if you're wondering why your trans friends everywhere are a little on edge right now, it's because a story about a radical conservative christian student abusing rules and processes to deliberately target a trans instructor consistently gets reframed to omit the entirety of the anti-trans bigotry
If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Pluto wasn't discovered until February 18th 1930 but I've got a pretty good feeling it was still there the entire time.

I can’t think why every prominent transphobe in the UK keeps coming out with takes like ‘don’t cut off your abusive family’
Yeah, no thanks.
Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

one of my favorite things about Warframe is when someone in the q&a channel asks what frame or weapon is "best" and you or someone else gets to say "basically whatever one you want to play as". everything's viable for most play. just pick one you think is cool dude

hi, cis folks!
this week, with some democrat votes, 2 anti-trans bills passed the house. one bans medicaid funds for trans youth care, the other proposes jail time for providers.
they haven't passed the senate, but dems may need convincing to vote no on both.
tap into the 🧵for a quick action.

a sequel:
cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by the trump-kennedy center than the fact that congress said a second time in 2 days, “no, really this kind of child’s healthcare should be banned & criminalized” & 46/47 non-GOP senators won’t commit to “i will oppose this.”

I remember reading how therapists are struggling with helping us in a lot of ways right now because we are reacting normally to the totally hellish nightmare world.
Like, if someone is ripping off your fingernails the proper response is to scream.

Okay if I can be selfish for a moment:
I'm delisted from itch. In the UK you literally can not see my profile.
A big chunk of my income, my living money, comes from bundles like this. It would mean a lot if you could share it, send it to friends. 🧵

There's another post somewhere here on BlueSky that goes something to the effect of "The most useful skill an artist can develop is 'Frustration Tolerance'."
So particularly if you are new to this and seeing frequent “if you don’t like making [art] don’t be an [artist!]” and thinking “But sometimes I DON’T like it…” and Imposter Syndrome is gathering you close and whispering you’re-nothings in your ear, please push it away.

I can *100% assure you* that if this report found that trans people & "wokeness" tanked the Harris campaign, the DNC would release it in a heartbeat
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.
