It’s National Coming Out Day so lemme reshare and reiterate that I am Bea. I am a trans woman. And every day since telling you all has felt more real than the last. Into the wild pink yonder~

After years of championing "free speech," Texas lawmakers have enabled a dramatic rise of censorship in Texas universities, banning concepts, canceling courses and closing departments seen as "woke," and even using AI bots as censors. All in the name of freedom. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

In other professors’ syllabi, the bot flagged the Pulitzer Prize–winning play Angels in America by Tony Kushner, essays by the Mexican American MacArthur genius grant recipient Sandra Cisneros, and materials related to a class about the Holocaust (that professor was told to drop material regarding Nazi persecution of LGBTQ people).

Putting aside the ideological slant of the new rules, the bot, like many large language models, seems to “hallucinate,” or make mistakes. The AAUP lawsuit lists texts banned for their “sex-based ecofeminist framework” and “gendered ecofeminist frameworks.” These phrases might sound persuasively like academese, but the academics behind the lawsuit had never heard of them; these concepts “do not exist,” the complaint says. Matthew Pehl, a history professor at Tech, told me that he knew several people who’d received reports from the system that were “plainly written by an AI that had hallucinated content or confused content from one class to another.”

Can we be honest that so called 'wokeness' meant Black people demanding full social personhood and refusing to be silent about getting murdered/harmed by the state? So yes, that is more threatening to many in this country than is fascism. I think that's been clear.

Oh, there is no "both sides" at the BBC. The only side that gets airtime is excessively anti-trans. Also, as a result, it becomes astoundingly anti-feminist too.

Man, I miss when I only knew the BBC for Doctor Who and other fun shows. I kind of hate that their whole deal now is "active erasure and genocide against trans people"

Saying these affirmations every day makes you stronger. Believing them makes you smarter.

The image displays text reading: "Warrior Affirmations. My dentist has no power over me. I will not submit. I will not comply. I will not get an erection when she presses her cold, tiny mirror against my tongue." The background is blurred, possibly depicting a dental clinic setting.

Rewatching Daria for the first time since 2010. Working theory: Daria is clearly autistic, but im pretty sure Jake is where she got it from. Comes off as "cluelessness," but the rapid fire cue-missing is a huge tell, to me.

@paulhoard.bsky.social and I just found out that our publisher has sold out of our book (Eucontamination) at their booth at Theology Beer Camp, and are now directing people to buy copies from the Camp book store. So that's really cool and encouraging!

The left isn’t weak because of infighting. The left is weak because every facet of our society and economy is geared to the benefit of fascism and white supremacy and it is the challenge of multiple lifetimes to dismantle all of that.

I’ve seen Black people across social media platforms talking about picnics at lynchings and so many white people are in our mentions insisting that the last public execution was 1936 and that lynchings were “mob murder” not state sanctioned. So confidently loud and incredibly wrong.

These are all products of the Cult of Normalcy. If you can "blend in," people can ignore you and the wheels of capital can continue undisturbed. The moment there is any kind of friction, stigma arrives. Disabled folks, trans folks, etc, all of them arrest the flow of capital.

I don't think it's a coincidence that so much discourse around marginalized people tends to revolve around how some of them CAN conform. They focus on ace people who like to have sex, autistics who are "high functioning," lesbians who have sex with men, non dysphoric trans people. This is presented

The thing that frustrates me most about this "third gender" stuff is that it's living proof of how transmisogyny is deeply baked into patriarchal cultures, and how the societal refusal to recognize trans womanhood is millennia old, but it's been turned into Noble Gender Savage fanfic by dipshits.

I know Pink News is garbage these days, but I really think they just have completely farmed out their writing to AI. No human would ever conceive of this combo of words, nor think to make a full headline graphic

It’s notable how many anti-trans activists who claim their actions are motivated by a desire to “protect women,” are currently attacking Jane Doe and defending the men who she says assaulted her. It’s almost like “protecting women” never had anything to do with it.

Worker rights should be for protecting people from being exploited by someone who has power over them, not for protecting powerful people from losing access to the means by which they can exploit others.
