I fake being an extrovert. (he/him and/or they/them)
Inside of me are two wolves. One of them is a raccoon. The other is a possum.
Less cis the older I get.
I've been a fark loyalist for many years. It keeps me reading diverse & local news sources, has talkback in the chat bringing local or expert context to stories, and most importantly, the number of news stories is FINITE. no endless scroll.

LEVIATHAN CRVX IS HERE
This is the first "real" album from my occult / dark ambient / trip hop project Leviathan Crvx. It's a full live set you can watch on YouTube, an album download, and on Bandcamp: the project files for the Syntakt and the Deluge.

BREAKING: SCOTUS rejects Trump admin's request to allow it to end gender-affirming medical care in prisons — a significant, if tentative, rejection of one of the admin's most extreme anti-trans arguments.
Only Thomas and Alito noted they would have granted the stay.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.
Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights:
“I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Corporatist Democratic Party leadership needs to be defeated and jettisoned. We have to fight them, not because we don't want to fight Republicans, but because they refuse to.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC - @electdemocrats.bsky.social) is running anti-trans ads now, so I don't know how you can say the party itself isn't embracing transphobia.
There are still some good Dems out there, but transphobia is apparently a party value.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind.

Linda McMahon, the United States Secretary of Education, worked diligently to ensure children in her and her husband's "employ" could continue to be molested at WWE. She did this for the same reason she got the Secretary of Education job: Republicans like it when children are sexually abused.
If El-Sayed had gone “I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m not actually Muslim I’m fine with deporting them please vote for me” he would just look weak and convince no one. Anti-trans Dems are falling into the same trap.

I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money.
Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.
Neat personal guitar moment for me today. Wife mentioned Diana Ross's "I'm Comin' Out" and I heard that rhythm guitar part in my head, and wondered... "Hmm... that's pretty funky... I wonder if that's Nile Rogers."
And it is. 🎸
