Jewish people are not the same thing as the state of Israel.

I get that it might be confusing because way too many of our elected leaders seem to reject this concept, but this is yet another way the rest of us can be better than those elected leaders.

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.
1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

@therapyjeff.bsky.social knows his shit. I'd add tip 5.5: make a safe space for what a child hears in in-person social spaces. Belonging matters to boys, but if you can offer a judgement-free reflection zone, the shit they'll want to adopt from friends' feeds will be met with YOUR context.
We hear a lot about boys getting radicalized online, and not enough about how to stop it.

Fucking livid. People dancing on the literal graves of trans people get to continue doing so with zero consequence, and will be afforded all the handwringing, thoughts, and prayers when they pass.

Meanwhile people DIRECTLY harmed by the abuse of the deceased will be punished for a sigh of relief

you cannot be disparaged by your own words... people cannot attack you with your own ideas

if ones words are repeated and they are viewed unfavorably that is not a reflection of the one who repeats

it is a reflection of the author

He joked multiple times about Paul Pelosi getting smashed in the skull with a hammer.
This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies.

He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.
