Newsom has done the calculus, and he knows that the sort of queerphobia being peddled by the GOP is *deeply* unpopular with most of the rest of the country. He's one of the few Democrats on the national stage who's willing to drag the rest of the party along.

Gavin gives me the creeps and even so I hate him less than most lefties and the sole reason is because he understands (correctly) that you cannot equivocate or yield even a little bit on this culture war bullshit

California bans school districts from outing trans kidswww.politico.com Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the legislation, which is sure to infuriate conservative activists.

45 spent all of that wasted breath inciting tons of violence then gets a chunk of ear blown off and acts like this is the most surprising thing in the world. He orchestrated a fucking coup that got people murdered. "How did it come to this" people need to be shaken, not stirred.

This is galling: Media accounts are noting that both Trump and Dems are attacking the other as a grave threat to democracy. But Dems base this on what Trump and his allies *say in their own words.* Trump makes shit up. Media isn't making this clear. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1838...

thinking about how basically every website builds its userbase with trans people and sex workers and then as soon as they reach an appropriate mass of Everyone Else they throw them under the bus.

JD Vance is on the ticket because he wants the government to kill trans people. Vance has been more vocal in his transphobia than just about any other leading VP candidate. That's a deliberate choice by Team Trump.

J.D. Vance's horrendous record of homophobia and transphobiawww.advocate.com Donald Trump's vice-presidential pick hasn't been a senator long — but he's been in the public eye long enough to accrue a strongly anti-LGBTQ+ record.

At least six people attempted assassinations on Hitler. Didn't suddenly make him more respectable either.

There is no situation where leftists won’t respond with dread, and it’s miserable. History is made by seizing opportunities and it’s impossible to do so if you assume everything that happens is going to be terrible

Look Trump when he speaks sounds forceful and strong, while spewing UTTER NONSENSE, I mean sometimes it's word fucking salad, truly. And when it's not ... it's lies Biden is speaking strong truths, but he's not the 'best' speaker. Listen to the WORDS and ACTIONS.

Biden: "I'm staying in." Pelosi: "Well, you just need to decide." Biden: "I have decided." Pelosi: "Okay, but you should figure it out soon." Biden: "I'm staying in!" Pelosi: "Whatever you choose is fine." Biden: "I'm in!" Pelosi: "We can talk about it after NATO."

In Pelosi's MSNBC appearance this morning, she says Biden needs to decide whether to stay in. The host reminds her that Biden says he's decided, and she again treats it as an open question. She then says people should "hold off" on weighing in until after the NATO summit.

hey, it'd be cool if the damage to writerworld from neil gaiman was limited to him, but if any other authors want me to stop buying your shit you can certainly defend him.

"Believe victims," they say, with the unspoken caveat that this will change according to their personal fandoms. Look, doubt whatever you want, but maybe do it quietly and offline because if you're wrong, you're being slimy. That's all I'm offering for advice.

So much this. I know it's hard. But get some sunshine. Some fresh air. Don't pick up your phone for the first few minutes after you wake up (longer is better but I get it). Do something that makes you happy. We've got to take care of ourselves and each other. Despair is the enemy of hope.

PERFORMATIVE DESPAIR IS NOT A POLITICAL STRATEGY. Do not conjure your own imagined demise. In particular, don't do it collectively, on a communication system meant to amplify emotional contagion. (simpler/more esoteric: don't do death magic at collective scale on your own minds, for fuck's sake)

Mask bans are evil and dystopian and I am appalled that they’re even being proposed. Wearing masks to protect your health and the health of others needs to be recognized as a right for all and an absolutely essential protection for those who would otherwise be unable to participate in society

All our societal actions on climate change are minor nuisance stuff to make ordinary people's lives more inconvenient. Melting paper straws that taste like the devil's ass.

ChatGPT already has “Ph.D.-level intelligence,” in that once you remove it from its extremely narrow field of expertise (assembling words into credible-sounding passages) it is wildly out of its depth, but people vastly overestimate its authority because they don’t understand what “intelligence” is.

The thing about ADHD that I think is difficult to accept is that “me engaged in a knife fight with my own brain to try to get A Task done” looks exactly like “me fucking around and staring into space”

Cross-resharing, much less from Tumblr, is rarely something I do, but I saw this sappy thing about transfem feelings and getting over the self-deprivation that egg life was and it kinda hit me, so now y'all have to see it too: www.tumblr.com/planetarytra...

There's no such thing as "AI art". Without the intent of human expression, and the act of creation, there is no art.

For every AI asshat you see, be sure to give some love and engagement to legit, real, hardworking and talented artists.

There is not a legislative attack on "LGBTQ people" there is a coordinated, concerted attack on trans people going on that the media should not be obscuring or otherwise failing to report on.

Continuing the voyage to Colonia ... ooo, shiny! twitch.tv/PhoenixBlue0 #EliteDangerous

I'm starting to think we should've taken that left turn at the Pillars of Creation. Nonetheless, onward to Colonia! twitch.tv/PhoenixBlue0 #EliteDangerous

Turns out maybe it wasn't so vital after all, but it sure explains why so many of us have anxiety about talking on the phone.

“Do not use your phone to answer phone calls” is not advice as much as it’s a condemnation of regulatory inaction that has led a vital means of communication to ruin.

Hey y'all, we're at $135/$850 - $400 of the $850 just became a little urgent (as in, I have until the 24th.) So any help is greatly appreciated. 💖

Hey, y'all, we're in a rough financial spot again while Lexi continues trying to find a new job. Any shares/assistance/etc would be super helpful. Thank you 💖! paypal.me/leximac

Will this birb make it to Colonia today? Depends on how many distractions we run into along the way. twitch.tv/PhoenixBlue0 #EliteDangerous
