THINGS I CAN TELL ABOUT YOU BASED ON YOUR FAVORITE UMAMUSUME You signed up to read insightful applications of feminist theory qua transgender women and I'll get back to that but we are descending into horsegirl hell right now, hand in unlovable hand.

(if you do not have a favorite Umamusume you can just read the descriptions to discover which anime girl bearing the name, legacy, ears, and tail of a racehorse from another world will lodge herself in your heart like a splinter.)

im team "there wont be a csm p3 b/c the existence of a csm p3 counters the metanarrative theme of csm p2 also fujimoto kinda seems done with csm in general but if there Is a p3 it'll be about entirely and permanently finding a way to kill the concept of chainsaw man & make it unprofitable"

Senator Tuberville on x writing a response to the @endwokeness account Original tweet from @EndWokeness - “less than 25 years apart” Image 1 - the twin towers as they are hit by a the planes on 9/11/2001 Image 2 - Mayor Mamdani sitting on a prayer rug while hosting an Iftar at city hall Quote tweet from Senator Tuberville - “the enemy is inside the gates.”

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

We are missing this crucial infrastructure, and so all we're left with are media personalities and our enemies.

That is quite literally how she met Jill Biden; she placed herself in a way that led her right into the inner circle of the Bidens after a teacher called Jill Biden and asked what to do about a trans student. Jill called Mara cause "that's just who you call", and they hit it off.

Like; the implosion of NCTE after what happened with Mara Kiesling was catastrophic (I hold the position she definitely needed to resign, fwiw); but Mara Kiesling spent an ungodly amount of time becoming the person that, if something trans related happened, every reporter/politician called her.

A4TE. Large national organizations, state level chapter organizations/steering committees, and local orgs working together.

There's kinda a black hole there. But that's the case everywhere. The landscape has fundamentally changed after Citizen's United.

There is supposed to be an institution somewhere in there that is acting as the mouthpiece and news center for the community, but the structure of political fundraising has become so distorted, they don't really exist in the same way they used to.

Nine Inch Nails - As Alive As You Need Me To Be (Arca Remix) (Official Audio) YouTube video by NineInchNailsVEVO

anyways, the arca remix of as alive as you need me to be is a thing in the world that’s sort of just unqualified good. you should go listen to this.

the whole remixed tron score blows the original out of the water.

I mean, you know...

Those people and their inability to actually keep their respective fields are part of the reason we're in this mess.

Fucking nerds.

I am going to be able to say shit like "look at this sweet infinite I made with voir dires. My discovery engine is popping off. With this much, I just have to play 'bury them with exhibits'."

Indie deckbuilder All Will Rise's dev joins No Games For Genocide boycott and plans to hand back funding it received from Microsoft "We encourage others in the industry to join us and take a stand."

all will rise is handing back Microsoft money & pledging @nogamesforgenocide.com — it’s a difficult thing to do when funding and attention are scarce commodities for indies like us, but we hope more of our fellow devs and indie studios will join us in taking a stand 🔥

This has been on my radar for a while. Like literally made for me specifically lol.

So we’re all buying the hell out of this, right? It was already going to be a badass game anyway

For James Talarico, his stance on transgender rights flows from faith "When you grow up with that, you just kind of assume that that's normal."

New: I spoke to Rev. Babs Miller, a lesbian pastor at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, who has known James Talarico since he was "Jimmy." They told me about how Talarico's church formed his support for queer and trans people from a young age.

It has been obvious for a long time now but Gwen is one of the best journalists in Texas, period. End of story.

Also like nobody cares. Like straight up this is just a fake issue. Go to Amman and you'll find gay bars. Do people think there's no gay Arabs?

The only treatment with no side effects is a treatment with no effects.

The simple reality is that literally existing has side effects. Wearing a seatbelt incurs a risk of abdominal laceration, but no one's arguing that it's safer to not wear seatbelt. When the benefits outweigh the risks, it's a good thing. For HRT, the benefits vastly outweigh the risk of regret.

sara @sarasoci.al they/she transsexual: hey i'd like to take this harmless drug that makes life worth living america: fuck you *starts a world war*

This is so accurate

So, like…the government is obviously seeing this data too. And they’re STILL letting RFK take this stance on vaccines.

And state leaders aren’t really doing shit either.

Which can only mean…it’s on purpose, right?

I mean this chart is a pretty glaring dataset. What else could it be?

i need this on a crop top

Transgender athletes’ rights was opposed by those who viewed female athletes as undeserving, study finds A recent study found opposition to transgender athletes' inclusion in sports was more common among those with weaker interest in supporting, promoting, and watching female athletes.

Except that sports thing? It ain't good faith. I know what a "surprise", right?

“Fund the police” was Biden’s *applause* line in his first joint address to Congress. It was written to echo LBJ saying “we shall overcome” in his joint address as a lifeline to a movement under attack. I really don’t bring it up enough.

As someone whose hands had the "handwriting cursed to be shit forever" disease in school and needed to write on a laptop as a disability accommodation that was routinely neglected by schools because nobody fucking told me I had that right, I get pretty annoyed about the 'RETVRN to handwriting' push.

This issue of Ireland’s GCN covers the challenges around trans healthcare in Ireland & the current failures of the service. Transgress, a grassroots org, has managed to get the Minister & Deputy Minister of Health to commit to change. I know this is a vital area for Queer ppl moving here*
