There’s just no subtlety or smarts to transphobic thought and its a mistake to assign it any. Its a very base and banal thing. Just the manifestation of belief in the base structures of patriarchal heterosexual society and that people should know their place in it

If you have “sincere concerns” about trans athletes in sports, all it means is that you have given yourself a rationale for your bigotry that you sincerely believe exonerates you for aligning to a far-right tactic for marginalization and exclusion.

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

The simplistic message that 'HRT reduces suicidality' can be weaponised by bad faith actors into the argument that the evidence of effectiveness is less strong for those who are not suicidal, into needing young people to show severe distress to be worth 'treating'.

in times like this it's good to remember it's never too late to deUS-ize your media diet, even if just a bit. music, movies, TV shows, political commentary, philosophy - it all gets done also in countries different than the Trumpland

I know we were supposed to get our hot takes out on Christmas Eve, but here's mine:
Stop referring to politicians by their first names.
Are they your bestie? An actual relative? No? Then they're not Kamala, Zohran, Bernie, Hillary, or Kat to you. They may brand that way, but I don't care.

-Car: You sucker. People who operate other vehicles are getting paid for it, and people who ride other means of transport get to just relax on the way. Have fun doing work you have to pay for, and then paying for a spot to put the car at your destination. Also some places can only be reached by car.

the most popular and widespread form of theft is wage theft from employers. the fact that your employer can call the police if you steal from them but you can't call the police if they steal your wages, should tell you almost everything you need to know about the police and their function in society
