Bluesky moderation suspending trans people for wishing ill on the members of a hate group who are actively working to eradicate us shows us what a morally bankrupt crock of shit civility is and how it only serves to punish victims and protect victimizers. Bluesky should be ashamed of themselves.

There's a really persistent strain of thought that holds that men are ontologically evil and dangerous (whether it glorifies that danger, or deplores it) and it is fundamentally reactionary. It's the logic of the TERF and the manosphere grifter, and it is antithetical toward the idea of change

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. 
We're on a space station, number 9 I think. 
We're on the promenade and Dr Bashir is sitting and having a coffee chat with Chief Miles Edward O'Brien, who can perfectly fold a fitted sheet with one hand. O'Brien, who can beat you at tic tac toe in 2 moves, looks rather grumpy while taking a big swig of coffee from his future space coffee mug. Closed caption reads, "That's your fifth cup of coffee in 20 minutes."

A Stripe rep hung up on me when they realized they told me they're disallowing "LGBTQ content" in transactions, so either they're slipping up more or just being more honest about their real intentions. Keep the pressure up, keep calling, maybe start recording what they're telling you.

Fictional kinks can't hurt me but a fascist regime very much can and will. If you genuinely think fictional content (yes, even the "too gross" ones) is WORSE than fascism, reprioritize your life. I can curate what fictional content I engage with. I can't content warning my way out of fascism lmfao

Star Trek The Original Series scene. 
We're on the bridge of the original Enterprise, no bloody A, B, C, or D, and see Captain Kirk and Spock, famous workplace associates. Spock is bending over and slightly turning to look at Kirk, who is standing upright and looking up at something. For the record , they are both in uniform. Closed caption reads, "YOUR PROBES HAVE TOUCHED ME, MR. SPOCK."

Narcan aint just for addicts.

It's for friends whose drink got spiked.
Your toddle who picked up the wrong thing at the park.
Your teen experimenting.
Your spouse in a dark place.
Your grandparent who forgot they already took their meds.

Not everyone who needs Narcan is an addict.
And even if they are-so what?

Narcan and insulin both save lives.
Both should be free.

Stop the fake debates. Save lives.
