what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

Israeli ceasefires aren't worth the paper they were signed on

Plumes of smoke from Israeli attacks were seen rising over Gaza hours after Israel and Hamas agreed to the first phase of a ceasefire plan, brokered by Donald Trump.

And to think, once I could not see the power of injections, to see the gains they could provide. I was once a fool.

God, I've only been on injections for two weeks, and I think I shorted myself last time, and my tits already hurt more than they have in years. I'm already a 40DD! Where's it going to end?

What we don't talk about enough is the dignity harm suffered by women who have to share the public sphere with guys who go around talking about our bodies like we're a public resource whose use and distribution they're qualified to determine.

I will devote my every waking moment to sabotaging your electoral chances, across the entire ticket. Federal, state, and local, everybody.

I will grab your party by the ankles and drag you into the meat grinder after me.

I'm gonna say it again, and I'm gonna keep saying it until it sinks in or this exorcist figures out how to banish me:

I will actively work against any candidate or party that tries to sacrifice my community. It's not even that I won't vote for them, it's so far beyond that.

"I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights."

Then don't expect trans people to sacrifice themselves for your rights either. We are all free or none of us are, and if you can't stand and die on this hill, your country isn't worth dying for.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can't protect ANY groups if we can't win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That's not "erasing" them; it's long-horizon strategy.

The way that major healthcare institutions have just decided the rules don't apply when it comes to trans people. Research ethics? Consent? Basic human dignity? Those would just be too inconvenient and it's only a bunch of trannies.

Typewriter Skeleton @tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social · 1d

Oslo University Hospital caught using trans patients' journals for research purposes:
- Without the patients' consent to participate in research
- Affecting minors
- 1700 of them
- Taking highly sensitive information from said journals

This is a HUGE breach.

I am finding two ways of thinking about this in South Africa

1. USAID cuts immediately closed SA trans clinics, and trans ppl, cut off from gender affirming care, have since died by suicide

2. USAID cuts have cut HIV/AIDS medication access, which takes months or years to manifest in deaths

The Associated Press @apnews.com · 1d

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

It's so low-effort, is what always strikes me about it. Like he clearly understands the path of the grifter, but doesn't have the energy or commitment to really walk it with any enthusiasm, so he just waffles unsuccessfully back and forth looking for someone to praise, and presumably pay, him.

The endless clash between the desire to present butch and the horrible dysphoria I experience when I don't do my makeup in the one specific way I like. Is there a word for this? A word other than "indecisive?"

Would notice that my performance wasn't very convincing, etc. I still like putting the costume on, every now and then, but I think I'm done trying to persuade myself that it's more than that.

I'm a dyke, and that's all there is to it.

You are not as old as you think you are, you are neither as wise nor as foolish as you think you are, your dreams are still within reach, failure is still a possibility, and you still have a lot of learning, growing, and changing to do. You are not done yet, and never will be.
