The world may be terrifying, but some things you can rely on. It’s officially decorative gourd season, and we have a new mug. Blammo.

You can’t “cede ground” on a privately owned media company. All engagement on a company’s platforms necessarily supports the ends of that company’s economic (and social and political goals). If you disagree with those goals, take your traffic and attention elsewhere.
So I just posted this on Twitter & asked for views on it & the BlueSky exodus? Isn’t it just ceding ground to Musk? Zelensky didn’t pack his bags & decamp to Poland. Tell me why I’m wrong.

Guardian will no longer post on Elon Musk’s X from its official accounts
Platform’s coverage of US election crystallised longstanding concerns about its content, says Guardian

I guess this is a lesson on the mixed bag of blocklists. @pujz.net has me on one for being a furry? Where did they get that idea from?

Helpful tips for trans folks living in the US:
1) Ask your healthcare provider if you can discreetly have your diagnosis/justification for gender dysphoria changed to 'hormonal disorder not otherwise specified', since odds are good the FDA is going to ban gender-affirming care even for adults

Just a reminder: Sen. JD Vance sent a letter to DOJ demanding that Kagan be criminally investigated for writing the column below.
He wanted a journalist criminally investigated. For writing a column. Fascist Teddy Ruxpin then had the gall to wax about censorship at the VP debate.

I am actually pretty fucked up by knowing that the outcome of the US presidential election will drastically impact the course of my life, from where I live next year to whether I can take my medication w/o breaking the law. (Once again worth mentioning: Testosterone is a controlled substance.)

Column | The place crime obviously spiked since 2020? Trump’s imagination.
New data from the FBI reinforces that violent crime fell under Biden, despite Trump’s insistence that crime is surging.

A Haitian perspective from Springfield, Oh
Trump sounded ridiculous when he started ranting about immigrants eating dogs and cats at last night's debate. But to the town's Haitian community it's no joke.
