The ovulation tracking app, "Ovia", now mandates you identify what state you live in. Delete immediately and warn anyone who might need to know.

V. disturbing reporting of ACLU suit of FL state prisons. Incl this concentration-camp-esque nugget: "more than a dozen transgender people said corrections officers ordered them to cut their hair...officers put [one woman] in handcuffs & led her to the prison barber where her hair was cropped short"
Trans women in Florida prisons now have to get breast exams to figure out whether their breasts are big enough that prison officials think they should get to keep their bras.

agreed & i'll add something more cynical for the bsky team: you'll see more growth if you ban people like him. for anyone he brings over he'll drive someone off, whereas "holy shit bluesky ban the known troll shitheads on sight" posted all over X will do a lot more for you numbers-wise
kinda feel like the Bsky team won't listen to trans users about this, so I'll say it as a Cis Person: I don't want Jesse Singal on here spreading his lying hateful "just asking questions" bullshit. he is not acting in good faith, he causes active harm, and he adds nothing worthwhile to this platform

Had to block a lot of homophobes and transphobes this morning. It’s very satisfying. Like weeding the garden.

sadly the people with power in the party know this is true, they just wish it wasn't. if they can't win by running to the center they'll just lose, cross their arms & wait four years
i think something democrats need to understand is that starting with the 2008 election, every presidential winner has more convincingly promised change from the status quo more than their opponent

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Here's my advice: don't. As long as you are financially your own person, just go on and make shit real awkward. Earnestly ask them to explain their racist jokes. Earnestly ask them if they believe children are getting surgery at school.
I can see into the future, and it’s a hell of a lot of “Here’s how to get along with your fascist family members at Thanksgiving” articles over the next several weeks
