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

Conservatives: You need to go to your safe space now that you’re triggered, snowflake?!

Also conservatives: The entire country needs to be a safe space for me and my ideas and if I see a single homosexual in public I will set the world on fire.

I feel like when an apocalyptic bill get shot down due to public outcry they shouldn't be allowed to just wait & run it through again, not once, let alone 12 times or whatever it is now

I think she’s using “tankie” here to mean anyone who’s anti-capitalism, which seems to be a thing that liberals do these days

There is a tiny minority of leftists that actually believe this, but they’re hardly representative of the rest of us

reminder: transsexuality is NOT bourgeois in any way, shape, or form and "designer pussies" are literally just fucking healthcare

it is a RIGHT, not some frivolous dalliance and it is absolutely NOT incompatible with a more communist, egalitarian society

fuck off with that bullshit.

I actually had a dream last night in which this effectively happened to me, my body transformed into that of a cis woman (temporarily). I particularly remember noticing how much thinner my neck and my wrists were (these are 2 of my dysphoria triggers), although my height was the same

Jo 🏳️‍⚧️🏴🦕 @youjogirl.bsky.social · 16h

I have become convinced that even if the tech existed to transform the bodies of trans people to be completely indistinguishable inside & out from those of cis people of their gender, down to the level of DNA, these assholes would still not accept us. To even mention “medical technology” is a canard

Tell children today that, they won't believe you.

Newspaper website headline: "Blind bisexual goose named Thomas who spent six years in a love triangle with two swans and helped raise 68 babies dies at the ripe old age of 40."

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

Can anyone out there either fund domain + hosting for a shop (somewhere we have a site builder) or alternatively, host a shop somewhere we can use our own domain + API plugins?

We need to shift gears now to possibly try to make it.

In her life, Marilyn Monroe was exploited and abused by so many men.
Studio executives, so many people.
After she died, men continued to exploit her for their pleasure: trying to get themselves buried near/above her.
What your writer did here is obscene, nonconsensual and makes me feel slightly ill
