Cate (Your Wife)

She studies mathematical physics by knocking the book off the shelf and verifying the differential equations fit the data.

And whenever I state how it feels, they protest with reference to the times they called their senators (at my prompting) or use the right pronouns for other trans/nb people (after multiple corrections from me).

Just ugh to all of it.

It’s been ten years of a slow moving genocide against trans people and my would be cis friends (and their friends) haven’t managed to do any of the *reading*—much less anything that is even remotely close to what we need now.

A tiny black cat on top of a 7ft tall bookshelf looking down at the camera. She is sitting next to hardcover copies of Penrose’s “Road to Reality” and Hayashi’s “Econometrics”

She swears she’s not causing trouble she just wants to study mathematical physics and/or econometrics.

I am just so sick of empty words and ‘support’ couched in terms that make it clear we are still seen as frivolous or unreal. I don’t need friends who think I should be grateful for a pat on the head of ‘validation’.

Made the mistake of logging in to my FB account to find cis allies
(1) posting empty ‘we love you’/‘you are valid’ statements without a hint of material thinking
(2) dunk posts comparing maga statements about transition care to photos of mar-a-lago face
(3) ‘biological sex’ used just like bigots do

this is what's so insulting about the obama bros or yglesias or grim claiming that this is just normal working class rough guy culture, it's not! i've had more wage jobs than all these dudes combined and have more tattoos than all of them combined, and i've only *ever* seen this on out-and-out nazis

There's so much to dislike about the divine feminine clean girl bullshit, but one of the reasons is that they have sucked the joy out of makeup. Everything is "neutrals" and "no makeup makeup." Shut the fuck up, I want my makeup to qualify as OSHA-accepted high viz safety wear. GIVE ME COLOR.

Live at Bridge City Sessions, by Kallai 4 track album

So for Bandcamp Friday we have a live EP that we recorded at Bridge City Sessions after the run of shows we did following our album release.

This is exactly right.

Age verification / online ID check legislation literally forces companies to collect MORE data on children (and everyone else) not less.

We desperately need privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice legislation.

Not censorship bills like KOSA and expanded surveillance.

All because they want to wipe out trans adults but can't without a moral panic. "They take your kid, they change your kid" is the oldest conspiracy theory in the world. Can't have a dictatorship without a genocidal foundation.

Bitesize From 1997-2009, the San Francisco Bay Area’s Bitesize brought a little bit of sickness to indie-pop, filling their otherwise perfect two-minute long pop gems with awkward stops and starts, weird bursts of guitar noise, quirky vocals, and lots of jumping up and down. The band released two critically acclaimed CDs (The Best of Bitesize & Sophomore Slump) and received college radio airplay nationwide

hey, it's Bandcamp Friday! which means that if you buy artists' music today, we get all the proceeds w/o them taking a cut. here is my previous band Bitesize. if you like what you hear, you can buy our entire discography (36 songs) for a mere $10.40, pls give it a listen! bitesize.bandcamp.com

Joe Rogan calls trans people "f**king perverts" & blames them for school shootings - LGBTQ Nation He's the world's most popular podcaster.

Remember how Joe Rogan was "just asking questions" about trans women and sports and didn't have a problem with trans people otherwise?

He's now a full on anti-trans genocidal fascist.

There is a reason you hold the line at sports.

Trash Panda Go Kart power twee lesbian raccoon rock from Zinnia & Selena on the Island of Misfit Toys the moon is our bass player, raccoons are the only gods you need "herstory in the making" "chaotic cartooniness turned up to 11" "heavy yet whimsical"

hi hi it's the day of the living #bandcamp again! buy snacks for some hungry rock&roll raccoons... 🤘😻🌈

We also have a new (version of an old) shirt.

It’s apropos that they are putting anti-trans provisions in a bill that exists to disenfranchise women as a whole.

Our fight is one fight & they are making it crystal clear here.

It also presents the hallmark supremacist trade: “we’re going to oppress you, but we’ll let you oppress others too”

The people who mocked you as a child for thinking your stuffed animals had personalities are trying to convince us that the computer they use for therapy and revenge porn has anxiety now.

Albini Sessions (Benefit for Letters Charity), by Fugazi 12 track album

Alan Cumming, Bowen Yang Help Launch Necessary Foundation to Support LGBTQ Filmmakers "There is, in this moment, enormous political pressure to delete queer people from American media, and that includes young filmmakers who are being shut out of the industry,” said executive director A...

It’s bandcamp Friday! Casual reminder that my band has two rock operas and multiple singles on here that you can buy all at once for way less than it’d be individually and it’ll hep me do things like eat

Live at Bridge City Sessions, by Kallai 4 track album

So for Bandcamp Friday we have a live EP that we recorded at Bridge City Sessions after the run of shows we did following our album release.

Alien Earth, the story of a girl who undergoes a transition to save her life and as a result becomes both more powerful than anyone imagined and immediately dehumanized, and so she rejects her humanity and finds home amongst the monsters.

I dunno, if you're a tgirl maybe check it out if you haven't

Whedon explicitly created the show after reading a book about Confederate veterans. Like he talked about it in *multiple* interviews at the time.

it’s grim out there, friends

hire more trans creatives! we’re out here and ready to go

and it makes a real difference in the cultural acceptance of trans people!

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."

specific guys aside—it is politically and morally bankrupt to be told we must seriously consider how many is too many pieces of nazi flair

Spotify starves artists to pay this fuckin clown millions. It can feel daunting to leave if you've lived in it for years, but streaming music is a utility now, it's easier than you think to swap providers (and bring your playlists/library with you). Here's a good guide from @bcmerchant.bsky.social:

The idea that he’s just some dumb curious regular guy well into his 50s was always a very convenient act to avoid any criticism.

i have my criticisms but critical support to aoc at this time we truly do not need to be giving IDs to discord so they can sell that shit off to palantir
