Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again. 85389073828

Reposted by CordycephHank Green @hankgreen.bsky.social · 07/04/2025A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero. 10706252612918

Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 31/03/2025I love being me. And my life became so much easier, in some ways, when I gave myself space to question my identity and accepted the outcome. It’s OTHERS that have made my life harder. Actions and attitudes. And the backlash keeps ramping up. We need you. Stay here. (5/5) 000
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 31/03/2025- Check in on your trans friends, I guess. Or buy them food. Ice cream. Action is priority 1, but some warmth and compassion would also be nice. Empathy is not a weakness. (4/x) 100
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 31/03/2025- Stay politically active: protest. Call your reps. Argue with your friends/family who have harmful beliefs. We need people who can make new allies in circles where we aren’t safe or welcome. We are TIRED. And we’re all fighting our own battles, but we badly need support. (3/x) 000
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 31/03/2025Some things you can do: - Educate yourself: do some research, and if you have questions after, ask someone who has *agreed to be a resource*. (I agree to be a resource, but keep the right to decline to answer) (2/x) 100
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 31/03/2025Visibility brings increased hostility. We’re walking around with targets on our backs. I LOVE being me - and if you care about me, or other trans people in your life, find ways to support them. Please. 🏳️⚧️ 210

Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 19/03/2025It’s a problem that the Trump administration is ignoring judge orders. That’s all. 010
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 18/03/2025I didn’t make this overt connection before, but this is exactly what @gingerhaze.bsky.social was getting at in Nimona, wasn’t it? 000
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 14/03/2025We’ve seen this over and over and will continue to do so. Lawmakers going so far to purge perceived “evil” that everyone suffers. Trans people have known this all along: gender diversity and freedom benefits everyone. Now we’re seeing the extreme version of what happens without those freedoms. 100
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Hey, at least this was an improvement from the original bill, right?! That one would’ve let teachers do the exams! 100

Without consent of parents. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/gop-...lgbtqnation.comGOP lawmakers pass bill allowing child genital exams without parental consent - LGBTQ NationAnd that was actually an improvement over a previous version of the bill. 100
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Not only is he brave for publicly changing his mind, but so are all the people that gave the testimony that changed his mind! So glad he was willing to listen and empathize with his neighbors 050
Reposted by CordycephPopehat @kenwhite.bsky.social · 11/03/2025This is a grave and sobering admission: they are not pursuing the “WELL ACTUALLY he broke the law during protests,” they are bragging that they are deporting people for protected speech. 9543541785
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 12/03/2025They say people tend to change only when the pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of changing. It’s something I’d like to get ahead of, in life. And it sounds like you did too. We have to actively shape our lives to make them what we want. 000
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 03/03/2025It’s anti-accelerationism. It’s pretending to punch you and training you to not flinch. One day it’ll just be a punch though. 100
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Ahh. Now I have a word for what I’ve been thinking about. I’m worried all Trump’s “take-backsies” (e.g. delaying tariffs, unfreezing federal funding at least on paper, rehiring workers) will prevent the people who most need a wake-up call from getting it. It’s a game of peekaboo. 110
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 28/02/2025I see you. It’s not fair how much is being asked of us just to keep going right now. Sending you as much strength as I can ❤️ 010
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 28/02/2025So we’re all gonna write elaborate fake submissions to throw them off, right? Maybe this is a good time to introduce the fash to Sugondese, the little cousin of Ligma 120
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Things aren’t easy for anyone right now. Been feeling that personally, too. I feel more isolated from friends, and everyone’s busy. Really need a hug tbh 220
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 25/02/2025I’ll have my fingers crossed for your safety, these are scary times. Please take care out there 000
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Kind of wondering if you’re the same person tbh, seen the two of you interact on other platforms. Whatever. This isn’t the fight either of us need to fight. And I don’t think either of us know what’s on the other side. Good luck 000
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 21/02/2025I know it’s Disney+, but y’all should REALLY watch Andor. (There’s probably multiple ways) It is critical art amidst all of this 011
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Ah, I see what you’re saying. They passed the buck down the line, they did. And they’re counting on everyone they pass it to being desperate 010
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 21/02/2025I’ll say it over and over: Don’t. Comply. In. Advance. You’re right. People are all too eager to carry out orders they “disagree with” 010
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 21/02/2025I’ve read stories of bosses in tears firing their workers, and the JFK Library near me shut down mid-day this week. That fast. But the question it raises for me is: who made you? Who stood there and made them close the library? What did they say to these bosses? Or are we just obeying blindly? 210
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 18/02/2025There’s a job opportunity at the Harvard Museum of Natural History for an HR assistant. It’s a union job and the pay grade starts at $55k.

Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Aside from the fact that this is just a generous donation to a mega-crony, the damn things don’t even work. I’m being told to save every penny, and why? Just so it can be thrown away? 000
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Feel free to check my work. The Pew says the IRS expects 168 million individual tax returns this year, with 2/3 of those having taxable income. 168 x 0.66 = 112, 400/112 = 3.57 www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...pewresearch.orgWho pays, and doesn't pay, federal income taxes in the U.S.?Since 2000, there has been a downward trend in average effective tax rates for all but the richest taxpayers. 000
Cordyceph @cordyceph.bsky.social · 13/02/2025When I see a frivolous or outrageous use of federal funds going forward, I’m going to divide the $ spent by the # of taxpayers. So if you’re wondering, that $400 mil gov’t purchase of cyber trucks costs the average taxpayer $3.57. Stop blaming us for wanting a hot drink once a week. 210
