100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.

Mainstream media: nothing

Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.

Mainstream media: nothing.

This is what extreme media bias looks like.

I hate this man so much, Just everything about him is such bumbling movie villain energy, but he's real and holds actual power. Fucking baffling the world is like this.

In the same way that we can't know anything before we know it, we also can't know WHICH areas of scientific research will end up yielding useful results. This guy probably thinks he's a pragmatist, but he actually just believes we know something that we don't and can't.

And yet the average person's life today would be completely different without the technological advances developed by NASA in pursuit of that niche knowledge. Knowledge benefits everyone, you just can't predict how.

Several of the techniques we use for imaging eyeballs is a machine that was developed by astrophysicists and geologists

Disciplines are not isolated, we wouldn’t have OCTs without LIDAR

I will never not share this. There is evidence that even cavemen before writing existed cared for their elders and their sick even when their bodies were too broken or sick to contribute because we've always believed that everyone deserves to live.

I think it’s cool that some people focus on curing disease and some people focus on understanding what animals are up to and some people think about our place in the universe and how things came to be the way they are. People are driven by curiosity and I promise you you don’t want it any other way

A drawing of Kim and Harry from Disco Elysium - Kim is asking if Harry is okay, the answer is no no no no

Disco!

Yuel from Granblue Fantasy saying "hope I don't have a long day" on the background there being a factory that says "Long day factory"

Hopefully Yuel doesn't have a long day today

To the people that are all too happy about the NY AG Steam lawsuit saying that all the people against it are Valve stans.

I beg of you to understand the dangers of age verification to vulnerable populations that the lawsuit is pushing on the down low.

FOR EVERYONE not just people in NY.

We need reparations for ICE victims.

Anything short of that is setting the stage for a massive wealth grab from people of color that will re-entrench racial disparities for generations.

NSFW Artists being attacked on all fronts while the government actively protects pedos is fucking nuts and shouldn't be ignored.

I'm so tired of having to defend porn made by consenting adults for consenting adults when our government is run by literal child predators that are hurting people everyday

This is false.

Jamal Harrison Bryant, a Megachurch pastor, has said the boycott is over. He is not leaders, plural. He and his church were not the ones to start the calls for boycott.

Nekima Levy Armstrong, who founded the Racial Justice Network, and other Minnesota civil rights activists were.

“This is a veto rooted in cowardice, not the livelihoods of our residents.”

Censorious payment processers, Warmongering administrations, Blatant theft from LLm Companies, Paywalled Healthcare, Digital Surveillance, ecological disasters, all seem to harm one class of People, the working class, and benefit another, Capitol, know your enemy. Organize.

This is important if you don't want visa or MasterCard to tell you how to spend your money.

kind of not ideal that the world economy is run by a cabal of pedophiles but also the two corporations that control all consumer spending think that if you jerk off you should be unbanked

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE:

-the KIDS Act
-KOSA
-the Screen Act
-Sammy's Law
-the App Store Accountability Act

And additionally, oppose:

-reforming/sunsetting Section 230
-online age verification/ID laws

www.congress.gov/members/find...

If you agree with this please take action against KOSA with us, keep annoying your legislators. We must erode support.

Heated Rivalry is a nuanced thing but lately the emotion that's coming out on top is that corpos are allowed to feed us sex and queerness through its eyes but my artist friends are getting their groceries snatched out of their hands by those same entities

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.

Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

Imagining what it would be like if our collective taxes went to health care, feeding everyone, providing education for all who need it, secure housing with power and water

The crimes that people are scared of would go down if basic needs are met

The ability to take a chance w/o going bankrupt

All these who voted "yes" you have a chance to either contact them to try to convince them that these laws don't work or also vote against them so they don't get re elected

The fight is so neck and neck that a few reps could make a difference

Gavin Newsom vetoed a 2023 bill that would have stopped the unscrupulous practice of county governments using foster children's benefit checks (e.g. social security survivor benefits) to reimburse themselves.

The bill was sponsored by @ib2real.bsky.social, himself a former foster child.

Trump’s War on Iran Could Screw Over US Farmers The Middle East supplies a huge amount of the world’s fertilizer. Conflict in the region has sent prices soaring ahead of the critical spring planting season.

there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran

some quick and dirty dnd campaign assets.
