Could this be because Trump and Hegseth deprofessionalised the Navy or is it because of trans people? Nah, must be transgenderism.

If we just stopped our demands like right before “right to exist”, we could’ve had a bipartisan agreement but noo, us far left trans extremists went too far, too fast and scared people by uh, [checks notes], breathing. We ruined gay marriage and abortions with our outrageous demand to exist. /S

Starmer more or less took an ice pick to Labour’s head and lobotomised the party. You’d need another purge to clean the party of the toxic sludge monsters this guy promoted. Only then maybe Labour might have a chance.

They just can’t square it with the idea that people like this place because it does less not more “social” media. But it’s not like investors ever understood the products they’re investing in.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I guess in his alternate reality, the “Judeo-Bolshevik” label didn’t exist and everyone was a closet Nazbol. Except that Strasserites (i.e. the ‘anti-capitalist’ Nazis) also got the bullet. It’s like Hitler really didn’t like anyone left of the far right or smth.

Ah yes, the “We are defenders of women’s rights which means women get no rights and trans women no longer get to exist” argument made by the next wave of Real™️ Feminists: conservative white cishet men. How much evil stupidity can our planet take before she ejects us all into space?

1. AOC scathingly rebuked anti-trans activist Riley Gaines Monday in the form of a single sentence. "Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster you wouldn’t have come in fifth." Its part of a new wave of Dems being fearless on trans rights. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I genuinely admire this. It feels liberating to move so lightweight and unencumbered. Then again, I’m the sort who carries a pocket black hole in her purse to store the ridiculous amount of stuff I haul around

As a trans woman, I always felt that there is no stronger yearning, no lust so powerful, no emotions as strong as those that a woman feels for another. Having to taint these pure feelings by a gender role I despised made me feel broken inside. This woman redeemed me and now I know I am a lesbian 💜

I had a wild week recently with another woman I met on Her. Our attraction burned as bright as a magnesium flame and just as strongly burnt us out into panic attacks and that was it. But thanks to her I got the courage to pursue sapphic literature, lesbian and queer bands and I feel so at home now

the year is 2030. a doctor solemnly informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people persuaded by celebrity marketing bought synthetic pubic hairs that were eventually consumed by fish that you ate
The Daily Beast writes: "Kim Kardashian's brand SKIMS has sold out its synthetic pubic hair thongs and is now accumulating a waitlist for the product." Their tweet is accompanied by a link to a post with the story.
