Saying "self diagnosis isn't valid because everyone is claiming to be autistic after watching a single TikTok video" is as accurate as saying "formal diagnosis isn't valid because all practitioners are telling people they can't be autistic after meeting them for 5 minutes."

I’m funnystyle about this obsessive use of “fragile”, “little”, “weak” and other such terms that attempt to belittle murderers.

The right wing is a party of murderers and accomplices. Rapists and accomplices.

Insurrectionists and accomplices.
They are’t “fragile”. They are mortally dangerous.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

Start saying "human rights" instead of "DEI". They are trying to hide what they are doing behind an acronym.

It's human rights. They are trying to eliminate the teaching and practice of human rights.

Malala Yousafzai is a powerhouse when it comes to fighting for girls' education. As a teen, she stood up to the Taliban & survived an assassination attempt. Instead of backing down, she became an even louder voice for change. She is the youngest Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. 🩷💪🏾 ♀️ #WomensHistoryMonth

I'm not reading the whole thread because who fucking cares, but since the NYT is one of the driving forces of our current trans moral panic (and our current escalation into [let's call it] high fascism) anyone arguing that you should keep you sub is full of absolute shit.
4/ But no, you shouldn’t cancel your sub. The NYT is our last powerful paper, and the most consequential journalism outfit in the country. I just wish they’d stop stepping on rakes and have a way to take in criticism and report out on their choices, good or bad.

The Trump admin has instructed federal health agencies — including the FDA, CDC, and NIH — to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites and social media posts. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.

NEW: Platformer has obtained the dehumanizing new guidelines moderating what people can now say about trans people on Facebook and Instagram. Employees tell me these changes are likely to inspire more violence against LGBT people: www.platformer.news/meta-new-tra...

there’s an academic debate about whether Trump is a fascist, and a big sticking point was that he didn’t espouse any grand imperial ambitions. very kind of him to fully resolve that tension by talking about annexing half the western hemisphere.

Love to ban trans women from capitol restrooms in order to “protect women and girls” while suppressing a report about the incoming attorney general paying for the statutory rape of a minor while in congress and showing women’s nudes on the House floor

Wonderful!

Also: I know this is perhaps old news (but maybe new news to some);

When writing hashtags, capitalize each new word to make them #accessible.

So instead of
#transrightsarehumanrights
make sure you write
#TransRightsAreHumanRights

(Helpful to everyone, really.) #Accessibility
Speaking of accessibility, did you know you can add closed captions to thevideos you post? 1/2

Being trans, this election kinda just reminded us all that most the population likes us as long as we don't affect the price of eggs, but they are completely convinced we affect the price of eggs.

Clearly we don't affect the price of eggs, so apparently we have to die about it. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
