Was a different person once; haunted by the Eight of Swords, and the ghosts of Luis Riel and Dustin Ackley. Lapsed E. Orthodox with a keeness for Sergii Bulgakov; given over to the birch goddess. An acolyte of the stacks.

The lionization of Charlie Kirk genuinely proves the point about centrists and leading media figures. The man dehumanized women, minorities, transgendered people, Muslims, etc was building bridges by debating others on these views that all these people are less than human. What a great guy.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…
Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.
And America shrugged and moved on.

Pundits are focusing on Kirk’s willingness to debate people while studiously ignoring the people whose basic humanity he was willing to debate

How did the tech bro crowd, growing up on stories of sci-fi, transhumanism, virtual reality and limitless ability to modify one's body, "biohacking," etc. end up becoming so viscerally anti-transgender? Truly boggles my mind.

The louder a person is about being a “good Christian” and how everyone else is a sinner, the creepier they turn out to be. Like, every single time.

Self impregnating organisms - Mary - give birth to genetic copies of themself, so Jesus must have transitioned. Just as Eve was probably XY chromos, given she was cloned from Adam’s rib. Which means she would have been banned from the 100m and called a man by GCs. Happy Christmas everybody 🏳️⚧️😊❄️🎄

cis folks on here should have their feeds replaced by a trans person’s for a day. they’d see the fear, the anguish, the hopelessness of a community that is tired, broke, starving, and desperate for a shred of human decency in a world that wants to end us.

Also yes this. If you don’t run the “are we even civilized any more?” piece when children get shot in their classrooms you forfeit the moral right to run that piece when one health care CEO is killed.
This year alone there were 55 deaths associated with school shootings.
But the CEO.
But the CEO.
The brazen murder of a CEO in Midtown Manhattan—and the cheering reaction to his execution—amounts to a blinking-and-blaring warning signal for a society that has become already too inured to bloodshed, @adriennelaf.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/ZRcsrreK

“TCL plans to get more into original content, fueled by a dystopian strategy that seems largely built around minimizing costs and pushing ads. The movies will be ‘informed and funded by targeted advertising,’ 404 reported, citing TCL’s presentation.”
