🇵🇸 Free Palestine 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Nonbinary people exist.

Hating generative AI is my personality now.
I miss my friend. I know he is better off but I still want him here. He was such a good boy.

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.

I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.
We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

The thing is, you can't make trans and intersex people nonexistent, you can only make them suffer.

By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Primary them all and block anybody who comes with the “at this crucial juncture the most important thing is that we win.” if they believed that they wouldn’t do this and with friends like them nobody needs enemies

You guys really need to develop the capacity of simultaneously holding the truth that the colonialist occupation and genocide of Palestine is unacceptable AND violent antisemitism is real

Both are true

It's not illegal to use the right toilets and no one should adhere to Mary-Ann Stephenson's headmistressly call to "follow rules" that serve no good purpose, breach the UK's human rights obligations, will be bad for all women, and debase trans dignity. Make her appoint her sodding toilet police.

When this guidance is published (given legal standing), as it almost certainly will be, as a trans man I will not be allowed to use non-unisex public toilets. Which is almost every public toilet.

Just want that to sink in, there.

Shout out to the dude on my flight reading a book and digging for treasure in his nose. Just getting deep in there.

This is one of the many reasons why I hate leaving my house.

Not a surprise to anyone but the US medical system for the elderly is fucking horrifying. Scrambling to sort out a place for my dad because the hospital is kicking him out and we have to get all the shit like bedding and gloves and such. Fun thing to do when dealing with the medical side of things.

I wanted to figure out a way that everyone who is in and around video games can take action to help end the genocide in Palestine, so I'm very proud to have worked with an amazing crew to announce No Games For Genocide.

Take a look at the beautiful site and sign the pledge!

I think it might be Matt Damon, because I'd get the Martian, all the (male) Oceans movies, Good Will Hunting, Thor films, the Bourne movies, Interstellar, Contagion, The Talented Mr Ripley, Kevin Smith films.

Though maybe Will Farrell would be a better choice for me. I'd get Elf AND Barbie.
This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.

I’m taking Cate Blanchett: Talented Mr. Ripley, LOTR, Life Aquatic, Black Bag, Tár, Ponyo, Hot Fuzz, Eyes Wide Shut, Thor

I am currently in California. I was not supposed to be here again until February.

Elders, please plan for what you will do when you age. It is deeply unfair to stock one's head in the sand and then expect your children to pause their lives to figure it out for you when an emergency happens.

Somehow early Friday morning both my parents fell and both ended up in the ER. They are now both in separate hospitals - one needs ankle surgery and the other is probably okay but waiting on a scan.
