Tis the season that I'm thankful for everyone who embraces this radical proposition.
Nobody owes you a gender performance.
I believe in the radical proposition that gender should be fun and life-affirming, not an obligation assigned without consent.
If you're not having fun in your gender, or trying to piss all over someone else's fun with theirs, you're definitely doing it wrong.

Republicans are purposely and strategically incompetent on antiterror; they hope for violent attacks they can frame as terrorist, to justify accelerating the terrorist violence they’re already enacting against the US civilian population.

Luc Besson, the director of the Fifth Element and the Professional and the Taken series, has been a known pedophile since he confessed to "dating" then marrying and impregnating a child in 1992.
His latest movie, Dracula: A Love Tale, was made this year.

@bachynski.bsky.social says that vaccines are like an athlete’s training regimen. All they do is get your body in shape to play the game (fight infection) on its own.
💉 One thing I rarely see explained is how vaccination *is* "natural immunity".
The immunity is developed by your body not the vaccine. The vaccine itself doesn’t do the work.
I think the confusion partly comes from a phrase scientists use. 🧵⬇️

RFK Jr.’s new CDC deputy director prefers “natural immunity” over vaccines
Ralph Abraham is “dangerous,” but somehow not the worst among those considered.

Our media is not for readers/the audience anymore. Bezos doesn’t care about more subscribers to the Post - he wants it to please the administration giving him billions in contracts & subsidies. Same for Ellison hiring Weiss at CBS - no intention of growing the audience.
Journalists who came up through the ranks, knew their readers names, recognised their faces and understood their concerns 1st hand have historically been the backbone of the press. The right-wing corporatization of media has replaced it w an elite “ruling class” corps utterly out of touch w readers
I can’t claim to be neutral. But I am grateful I wasn’t hired at 19 before graduating college and then plummeted into journalism stardom. I was forced to learn my lessons in a small town newspaper where the audience was small but cared deeply when I made my mistakes — and forced me to confront them

"Left on the economy, right on culture" is also, as needs repeating a hundred thousand time, the central lie of fascism.
OF COURSE it appeals to the in-group who thinks their well-being AND their prejudices will be pandered to.

The thing about "left on the economy, right on culture" is it's based on analysis of swing voters. Those voters are often low attention and their politics are often not especially coherent. Which is fine for them, it's not their job to run the country, but, you know, the government is

I was working six part-time jobs when my dad’s partner’s kid called me up and said, “You know how to code, right?” and I said, “Yeah,” and he said, “And you’d go to Africa if I told you to, right,” and I said, “Yeah,” and the rest is history.

it seems to me that if this type of medical care that was so effective at saving lives with such safety profile/lack of side effects was observed in any other area people would be falling over themselves to celebrate it.
I hope it can somehow make a difference in Alberta.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

When I went home to Mississippi last week, a Black farmer welcomed folks to pick greens from his land for free. It made me wonder whether other communities across the country were also giving back ahead of the holiday.
The answer: yes, they are.
