Alongside Netflix + Squid Games, this makes at least twice now that a big streaming service put tons of money into a show about how fucked up capitalism is only to make a reality TV show that straightforwardly copies the horrific situation the show used as satire. Seems bad!

Most of the worst trans discourse you find on here is either less bad or entirely absent in the real world outside the internet, and that's because the majority of the worst offenders don't leave their house and/or are essentially closeted beyond pronouns in their bios.

They have to know that releasing the Epstein files redacted like they are is much worse than just not releasing them right? They're just confirming without a reasonable doubt that almost everything in them are things they don't want us to see!

The thing about anyone who thinks AI is worth anything in regards to art and storytelling is that they genuinely don't understand what developing a craft is.

2028 is going to be so stupid guys, like you think we'd be prepared for how stupid it will be with the last decade of experience but it's going to be even more stupid than that
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

Hard no to this: French publisher Harlequin has told translators that their work will now be done by AI. They can ‘revise’ AI translations at much lower rate. It’s a subsidiary of Harper Collins so treat this as a test for rollout elsewhere
I've become much less diplomatic (as have many of us!) about trans people who are closeted/don't transition in any way speaking over those of us trying to survive in the world while our medical care is legislated away—if you can't understand why that is you're willfully dense.

inventing a corresponding but opposing theory to social contagion where transsexuality is like tulpas—the more they fixate on us and the more transphobia they bring into the world, the more of us they conjure up into existence. you have no one to blame but yourselves!

David Brooks is just a cog in a bigger machine but as an individual has probably done more to launder evil under the guise of moderate common sense to normie American libs and moderates then maybe any other single figure, hard to think of a contemporary cultural figure that deserves more disdain!

Cannot underline how important it is for younger (in transition) trans people to be in community with those among us who have been doing this longer—one thing that it teaches you is that we're going to win
I'm so grateful that I have my mental health under control in a way I couldn't have imagined when I started medical transition at the start of Trump admin round one, because if I didn't wow I would really not be able to function right now given you know, everything!

Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

wonder if the prize will be something like "the state / territory of the winning contestants get universal healthcare (and/or some other basic social safety net) for the next year", really raise the stakes
Trump announces an "unprecedented four-day athletic event" with "one young man and one young woman from each state and territory"

To paraphrase Jules Gill-Peterson, trans surgeries have as much of a robust history and body of evidence behind them as any transition related care. To put another way, the way some of you talk about trans surgeries (and those of us who get them) is gross!

The ubiquity of transmisogyny in queer spaces makes it so if you aren't a trans woman, I only trust you if I know you have gone hard for us against someone else being transmisogynistic, even and especially when it incurs a social cost. Want our trust then earn it!

hard not to feel shitty about girls who transitioned like a year ago, make videos of themselves talking like authorities, and suddenly gain huge platforms and become like "the voice of transness" for media pubs despite having zero grasp for media cycles around transness

does anyone with internet detective skills or special cinema knowledge know if Bi Gan's Resurrection is going to be playing in Portland Oregon or honestly anywhere with an hour or so drive? feeling desperate

if it’s true that “trans men don’t have privilege over trans women” then transness is almost certainly the only category that’s true for—if you are a trans person who believes this, it’s almost certainly because you don’t really believe transition is real
