is SO RUDE that this one time I made a joke & you know what they did? They **didn't get the joke**. And then they didn't even laugh politely to save my feelings! And so then I explained the joke & they were all "ok" and went on w their day. And then the next day they called me a kobold.

Drafting a poll. Hilary Cass has been spouting a lot of stuff that should get push-back in the media, but doesn't, like policing haircuts and nicknames to prevent trans cooties. Yet bc of the Cass report ppl treat her as an authority.

Who wants to see Cass interviewed by @ichotiner.bsky.social ?
I would give a lot of money to someone on a high-profile news-interview show to simply ask,

"How do you police the haircuts of children who don't tell the NHS that they think they're trans? And what government department should be in charge of approving children's haircuts, do you think?"
But those children, the tiny number who because they are trans will only be happy being allowed to transition and grow up to be trans adults, have to be subjected to gatekeeping around FUCKING HAIRCUTS AND PREFERRED NAMES, in order to protect some cis queer kids from haircuts and preferred names.

"Fuck Gavin Newsom/Wes Streeting/Your Country's Version" is a far more reliable indicator, when placed in someone's bio, than a generic, "I'm an ally! 🏳️‍⚧️‬"

(And, yes, there are non-sweary versions I would accept. But I'm a cuss-mouthed floozie, so the swear just came naturally to me.)
When a trans person says they don’t trust Gavin.

The current trend is for random people with “ally” in their profile telling us to concede our rights because we should be embracing the current fascist regime not shaming it.

Not actually listen to real trans people. More educated than them
...if you're a trans person who speaks out about how horrible Newsom is on trans issues, you get *flooded* with ppl telling you to "vote blue no matter who". to which I say: fuck you! would you vote for a politician who says he wants to roll back your rights? www.erininthemorning.com/p/why-transg...

BREAKING NEWS!- PM Aurora Maccormicki replaces PM Tuxley II amid Bird Flu crisis.

“Women should be in charge during crisis. I only won the tariff war because I delegated my Bluesky and [TrustMe Social] media account to a female staffer who threatened America with total annihilation.” -Tuxley II

I kind of love not knowing if this is some contemporary feminist having anachronistic fun or if this really existed decades ago, perhaps before I was born.

Okay, Alt-text experts:

I write alt-text all the time, but I just had to alt-text Betty White saying, "Maaaaybe!" and I realized that I don't know how screen readers handle that sort of thing & if it actually comes across or if it's better for folks depending on alt-text if I spell it by the book.

1/x: I respect AMC and we agree on lots. I think this particular statement needs refinement, however, so I'm gonna give y'all a short thread. If you're AMC fans and inclined to dismiss her "opponents" I still hope you give this thread a shot.
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

I knew a cis dyke named - and I kid you not - Duke.

We met at a training by the local prosecutor's office for ppl who were volunteering to support rape/sexual assault complainants.

She had no trouble being cis or feeling solidarity with cis women. Feminist to the core, and a great person.
How many big passing butches do you know called Max or Sam, or by Tee because their given name at birth was Tiffany and they can't go out of the house with that?

This was how the moderates upheld segregation.

"Look, we'd love to higher you for the job. You're well qualified. We're not racist here at all. Unfortunately some of our bigger accounts are racist and we might lose their business if we hired a Black man. Sorry. It's not us, it's them."

Hyperbole is a greater threat to democracy than Donald Trump.

Exactly. Even if defending the petroleum supply chain was not itself a problem that alt-E tech could drastically reduce/eliminate (though not without creating a commitment to alt-E supply chains), humans are not going to stay on once-productive land that turns uninhabitable.

Climate affects NatSec.
Climate change is a huge natsec wicked problem, made more so by Trump's, the Trump/MAGA movement, the GOP's, the conservative movement, & fellow travelers refusal to accept its existence. You think we've got a human migration problem now? Just wait a few more degrees. 23/

Let's all acknowledge what's going on.

The KIDS are not having trouble figuring out that being gender non-conforming, queer, and trans are different things. Words are new, info is hidden, but when they have the info, they do fine.

45+yos have trouble & assume kids know less. The opposite is true.
If people are 'less locked into gender stereotypes' then how are they also 'misleading children' into thinking they're trans if they don't conform to said stereotypes?

She's not even making sense on her own terms.

Rings completely true to me as a permanent resident of the PNW, but I doubt my friends in Calgary and Ottawa would agree.

always interesting how the sexual immorality is when women WANT to have sex with you 😬
February 16, 2026 at 5:34 AM
Love how he's all like, "If women vote we'll get sexual immorality!" as if dudes are the sexually moral gender in our history.

Yeah, dudes. None of you have ever done anything sexually immoral and none of you have ever thought it was unfair of the government to care about your sexytimes.

Sure.
I’ve seen this person get retweeted by MAGA influencers like Benny Johnson. He’s not kidding. This is a real political goal he is pursuing. He has 425,000 followers on Facebook.

Dear trans kids:

If I had two samosas, I'd give you one.

Actually probably not. I go through samosas pretty quickly. But I'd take you with me the next time I got samosas so that we could get a whole whack of them and you could take home half and I'd still be full.
We have your backs. You're not alone.

And, actually, there are a couple of law libraries that have been good to me that should have some, also, too!
