I don't know where this revisionism has come from about the suffragettes - people saying "if the suffragettes were around today, they'd be considered terrorists."

The suffragettes were arrested and tortured, sexually assaulted and beaten by the state. They *were* considered terrorists!

No, Natania, another inflatable Halloween decoration won’t actually make you feel less depressed about the continued downward spiral into fascism but like we can certainly try.

Dammit, I'm blushing AGAIN.

ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN citations from these AGs for why the FTC's weaponization against trans healthcare is garbage. They put in the work.

For visually impaired…

There's a reason we're the outgroups du jour, the convenient scapegoats to unite those mired in the sunk cost fallacy of social convention and meaningless rules of knowing our place and shutting the fuck up in front of authority. 4/4?

Further to this: leaving aside the huge overlap between being trans and being neurodivergent, being trans is an act of not putting up with the status quo. As a symbol of rejecting/ actively questioning rigid normativity and finding happiness in following our own happiness, that's potent stuff. 3/4

Narcissists can't abide the kind of person who'll point out that the Emperor is naked. If a social rule seems pointless, we won't just follow it without pushback. That feels like grit between the teeth of fascism… 2/2

I mean… someone's probably already said this, but it occurred to me this morning that maybe the reason why there's such demonisation of autistic folk right now is the neurodivergent propensity for honesty and frankness. 1/2

Don't put Baby (James) in the corner (tumble dryer).

I dare, sir.

novelty /ˈnɒvlti/
noun
1. the quality of being new, original, or unusual.
2. a small and inexpensive toy or ornament.

Is it inaccurate?

I live alone, and talk to myself aloud quite a lot. In unrelated news, my partner recently bought me a novelty teatowel featuring a mutual friend's face.

Thus it was that I found myself considering aloud during a domestic task that "No, @jamesrosscomedy.bsky.social doesn't go in the tumble dryer…"

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy.

It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of.

We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

Yes, but not on Bluesky…

The revolution is a process, not a product.

So the picture on the #GoFundMe is a field of sunflowers because she loves sunflowers so very much (for her, the texture is more important than the colour, but she remembers that yellow is her favourite colour, and she loves the warmth of the sun, so it's perfect).

Mind blown at how many have already shared what they can for my friend Caihua. You may be wondering why her household haven't added a picture of her, or them, on the page, and it's because they're still potentially in danger from the people who put them all in this situation in the first place...
