this corrosion says unban Łink

- Each country has one team for players of any & all genders
- To my knowledge, the only woman competing this year is on the Japanese team, but I don’t know if there are enby/GNC ppl or others I haven’t heard about yet
- I feel like the Paralympics tends to be more 💁 abt gender & I’m here for it

[Photo of television screen showing 2026 Paralympics logo for sled hockey on the left, abbreviated rules list on the right. Text below.] SLED HOCKEY RULES OF THE COMPETITION • Five-on-five • Same dimensions, markings and goal structure as Olympic ice hockey • Three 15-minute periods; two 15-minute intermissions • Common penalties: teeing, illegal use of the picks • Checking is allowed • 17 players per team (18 if a woman is on the roster)

- If you have never watched sled hockey, you owe it to yourself and the athletes to tune in at least once and see what happens from there
- “Checking is allowed” is…an understatement
- Two sticks, no legs, no fucks given
- This game makes ableist people uncomfortable and I will elevate it forever

Still frame from coffeeshop security camera that was put out on social media by law enforcement after some guy saw a man and a teenage girl - who was in fact his daughter - sitting together. Image shows a white man with straight brown hair, glasses with clear frames, and a mustache and beard wearing a black winter coat standing next to a teenage girl with straight brown hair, basically the same glasses with clear frames, and a remarkably similar facial structure (no mustache or beard though). She’s wearing a black t-shirt with a large rose on it. They both have their faces tilted at the same angle to read the menu and could not look more like each other if they tried. Like, I have a form of face blindness where I have to look for something that someone I don’t know is wearing - a necklace, or distinctive earrings - if I’ll be expected to recognize them again later that day, and *I* could tell you these people are related.

Sir this is the same human being

This feels @moxiest.art -y to me, in the best way.

Ooh!! We’ve only been to two of these so far but now we have our work cut out for us. Excellent! Thank you.

I just had this moment where I thought I might have lost my account into a vacuum of space/time bc I often have “who will enforce it” auto-muted - I don’t need doomer dan trying to yell over our legal victories - and I remembered I typed it in a sarcastic comment to you & thought I muted myself. 🏆

I use ProtonMail bc I don’t want Google’s tentacles crawling thru my stuff & feeding it to LLMs.

Privacy isn’t anonymity. Most ppl who think they need anonymity don’t, but if you do, don’t keep shit in archived, subscription-based cloud email!

If true security were convenient, we’d all do it.

I feel like a lot of civmil bsky is close to locking itself inside the Department of That’s Not How Any of This Works with a PS5 & a bunch of snacks

I know you think there are laws that will stop her JJ but JJ WHO WILL ENFORCE THEM

Behold: my life preserver for at least a few days. There’s room for you if you need something to hold onto too.

Omg this line almost did me in

I’ve decided it’s in there bc someone lost a bet

I simply cannot imagine the cojones necessary to be a cisgender white male US citizen who looks around in 2026 and decides that what's needed is an article called "IN DEFENSE OF ME"

[screenshot #1 of 3] By Joseph Goldstein March 2, 2026 Updated 5:55 p.m. ET The New York attorney general’s office has ordered a major Manhattan hospital to resume providing puberty-blocking medication and hormone treatments to transgender adolescents, just two weeks after the hospital had stopped doing so. The hospital, NYU Langone Health, had closed its Transgender Youth Health Program after the federal government threatened to pull federal funding from hospitals that provided gender-transition treatments for adolescents. For more than a year, the Trump administration has sought to prevent hospitals from helping adolescents transition, asserting that many of the children are impressionable and confused and that the medical treatments maim and sterilize them. In response, many clinics and hospitals in the United States have scaled back or stopped providing gender-related treatments to children. In a letter to the hospital, a senior official in the attorney general’s office raised the question of whether NYU Langone’s action violated New York’s anti-discrimination laws, by barring a single category of patients from receiving medications that others could access. The official, Darsana Srinivasan, who leads the office’s health care bureau, wrote in the letter that puberty blockers and hormone treatments remained available to pediatric patients who were not transgender. “New York state laws prohibit discrimination based on a patient’s membership in a protected class,” Ms. Srinivasan wrote. The letter states that the attorney general’s office had received several complaints from patients and their families regarding NYU Langone’s... [continued in next screenshot]

