hi, cis folks!
this week, with some democrat votes, 2 anti-trans bills passed the house. one bans medicaid funds for trans youth care, the other proposes jail time for providers.
they haven't passed the senate, but dems may need convincing to vote no on both.
tap into the 🧵for a quick action.

a sequel:
cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by the trump-kennedy center than the fact that congress said a second time in 2 days, “no, really this kind of child’s healthcare should be banned & criminalized” & 46/47 non-GOP senators won’t commit to “i will oppose this.”

Larian's horrible hirring process is an open secret in the industry – insane amounts of unpaid work in "writing tests", excessive numbers of interviews, months and months of back and forth, etc. Everyone in games narrative circles has heard the stories at this point, probably from multiple people.
I know this because they tried to recruit me and I strongly considered it but they’re also a “do an unpaid writing test where you have to also make it playable” company so that’s not something I vibe with

I hate the online reaction cycle that praises a piece of art a lot and uses it as an example of what’s good about the medium but then the moment it gets awards or enough acclaim or fandom, suddenly we have to talk about how it’s actually not really that good and it’s overrated and always sucked

Over 20 years ago, Robert Roberson was convicted based on the debunked Shaken Baby Syndrome hypothesis and sentenced to death. Now, the lead detective on his case, Brian Wharton, is fighting to save his life. New for @thenation.com. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
Texas Almost Executed a Man Based on “Junk Science.” His Ordeal Isn’t Over.
Robert Roberson, who was nearly killed due to the discredited “shaken baby syndrome” theory, is still at risk.

Show us the last four albums you've listened to
Quite like this list, all great albums and a nice mix of the types of music i like. All great artwork too, especially life in cartoon motion, which is one of my favorite album covers (and favorite albums) of all time.

HUGE thanks to David for covering this - and yes, please come to the pub tonight, I know it's a long way out and a bit of a shithole but I really need to stick it to the homophobes so this is partying as praxis
Here’s a story for Bluesky and thanks to @hazelsouthwell.bsky.social please attend her pride in solidarity tonight! Or RT
![Pride still triggers homophobic pub goers
When Hazel Southwell took over the Royal Oak pub in Erith, south-east London, last December she feared the locals would shun a gay woman with Georgian heritage as she thought it was a Reform heartland.
The regulars surprised her, confrontations were rare and she secured a 400K in funds
for a renovation to change the decor and
60-year-old carpet. But when Hazel had to bar one drinker for posting online hate about a Pride party at the Oak, the bigot organised a boycott of the London pub.
Hazel then feared she would lose her job because of the drop in takings.
"It was difficult to secure the huge amount of funding to be spent on the pub," Hazel says. "It's a shame people have to spoil it by willing me to fail. Before this it was heartwarming that there was such good integration with LGTBQ+ [people], with everyone playing darts."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:grjd3hcat2bq3azu77jkfjw4/bafkreieyspguxtawxo6ul7u3mjkg5hx2q4ffdrs2gchdim2nvdr6gz5hzq@jpeg)

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done
eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

An Australian man with a US work visa was detained upon reentry, called a “retard” and told, “Trump is back in town; we’re doing things the way we should have always been doing them.”
He was held with 100 people including many Canadians.
