the "vegan leather is worse for the environment than real leather" myth, which was completely the opposite of reality, has always felt suspicious af to me. Something being plastic doesn't mean it's worse than the alternatives for the environment, and there are non plastic alternatives.

The biggest con in contemporary politics is Gender-Conservatives calling trans women perverts and rapists while constantly, and I mean constantly innovating new ways to sexually harass us on a mass scale.

Happy Resistance Day.

We exist. We resist. We revitalize and tell the old stories.

Nonhelema & the Moravian Lenapes spent too long being erased and forgotten.

It's a good day to be Indigenous

so glad I shared this story w/ @margaret.bsky.social and that she told it to @jamieloftus.bsky.social
New Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff

Margaret continues her talk with Jamie Loftus about Shawnee resistance to the American colonialism and a woman who led them in battle.

Just getting around to watching this and Rebecca has the receipts from 15 years ago of all the men who stood by Lawrence Krauss and Epstein.

I imagine her creating this video had at least some of the feeling of this Brooklyn 99 meme....

Well worth a watch.

In my experience, trans romance fiction tends to have a degree of intentionality and awareness about how sexuality and desire shapes gender. (That doesn't always make it better, to be clear.)

Cis romance, meanwhile, is usually about the dissonance that arises from desiring that which reviles you.

the only one they've stuck to is 'force conversion practices on to trans children based off the back of some christian psuedoscience'.

aka 'we will implement the cass review'.
they're legitimately running out of manifesto "pledges" to break now

Key takeaway of 2025: Bluesky is an enormous activism force that punches above its weight. The paypros censorship stuff? This site is the one that’s getting us to the 20 yard line. The initial interest in the summer hasn’t returned to Twitter, whereas Bluesky is now the de facto source on this issue

the bbc changed their article from saying 'trans woman' to saying 'biological male who identifies as a woman'.

even if you don't care about trans ppl it should alarm you just how captured the bbc has become.

they will no longer even say 'trans woman'. that's not normal and shows massive bias.

This headline is going around and the thing that is really bothering me is that buying a single item and then using it and NOT collecting more items is literally the opposite of hoarding.

One of the biggest shocks of my adult life was realizing there's a hidden division in society between people who think certain acts - cruelty, torture, murder - are inherently wrong, versus the majority of people who think there are no wrong actions, just incorrect targets.

People need food. Market won’t provide it. Government should. It’s literally the whole point.
Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link)

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”

“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
‘Brazil is not her home.’ Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, brought to US as child, detained by ICE. - The Boston Globe
Bruna Ferreira, 33, was brought to the United States as a child in 1998. She is now in removal proceedings in Louisiana.
