So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig
A screenshot of a tweet from Ludwig saying: a couple weeks ago I found out one of my oldest viewers passed away she started following when i had 100 viewers she was super active in chat, funny, and helped turn my goofy dream of being a streamer into a full fledged career she was also trans, and my community was one of the few places she felt comfortable expressing that in so today in her memory im doing a charity stream for the Trevor project ty to anyone who tunes in or donates rip kanabana

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.
police dressed as military in front of a police tank police dressed in camo like soldiers like total knobs cops dressed head to toe in camo like full kit wankers

These are all different designs and only one of these was on Platner's body. The other two were not.

If only someone could have foreseen this...
Before testing a matchup between Platner and Collins, the poll summarizes pro-Platner messaging — including his military service and his promise to “fight the billionaire class” and make politics work “for regular people” — along with likely Republican attacks about the communist label and his comments about police. With that information, Collins leads Platner 51 percent to 42 percent. That gap grew to 19 points after voters were provided more quotes from Platner’s Reddit posts. And when voters were provided with a lengthy apology response, he only narrowed the gap by 5 points.

Here's Guardian Sports Editor Sean Ingle, who has been the guy behind most of the public outrages over specific athletes asking for a selfie with an athlete he was supposed to be covering objectively at last year's olympics.

Confirmed she ‘maybe’ has a broken nose, hurts a lot but not checked out yet. Sean Ingle @seaningle · Aug 1, 2024 Don’t usually ask for selfies but … Katelyn Burns @transscribe · Aug 1, 2024 But you’re an activist on this issue so you set aside your journalistic ethics.

Post See new posts Conversation Christian Heiens 🏛 @ChristianHeiens · 10h Call: Democrats have flipped VA HD-66, with Nicole Cole defeating Bobby Orrock. This is a stunning upset that just encapsulates how much of a disaster tonight has become for the GOP. Bobby Orrock was first elected in 1989 and has almost always won re-election by landslide Show more Independent Thinker @BS_2112 We need to stop pretending this is legitimate. You can’t be on the wrong side of 20-80 elections and flip opponents districts. It s just not logical. 9:58 PM · Nov 4, 2025 · 2,450 Views

Go fuck yourself
Post Brianna Wu O Subscribe Trans sisters. I'm pretty sure I was wrong. I an somy. I genuinely thought that as a trans woman, if ceded some points with the gender critical crowd we could have a healthier conversation and arrive at better public policy. The problem is, they are getting crazier and more extreme. If you admit "trans women don't belong in women's sports" they agree, but call you a man the whole time. If you admit, "I understand I am a biological man, but this is how I want to live my life and talking about me like this is degrading" they scream about free speech. If you admit that hurtful language is part of free speech but you don't have to associate with people that degrade you, they act like the victim and call you a man and then say you should be thrown in an insane asylum. It's like this on everything. They are incapable of looking for a middle ground on bathrooms. They want maximalist policies on everything. They'd throw a fully transitioned, fully passing trans woman in male prison genpop and laugh as she got aids from being raped. I want a middle ground on so many of these polices. BUT THE FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IS THEY DO NOT. They enjoy degrading us, it's fun for them. So, sisters. I genuinely don't know what to do. I think many of our most extreme ideas are bad. But theirs are worse. So if I have to pick, I choose us. I wish there were a political vehicle for compromise and medical safeguarding. But that just simply does not exist. Post Brianna Wu Subscribe @BriannaWu 2/ I consider my business settled with all trans sisters. If anyone wants to reset things, unblock and move forward, I am happy to do that. 7:16 • 01 Nov 25 • 5,969 Views

this happened to me once www.jezebel.com/when-surgeon...
reasonable risk of any surgery of this kind. But when Jezebel reached out to Dr. Rumer with a detailed list of questions and patient allegations, we heard back from a lawyer instead. In April, Dr. Rumer’s counsel attempted to subpoena me in an unrelated libel case, demanding I hand over “all notes, emails, documents and research” related to this story. Just prior to publication, Dr. Rumer again declined to comment and through her attorney threatened to add Jezebel to her pending libel suit.
