wandering an art museum with the bf we go to a "temporary exhibits" section and i round the corner just to get emotionally curbstomped by an exhibit i know

Rank and file Republicans are turning against LGBT acceptance and GOP politicians are leaning into bigotry in both rhetoric and policy. But it is you, the progressive queer or ally, who needs to open your mind and consider other people's feelings. news.gallup.com/poll/710810/...

i'd like to point out that this stunt isn't intended to say "see? we ARE inclusive!" but instead for something for cis people to point at as permission to give joanne hitler money

Warner Bros is reaching new levels of desperation to hype up the new wizard boy show. They’re actively seeking out trans influencers to do promo and there is no hell hot enough for these traitors.

I respect M. Gessen (in theory), but in here in reality, this is SUCH hotdog guy energy. The NYT encouraged these horrors and here we are.

Jesse Thorn@jessethorn.bsky.social · last wk.

M. Gessen has written a truly extraordinary piece about the "soft fascism" faced by transgender people in America, and by trans people in Kansas particularly. Beautifully written and reported, deeply humane. I really hope you'll read it. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/o...

oh my god

on a train from palencia to valència call that the grimm's law express

woke up today on the west coast of america, will be falling asleep on the west coast of europe by monday

the last four years have caught up with me in the last four days im kinda struggling

rocket stages have been hitting the moon for over 65 years now why is this one news it's over 10x smaller than what nasa used to intentionally piledrive yeah look i want him gone too but this is normal space activity he was probably too drugged out to know was happening

if you're reading all these articles as they come out and assuming the story is "these models are escaping containment and causing danger" and not "this is a PR campaign by companies desperate to build hype" I think you are very silly.

It keeps happening... It'd be great if these companies could spend a little bit more time on network security and a little less time vibe coding.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

there we go a decade long streak of learning language

been having a lot of dreams where like im a burger burning on a grill or an asteroid vaporizing in the atmosphere or one of those hotdog getting overdone on a gas station roller and i thought it was my subconscious protesting my sunburns but now i wonder if this is burn-out im feeling and dreaming

yeah we gotta just ban the short form video platforms if they exist to blenderize loosely understood concepts from sociology and history into conspiracy-brained rants about how starbucks exists to neuter the revolutionary class

3rd spaces and revolution.

incredibly depressing the thing that inspired me to follow my creativity into being a scientist has now decided to discard creativity for LLM slop

want to address this one because it’s a common misconception. this whole thing is entirely astroturfed transphobia, and if “good faith” people bought it they never looked into the science (there is no physical advantage for trans girls over cis girls) or the fact that this was a settled matter

@chrisvls.bsky.social · 3w ago

dunno. there's a difference between public performative political discourse and personal views... yes, the campaigners are all bad faith, but I certainly know cis parents with gay kids who do in fact see tough issues in girls sports but give no quarter on passports, ids, jobs, bathrooms, violence...

wait this is kind of art look at my conlang script and don't ask why this translates to short form video meme

The way student discomfort became valid the second it became right-coded, you have to laugh

A college professors is fired for teaching an Ottessa Moshfegh story that causes "mild discomfort" for one student. Implication is that DeSantis government was involved in the firing. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/u...

Mr. Gorbachev, turn down for what

back on my bullshit (conlanging my entire d&d world)

love hitting the point of tired where sounds stop sounding like real sounds and start sounding like sound effects

center for american progress (2021): "Trans inclusive policies "which allow transgender athletes to compete in accordance with their gender identity, should be implemented nationwide." Center for american progress in (2026): "restrictions may be appropriate under some circumstances"

"john rod" has infected my brain in a way i haven't felt since i first got into jojos

it's a shame the only thing holding me back from getting rich off idiots with some sort of "salad for men" grift is my own moral code

so eepy.. so busy... draw later....

It’s cool that national columnists think that if I ever was accused of a crime and could not afford bail that I should be housed in a men’s prison, and that if you don’t agree with that position you lack common sense political ideology.
