Why are bad faith statements from white peoplethe defining feature of identity politics rather than the writers who actually wrote the theory being referenced?

The COO of bluesky, Rose, is following the heritage foundation account on bluesky.

Soyweiser @soyweiser.bsky.social · 7h

She is the COO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_o... of bsky. This is worrying because after the 'we are turning waffles into an anti-trans thing' by the CEO the CEO started to follow a transphobe. Shows a pattern.

Wonder when we find out one of them follows the discovery institute.

🎵the transgender hills are alive

User @jeffryder: Maybe don't die on transgender hills when we need to attract independents in order to actually take back the govt.

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

if you ever wonder why people, especially cis men, will just say their most unhinged thoughts to trans women it's because we are divine beings, heirs to tradition of temple priestesses, and they are confessing their sins

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
