As a defender of traditional gender roles, I am concerned that Ed is promoting Finding Nemo, where Marlin stays male after his wife died. When the dominant female dies the largest male clownfish turns female. This is basic biology! I don't want my child to grow up confused about clownfish.

given user name, would be remiss if I did not acknowledge today is World Whale Day... recently re-watched "Star Trek IV: The One With The Whales"... have to say there are few cinematic moments more viscerally satisfying than a Klingon bird of prey decloaking and ruining the day of a whaler ship
Nobody's life should be ruined for saying racist things, recently, on social media. People's lives would only be ruined for REALLY bad things, like taking a workspace diversity training six years ago

Digital organizing is a skill and one you can refine to be more effective. For most people it won’t be the most effective tool in their personal toolbelt- they might be capable of other things, and should pursue those. It is just one of many, and one that does take skill.
To be clear: just posting willy nilly isn’t effective digital organizing. You do need to be strategic, spread action items not just doom, and build community not just rage clickers. You have to coalition build, and coordinate with people able to use other strategies.
Hot girls of DC! We desperately need you to throw amazing extremely loud parties in the general vicinity of the Eisenhower executive office building and Ronald Reagan building. Preferably ones with enormous amounts of drugs! Have compromising convos with anyone who looks like a douchey tech bro
Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Call/email your senators NOW to oppose Kennedy"s confirmation. Even if you think they already made up their mind. He's unqualified and deeply anti science. People *will die* if he is confirmed. Take five minutes out of your social media time and do it thanks
The focus on injury risk is wild because 1) if you were that worried about injury from you'd ban roller derby from county facilities altogether, everyone gets injured in roller derby 2) coed sports leagues are still allowed? A team could be 5 men 5 women but not 9 cis women 1 trans woman? Cmon
Until All of Us Are Free@solidarity5ever.bsky.social · 2y agoA women's roller derby league sued to stay inclusive and the judge, a man, said "silly women, I know what's best for you". Trans panic isn't about protecting women, it's about controlling women.
On the one hand I think psychoanalysis is congenitally misogynist, and its popular reemergence is a symptom of backlash that will ultimately be wielded against the cause of women’s freedom. On the other hand, conservatives keep saying shit like this.
Inspired by @blurry-line.bsky.social 's post about things we love, enjoy this beautiful love letter to New Wave that I found from searching online for why so many New Wave artists are autistic. I couldn't have put it better. medium.com/@thegorezone...

They were in HER church. You can pick where to attend religious services; you can't pick the sermon you hear.
I don't think any clergywoman is surprised to see a powerful man call a female bishop who stood up to him a "so called bishop". We know this move well.
If you want to oppose Trumpism, one thing you can do is make sure that men who would call clergywomen "so called" don't think you're joining them in that assessment. It comes up a lot more than you might think.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.
Tapirs everywhere! This male was checking me out this evening at @tapirvalley.bsky.social. Their proboscises are so fun. #tapirs #costarica
I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
