transphobia is sexism

if you have a penis you must have these characteristics
if you have a vagina you must have these characteristics

the more transphobic a person is the more sexist they are

the more sexist a society is the more transphobic it is

this should be obvious but apparently it isn't🙄

Christopher Columbus himself was a monster, but Columbus Day was instituted in 1892 to combat rising anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic bigotry after the lynching of eleven Italian-Americans. The same revanchists defending Columbus Day as "part of our US heritage" in 2025 would have opposed it in 1892.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Wait, is Supergiant a meta card now? Honestly haven't seen her in many decks, but I haven't hit infinite this season.

OK, that's fucking weird. Really doesn't match the other things he's said and things he's boosted on other platforms.

Honestly, I wonder if that Threads account is a fake. Wouldn't be the first time Meta failed at due diligence.

You know MAGA is an incestuous cult because the entire world, especially Palestinians, realizes Israel just played Trump and there's no "peace in the Middle East."

However, Trump gets his ego stroked, and MAGA Reeks get to praise their King for a day.

One of my favorite little details in DS9 is that Ben Sisko's Dad runs a restaurant, in a world full of replicators, in which no one has to work for money to survive. Why? Because that is what he wants to do. It's simple, but it is one of the most optimistic things about Star Trek.

Brendel @brendelbored.bsky.social · 9h

I know it’s the most obvious thing in the world but it’s really sad that so many people have absolutely no desires or dreams in life except to accumulate money and our entire world is becoming a fucking pit because of it

Does anyone know if this organization is reliable/helpful for immigrants and their communities here? Or even any other recommendations for organizations like this? I’m working on something so I’m doing some research.

Before you complain that words like "genocide" and "fascist" have become overused, stop and consider: are they really overused, or have the phenomena they describe merely become more common/prominent as our world has descended into madness and cruelty?

I think Netanyahu is terrible and the attacks on Gaza have gone way too far. I also think people like you have cheapened the word "genocide" and toss it around so recklessly that there is no upside in engaging in discussion.

Half of the Unplugged album is covers. Kurt decided to use that show to showcase all of Nirvana's influences, which was really rad.

T-Pain also has a surprisingly awesome War Pigs cover. He weaves a little gospel music styling into it and it works really well.

This is a relatively obscure pick, I know, but I absolutely adore this cover.

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

Not gonna link the troll but Bari Weiss clearly represents “thought police” more than 100,000 Bluesky leftists scolding you for writing a defense of Weiss ever will, and ignoring that reality is clearly designed to curry the favor of thought police. You’re not a free thinker, you’re the boot licker.

The problem with JK Rowling is that she refuses to just live with other people (specifically trans people).

The problem with Kiera Knightley here is that she demands tolerance for people who refuse to tolerate others.

Both can fuck off.

Laura 🍁🍄🦇🎃 @tricksyliesmith.bsky.social · 21h

oh no. no. absolutely the fuck not. fuck off.

a bullshit statement from Keira knightley saying she was not aware of a boycott against jk Rowling before taking a job on the new audio series and that she's "sorry" and "we're all going to have to figure out how to live together and we've all got very different opinions"
She can fuck off.
