I was not expecting this to be the explanation for the security guard posted outside the all-gender bathroom, frankly

A paper sign taped to a white tile wall above a public toilet. It says in all-caps "Do not kick the toilet to flush." Beneath the text is an image of a black silhouette of a karate guy mid-kick with the red "No" symbol over it.

My dad who habitually tried to cause me distress on purpose gave me The Monkey's Paw to read in kindergarten. Missing the point as usual, I was mostly upset by the idea of somebody doing that to a monkey and carrying it around

So I was watching Jaws (1975) the other night and Cora hopped up on the TV stand LOL 🎥 🦈 💥

My cat's silhouette on the TV screen while Chief Brody from Jaws aims his rifle at the shark, but it looks like he's shooting Cora haha.

A bloody explosion of the shark but it looks like my cat Cora instead LOL. She's just perfect by the way.

...Assumption #4 has been driving me batshit, yet no one seems to realize it: if you're worried trans ppl might potentially harm your Dem candidate's chances, then YOUR CANDIDATE MADE A BAD DECISION! so why not join us in trying to get them to reverse position? juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...

screenshot from linked-to essay that reads:
Assumption #4: The elephant in the room that no one is talking about
There is a striking disconnect between Talarico, Turek, et al. — who have clearly made a political calculation that abandoning trans rights will help them more than it will hurt them in this election — and the many cisgender liberals I’ve encountered online who are absolutely freaking out over the possibility that trans people’s critiques and protests will ultimately tank said candidates.
Both of these things cannot simultaneously be true!
If you think your favorite candidate enacted the correct political strategy, then there is no reason to berate trans people for protesting it, as those protests should already be baked into your candidate’s calculations. So why are you berating trans people then? (Unless, of course, you enjoy berating trans people just for the sake of it.)
Alternatively, if you think trans people *are* capable of tanking your favorite candidate via our criticisms and protests, doesn’t that imply that your candidate (and their consultants and strategists) totally fucked up in their political calculations here? And if they did fuck up, shouldn’t you be reaching out and complaining to *them* (rather than berating trans people), in the hope that they might reverse their bad decision?

I don’t remember whose insight this is, but it blew my mind when I first read that to understand American history you have to get that race law was designed to increase the number of enslavable people (one-drop rule) and decrease the number of claimants to indigenous land (blood quantum)

Jamelle Bouie writes: yeah this is a separate conversation but one of the things that hasn’t quite bubbled up from scholarship into mainstream thinking is that american slavery was a system centered principally on reproduction. forced birth for capital accumulation is what it was
