I am in awe over just how fucking stupid this is. It pleases nobody. Trans women have any victories invalidated. Cis competitors who actually care about the sport don't want a consolation prize and ones that are bigots will whine just as hard about how they should have won the real thing anyways.

1. California will now give consolation spots to cisgender girls in finals who lose to trans girls. This comes after a vote by CA's sports authority. Newsom has expressed support for the move. It is a remarkable capitulation to Trump. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

my ace/aro spec brain can understand now why sex is something you do with someone you love but I still can’t understand sex as an *expression* of love.

I’ve been wanting this for a while

I’ve been struggling heavily since mistreatment from a doctor left me within a couple of minutes of death, and the only reason I lived was because I had friends watching me in shifts and someone noticed something was wrong. and even then I had treatment withheld for more than 6 hours.

"I want to support indie creators, but I dont have the money for it." Good news! Support is not at all limited to financial contributions! Give that book a glowing review. Invite your friends to play that cool game. Hoot and holler about how much you love that movie. Hype the good shit up!

Really poor from the Oxford Literary Festival. By giving credence to the false framing that Trans rights and women's rights are in opposition they are not just platforming bigotry, but actively legitimising a dangerous far-right talking point. I will be boycotting because of this event.

Well I was going to go to the Oxford Literary Festival. But you know what, I don't think I'll bother.

The goal of “sex work is work”, for me at least, is not to say “sex work is as ‘good’ as all other work”, but to say “all other work is as exploitative as sex work”

Of the 10,600 people monitored after being exposed to H5N1 bird flu-infected animals, only 540 have been tested, according to the CDC. 63 of those tested were positive, bringing the positivity rate to over 11%.

Accessibility features in games aren’t just for ‘other people’, you’re probably using them without even realizing it. Key mapping, subtitles, brightness adjustments – these are accessibility options. So next time someone says, ‘I don’t need accessibility features,’ remind them they already do.

Palestinians mass tagging, I know you are doing all you can to reach out to survive, attach your fundraiser you wish to promote either in a message above where it’s tagged or in that message & I can more quickly boost your fundraiser. I know you must do what you must but it’s how I can help better.

My Dad did a lot of critical Y2K stuff and went absolutely apeshit bonkers when I once suggested it was a big nothingburger and I got a multiday lecture

Xopher Halftongue RESISTS!@halftongue.bsky.social · 2y ago

This is garbage. We worked on Y2K compliance for years, and succeeded, and now you're acting like we were being alarmist. This the kind of trash reporting I expect from Fox "News," not NPR. You should take this down.

DAMMIT NPR. I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded. Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

NPR@npr.org · 2y ago

People feared the computer glitch would mean "the end of the world as we know it." Thankfully, Y2K didn't live up to the hype after years and billions of dollars were spent on painstaking preparation.

Teaching children sex is only a thing that happens when you're in love is fucked up and creates the idea that if you have sex with someone you must love them, or using sex as a way to feel loved. Extremely damaging sexual desire and love do not only happen simultaneously

Sex workers…? You mean our Thirst Responders? 🫡🫡🫡🫡

Horrifying to hear description by Medècin Sans Frontiers of mass killing by Israeli death squads in Gaza. Clear objective is to exterminate entire population, with hundreds of thousands facing certain death. It’s the literal crime of the century, with full backing by the West.

Do the general public know that so-called "gender critical" therapists are running workshops instructing parents how to stop their kid being trans, and then running other workshops to instruct parents how to deal with alienation from their kids? These people are literally destroying families.

"I was exactly what they wanted to a T, and that's why it felt so right." Disney decided it's too risky to let children see this young trans women as a human being like themselves. For shame.
