opposes gay marriage must be homophobic.
6. People who are truly worried about terrorism should shift their focus to the nutjobs on the
far-right.
Anti-Conventionalism subscale:
7. The "old-fashioned ways" and "old-fashioned values" need to be abolished.
8. All political conservatives are fools.
Top-Down Censorship subscale:
9. Classroom discussions should be safe places that protect students from disturbing ideas.
10. University authorities are right to ban hateful speech from campus.
11. To succeed, a workplace must ensure that its employees feel safe from criticism.
12. I am in favor of allowing the government to shut down right-wing internet sites and blogs
that promote nutty, hateful positions.
19
20 HHS Report: Gender Ideology& Left-Wing Authoritarianism
13. Getting rid of inequality is more important than protecting the so-called "right" to free
speech.

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

Better Things Are Possible @internethippo.bsky.social · 8mo ago

One reason this filth remains niche slop for virulent racists and has no broader appeal is most people live in the world and don't understand what he's on about. He's pitching to a country that exists only in his fantasies. Despite some complaints most people don't think America is a desolate ruin

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people
who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family.
This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind, In fact, kindness radiated out of her.
Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn't wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine,
Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it Where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole.
Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles,

What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy: And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever.
We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine
On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns.
Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way.
We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee's legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.

And the most disappointing part of it is that even people like Tim Walz are preemptively victim-blaming protesters: “don’t allow them to bring in the national guard.” It feels eerily similar to the way people blame victims of domestic violence for provoking their abusers.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 8mo ago

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

Anarchist Quotes @anarchistquotes.com · 9mo ago

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words. Ursula K. Le Guin
