Antique and thrift stores aren't super my jam, but I mind them less than you think (I think my biggest issue is just general exhaustion/a lack of place to sit down). So if you wanna go without me, 100% can, but I might be down to go as well. <3

#Curseofstrahd battle with Baba Lysaga last night. We had SO many near-miss "fuck I'm dead" moments. In fact had I not rolled a nat 20, I woulda had a "I am not only DEAD-dead, but a zombie now" moment. Also, once again, the dragon was charmed and tried to eat Pinochle. AGAIN. AGGAAAIIINNN.

The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

Do you mean for president? If so then I think J.B. Pritzker is up there too (I'm also a fan of Pete Buttigeig, but I 100% understand some skepticism with him).

This I'm going to have to recommend as a trio since they are so closely connected. These stories feature Galaxy and Dreamer, two of DC's new trans fem characters written by trans fem authors to be read in the order shown here. They are fantastic, unique, and beautifully depicted additions for DC.
Cover to Galaxy: The Prettiest Star featuring Galaxy with long teal hair, red skin, pointed and connect halo horns wearing a trans pride shirt sitting with her adorable corgi.Cover to Bad Dream featuring Dreamer upside down, eyes closed, with stars and plants glowing around her head.Cover to Galaxy: As The World Falls Down showing Galaxy flying through the air in her superhero outfit of white and pink with flared skirt.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

This is what happens when you get loud and demand Dems not drop trans people. We CAN get orgs to realize this. But we can’t stop with Kaptur. She’s the worst but not the only one. There is NO acceptable anti-trans vote or statement or ad from a Democrat. None. GET LOUDER!

Siiigh...hopefully after the election something Trans related will trend for reasons that don't make me sigh, groan, angry and/or frustrated. In the meantime, keep reminding our Dem candidates to stand up for us and keep being our trans selves because there is no better way to tell them to f@#K off

Too often the people talking about fairness and safety are people who just hate trans people, or want to deny trans women exist, and are just using this talking point as a way to get people who wouldn't care about someone who's trans competing otherwise. Wish more politicians brought this up.

CuriousValkyrie @curiousvalkyrie.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
I'm all for "Fairness" and "Safety" being discussed when it comes to Trans Athletes, the problem is the discussion usually is only about what's fair and safe for the Cis Athletes. Trans Athletes need a place to compete too that's both fair and safe for them as well, and they get left out.

CuriousValkyrie @curiousvalkyrie.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
This is such a good take on Trans Athletes, both in how to fix this problem and the historical similarities. If there are physical traits that give edges or cause safety concerns, then divide up sports by that (like weight classes). www.youtube.com/shorts/8dijv...

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a man sitting at a restaurant table. He is sweating. He says "Y-you have beautiful eyes".
The second panel zooms in on the man's face. He says, "I'm sorry. I'm just so nervous."
In panel three we see that a biblically accurate angel is sitting on the other side of the table.
In panel four we zoom in on the angel's face, who says "BE NOT AFRAID".

Iowa Dem. Gov. candidate Rob Sand was confronted at a rally yesterday over anti-trans positions. A constituent asked if he would walk them back. He refused to, and in fact said he supported sports bans. Another constituent shouted "COWARD!" in the background. Subscribe to support our journalism.

If Talarico's campaign gets emails and calls from Texans talking about how Trans Rights are important to them, it will have it a lot harder for him to push these concerns away.

At least there are some people there who are having some decent things to say, and it's also nice that the AP has picked up what @erininthemorning.com was trying to warn about. Also, don't just post here about it, reach out to your candidates/reps and make your opinion known to THEM.

...this is like the third time "Debate of Dem's support on trans Americans" has popped up on Trending in the last few days, and I'm already so tired. It probably will pop up more in the weeks to come, but god some of the takes. A lot of strawman arguments on there, and it's so frustrating.

I'm quoting this, not to pick on Jay. They are spot on. More cis allies need to be asking this question. Because when trans people ask it, we're tsk tsk'd and chided for putting "purity tests" in front of progress.

I'm not going to get angry for anyone who considers the dangers of either. Try to remember they do care about doing the right thing even if you don't agree. And that sacrificing the rights and values we cherish may bring victory in the short run(debatable), but they will destroy us in the end.

The people who are saying vote blue no matter what know the cost of defeat, the very real danger it poses. The cost of winning is something less frequently considered. Because when you win, the consequences for HOW you won are usually less immediately obvious.

CuriousValkyrie @curiousvalkyrie.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
It's also frustrating because polls have consistently shown that independent voters are not becoming more anti-Trans, only republicans. I firmly believe that there is an argument to be made that this is a distraction from the issues they do care about, like cost of living.

CuriousValkyrie @curiousvalkyrie.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
There are a lot of groups/people in the democratic party who are more willing to compromise on certain things, in what they believe is a more middle of the road policies. These are the people who concluded that Kamala was too progressive, which is flat out not why she lost.

CuriousValkyrie @curiousvalkyrie.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
I obviously don't consider myself a single issue voter, and I am grateful I live in a place where I don't need to make that decision, but I do get it. I don't know if these anti-trans policies will become more mainstream if they win, but I do know that the groups she talks about will 100% use it.

CuriousValkyrie @curiousvalkyrie.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
She's also not saying boycott ALL Democrats who come out with anti Trans policies, just the most egregious ones (like Ohio Governor race, where the Republican might GENUINELY be better on Trans rights).

CuriousValkyrie @curiousvalkyrie.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
@erininthemorning.com is just doing her job. LGBTQ+ advocates NEED to push back hard right now, or else what rights and public acceptance we've received will disappear all the faster. She's not being unreasonable, especially when you consider that some people are single issue voters.

CuriousValkyrie @curiousvalkyrie.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Would I vote for a Dem candidate who was bad on Trans rights? Probably, but I would do everything I could to find a better alternative first (in many places there isn't). I also don't expect everyone to agree with me on this, and I think there are some bad takes on those people who disagree.

CuriousValkyrie @curiousvalkyrie.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
I'm hopeful that enough people will push back enough to minimize the damage, both in red and blue states. Right now there are an unfortunate number of Dems who are coming out with anti-Trans policies. Politics suck, and you are frequently stuck between two bad options.

CuriousValkyrie @curiousvalkyrie.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Civil Right Progress isn't a straight line, frequently it's about taking two steps forward, one step back. LGBTQ+ rights took a MASSIVE leap forward since the 90's, in large part because of a lot of hard work, but right now we're in the backlash. This has happened before in America.

As someone who is Trans and pretty politically involved (I do a decent amount of volunteering, and am a member of several Indivisible chapters)...some Trans discourse here over the last 24 hours here on Bluesky have been...rough. Not sure I should be weighing in but here we go. (deep breath)

There's a big difference between withholding your vote from certain Dems and advocating for not voting unless a candidate is perfect. And, let me also say: If you do decide to withhold a vote for a Dem, go out and vote. Leave that race blank, but vote otherwise.

...Fun fact, I'm pretty sure that specific map of New Mexico is from an elementary or middle school textbook. Should go without saying, but he can't change the name of a state, and the fact he thinks "New America" is a satisfactory state name is stupid. What an absolute disgrace, what a moron.

This is beyond stupid. The whole point is that you: Present: See this awful, selfish old man and dislike him. Past: Find out he wasn't always this way, and what lead him to this (where you MIGHT begin to sympathize a little). Future: You see the consequences of living such a selfish, mean life.

As someone who went to college in Iowa and stopped running competitive cross country there in large part because I was thinking about transitioning and was worried about being TOO FAST, this one hurts a lot. Still wonder what could have been tbh. Unfortunately not surprising, but still hurts.
