But responding to hate speech with "go fuck yourself" isn't dogpiling. Even if a hundred people do it. If those hundred people are independently responding to contemptible garbage with contempt? That's not an organized attempt to silence someone. It's a disorganized enforcement of social norms.

i honestly care less more about the existence of that show more than the fact that its author is the primary anglosphere literary cultural capitalist and is basically untouchable in anglosphere common law systems, which is to say the rest of the planet. well, what can u do
if you wouldn't walk up to me IRL and say it, then you shouldn't say it in my replies
I spent months speaking to trans politicians and scholars, as well as one victim of viral transphobia, to write about how trans hatred has become a political strategy to gain votes in Brazil for @globalvoices.org and @noornetwork.bsky.social: globalvoices.org/2026/05/21/a...
Attacks on trans identities become a strategic political tool in Brazil
In the last decade in Brazil, transphobia has become one of the main tools for disseminating misinformation. In many cases, it is spread by elected politicians with millions of followers

Amazing map! Thanks for sharing @coolhand.bsky.social. It’s beautiful. Any chance you can add in some sign languages to this? For example, Auslan in Australia and NZSL in NZ should have links to BSL in the UK. 😊
@adamcschembri.bsky.social @simongreenhill.bsky.social just looked to see who has mentioned Glottolog on here academically and you’re our winners! I don’t know what to do with these visualizations. Perhaps I should send them to the project as a gift. There are many more.
"Legal representatives said] they were unable to obtain sign language interpreters for their clients who are deaf.. "they had to remain in remand for longer" ...individuals w/ serious mental health conditions had spent months in prison for minor offences before charges were withdrawn or overturned"
"These are not just Aboriginal people with disability going into the prison system, the remand system, the prison and the police cells," the Gomeroi woman said. "These are turning up also in our deaths in custody numbers."

There is a tiny and evershrinking list of Republicans who shouldn't be sent to prison for treason for the rest of their miserable lives. Fascists are intrinsically traitors to any democratic state, and should be treated as such.
normalize telling people they don't know what they're talking about.
For me, the biggest takeaway from Sophie Cunningham’s hard launch into the right-wing culture wars is how *lucrative* bigotry is now. There’s an entire conservative media ecosystem that will turn anyone willing to make transphobia their personal brand into a well-compensated star.

Hello Friends! It's September 1, and that means it's PURSE GIVEAWAY DAY!! If you're new here, I have a hobby of collecting designer and premium purses I find at thrift stores and restoring them as best I can. But now I have too many, so I'm giving them away to trans femmes who want/need purses!
Vaccines really are amazing scientific accomplishments. The shingles vaccines reduces risk of heart disease. The HPV vaccine has made cervical cancer virtually obsolete. We’re close to an mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer. Science for the win! www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Does the shingles vaccine cut heart-disease risk? Mounting evidence suggests a link
Large study finds that people who received the ‘recombinant’ vaccine for the viral condition had a lower risk of cardiovascular problems.

it's genuinely staggering just how many people repress themselves based on the ideology that "sex is inherent, unchanging, and permanent no matter what one does". such ridiculousness that one simply wishes to take a hammer to "sex" and smash it to pieces to free all people.
There are truly so many people who aren't trans women who nonetheless feel absolute brazen confidence in spouting their rancid gutter-tier opinions about trans women. This is the product of a society that claps like circus seals every time someone has the original thought "tranny bad".
Sapphic September, Deaf Awareness Month and Bi Visibility Month? Awesome

I don't have my hopes up since everyone was walking around barefaced during wildfire smoke wondering why they felt lousy, but maybe acutely horrible BO will get y'all to finally protect yourselves.
if dudes keep pheromone maxxing, y'all are gonna want to rethink your personal policies on masking.
