"GSRM" (Gender Sexual & Romantic Minorities) is a great alternative to saying “Queer” or LGBT+.

It's fast to say, isn’t harmful to any of us, and is all encompassing/futureproof. It invites everyone in the rainbow family to be equal w/o hurting any of us.

I “came out” when I was 13. This isn’t remarkable now but in the 90s we didn’t come out until our mid to late 20s usually. And I use quotes…

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

If you went to the Far Right March in London

You don't mind that all the organisers are racist
You didn't mind that all the speakers are racist
You don't mind that their goals are racist

So actually even if you think you aren't, you are a racist

Btw that Kryptonian recording relies on Engineer for honest translation. No human linguist could translate it. Only 3 people could. @jamesgunn.bsky.social said it’s authentic but never said it wasn’t mistranslated.

That exchange with Lois had me on edge. Peak Superman gave me TAS vibes. Superhero political autonomy is pivotal to Superman. And Lois and him have had fantastic discussions about this. Delaney was being channeled in this clip and I’m here for it. :) Hope Lois isn’t an establishment bootlicker tho.

Abolish ICE remains the correct position. Those who called for it in 2018 showed great foresight.

Here’s a reminder how The Washington Post treated it.

This is how legacy media treats good ideas from the left—with scorn and dismissal to build consent for the status quo.

The proposed cuts to health care in Republican budget could increase some families’ medical debts by as much as $22,800.

Overall, medical debt would increase by $50 billion as a result of the budget bill, according to a new report.

Dear Americans

Your media class won’t tell you the truth but if it looks like fascism walks like fascism and talks like fascism; it’s not democracy.

A Zionist fascist far-right is ascendent in the US and if you don’t rise up to stop it immediately you’ll be living under tyranny fast.

Yes, everything would have been better if the US elected the first black lady (afaik) to commit genocide. She lost because she was committing genocide and refused to offer any improvement on USian material conditions. Vote for the kinder gentler boot.
