TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS
From Evan: it's a huge night of hope for the trans community. The Republicans went all in on anti-trans ads in multiple races and so far there's no sign it got them anything.

Perhaps the page can be turned on blaming us for Harris' loss last year.

AND ANOTHER THING!

Platner & ilk think misogyny and antisemitism should not disqualify white men for political office.

If I were to run for political office, do you know what would disqualify me?

That I'm non-binary. That I'm autistic. Even that I'm an atheist.
Graham Platner to @daveweigel.bsky.social:
"How do you expect to win back men when you go back through somebody’s Reddit history and just pull it all out and say: ‘Oh, my God, this person has no right to ever be in politics?’"

DSCC Chair Gillibrand: “It’s up to the voters of Maine to decide.”

White men disillusioned with the right need to get comfortable with the notion that they will need to look to people who don't look like them for leadership from time to time.

Especially when the crisis at hand was caused by white men trying to consolidate wealth and political power.

Because I fear this may come up again before midterms, my general-purpose stance:

A person who does not have the good sense to not get a Nazi tattoo cannot be trusted to have the political instincts necessary to successfully serve the good of the public.

I've been enjoying Deezer as an alternative. They don't really have a free version, but their paid version is cheaper than Spotify's, and they have actual AI regulation policies.

Friends and family reaching out to me this morning like, "New weird Dissidia game announced. How are you feeling? 🥺"

The fact that the only part of Orwell's 1984 that anyone talks about is its political thesis and not the heinously peak "men writing women" romance and sex scenes in the second act is proof that no one has ever actually read 1984.
Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

I saw a leopard-print cybertruck today. Please keep me and my family in your thoughts as we navigate this troubling situation.

Finished the Hypnos quest in Hades II last night. Spoilers for that and the Hades II endgame in general.

A little message from our CEO and founder @andyhunter777.bsky.social ahead of Anti-Prime:
What a lovely message from @bookshop.org. Glad to see them growing and growing. We CAN claim back what has been taken from us by these monstrous corporations, and it starts with things like this. Grab some books these next couple days!

Using my inherent human free will to stay up until 2 am hitting credits on Hades II and ruining my whole sleep schedule for today even though I have many important grown up things I need to do.

As someone who uses MW for work, I suspect this pure genAI haterism (affectionate) is born from the fact that they figured out early on that genAI is a scam. After they fell for it.
We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Anyway, regarding the EA thing, I kept saying I didn't think Bioware was going to survive 2025, but I didn't think it was going to happen like this.

Maybe now EA will be more inclined to actually sell its IPs, though.

Again, (fellow USians) call your reps to let them know you don't want to see any anti-trans anything coming out of Congress ever, but here are the facts of the current situation laid out.

If any of my trans siblings are spiraling right now, hopefully this helps.
continuing resolution /= FY2026 budget
the anti-trans provisions people are freaking their shit about are in the FY2026 budget, the continuing resolution is what's being negotiated over ostensibly. the FY2026 budget is not anywhere near passing and Dems have not offered to negotiate passing it.

Two things that are true at once:

1) Cis people need to show up more frequently and louder for the trans community in the US (and everywhere) and signalling aggressively to politicians that they support pro-trans policies.

2) PinkNews is an alarmist rag and not a reliable news source.

I hear some of you want to buy queer books. I want to make queer book sales. Perhaps we are not so different, you and I.
