I was under the impression it was a baby who tortures. Most babies specialise in sleep deprivation.

I think I was about 9 when a substitute teacher let us watch a movie, and when it turned out he’d accidentally taped over it decided to let it run anyway. He finally turned off Predator after the scene where they discover the bodies.

You see, conservatives are trying to divide us by demonising trans people, whereas liberals are trying to unite everyone *against* trans people. There’s a big difference.

The foot in the door
four frame comic. each frame has the text on top in white. first frame shows jk rowling. second frame shows trump and erdogan in suits doing thumbs up. third shows the istanbul landscape. fourth shows Talarico giving a speech in front of the podium. text reads:
"protecting the children"
has become the foot in the
door of fascism.
last weekend (sept. 12th-13th),
under the pretense of "protecting
the children," trump's turkish
bestie erdogan led a massive
anti-lgbtq crackdown.
in an extraordinary esca-
lation, legal proceedings were
announced against 160 people.
about 50 activists have been
arrested. associations and
homes have been ransacked
across the country.
so when we hear people who
are supposedly our allies use
the same language as erdogan,
we owe it to our turkish
siblings to call it out.

The three big paragraphs in your response are word for word identical with the one I received, so it’s just corporate copypasta.

Mr Spacebeast is an eldritch abomination whose immense popularity with children is often attributed to something nefarious, but is in fact because they like his impossibly wide smile.

Anti-trans sentiment is growing because every day Republicans drag the Overton Window to the right, and Democrats trample us in their scramble to boldly stand slightly to the left of its new centre.

It doesn’t even have to be *the* main character, or central to the plot. The mentor referring to his late husband, or the sidekick clearly wearing a Pride pin. Something that says “We could have cut this, but we didn’t, because LGBTQ+ people exist in our stories, just like they do in society.”

I’ll believe the Mouse actually wants to stand up to these goons when we get a canonically queer or trans main character in an animated feature.

Outdoor venues are always a “fun” challenge. My favourite was the time police showed up to investigate because someone overheard Act 3, Scene 2 of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and reported a “domestic argument,” apparently not noticing everyone was arguing in iambic pentameter.

I miss Tech week. We went directly from pandemic to IVF to pregnancy to parenting and now it’s been almost seven years since I’ve run a show. Still have a garage full of lighting and sound equipment which I’m hoping to get out of mothballs once my daughter starts school.

Also, in the current environment, “sex assigned at birth” is the language of bathroom bans, sports bans, invalidated ID documents, v-coding, and countless other harms and humiliations.

They could have left the sex question as-is, then asked if that’s different to your assigned sex at birth, but apparently that was too complicated for cis people. So instead they replaced the mandatory question, the one that everyone will use for analysis, with one which incorrectly assigns us

Census forms asking my assigned sex at birth instead of my current legal sex. Do I commit a crime, or do I have my data incorrectly classified as a man?

1. Amnesty International has withstood threats from death squads and dictators. But it could not stand up to JK Rowling and the anti-trans movement she finances. It has apologized for calling those groups "anti-rights" after legal threats. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Steve Buscemi: How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?
Alt: The “How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?” meme. A clearly older man (Steve Buscemi) attempts to pass himself off as a teenager, with a backwards baseball cap, a red hoodie over a grey t-shirt emblazoned with a logo for “Music Band”, and carrying a skateboard. The text reads “How do you you do, fellow kids?”

These hate mongers are killing our kids, there was ample warning that this would be the result, and we need to be louder and angrier and more publicly heartbroken about it.

My biggest problem right now is that every politician thinks it's politically expedient to throw trans folks under the bus, when in actual fact it's a huge win for both human rights and the voters you want to convince you're going to represent them kindly Could be a lesson to learn there, Doc!

“Men like Lindsey Graham have taught me how to hate, and I’m worried it can’t be unlearned.” I feel this so much. I don’t like hating the people who want us dead, but I don’t feel like there’s any alternative.

@australianlabor.bsky.social we need you to maintain the fight against conservative bigotry imported from the US and UK. Without strong allies in Parliament, Australia could become just another pawl on the right-wing ratchet trying to exterminate trans people globally.

So when will Swimming Australia debunk the disinformation behind their eligibility rules? Or is that protecting cis athletes from accusations of transphobia is more important than protecting trans athletes from actual transphobia?

Please ignore the carefully crafted implementation of wormholes, FTL and reactionless drives in my notes folder, complete with a timeline of development. Or the framework for trading sleep via the gig economy. Or the lore of vampirism as a stigmatised disability. Or the fae adoption contract.

“Meet me in the middle,” says the unjust man. You step forward, he steps back. “Meet me in the middle,” says the unjust man. Bigots are dead set on eradicating us, by laws, by social pressure, and if necessary by force. And when they succeed they’ll move onto a group you might actually care about.
