On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.
That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Sorry, anyone who thinks there aren’t transfemme lesbians never met my gf pre-transition because even then I was like THAT GIRL IS A LESBIAN.
![Perhaps most concerningly, the Supreme Court adopts extremely transphobic rhetoric concerning transfeminine lesbians.
The Court concludes that a lesbian “must be a [AFAB] female who is sexually oriented towards (or attracted to) [AFAB] females”. The Court concludes that female here cannot include trans women, as the “concept of sexual orientation” would be “rendered meaningless”, and in its opinion, wrongly affect the composition of lesbians as a group.
The Court claims this would lead to an “inevitable loss of autonomy and dignity for lesbians”. It points to evidence from gender-critical groups like the LGB Alliance and The Lesbian Project to make this argument. They claim the inclusion of trans women is having a ‘chilling effect on lesbians’ to associate in lesbian-only spaces. The vast majority of lesbians reject this claim.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:i7aox3qj5gv2bqvlclpwcw5u/bafkreicrxzlblscgchacobotqqxbvfhiyclwilbbzjs363mwf65meyssly@jpeg)

A lot of people seem to be under the belief that the post-war factory jobs their parents and grandparents had were good jobs because they were masculine and tough instead of, say, protected by a union under a progressive tax rate and a massive surplus

I’m not a comics person but this is beautiful and what I needed today.
Also, I still think it's ridiculously cool that there's a comic book character who has the same genetic disorder as me. (Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome)
Their name is Sun-Spider.
Representation is always an amazing thing, and no one can tell me otherwise. 💕

If you're a white trans person, you should read this thread.
If you think you don't have things to unlearn, you probably haven't learned enough yet about how white supremacy actually works.

Very lol that when I say 'white trans women are racist in the exact same way that white cis women are', people think I'm giving them a pass or 'defending nazis'. No, I am just stating a fact, one that is proven constantly.
