"I am for the dignity and safety and equal rights of trans people everywhere. Fuck you. The end." "I do not believe you care about this issue. You are lying. In fact you're a straight up weirdo for fixating on kids' genitals so much. That is odd behavior. Let kids run around with their friends."

My FAQ, which includes questions like “am I transphobic?”, “am I in the Epstein files?”, and “do I have mold in my house?”, is prompting a lot of questions already answered by the FAQ.

created an infographic to explain why arguing the hypocrisy of fascist talking points only helps erode your point. don't fight bad faith with good faith. don't engage with their point. don't meet them where they are. they're killing people. eat their frame.

an image using sprites from Kirby's Adventure from the NES

two series of animations

1st series. Kirby standing still and then runs into a star and gets injured. it is captioned "negating a frame reinforces it"

2nd series: Kirby encounters a star, eats it, and then blasts it out as a fireball. it is captioned "eat their frame"

It’s all just a lie. I get so annoyed when I hear democrats say “well parents have real concerns…” no they don’t. Real concerns are addressed by knowledge and data. Prejudice is not. If knowledge doesn’t change their position, they’re just bigots.

If you look at the 2020s MAHA and RW wellness space, and ask "how much of this movement encourages me to eat a Cow Product?", it's a bit of a shock, to some people. Collagen, Bone Broths, low/no carb diets, all the red-faced HGH users, etc.

To you,”AI could wipe us all out in 10 years” is apocalyptic. To me, it means I have a decade to think about possibly writing a novel

I love this Ask @theflytrapmedia.com advice from @katelynburns.com so much but this line about coming out as trans sticks with me: 'Imagine you spent your entire life wearing thick gloves and after 20 years you’re finally allowed to take them off and start touching things with your own skin.'

"It doesn't matter what you think of Cofnas or his work" ought to be read in the same voice as the Wizard of Oz saying "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain". It's asking you to set your attention to the violent threat in the room aside and start navel gazing instead.

Still very happy with my design notes (and design itself of course!) for Gagneur, my latest type release. Would love for more people to read it – and maybe tell me what they think tinytype.co/news/2026/de...

Gagneur is the result of years of studiously not studying the French type canon, in an attempt to make a non-dogmatic new serif design that still feels historic and French.

One the reasons that the whole ‘national conservatism’ thing is total bullshit on it’s own terms is that ‘we’re a PEOPLE not just a ECONOMIC zone’ types never ever mention the foreign country literally sucking our land dry (the saudis are the ones who buy the alfalfa). It’s all bullshit!

The thing about this is - the fact that this is even a goal for them makes it clear that SM are flat out just in the business of trying to humiliate a social minority. They just hate trans people, there's not more to their campaign than animus.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

When we are told not to speak ill of the dead, it is the continuation of the whitewashing - turning the cruel into the eccentric or the avuncular - allowing their cruelty to go unspoken of for the purpose of “manners” that they didn’t demonstrate in their lives as they happily dehumanised

The idea that trans or nonbinary or third gender or queer people are somehow "hijacking" the "gay and lesbian movement" is shockingly ahistorical. The idea that sexual desire, gender, sex, the body, and identity are completely disconnected is a much more divisive and recent idea

While everyone's "all the love to trans folks" posts are nice and it is good to see support We have been getting them for a decade now. If you want to support trans folks, hire us. Support GFMs and asks for mutual aid. Put yourself between trans folks in public if you see harassment.
