just said this on another post but it bears repeating: the thing about continuing to give money to any jk rowling properties or the nyt is not that they’re shitty about trans people, which they are. it is that both of these entities MATERIALLY CONTRIBUTE to the legal challenges to trans rights

Himesh Patel was one of the strongest parts of the whole film for me - the amount of rage and frustration & desperation he channels in every scene when dealing with his dipshit boss was palpable.

Everyone should read this story and see how the state of Idaho, the Trump administration, and hate groups such as ADF, SEGM, Do No Harm, and the Manhattan Institute have blood on their hands. They murdered this trans teen and her future. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Idaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.

The life and death of May Pollard, 16, provides a window into the tragic effect that legislation and political rhetoric have had on trans people in America.

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

If what you really want is a story with a marginalized author's name on it that still sounds exactly like a white dude who went to Clarion, then LLMs are tailor-made to feed you exactly what you want.

I know I’ve been harping a bit on this, but a journalistic institution that would defend a patently absurd and racist claim such as “Chinese women have small fingers” rather than simply admit error and correct is fundamentally unwell.

lol I just got momentarily hysterical thinking about the fact that the New York Times got its managing director for communications to confirm on a Saturday that it is standing by its reporting that young women in China have tiny hands and this is why Apple has its factories there

JK Rowling’s latest post on X mocks real oppression by ridiculing trans and queer people who are simply asserting boundaries and visibility. This isn’t satire, it’s cruelty dressed as wit! Dehumanising others for engagement isn’t brave, it’s cowardice. We see you, and we won’t be silent.

JK Rowling said. Happy International Fake Oppression Day to everyone who wants complete strangers to know they don't fancy a shag.

So, it’s not a niche issue. Trans rights are human rights. Self determination. Bodily autonomy. Freedom of expression. Full stop. So rights that matter to all of us. Let the govt erode these for trans ppl because they are “niche,” and they erode them for all of us. That’s it.

Okay so kind of. So sex is a constellation of biological traits, the stars are real but the meaning is made up. Gender is a cultural technology like language. You can speak the same language as someone but everyone has their own unique accent, cadence, patterns of speech etc.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

ditto for diet beverages. people just want them to be bad and keep looking for reasons despite reams of evidence that at normal levels they’re fine. some unholy admixture of fat shaming and protestant work ethic no free lunch ethos at play
