Happy #IntersexAwarenessDay! Today I'm reposting my old Intersex 101 thread from Twitter - with new improvements, resources, and more! It's starting right here, read on!

If you haven’t played Signalis, stop reading this post and go do it. Yes, right now. Go!

So the "advice" doled out in this column makes me INCREDIBLY fucking angry as a former kid who was repeatedly taken to task by teachers for "inappropriate" drawings, culminating in a 9th-grade suspension spurred by Columbine paranoia and residual Satanic Panic. Arionne here says that was JUSTIFIED.

In my book I argue that IP fandoms are a crucial part of the economic model of the current media monopoly landscape, as fan campaigns drive down the value of creative labor via harassment and disposability, scare artists from taking risks with IP, and give execs a direct fan base all their own

Every time I see people citing brain MRI studies to back up the legitimacy of trans people's genders I'm just like... No, sweet innocent baby, don't. You're setting yourself up for a crisis when you find out about the foundational issues with brain sex MRIs.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Goddammit.

hi @itch.io , it's been almost two months since i first filed a ticket about my account 8190cdlx, which was flagged without explanation after i created it. i won't be able to submit the jam entry i've been working on in time for the jam because of this.

christ can you imagine if this came out today? these bitches would hit the transfem community like a hydrogen bomb

*Opens up a bag of green veg only for a bunch of Europeans with sour faces to fall out* Ah... I must've accidentally bought Brussels pouts

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

A new chapter for Scribblehub! DRN 6; in which Lycorine unhappily remembers men exist. www.scribblehub.com/read/1772883...

seems like "on the orders of a nazi every major news outlet on the planet hounded an innocent man to death because he's black" should be one of the biggest stories of the year

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!! Desert Bus for Hope 2026, the 20th year of Desert Bus! I hope y'all are ready for what promises to be the greatest show on Earth featuring a bus. What mischief, excitement, wonder and hilarity have we cooked up for this most auspicious year? Head to desertbus.org right now!

I'm going to point out that Jesse Singal has a very public track record of being intensely, specifically cruel to individuals, specifically the trans people who criticize him, whom he has hounded to their workplaces, harassed online, and (at times) successfully gotten fired from their jobs

I am at Desert Bus all week long, starting tomorrow at 4pm Pacific time! I also made a Bell Beast that you can win! #DesertBusForHope

Every gothic horror:

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

tech.lgbt/@glitchykits... I'm certain @techconnectify.bsky.social has already seen this but still LOOKIT

we should all be pissed off at this btw. if not because sex work is legitimate work and should be treated with respect, then because you should be concerned at attempts to gentrify online spaces as pretext to court investors and force out minorities so those spaces can become part of a portfolio.

Do not enjoy having to meter everything I say on here just because a shitload of people who cannot understand the difference between a joke and an imperial edict decided to follow me

moving over to bluesky from twitter was huge for my mental health because twitter sucked so bad but over the years bluesky has now become pretty much just as bad because well it is also literally just twitter. we did build the demon again to be fair

Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

Sci fi itch bundle full of lesbianism, gender, and giant robots. itch.io/b/3756/mecha...

an outdated system in a salmon farm using PHP was found to have been breached, allowing the attackers to perform remote cod execution

Oh cool, Turning Point UK is dabbling in assassinations

it would be cool if this outcome got the same amount of coverage as the anti-trans ads that caused it. would be cool if the people impacted by political rhetoric were treated with as much care and attention as those pushing it receive

the idea phase is the easiest and least valuable part of professional creativity. read the first draft of the first Star Wars if you doubt me Great art is made in the grinding, often miserable collision between the ethereal substance of an idea and the mud and blood and friction of reality

Six to one, Hekki Allmo #1000xResist

please stop replying to game devs saying things like "well look on the bright side those laid off devs can start their own indie studios now" because eventually one of us is going to snap and "WITH WHAT FUCKING MONEY" would be a shitty last thing to hear before you die

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Video games has decided to discontinue its once leading product, the video game

EA's closure of BioWare is transparently a vile move to shutter the studio that made by far their queerest titles. In the wake of this, I implore you: MAKE MORE QUEER ART. Make it trans. Make it horny. Make it scary. Make it loving. Make it with every inch of yourself. Flood the world with it!
