Remember when they kicked an entire girl’s softball team out of the championship game because a player posted a private Snapchat where she was flipping off the camera? It’s funny how they never worry about ruining girl’s futures.

Republicans aren't just saying they will kill or institutionalize or forcibly detransition all trans people: they are actively and overtly *campaigning on promising it*. And every day, cis people are saying that trans folks are fearmongering, overreacting, or don't know what genocide is.

NOT TO BE CONTROVERSIAL, but are we boycotting the Patriots and all shows at Gillette Stadium as hard as we are boycotting Ed Sheeran??? Because Robert Kraft deserves the heat about 100x as much, even if Ed is being a little dick bitch for letting him dictate things.

Dear cis people, Please, for the love of G-d, stop using the terms "biological male" and "biological female." They're scientifically meaningless. Sex is a bimodal cluster categorization. The brain is biological, no? There is no one factor that's universally determinative of sex and gender.

I've been writing my book for several months now, paid for a more advanced model. Took a break. Came back.
Now Ms. GPT says she can't generate content in the style of specific authors. My prompts were soooo specific and I got exactly what I wanted out of them. For example,
'rewrite in the literary style of 'author here' with abundant dialogue and detail avoiding staccato prose. That was my go-to. Or 'please write and flesh out in the style of
'author' etc. they tightened the ropes. I have no idea how to get around this other than maybe feed it prose I already edited that's technically mine? Fuck.

We don't need a "Joe Rogan of the left." Rogan is a right winger, so saying we need a right wing cishet white dude of the left is absurd. There are too many of those already, from Bill Maher to Fetterman to Newsom to Carville. We need to actually GO LEFT. Appeal to marginalized people for a change.

Michelle Obama is an objectively beautiful cis woman. Yet she doesn't "pass" because she's Black. This is why transphobia and racism are two sides of the same white supremacist coin. What is a woman? To conservatives, a woman is a skinny white walking uterus.
