There is no marginalized group I'm more deeply concerned for than trans individuals. They bear the brunt of political scapegoating, facing not only discrimination but also alarming levels of danger globally. The dark echo of history warns us of the consequences of vilification. We must fight now.

So jetzt Mittagsschlaf

​ Paying a few dollars a month to use Twitter, which is run by a billionaire.

​ Donating a few dollars a month to help your Mastodon server, which is run by people who care about their communities.

Periodic reminder to check the "About" section on your Mastodon server to see if they have donation links. :)

In traffic and seeing the same moron, who crazily weaved and dodged in and out of moving traffic and FLEW past me, parked beside me at a light. All the stupid shit he did to get ahead did nothing but piss off the people around him

Hey automaker CEOs—meet the demands of your workers. Also, take a pay cut. You’re not 600 times more valuable than anyone, especially those in your factories. #news

Just got my new COVID vaccination. Thank you, science. Screw you, Ron DeSantis.
And WTF, Aetna: You are not covering the booster (or the RSV vaccine)??? Don't tell me you care about our health. Shame on you.

This is what taking on election deniers looks like: PA unveils automatic voter registration.

@ashton 🤣🤣🤣what a jackass

“Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was charged for a second time on Friday for not leaving a protest near an oil terminal after police ordered her to do so… If convicted again … she could face up to six months in prison.”

If Greta is thrown in prison while oil executives continue to walk free, I sure hope people start burning things down. I mean, burn it all down for all I care at this point. We’re being led by absolute fucking muppets.

I am so excited to finally share my @TexasObserver feature on the #Drag Queens of Austin and how they're defying the threat of legal crackdown and persecution in the streets, from the magazine. I spent months putting this together and I am so proud of how it came out... https://www.texasobserver.org/austin-drag-queens-defy-ban/

Good time to remind people that instead of being a scab, John Oliver is currently on tour expressly to raise money to pay the writers who currently can’t make his show.
Now that's how you show solidarity!

I repeat: no return-to-office policy is compatible with geeen values or goals.

The secret service is compromised

The secret service was compromised

The Secret Service will be compromised—unless something major is done

And why isn’t this bigger news? I wonder who calls the shots at our major media outlets 🤔

@anneapplebaum I think all of the billionaires in the Billionaires Boys Club think alike, are the enemies of democracy, and need to have their wealth trimmed, their businesses nationalized, and their lying selves inside courtrooms explaining why they aren't traitors or engaging in sedition. Enough is enough. Playing with our military like it is Elon's toy is beyond the pale. How is this anti-American pal of Putin's a defense contractor? The Senate is not doing its job. Ever.

@anneapplebaum RU are the knuckle-dragging neanderthals of the world, akin to Traitorous Racist, Uncouth, Maga, Putinista Enabling Republicans, aka TRUMPERs.

I met the engineers whose sea drones were blocked when Starlink didn't function in September 2022, because Musk feared "World War Three." But they tried the same attack again a month later, and they hit several targets in Sebastopol.

World War Three did not break out.

我想起一个故事，一男的相亲候选人里有一个大他10岁的女的，面容姣好，各方面条件也很好。但他很纠结，毕竟大了10岁呢，他各种找朋友询问倾诉，给自己找理由，让自己宽心，纠结了很久之后，他决定就是她了，然后找人家见面，这个大了他10岁的女人，见都不和他见面，从一开始就没看上他。我不知道这个故事是真是假，但它确实道出了个真相，就是男人总觉得女人是客体，是被挑选的，只有她符不符合自己的要求，没有逆向选择的可能性。男人觉得，自己喜欢的女人必然喜欢自己，从不考虑女人到底喜不喜欢自己，就算女人和自己在一起了，男人会觉得是自己魅力使然，一旦发现女人是因为金钱等现实因素，他就勃然大怒，说女人是婊子或者拜金。以前女人经济不自由，不得不委身于男人之下，现在即使同工不同酬，女人赚得更少，但只要能保证自己的生存，女人也不乐意委身于男人，然后男人也不乐意了，觉得女人要求太高，长期的社会优待让他们极速退化，在女人的挑剔下也不乐意结婚了。然后你们知道中国zf做了什么吗？降低结婚年龄，打压女性受教育的权力，暗中支持工作的男女不平等，企图把女性逼到生儿育女中去，结果是，杀女婴，更多的光棍，男性找不到老婆，就会出现社会问题。
