If you want some hope and a dose of excellent queer history, I recommend the newest season of the podcast Slow Burn, Gays Against Briggs. It tells the story of how queer activists successfully fought an initiative to ban gay teachers in California, and it has lots of great interviews

I don’t have nearly the reach here that I did on Twitter, but over there I would block for the slightest reason. Being someone with a high follower count on social media means that your mentions are a firehose all day every day.

this is just my personal opinion and you may disagree with me. but i would also be cautious about ascribing too much meaning behind being blocked by someone with a lot of followers who gets a lot of replies all the time. or being blocked by anyone at all!

I am also now Team Mongolia.

This summer I will be supporting the Mongolian Olympic team because this is their uniform and it is a thousand times better than anything Nike has ever made.

When you hear them say (and you will hear them say) that there’s no need to worry about H5N1 in Colorado because those getting sick are all poultry workers and you are not a poultry worker remind them and remind yourself that poultry workers are people.

In a deleted tweet, someone in attendance at a meeting regarding the NHS plan to review transgender medical care for adults quoted an official for the NHS implying the Cass review was designed to shut down access to gender affirming care for youth. We managed to get a screenshot showing the OP.

These bodyweight-based nutrition calculations are always so funny to me, and so clearly designed for thin people. By this ratio (5 mg per kg), my fat lady maximum would be 795 mg of caffeine. Two Panera lemonades a day! Or 12 shots of espresso! www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...

How Much Caffeine Is Too Much?www.scientificamerican.com Caffeine can help you feel energized. But is there a limit to how much your body can handle?

Since J.D. Vance is announced as Trump's VP pick, now's a good time for me to reveal that Vance has been pictured with the Proud Boys, with members bragging about having met them.

There's a doctor on tiktok who posts stories about fighting insurance for her patients and the hoops she has to jump through. She frequently spends extra time at the office to get the work done because she's otherwise seeing patients.

Commentary: Despite having trained for years to provide medical care, nothing could have prepared us for the burnout and stress we face from fighting health insurance companies.

Doctors speak: Inside our meeting with UnitedHealth Group • Minnesota Reformerminnesotareformer.com UnitedHealthcare refused to change any of their practices.

there's a lot of consternation over a donation the gunman made when he was 17 in January 2021 to a progressive voter turnout organization but, uh, I feel the need to point out that a Big Thing happened in January of 2021 and donating $15 to a voter focused cause is not actually that big of a deal.

They do not have the same name. His middle name is his father's first name. The donation is in the alleged gunman's name and came from his street address.

Check out this, the just-announced policies from Yellen, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, the direct pay energy tax credits, 45L, and the new HUD/USDA minimum standards for affordable housing energy efficiency. It all adds up to more safe, resilient, and affordable housing (& lower energy bills).

This won't solve all the housing/rent problems but it's a good start!

Look, do whatever the fuck you want, but this thing is winnable. Me? I'm going to do everything I can between now and election day to defeat Trump – the guy who has clearly stated he's going to be a dictator if he wins.

Adobe is getting so much flack for their AI features that in sponsored social media posts they’ve stopped using the term ‘AI’ & now call it ‘text to vector art’ 🙄 Don’t let them dodge pushback because of this rebrand attempt & imo they can still fuck ‘emselves for stealing work from their customers

Certain people in the center: “Our strategy to save the Supreme Court must be to win every election for the next 35 years.” The same people: “Except this one, I’m announcing we’re losing it. The clock rests to 57 years, sorry.”

He's white and rightwing so here come the sympathetic stories about him being bullied in school

The gunman who allegedly tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump was bullied in high school and didn’t fit in with other students, former classmates told CNN. Here's what we know so far.

"There's a real trauma for all the rest of us, to have to live in this world of deliberately normalized violence, a world where menace is a daily event, where violence is a campaign promise..."

absolutely brilliant. the cataloging of violent imagery from the right is incredible. i mean, we all know this, but it’s striking to see it in one paragraph.

If it's true it was a RW extremist there's a clear takeaway: The violent, hate-fueled rhetoric of Trump's GOP has is so out of control it's even a danger to Trump himself now. We can't allow a man whose reckless, extremist rhetoric even endangers his own life to keep endangering the country.

Just going to note, regarding "political violence" that three and a half years ago, Trump was encouraging a mob of people who wanted to hang his own VP.
