I was told the issue with trans liberation is that we scolds who shamed everyone. I disageee with @erininthemorning.com . I think for multiple reasons you should vote for the current anti-trans Dems. And I can say that with my chest without being a whiny bitch like @whstancil.bsky.social

There is a lot of discourse around Jason in GTA VI being boring but like I think it’s from folks who want the sarcastic misanthrope sort of GTA protagonist. And I’m very happy to play the fantasy of Lucia and her hot, quiet boyfriend who can definitely fix a dryer.

Too hung over for JK Rowling to make a good and valid point today

Honestly I found most comparisons of trans bans to racial segregation in sports to be a bit of a stretch. But with the WNBA shit it’s amazing to see in the absence of any actual trans women, the right clutching their pearls about protecting white women from scary Black players

Nolan wasn’t playing. Sinon is compared to other men and both times the main takeaway is: That’s a real man. It’s Nolan, so it’s blunt and kinda stupid, but after everything we’ve faced thank you for making a movie where the first thing millions of people saw was a trans man. That means soemthing

I feel like the worst part of the two mom thing is being in public and going “hey we’re going to the library to pick up a book for mama” and me getting self conscious that everyone around me thinks I’m speaking in third person

I feel like we should respect Mitch McConnell’s final wishes of going out with absolutely no dignity and making a mockery of our democracy

Becky Pepper-Jackson, one of the defendants in today's case whose obvious male biological advantage made her a danger from playing with other girls. (Male Biological advantage not pictured)

When I was eight, I dreamed that I’d die, be reincarnated as a girl, but retain my memories of myself because that was the only way I could imagine living as a girl. Just saying that I feel like knowing trans people exist would have probably been more helpful than fantasizing about my own death.

Jack Skellington is popular because men relate to the story of a well meaning guy who gets way into a hobby, and a lot of women want to bang a goth who is simultaneously tall and a twink.

What’s weird is Trump’s whole thing is that he’s an “Everyman.” But he writes tweets like condescending emails and sends calendar invites for stressful all hands meetings. He runs the county not like a CEO but a shitty middle manager.

I believe that both the too online dork who couldn’t be normal about having a trans girlfriend and the right wing bigot who decided to shoot up a bunch of people peacefully praying both shouldn’t have had guns. There is the bipartisanship!

@jamesgunn.bsky.social Genuine question, did the America Ferrera monologue from Barbie influence Superman's "Human" speech. The cadence of it feels very similar to me despite obvious differences.

Me before GTA VI Trailer: okay well I’m excited to finally play as a character I relate to and then tolerate playing as the boring dude Me after GTA VI Trailer: I’m excited to finally play as a female character and then switch over to Jason and grab my vibrator

This Vox Article is bullshit. www.vox.com/scotus/41168... No, no elected official should be removed or blocked from voting for just being transphobic. That is unconstitutional. However the article is skirting around the issue being endangering a student. That’s the issue!

An anti-trans lawmaker brings a Supreme Court case that she absolutely must win
To defend democracy, the courts must rule in favor of a lawmaker who bullied a high school student.

Good news everyone: every hot take on how Judge Dugan was right to be arrested is going to be an easy sorting of who to never listen to again and who has the moral backbone of a jellyfish

Bill Maher claims to be anti cancel culture. He is friends with Kid Rock who cancelled bud light for giving a gift to an adult trans woman in order to widen their markets. He did this by violently shooting beer cans. The woman in question was harassed and threatened. Maher has no moral backbone.

Just a friendly reminder that Zelensky literally did the Ukrainian voice dub of the mayor from the Horton Hears a Who movie just so we can be a bit more on the nose of who the bad guys are and what the right thing to do is.

“Elon Musk is a successful businessman who made some key and wise investments.” There, for moderates complaining when people on the Left roll their eyes at calling Musk a “genius who happens to be evil.” You just don’t have to call him a genius. You can just plainly state his accomplishments.

@themountaingoats.bsky.social hey! I represent the PBO Pride committee in Pittsboro. We know that you’ve been an amazing ally and part of Chatham County’s culture. I’d love if you could be somehow involved for our third annual pride event in June.

Fun fact: The novel Guns of the South is about about white supremacist Afrikaners traveling in time to help the confederacy win the Civil War. The book was inspired by the fact that a psychotic Nazi Afrikaner trying to destroy American democracy used to be an idea so insane that it required magic.

@jamieloftus.bsky.social I adore and love all the work you have done, but will forever hold it against you that you didn’t magically know that Mebane, NC is pronounced Meb-in. Sry.

The media thrives on dichotomies. It’s why the Republicans are good with the economy but Democrats are good at social programs narrative has survived. We’re getting a story of Trump is very effective, but bending the law. And nah. He’s ineffective, evil, and bending the law.

Just a friendly reminder that JK Rowling once retweeted Libs of Tik Tok on how “crazy” it was to call Ye a white supremacist. Really a hat trick of shitty people

I’m taking a Lyft back to my small town. There really needs to be a special push notification for occurrences like this where everyone living within thirty miles of me gets a message, “Holy shit! There’s a Lyft nearby!”

I am totally okay with some trans people not liking Emilia Perez, but really don't love the conflation that everyone doesn't like it. I enjoyed it enough even if I don't think it's my go to for Best Picture.

@erininthemorning.com Should cover this story if she's not already. www.aclu.org/press-releas... Stumbled on this press release, and shit is genuinely horrifying. Most hyperbolic fears of how we can be treated as reality.

In the fallout of 2024, newsletter Slow Boring offered Democrats need to embrace the reality of sex. While I agree that sex is real, have transgender advocates actually been denying sex? In a four part piece, I explore this question. mostboringtranswoman.substack.com/p/lets-talk-... #transgender
