Just reposted this thread but to expand:

I think people confuse social capital with actual... capital.

Like a lot of people get VERY angry that so many trans women have large followings here and on other sites but:

1) They are not the largest accounts.

2) They are still mostly poor as fuck.

Panel 1: Shen is standing in a complicated machine, having seemingly just appeared inside it with sparks of green electricity. His clothes billow as he yells "AAA!! WHERE AM I??"

Panel 2: A serious looking, realistically drawn scientist begins to, with furrowed brow and intense shading, seriously explain: "It is the year 2155. We brought someone from the past who has an attention span of more than 6 seconds to"

Panel 3: The scientist is suddenly very simply/cutely drawn, now having raised his phone to his face and happily looking at it.

Panel 4: Shen raises his hands in a confused gesture and frustratedly says "YOU GUYS BUILT A TIME MACHINE IN 6 SECOND INTERVALS??"

The reason the far-Right wants to paint first amendment activity as "terrorism" is because they don't want working-class communities to organize against miserable conditions.

Cw: transphobia
I've had friends banned for being "too rude" about literal fascists who aren't even on here, and one of my artist friends just got banned out of nowhere despite being tame.
And yet the staff on here are apparently just fine with this level of transphobia on their platform. Great πŸ™„

The Left has to fundamentally explain to millions of people that the rank-n-file of the Republican party is being systematically staffed by literal neo-Nazis.

The Democrats are not "the left" they are juat to the left of the far right. The Dems lost on trans rights because they didn't actually stand for them.

Just remember, when It Finally Happens, Donald Trump won't be able to hear your wild celebration but all his lickspittles and failsons will.

Yes, I do believe that if the Vikings had the technology to build the electric guitar, then they would have discovered heavy metal and easily conquered the planet.

I'm not sure why this is considered "controversial".

Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

If I have closeted trans people following me (and I know I do) please do not let this line of thinking stop you from transitioning and living as yourself. Your life does not end if you don't transition at 18, or 20, or 30, or 50. I promise.

This rhetoric is for policy, not for individuals.

Oh, they'll make sure to only grab register Dems, at first lol. Honestly, I could see them do it in November, at polling places, just start conscripting there.

I'm mostly being facetious, but with how incompetent this admin is, and them not planning more than one step ahead.

I've lost so much faith in our Legislative and Judicial branches, that I could see Trump issuing an XO "ordering the draft" and literally neither of those branches will do a damn thing to counter it. And they will start grabbing "volunteers" off the street.

A four panel comic.
Panel 1: Cal the horse is on a fancy date with an attractive feline who is staring at his crotch. He asks "I'm sorry- is there something on my lap?" and she says "yeah, me if the rumors are true."
Panel 2: He's at work and a yeen pats him on the shoulder- Cal is wearing a labcoat and the yeen work clothes "OK buddy dress up time's over lets move this delivery to the lab." cal looks confused "I'm a head researcher." 
Panel 3: At a game shop cal is carrying an armful of boxes of CARD COMBAT. A dr who fan in all the gear says "Are you lost? This is a games meetup not a sports night." cal says "Yeah uh.. Im the game master?"
And finally- cal is at home. Kiira is laying on his lap as a game is laid out on the table. Paige is carrying a box of her things into the house. Ccal says "Need any help?" and paige says "I got it, play your game honey." and Kiira says "Tell me a science thing, sugarhooves."

It's 2026.

Puberty blockers have been banned on the basis of a fake study conducted by a generalist paeditrician.

Hormones for under 18s have been banned on the basis of a fake review conducted by a head injury specialist.

Both remain available for cis kids because that's 'different' somehow
