If these conductive suits were available to all power line workers, many lives could be saved. Here's the story of one dad who started distributing them after his 32-year-old son was killed on the job by rogue current.
How $4,500 Conductive Suits Are Saving Lives in Power Line Work
Could a $4,500 suit save the lives of people who work on power lines? These conductive jumpsuits are changing safety standards for line workers.

"Why don't I see more straight trans men?"
"Well, you see, those NON-QUEER guys, those BASICALLY CISHET guys, those ALL COMPLETELY STEALTH guys..."

I mean, I think you can imagine why none of us admit to you that we're straight when you talk about us like that.

As Republicans turn their attacks towards trans adults, more and more conservatives are pushing to remove trans people from public life entirely. Here’s what’s been said.

Enrico Fermi would be an excellent choice imo. Great guy, great contribution.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Lol I thought nobody else could do this. I also randomly gained the ability after getting spun too fast by a wave at the beach when I was like 14. I checked with multiple doctors and I'm a-ok, it doesn't hurt at all either. I wonder why that happened...

I wish I could cycle, I would get faster to work even compared to public transport because this city clogged af.
Unfortunately, Bogotá is not only really unsafe and cyclists get jumped by people wanting the bike all the time, but my knees also like to randomly attempt murder against me.

That's admirable. Maybe the camel can pass through the eye of the needle, after all.

You know what? I like Charlie/Cr1tikal/penguinz0, unapologetically. Not only is he the only truly normiebrained person I know, and I mean this postively, he's also just proven to be a truly honest man. Getting thrown free money and still saying 'go spend it on a good cause instead, I don't want it'.

but my personal theory is that, because Latinos are on average both more conservative and more religious than Spaniards AND we can get citizenship after only 2 years of legal residence, it actively benefits VOX to not isolate Latin-American communities. They wouldn't give a fuck about us otherwise.
October 9, 2025 at 2:15 PM
The reason they don't focus on immigration is because they say they're actually ""pro-immigration"" as long as it's only Latin Americans (so no Maghrebis, no Arabs, no people from Sub-Saharan Africa). They say it's because they want to "restore the Iberosphere", whatever that's supposed to mean, 1/2
October 9, 2025 at 2:15 PM
This already happened a couple of years ago, but they crashed then, this would be their 2nd wave.

Unfortunately, a lot of what VOX says reaches far-right politicians in Hispanic America, so I'm already familiar with them and their odd stance on immigration compared to other far-right euro parties.

I know a lot of trans men into whimsical outdoorsy shit like mushroom picking and fishing and hiking, but maybe that's just my circle. I sure do love doing that, at least.
October 8, 2025 at 6:28 PM
I'm frustrated with the amount of fellow trans men/mascs who feel perfectly comfortable spreading false, incomplete and/or hyperbolically disparaging information about phalloplasty/meta.

Or have the gall to tell us who want or have it how bad/ugly/fake our genitals are.

Tired of your bullshit.

A grim thread.

Conversion therapists at the Oslo gender clinic stole children’s journals and used them to write a junk paper claiming to link the supposed rise in trans men with self-harm.

It echoes Cass.

...identity theft and not just harassment (which would have aggravated the sentence) was thrown out because it "wasn't technically her". The state of the law is dismal in this country. 2/2