[screenshot #2 of 3] ...decision to close the program for transgender adolescents. “You are hereby advised to immediately resume all service offerings as they had before the change in policy and to make medically necessary puberty-blocking medications and hormone therapies available for patients under 19 who are diagnosed with gender dysphoria,” the letter, which is dated Feb. 25, states. The letter, addressed to NYU Langone Health’s top lawyer, instructs the hospital to notify the attorney general’s office that it has complied within 10 days. The letter threatens further action and mentions the possibility of an investigation if the hospital refuses to comply. Steve Ritea, a spokesman for NYU Langone Health, declined to comment. Last month, the hospital issued a statement citing “the current regulatory environment” as among the reasons the hospital had decided to discontinue its program for gender-related care for youth. In its statement, NYU Langone had said that it was “committed to helping patients in our care manage this change.” A spokeswoman for the office of Letitia James, the attorney general, declined to comment on the letter. The letter leaves NYU Langone in a difficult position. During the past year, Mr. Trump has wielded the power of the federal government to try to put an end to gender-related care for minors across the United States. The Justice Department has sent more than 20 subpoenas to doctors and clinics that perform transgender medical procedures on minors, demanding confidential patient information. The F.B.I. has asked the public to call its tip line with information about... [continued in next screenshot]

NYU Langone began calling patients’ families a month later, saying that the hospital was discontinuing the treatments for adolescents. But Ms. Srinivasan’s letter noted that the proposed rules that would end federal funding have not gone into effect. “NYU Langone’s change in policy is self-imposed,” the letter states. “There has been no change in federal law to require the cessation of medically necessary transgender health care.” Joseph Goldstein covers health care in New York for The Times, following years of criminal justice and police reporting.

Who's got two thumbs and opened an NYT article so you don't have to? This guy. You're welcome.

N.Y. Attorney General Orders Hospital to Resume Youth Transgender Care

1. Fuck yeah AG Tish
2. Fuck the NYT (ignore the link, go to the next post)
3. I need a better article to send to people, this is just embarrassing.
4. Saints, let this hold. Let this hold.

Screenshot of Bluesky post from The Economist. Large photo of Gavin Newsom vaguely trying to look presidential but mostly looking like he kind of resents something, possibly Mexicans. He's between two large American flags. Above him is the subhead of the Economist article: "The governor has become the de facto leader of the Democratic party." Below the photo is the article headline "Gavin Newsom wants to reintroduce himself" and then the de facto leader thing again, which is slightly undercut by the fact that in less than two hours, people have ratio'd the hell out of the post, which at the time of this screenshot had 71 likes and 454 comments + 352 quotes which are really just fancy comments, amirite? Lol, 71 likes for the de factor leader after almost 1,000 interactions. OK.

The Economist has become the de facto leader of the Polling the Imaginary People in Chuck Schumer's Head Party

I implore people to understand that someone saying Thing A happened does NOT mean they are also saying:

- Thing B never happened
- Thing A was the only thing of consequence ever
- Thing A was in no way controversial
- No one should talk about anything else

They’re just saying Thing A *happened*.

Praxis ❤️

It’s probably bc I’m now firmly in my apartment days as opposed to my fighting monsters from the back of a jeep days, but I do love Kentaro’s mom.

No one asked your ACAB chatbot shit, lady. This is spam.

White people who don’t want to think about how deeply they’re embedded into a necrocapitalist culture.

Or maybe something else, idk.

one good thing about being antiwar is you will never be wrong. one bad thing about being antiwar is no one who matters will ever listen to you

I…have questions. That I’m not sure I want answers to.

The instructions are in the image above! Bottom box.

Screenshot of signal chat between a friend and myself; they said “I'm also just learning that he announced it on social media at 2 am” to which I replied “Wearing a FUCKING BASEBALL CAP”

If this one had been the stupid unnecessary war my brother was sent to fight in instead of one of the other ones, I feel like this might have pushed me over the edge.

Why do you hate freedom

People here keep asking why they’re so bad at their jobs and I keep wondering what people think they’re trying to do?

Is it the #1 most effective way to get the most help to the most trans people? Absolutely not! But I’d rather do the thing that can be done now than be pissed off that other things aren’t happening yet. And if someone else thinks these resources would be better suited elsewhere rn, pls let me know!
