One of the things that bothers me about transphobia as a word - see also islamophobia etc. - is that, no, no it's not a *phobia* it's not arachnophobia or pyrophobia or things that actually relate to someone being scared, it's hatred and bigotry that is often finessed into a grift.
From @karleighchardonnay.bsky.social at Outsports:
Jennifer Sey, who said the NWSL had “several males” has issued a $10,000 bounty to the next player to “speak out like Elizabeth Eddy.” An anonymous donor added $5000. Clay Travis said he’d double it.

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social has repeatedly observed that the MAGA feminine aesthetic, instead of aiming for a coherent beauty heuristic, is meant *only* to signal female willingness to self-subjugate to a male desire.
The outcome needn’t be “attractive”, it need only say “I’m willing to do this”.

Unless I absolutely must for professional reasons, I will not be watching your nuclear war movie. I will not be watching your incredibly bleak and depressing murder show. I will not be watching your artistic despair. It’s nothing personal, I just don’t order water when I’m already bailing my boat.

i am not much of a one for celebrity interviews but this is lovely
OK I've never seen this video before, but I'm not even halfway through and I cannot get over how much I respect John Cena for his ability to admit his faults, apologise sincerely, and commit with everything he has to being better. The man is just so PURE & we are so LUCKY.

A western Pennsylvania man and his emotional support alligator took a shopping cart spin around the local Walmart, where he claims they've never had a problem — but this recent trip earned them orders to stay away, the retail giant confirms.

This is lovely.
The knight stood, triumphant, over the prostrate dragon. He raised his sword high above his head and-
"I wouldn't if i were you"
The voice was in his head. Confused, he glanced around. A black cat was cleaning a paw, casually nearby.
He raised the sword again.
"Are you REALLY, really sure?" /1
