Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"
"According to the report, [...]during the 2024-25 television season, queer characters increased across platforms by 4%, bringing the total to 489. However, the Thursday report found that 41% of those characters will not return." www.thewrap.com/glaad-where-...

Absolutely bonkers sequel that manages to up the ante and utter ridiculousness of the first with more over the top violence, gore and action. Jorma Tommila says so much without a single word and Stephen Lang is evil incarnate. Insane set pieces and surprisingly heartfelt ending.

Trump's Anti-Trans Report Authors Revealed: Hate Groups and Billionaire-Funded Anti-Trans Activists

I find this pretty striking - we're not even offered the standard "here's why Mamdani's victory is actually trouble for the left" kind of gymnastics, the strategy really seems to be to hope no one notices
it is wild that Labour is doing exactly what the reactionary centrists recommend and is absolutely destroying its base of support as a result, and yet reactionary centrists in the US are just utterly silent about the complete failure of their program.

Many queer people were also denied restitution after the war because they were not considered victims of fascism - as only those targeted based on racial, political or religious grounds were considered.

When the US liberated Nazi concentration camps, many queer people stayed in prison because they were seen as having broken the law. Indeed, Paragraph 175, which criminalized gay intercourse in Weimar Germany & had been expanded to include intent by the Nazis, was not abolished by the US after WWII.

this is true but it goes even deeper than this, it’s not that they ‘don’t care’ about their kid, it’s they don’t care about their autonomany and only view their children as property and want to control them. its why we see the modern lavender panic, fears of “kids being transed”, from the far right
One of the things that's very difficult to really take to heart about MAGA conservatives is that you can't get them on hypocrisy about their children because they really don't give a fuck about their kids
Everyone who posts this should note that Megyn Kelly has a 14-year-old daughter. Do not let her off the hook on this.

The first thing anti-trans groups like Bayswater Group and Transgender Trend say to parents of trans teens is take their phones, get them off the internet
So, given that a lot of trans people are offended that Brianna's transfemicide is being turned into a crusade against phone use, when Brianna had a supportive online community and was murdered offline by her classmates:
Do you think "Touch grass" is an appropriate response to that context?

Parents who will never empathize with their queer children will call it a fad, a trend, a corrupting influence of Those Damn Phones on their naturally, innately cishet child, because they refuse to acknowledge that queerness is natural. That we could be something other than what they want us to be.

The average person may be ignorant or uncaring but anyone paying the barest attention KNOWS that queer people in particular rely on each other and on informal networks to tell each other our stories, support each other, advise each other. It's WHY many parents are so fucking militant about phones.

Beneath all the cries of “ban their phones” lies a more sinister truth:
They fear what happens when Queer kids find each other,
when their connections mean the strength to survive, and their community gives them power to thrive

I hate this "phones" conversation regarding queer people and queer kids because the bottom line is, cishet society KNOWS. Right-wingers KNOW that the internet is how queer people connect to each other---hell, that marginalized people period use it to organize and educate.
That's why they hate it.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.
