“I don’t have a problem with trans people, I just don’t think they should be able to use public bathrooms or play sports or get healthcare—“ ok so that’s segregation. you are functionally a segregationist. and you want me to believe that fights fascism somehow. ok.

It takes a toll.
4 frame comics. first frame shows espresso in a portafilter. second shows a coconut milk carton and a cup to foam milk with a thermometer. 4rd frame shows a small espresso machine making espresso. 4th frame shows a foamy cappuccino in a promotional Frozen the Musical coffee cup. The text, spread over the four frames, reads :
I wish that I could give cis
people a glimpse of what it
feels like. 
to be villainized and
dehumanized in the media
every day.
to see your existence
being legislated against all
around the planet.
to see friends and
family members vote for
politicians who promise to
make the lives of people
like you worse.

The UK is a hostile fascist state genociding trans people. It should become a pariah state that other countries refuse to compete against and review trade relations with until they follow their legal requirements for human rights outlined in the Brexit withdrawal agreement.

1/🧵 No, you don’t debate the position that transphobic politicians should be punished electorally. That’s a huge concession. You demand they should be punished in the retributive justice sense.

CW: child abuse, bullying, coping mechanism bsky.app/profile/bibl...
A 2-panels page from the slice of life comics "Of Moths and Mina" by BibleAccurateMoth, hosted on Webtoon and Tapas. Heading reads, "When your transgender friend decides to share a funny story from their childhood". The top panel shows a POV of a person eating something from a steaming bowl with a chopstick. From across the table, Mina starts narrating while sticking a fork in a pie at a food court or a canteen, "So after they ran out of rocks to throw, one of them pulled a lighter— that's when I knew I had to figure something out, It was a real pickle. By that point I managed to use one of the glass shards from earlier to cut the rope…" The bottom panel switches to Mina's POV where she's holding a fork while MIW stares eyes wide open astounded while holding chopsticks over a bowl of ramen as she thinks, "I am going to burn this woman's hometown to the ground" as Mina continues to narrates, "You need to understand, back in third grade I hadn't figured out that you're supposed to leave the knife in, yet. So I ended up ruining my Pokeball lunchbox but anyway—"

Dear Democrats, You will never be able to triangulate your way through racism/sexism/transphobia, because pushing a lighter, politer form of bigotry is always a lose-lose proposition. The bigots want the uncut stuff, while normal people aren't drawn to cowards who sell out. Stand your ground.

Generative AI psychosis and delusion is a real thing, as is the degradation of analytical skills. This increasingly makes conversations difficult with those who have "converted" to using it. Along with the clickbait-ification of everything and the adoption of predatory logarithms. Stay vigilant.

A dark day for human rights.
four frame comic. first frame shows the logo of amnesty international. second frame shows jk rowling, smiling in the dark. third frame shows an empty classroom, with a pride poster almost falling from the wall. fourth frame shows a trans flag flying in the wind. text above all the images reads : 
on july 8th, amnesty Inter-
national uk published a report
titled “A Growing Threat: The
Anti-Rights Movement in the UK.”
it listed 117 orgs, including anti-
trans and anti-queer ones
backed by jk rowling.
the backlash was immediate
and brutal : rowling pledged
to cover the fees of anyone
who wished to sue amnesty.
the report was taken down
within 48 hours.
this morning (july 31st), amnesty
fully capitulated and released
an apology to anti-trans orgs,
which, it said, should not have
been "collectively labelled as
anti-rights". rowling
celebrated.
an organisation that
bravely faced fascist regimes
and reported human rights
violations for 65 years has caved
to rowling's power and bigotry.
it's a dark day for human rights.
