She/Her, making wine and doing crimes

Shitlibs making up people to get mad at (their imagined voter who was engaged enough to vote uncommitted in the primaries, but disengaged enough to not vote in the actual election), and then describing all the people to the left of them as "the worst people on earth".

Karolina Muchova Fan Club @muchovafa... 55m In 2024 the Uncommitted movement fucked over Dems in Michigan by refusing to back Kamala. Now Dems who voted Stevens are being told by the worst people on earth to vote blue no matter who, despite Uncommitted not doing that. Where's Uncommitted's apology first? @thebulwark. com @timmiller. bsky. social

Someone replied with "as someone with undiagnosed adhd I fail to see the similarity to detransitioning" before explaining how all it does is remove a label. Yeah, just a label... and, you know, the medical care that's locked behind that label. Glad that part of the bs has already translated across

"removing my adhd diagnosis was a relief (because of ablest policies that discriminate against a significant proportion of the population)" is the new "I'm happier after detransitioning (despite my ongoing dysphoria, because I'm not being actively transphobically abused every day by my society)"

Oh look, the online age gating bullshit forced through by Christian fundamentalist groups has actually made teens less safe online, and the only result is a loss of privacy for everyone involved, and a bunch of adults who can't even use DMs on Bsky without submitting government ID to a third party

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

You'd have to read to the thirteenth paragraph to discover the pull quote for the title was from Marcus Siding, a 23-year-old Swedish man living in Sweden that wanted to become a cop, but his ADHD diagnosis at the age of 12 barred him by law from becoming a Swedish cop Seems relevant

'“When my ADHD diagnosis was removed, it was a relief’
Rates of conditions such as ADHD and autism seem to be ever growing, but some adults diagnosed in childhood are happy to be free of their labels”
