Having a "Johnny Pop" because I am unwell. It's actually really good, how about that.

The Heritage Foundation laid out how they were going to rescind Title IX, the law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, by first targeting trans people's participation in sport. Capitulating on the human rights of transgender people is catastrophically falling at the first hurdle.

a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

seeing a lot of discussion about this and like: the reason the poster did a screenshot with no link is that if you actually search for the article you'd learn that this bill 1) has nothing to do with Zohran Mamdani 2) was introduced in committee back in May and didn't go anywhere

Graphic novels are time consuming because a human being is making it, by hand. That's an inherent part of what makes it art and worthwhile. Yes, they're slower to produce than other art forms. Because again, human. I find it insulting af to suggest that's a problem that needs to be solved.

Using the word "woke" as if it means what reactionaries mean by it is letting yourself be interpellated into a reactionary and crypto-racist frame, and we shouldn't. You can't say "politically correct" without putting reactionary trash in your mouth and brain; this version of "woke" is the same.

Transphobia is an interesting case bc gender difference is such an ingrained aspect of our society and also if you give it ANY THOUGHT WHATSOEVER you realize that enforcing a gender binary on any population in any public forum is a fascist nightmare.
